XenForo migration

[x3sphere]

Wanted to give everyone a heads-up that sometime this week, probably Thursday or Friday, we will be migrating the forums over from vBulletin to XenForo. The forums will be offline during this period and we can expect downtime of 2-3 hours. Probably less if we don't run into any issues.

are we to expect any new features with this change?, or is it strictly backend changes?

Mostly just backend, but there will be a new default style.

 

[MenaceInc]

Yay, new styles

Does that include the emoticons?

Yes Although we can keep the old ones around too if people want.

Alright, the upgrade to XenForo is complete There may be some bugs, so if you come across anything strange, please let me know. We'll add the username colors back soon, those didn't get imported.

Might I add, kind sirs, that this forum looks awesome? Kudos for the change.

Now if only we had something like vb had to see on the bottom of the frontpage last 10 topics people posted in, it would be perfect

I think he'll it eventually.
Don't forget all these nifty addons must either be re-found for this forum software, or worst case completely recoded.

Well true. I'll just keep waiting

Also have you tried the MfM theme? It looks so sexy and sleek it's hard not to choose it O_O

 

[Hellcat]

Yeah, it's there to be loved, and loved it is!

I like the overall look of this new forum software better than the vB one....

 

[NeilR]

The Dark theme isn't complete but yeah it's swanky.

As for the new software: AJAX = sweet

Without a doubt. I'm already pretty much sold on this forum software.

Just a minor question, will XenForo support ForumRunner or TapATalk mobile apps?

I personally haven't really looked into plugins and whatnot at this point but I wouldn't be surprised if it did.

Damn sweet! Also, how do I change my sig? Been looking for that for like 5 min but haven't found anything yet.

Easiest way is to hover over your own user name at the top right corner of the forum home page and select "Signature" from the listing.

Refresh and look now; I modified permissions.

Wasn't working as well, but I found out the issue: the MfM theme doesn't have the option to modify signature. Might want to look into that

The option is there though..

EDIT: I implicitly set it to Contrib group; had only done Members previously. Any change?
