Feature New Site...

Hey Dp man,

Congrats on the new digitalpoint! Seems everything's work smoothly great and fine on my end.
Indeed, XenForo is really good.

Thanks!
Regards.

 

That's glad to see and it helps to create duplicate accounts specially people who just make 25 posts and than start buying and run away without paying.

 

If it is like that than I had also 30+ reps (Feedback or i-Trader) still in my Profile "Likes Received" is zero..kindly guide me about this incident...

Regards

Mark

 

Congrats Shawn, you've done a great job in converting to the new system. Hope your new baby will bring you luck and do everything what you expect from it.

 

Your iTrader score is available in your profile under the marketplace tab. Though this system is no longer used and just there for reference.

Under yours I can see "Legacy iTrader rating: 25 - (96.3%)".

 

Congrats on getting everything moved over! Have been following your posts over at XF for a bit now, and figured it was just a matter of time. The new site is of course going to take some getting used to, as with anything, but I love it!

Nicely done!

 

Hi,
As a link buyer exchanges in many cases hundreds of messages per day the new layout could get confusing. I currently post a thread and let the offers come in, review the offers and make offers, as there are no folders anymore i think it will be difficult to manage all my orders,offers and possible future offers. If a message comes in i am unable to organise it in a specific structure other than looking through the conversions i have (20 pages currently). Is there a way to revert to the out layout? Although the new layout looks great i think the functionality of it for the work i do is lacking in comparison to the old version.

Could someone also advise me on where i can find my recently started threads so i can see what niches i have already posted, thanks.

 

I like this version a lot more than the past. I know you have been working on this for a very long time and I am glad to see it completed now. I think you gave a bit of life into Xenforo and the trust of it's members again so congrats.

I like everything much more than the last. Think people just need to adapt to the change

 

Hi Shawn,

I was checking suggestion & feedback section and found one thread titled
"Pm Inbox, Can't Find Folders Or Delete Multiple Messages"
As far as I have knowledge, In this version of XF we cannot delete multiple conversation at once, however If admin can install add-on like "Conversation Manager" it will provide an extra feature Conversation Management, And Users will be able to select multiple conversations at once and choose whether to Mark as read, Unread or Leave.

It is just a suggestion if you can implement it, would be easy for all users to manage conversations.

Regards

 

How to bump a thread?

 

Using the following button, maybe?

 

I sure do like the spy area. It allows me to see real time post, allowing me to have a better chance at helping people.

 

Looks and feels great, always love using forums with XF

There are no security flaws in XF lol. I think the only one I ever saw was a 3rd party swf uploader issue which was fixed straight away.

Moving forward your be looking at XF for years on here as VB5 is utter garbage code wise

 

Oh, like this buggy painfully slow steaming pile of bloated manure isn't? If the front end code is any sign of what's going on under the hood, they were better off before... a SCARY thought given what a hunk of junk vBull has been since v4.


I mean when it's outputting complete ***tardery like:

               <dl class="pairsInline">
                       <dt>Message Count:</dt>
                       <dd><a href="search/member?user_id=708043" class="concealed">54</a></dd>
                   </dl>
               
               
               
                   <dl class="pairsInline">
                       <dt>Likes Received:</dt>
                       <dd>3</dd>
                   </dl>
               
               
               
                   <dl class="pairsInline">
                       <dt>Best Answers:</dt>
                       <dd>1</dd>
                   </dl>
<dl class="pairsInline">
<dt>Trophy Points:</dt>
                       <dd><a href="members/msp2011.708043/trophies" class="OverlayTrigger concealed">23</a></dd>
                   </dl>
             

Code (markup):

Or even better things like fieldsets without forms, abusing lists on obviously tabular data, repeatedly restating what should be TH with SCOPE as inlined text... static inlined scripting, static inlined style, definition lists EVERYWHERE for no **** reason apart from developer ineptitude... doesn't really inspire confidence for what's going on under the hood.

That this steaming pile is wasting a megabyte on jquery asshattery for a forums that shouldn't need more than 50k of scripting for ANYTHING, 165k of CSS for christmas only knows what (no reason to be more than 40k most likely), multiple recursive document calls (which shouldn't even be possible unless the scripting is screwing up), endless pointless iframed crap (resulting in a total of 484k of markup being transferred)... The word ineptitude is truly appropriate... and that's BEFORE talking about the noodle-doodle lack of semantics, endless pointless DIV for nothing...

Or that none of it is being served compressed... Though that's not Xenforo's fault.

 

Well, it'll take some time to get used to this XenForo thing. Overall, it's a good move IMO.
Though I yet to explore every other thing I love on DP, I already started loving it.

 

Yes we need to improve ourself a little bit to become familiar withXF. we can guide each other with the XF features that we are familiar to. This new change will for sure stop spammers and this is what we were actually looking for so cheer up guys say thanks to DP for this great effort.

 

Popped over to say congrats again and looking exceptional.

 

That is not even stock XF code.

 

Xenforo is no where near a perfect forum software but in my personal experience it is much better than vBulletin. Major slowness is down to re indexing I would presume as was said back in this post. So all should settle down or be improved over the time as DP settles down to use on Xenforo.


That been said, the whole idea of moving was for planning the future for DP. The coding and platform is much easier to work with and create other, improved features so there is nothing to worry about Xenforo. It is a sound platform for DP to be working with.

 

Really? ~80 requests per new thread page, and ~40 on repeat views a steaming pile? I see many examples of optimization going on, but I'm sure some aren't in place yet (like compressed output, cleaning up JS, etc)
