    Most webmasters make a mistake by not preparing their website before the move. I had a sandbox website where migrated my contend played around with stuff to match most of the thing we previously had and wrote detailed tutorials on "what is what" the result was more happy users and almost no complaints.


    In the first post he said something about writing 15 million lines of code over two year of preparation. From what I see today, DP will just fine.

    I don't like:

    - The quote (reply text) color, as another user said, it looks like it's actually more important than the post itself and cut off the page, way too dark IMO.

    - The martian smiles. not my taste at all... :) << does it look like i'm happy?? Looks more sick than happy...

    - The edit post windows that is way too long to scroll down.

    - Breaking space between paragraphs are too high.

    I like:

    - Signature links to be no-follow for everyone including premium members (I don't think many will like this, I'm premium btw.)

    - The new font size reads well, the fixed page layer and the pretty much intuitive new design :) << (no no i'm not sick of it lol)

    Great job, wish ya the best!

    I don't think its a good idea to hide your subforums like they are now. It makes it hard to discover your site structure and easy to forget about the majority of your forums.

    I wonder if DP participation and traffic will increase like it has done for other big boards that moved to XenForo. It would be very interesting to see the change of your statistics over the coming months.

    BTW: the quick edit function is acting funny. Shows no text in it. I had to go to advanced edit.

    Two things I'm noticing...

    - I'm getting 3 alerts on the navbar for the Marketplace link but no matter where I explore within the Marketplace the alerts are not going away. When I am within marketplace.digitalpoint.com I don't get the alerts but as soon as I move back to forums.digitalpoint.com I get the alert notice again.

    - At forums.digitalpoint.com/marketplace/payment-history it is showing three transactions for January of this year; all of them are for a single purchase that took place back in 2010 but it shows that on January 20 of 2013 I sent a payment followed by two reversals.

    Is there going to be (obviously in the future) a choice of styles with a style that fills the whole screen ? I can live with the changes but :

    Sidebars. Most people dont like them. I am on a 22 inch monitor on this site and 2/3 of my screen isnt even used.

    In the Marketplace,the first third of the screen (left to right) has nothing. The middle third has the content with a whopping 12 tabs with pictures, text and info stuffed in to it and the last third is taken up my a sidebar with filters and new listings for half a page then nothing. Even the forum wastes 2/3 of my screen.

    Normal forum browsing is bad enough but the marketplace is just plain horrible to view.

    Nope. Xenforo's page is some VERY well crafted marketspeak -- the type of language intended for the type of folks who think they can get sound technical advice from the pages of Forbes -- which is akin to getting financial advice from the pages of Popular Electronics. The easily recognized propaganda methods present include card stacking, glittering generalities and transfer... (thankfully name calling, bandwagon, plain folks and testimonial are absent).


    Of course that it too is an inaccessible train wreck of "how not to design a website" isn't exactly encouraging either -- not that the 80%+ of folks out there who are on that magical combination of default font sizes and 1024...1366 wide screens would ever notice. It just tells the rest of us to go plow ourselves.

    Where can we find the source that other big boards that moved to XenForo had a decrease in traffic? I can actually confirm the opposite from my own experience.

    On topic of the move towards XF by DigitalPoint: very brave, and I am sure once everybody is familiar with the tons of extra features that come with this software the majority of the DP users will love it.

    Well I appreciate you're trying to change things up here..

    I'm not a fan of the new site at all and removing iTrader takes away one of the only systems that mostly worked for seeing if someone is any good.. Seems many forget the old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" the same should go for the web site was perfect for the last 6 years

    1) how does that change what I said.. I didn't say I was surprised.. I said I was unhappy about it
    2) a thread from over 2 years ago.. typically if it doesn't happen within the first year then why bother talking about it at all for that long?

    You have misread my post. I wrote that both traffic as posting increased, not decreased.

    I have to agree on that.

    Also my problem is that I cant post on Buy/Sell Section even though I have over 1.3k posts.
    To get this straight, someone who is established has to like a post of mine, in order for me to be an established user, even though I am 4+ years member. Am i correct on this?

    if i'm the owner of XenForo i would give you a a licence for free your forum will increase the sdales of the XenForo i believe many of the DP users will move to XenForo as you did because they trust your choice

    It's good software, I'd rather support them and give them money.
