FORUM UPDATE April 2016

[tx_shooter]

The forum software is migrating away from vBulletin 4.2 due to many reasons. The new software is XenForo and is a well supported and mobile friendly forum software. This update is expected to take around an hour but expect two hours just to be safe. Feel free to post comments, changes, and anything else regarding the update here. Once the update is done there will be other changes made quickly so as to add functionality and other social media support.

Just waiting on the 3rd party admin to kick it off.

Ahhh...

 

[tx_shooter]

Changing software platforms so I found a guy with experience moving a few larger forums from vB to the XF platform.

 

[Silverback]

Oh yeah!

Way more mobile friendly from what I see so far.

Looks like I have some settings to iron out tonight but overall this is looking good.

 

[Anathollo]

Very nice! Seems to load faster as well.

I would like to request a bolder line between posts on the desktop view. It almost seems like posts are running together or there is not much separation.

 

[Silverback]

Im digging it.

I would a option to go to last post when opening a thread. At least I don't see it yet.. I may be missing it.

 

[tx_shooter]

Are you running mobile or desktop now?

 

[Silverback]

I tried it in Chrome on my PC and then in the Safari browser on my phone.

 

[tx_shooter]

Any issues in the different browsers?


This post sent from a VA exam room. If I disappear y'all know where to look.

 

[tx_shooter]

Anyone tested posting a pic directly into the post yet?

 

[Silverback]

I only see the option to insert a URL for a photo in Chrome.

On Mobile, there's an option beside "Post Reply" that says "Upload a File". Click that, click "Choose File", and wit will give you an option to take a picture or choose one from your phone gallery.
