My hosting is from Singapore and the site is about a City in India. Not a business forum, but a general discussion forum.

In that case I don't think there should be any direct relevance to your situation.

I have created a settings Page .. Looks like the attach.
And I save the date (plus one day) in the members table .. so if I update the agreement, I can enter a new date so the updated version is shown again for all registered user on the next login, and must accepted.
And this: "Future improvement: show the members a list of the agreements accepted." is not the best idea .. (I think)
With this you give other members proteted data (what a user have do) ..

Another thought: we have an agreement that hast to be signed during registration. This agreemet holds information that is to some degree redundat to the contents of the DSGVO declaration. Formally this part pof the information needs to be mapped 1:1. It is mandatory that details of the DSGVO relevant info is identical. So why not merge those to files and maybe also add the imprint (AFAIK it is legal to merge Imprint and GDPR declarion in one file). This would allow to maintain this info in one spot.
(I am going to do doing thisat least temporary because i want to go online with the upgraded forum this night.)

That's my suggestion.
But unfortunately the GDPR declaration must also be accessible from every page, like the imprint.

it was announced for early in June.
For the time until the release it should be possible to add a link to the Impressum and Datenschutzerklärung in the footer.
And - if possible - to switch to SSL if possible. At least during the login procedure.
Unfortunately my browser moans heavily about "mixed mode", apparently somewhere in the QJuery stuff which results in layout not being displayed if SSL is on :-(
BTW: i went online last night with just a visible Datenschutzerklärung/Impressum and a copy of the Datenschutzerklärung in the terms of use document which new users need to agree to anyway.
That should be sufficient to protect You from cease and desist letters (Abmahnungen) by specialized lawyers. These people will have problems to act upon the DSGVO anyway, at least on a private forum which is not in any economic competition. So in my view you should be pretty safe by providing these features.
