The forum is now running on XenForo

[John Pierce]

Over the last 24 hours I have migrated the forum to a new server and, more interestingly, to a new software platform.

We have been using vBulletin 4 for a loooong time and it is at its end-of-life. vBulletin has a separate product (which you must buy new rather than being in the upgrade path) with which I was not impressed.

Since I had to spend money on an upgrade in any case, I spent quite a bit of time reviewing the options and am very happy with the choice I made in moving to XenForo.

As with any update, there will be growing pains. I beg your indulgence as we work our way through any issues.

Please report things you find in this thread or message me directly.

Thanks!


John

One thing that I have been made aware of ... If you username had a comma in it, the comma has been removed.

For example:

John Pierce, Esq.

Will now be

John Pierce Esq.

So, you are forcing this old timer to learn new tricks. I guess you are proud of that?

Everybody is new to this forum??????

 

[John Pierce]

Lol. The software was developed by some of the former vBulletin developers so it should be similar in function. Hopefully it won't be too steep of a learning curve for any of us.

I don't see any provision to view posts in descending chronological order (newest on top). Is that no longer possible?

Solus,

It has been a long time coming. I am sure we will encounter some hiccups but I think it will be a big plus in the long run.

Try it now. Reload the page and see if you don't have an edit option.

That happened to me as well. I had to replace my avatar. I am not sure why but I will look into it.
