So last night I paid for a license for XenForo, downloaded it and then installed it. Then I spent about an hour porting over all of our stuff. Flawless. Fucking flawless. It was amazingly easy to do. All of your logins are there and I think the passwords even may be, which is incredible!
I'll give the address at the end of this post but there are a few things you need to know.
- User names can not have commas. If your user name had on I simply removed them. So "Allen, Who is Quiet" became "Allen Who is Quiet". I think the only other person this affected is "Fine, Fresh, Fierce". It was changed to "Fine Fresh Fierce".
- Any posts you make or changes you make will be erased when we redo the install and port it over - if we end up doing that. It's not set in stone that we are moving to XenForo. Right now I'm looking at more like 75% or so.
- No addons are present yet. DragonByte is working on porting theirs to XF so we should be seeing some updates. Other than games I don't see XF needing as many as vB did to be fun & funky fresh.
Please report any bugs you find as well as suggestions and what you'd like to see.
This is still beta software but it is some slick, slick stuff. I'm still learning it and you may see some changes happening in real time as I learn how to do stuff. Have fun and tell me what you think.
