Vanilla has been used to power tens of thousands of community forums around the world\nand we couldn't be happier if you've decided to use Vanilla to grow yours.\n\n| Forum                                                                                                         | Rich Editor                                                                                                   | Dashboard                                                                                                     |\n| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1770056/51584623-2a9e5480-1ea4-11e9-9650-b37b0d6da609.png) | ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1770056/51584966-8fa67a00-1ea5-11e9-8fe2-1b110035a025.png) | ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1770056/51422470-00cfef80-1b7d-11e9-9d3f-25ada61cecea.png) |\n\nEvery community is unique. Vanilla is a finely-crafted platform on which designers and developers\ncan build a custom-tailored environment that meets your community's particular needs.\n\n## 5 reasons Vanilla is the sweetest forum\n\n1. We've reimagined traditional forums for mass-appeal.\n1. Our theming flexibility is second-to-none.\n1. Impossibly good integration options with single sign-ons and embedding.\n1. The best tools available for community management.\n1. Curated features with great plugin options, not the kitchen sink.\n\n## Installation\n\nThe current version of Vanilla requires PHP 7.2+ and MySQL 5.7+. The following PHP extensions are also required: cURL, DOM, Fileinfo, GD, intl, JSON, libxml, PDO\n\n-   [Local Installation](https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla-docker)\n-   [Our Cloud Hosting Solution](https://vanillaforums.com/en/plans/)\n-   [The Basics of Self Hosting ](https://docs.vanillaforums.com/developer/installation/self-hosting/)\n\n_Upgrading from an earlier version of Vanilla? See [our upgrade notes](https://docs.vanillaforums.com/developer/installation/self-hosting/#upgrading)._\n\n## Changes to Fulltext Indexing\n\nFull-text index support has been disabled by default as of Vanilla 4. To enable full-text index support, add a `FullTextIndexing` key under the `Database` section of your site config and set its value to `true`. **Failure to add this config value will result in full-text indexes being removed from Vanilla's database tables.**\n\n## Contributing\n\n-   Local Development - [Environment](https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla-docker), [Configuration \u0026 Debugging](https://docs.vanillaforums.com/developer/tools/environment/) \u0026 [Build Tools](https://docs.vanillaforums.com/developer/tools/building-frontend/).\n-   [Running Unit tests](https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla/blob/master/tests/README.md).\n-   Coding Standard - [PHP](https://docs.vanillaforums.com/developer/contributing/coding-standard-php/), [Typescript](https://docs.vanillaforums.com/developer/contributing/coding-standard-typescript/), [Database Naming](https://docs.vanillaforums.com/developer/contributing/database-naming-standards/)\n-   [Writing Pull Requests](https://docs.vanillaforums.com/developer/contributing/pull-requests/)\n-   [Contributing Guidelines](https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)\n-   [Contributing to Translations](https://github.com/vanilla/locales/blob/master/README.md)\n\n## Getting Help\n\n-   [Troubleshooting upgrades \u0026 installs](http://docs.vanillaforums.com/developers/troubleshooting/)\n-   [Official documentation](http://docs.vanillaforums.com)\n-   [Vanilla community forums](https://open.vanillaforums.com/discussions)\n-   [Official cloud hosting with professional support \u0026 migration services](https://vanillaforums.com/plans)\n-   [File a detailed bug report](https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla/issues/new?template=bug_report.md)\n-   [Plan out a new feature](https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla/issues/new?template=new_feature.md)\n\n## Reporting Security Issues\n\nPlease disclose security issues responsibly by emailing support@vanillaforums.com with a full description or join our [bug bounty program](https://hackerone.com/vanilla).
