Sorry for posting this as a question but I love the forum and have seen it written somewhere but have searched for ages and can’t find it (@Aaron or @Ben ??) What web service / platform does the SmartThings community forums use? I’m a teacher and think it would be an awesome platform to use to share ideas between schools. Anyone know? ---

Discourse… > **[Discourse - Civilized Discussion](https://www.discourse.org/)** > > Discourse is modern forum software for your community. Use it as a mailing list, discussion forum, long-form chat room, and more! BTW - The Web app works great on a mobile browser, as well as desktop browser, but I despise the fact Discouse doesn’t offer a mobile app and is not compatible with Tap-A-Talk. ---

Thanks gents. Unicorns can be pesky creatures. ---

If it wasn’t for those Unicorns, you could have just abbreviated that as LSD. ---
