Proposal to improve forum stability and structure

Hello dear administrators,

I would like to raise a concern about the stability and structure of the forum, as it is becoming increasingly difficult to be active here. Often, the forum is unavailable or you can no longer reply to your own posts. Unfortunately, this is very frustrating and a shame, as the forum is an important point of contact for many of us.

Question for our administrator, BigJohnT:

You recently made some adjustments to the server structure. A question about this:

Would it be possible to share a new database, i.e., create a new table in the database?

Is it possible to create a new folder in the root directory where a new Joomla 6.x can be installed?

I would like to implement this suggestion in collaboration with other interested members of the forum.

Specific suggestion for improvement:

A) Installation of a new Joomla 6.x

Installation of the Kanuna forum for Joomla

C) Preparation so that other areas can also be migrated or integrated if desired, such as:

* Downloads
* Search
* Documents
* Archives
* Community
* Forum (this could then be given a new location)
* Wiki
* Source

This is, of course, only a suggestion and not a mandatory requirement! I am not very familiar with Joomla (I only have a small static page with it), but I am convinced that a fresh installation of Joomla and a new forum would improve stability and user-friendliness.

Important:
I am not aiming to migrate the existing forum! Users would have to re-register in the new forum. However, a transition process could be created in which existing members receive an email with a password that they can change when they log in for the first time.

Additional help:
If anyone in the forum is more familiar with Joomla or server structures and is willing to help, please respond with the words: “I offer my help!” Perhaps we can work together to come up with a stable solution.

I hope this suggestion is met with understanding and look forward to your feedback!

Best regards,
Mücke
