Forums and the marketplace became too old

• The forum does not have a reward system, which completely repels developers from responding.
• The forum and marketplace use old BB codes and old emoticons. Converting product descriptions to BB codes every time is too much. After all, there have been good Wysiwyg editors for a long time.
• Advertised modules take up most of the top page when browsing the marketplace.
• The two oldest banners hang on the main page of the forum and take up half the screen. This prompts you to turn on ad blocking, but what about those who do not have it?
• There is no notification system for new topics and other events.
• There is no subscription system.
• Ancient as a mammoth, a messenger was incomprehensible to users.

So what forum software do you suggest OpenCart should use?

Why is version 4 on the main page of opencart.com? Nowhere is there a sign that it is not stable. Instead, we have to tell all forum users not to install and upgrade to version 4 because it's not stable. And this can only be said for those who have reached the forum, and there are only a few of them.

It's scary to think how many people have already been pushed away by version 4. The problem is that people do not want to sit on older versions, and since they need an online store, they need it as soon as possible. No one will wait for stable version 4. It is better to look for something else, like Magento or Shopify, for example.
