We are blowing away the test forum at this time in preparation for a clean install
 
Thanks for the update, Kevin! This has been a great Forum and place to go for me for many years. You have always done your best and it is obvious. :thumbup::thumbup:
 
Well, fortunately we're retaining a backup of this current site in case XF fails terribly, and unlike some other sites we're not ditching previous posts and starting over from square one. This is going to be a fairly minor change from the end user perspective - it's still a forum, with all the old features (just with some new names) and some new features too.

Sounds like you guys are well prepared and know what you're doing. Keep up the good work. :thumbup:
 
Hi... thank you for all the help and support you do to keep this place so great!!! And your communication is always flawless!! Thank you thank you!!!! So enjoy this hobby as a retired guy...... Bob
 
Guess it depends how phone friendly it is .
Taptalk is with the times FYI lol .
It's one of the most forum friendly apps you probably ever need or have used .[emoji6]

I'm sure it's useful but what I meant by that was, it was created during an era where the majority of sites were not mobile friendly. Now that the standard is to have your sites easily viewable on phone or tablet, tapatalk should be forsaken, especially if this site is upgrading.
 
Will the new forum allow the users to upload pictures directly from cpu?

That would be a GREAT improvement IMO.
 
Sure, if you have a paid subscription

I agree as long as the new forum format loads pictures as well as taptalk effortlessly in seconds not upside down and sideways or saying error most of the time . Also the same type of notifications and dependable as taptalk via message notifications.

A like button?
We don't need no stinking like button!
Don't want it, won't use it, please lose it.

Bingo! This is the only reason I use Tapatalk instead of the BF website!

Daniel.
 
Thanks for the heads up Spark and BF Staff for all you do 👍
 
Another please yes for Taptalk.
And look--no Taptalk signature! LOL! (It' very easy to get rid of.)

Thanks!
 
I guess I'm the only one who just liked the forum how it is warts and all.

I do appreciate the dedication to improvement and am sure I'll enjoy it just as much as always.
Spark, thanks for all the hard work.
 
I may actually pay for a membership after the switch. :D

Xenforo is a much better platform than vB
 
I've been checking it out and I'm impressed.

I haven't found the ice cream dispenser yet.

It is going to come with ice cream, right?

I've got a hankering for some Mocha flavored :p
