The internet is drowned with dozens of articles about making active forum communities, these tips are not necessarily suited for everyone.

Hi @Greta Galubauskaitė Thank you for always being nice and informative in your email replies and for sharing the new update in our last email chat reply. That is how i found this forum here. I can now keep up to date with whats going on and see the great feedback and ideas from other community owners. I run a forum on G+ with over 65k members and I'd love to see my forum succeed but that would require it to improve and for the mobile friendly to actually be friendly. Alot of my members cant sign in using mobile therefore a lot of the new members i'm trying to get to sign up for their first time cant because the mobile wont cooperate when trying to log in or sign up. I would really like for these bugs to be fixed with mobile performance. Google + shuts down on April 2nd and I'd really love for this to be fixed as quickly as possible so i have more time to recruit those members who are having trouble getting in
