Most, if not all, forums use commercial software and, given
the forum owner's inability to help, I don't think its his own
work!

Look at the bottom of a page, particularly the index page -
you'll usually find something like "Another bulletin board
from xyz" or similar.

If you can supply that information you stand a much better
chance of getting a meaningful answer.

For example, it might be a standard feature that the forum
owner has turned off by accident.

If you can't find any identification, ask the owner what
package he is using.
