    Widgets

    Let's see, for example, if you want people to read more, you should have "latest posts" widgets; if you want to encourage discussion in the forum, you should have "featured topics" widgets; and if you want to showcase the forum's identity, you should choose "about" or "about" widgets. These are...

    Optimizing for deep reading

    And above all, the reading design should be comfortable and easy to read so that all your users can read without problems. Secondly, structure your content well; topics should be clearly defined in different sections, but don't overdo it. And finally, always remember not to overwhelm users with...

    Reducing visual clutter, the right way

    To avoid this, you should always prioritize what's essential, not everything, otherwise it will become overloaded. Then you can, for example, group functions. This way you can have many functions but all grouped under a main function. This is widely used in all forums. If you complement all of...

    CTAs

    I write the same CTA text in the forum myself, so I can express whatever I want, and if I use it, I think it's essential if you want to send a very important message to all forum members equally. You can also complement it by sending direct messages to each forum member.

    Design Choice Flopped

    The designs overloaded with widgets and banners were popular but clearly failed due to the enormous saturation they generated in the forums; then the dark backgrounds with light typography also failed, I suppose because in the long run it feels like it hurts the eyes

    Highlighting without cluttering

    I always recommend pinning only the essentials, highlighting a few main threads—not too many, to avoid saturation—then grouping multimedia content into sections or tags that are quite specific, and also having a periodic rotation to alleviate any kind of saturation in the forum.

    Visual Consistency

    Visual consistency is definitely essential. If the forum changes its font, color, and other elements without prior notice and several times a year, users may become confused and think the forum has completely changed or that they've entered a similar forum. Therefore, it's important to maintain...

    Fonts

    I'm keeping the original font; I've tried changing it several times and it never looks the way I like. I browse the forum like a normal, average user, and honestly, in my case, the original font seems like the best option.

    Custom registration blocks/pages

    For now, I've always used the default registration method, as it causes the fewest problems when a new user registers on the forum, but if you know how to configure it correctly, you can customize it.

    Preventing Overwhelming Layouts

    I have a very firm belief in forum design: the simpler and more practical, the better! No extravagant or experimental designs. While a design might be visually appealing, if it doesn't function well because of the design, people will simply leave.

    Biggest Design Mistakes

    Making forum registration complicated because the registration methods don't work well, then filling it with add-ons and plugins that make the site run too slowly and take a long time to load—this is the typical mistake I've seen in various forums.

    Is Your Forum Self-Hosted or Cloud Hosted?

    Initially, I used the cloud because it was the cheapest and most practical option. Now I use my own server because it's clearly the most secure. I like having complete control over all my projects and everything I do.

    What is the best software to use to make a poultry forum?

    I would recommend using WordPress; it's always the best for creating websites and forums. Regarding creating the poultry forum, you can use the bbPress and BuddyPress plugins that WordPress offers to create the type of forum you're looking for.

    Bad experience with the support team?

    The typical problem with irresponsible support: they tell me "we'll contact you to resolve it" or "it will be resolved in a few days," and then they never message me again. I have to keep sending messages, and they still don't give me an answer or even reply at all. How I hate such irresponsible...

    Christmas

    Yes, I got a PS5 as a gift. I didn't have one and I wanted to buy one so I could get ready to play GTA 6, but it's great that I got it as a gift, so it was an excellent Christmas present.
