Thanks for the link — and it’s great to find out about this installation! The site is loading quickly for me; are there particular pages where you are finding the page loads to be slow? And has this issue been going on for a while or is it something that just started happening?

Hi Simon,

Hi Milano,

Yes, you can use CBOX in commercial contexts. You just can’t sell the code

Hi Stephanie,

The CBOX team would love to hear about any accessibility issues. Please
post your thoughts here or email us at commons@gc.cuny.edu and we will see
what we can do to address any issues you find. As always, we also encourage
other developers to join us in improving CBOX!

Best,

Matt

Hi Greg,

You might look into some BbPress plugins for additional forum functionality

Best,

Matt
