FH news Proposed New Forum Layout

[Deebs]

Just visited it. Very nice, sorry for being dumb be will we need to reregister, or will everything just transfer over?

As Meg as stated everything is transferred across if the functionality exists in XenForo (including the hashed passwords).

So when's it happening then? And will ForumRunner continue to work?

 

[MYstIC G]

Not until after XenForo supports thread tags from what I remember of the discussions.

Yes, ForumRunner should still work as there is an XenForo plugin and I use it on Console Forums without any issues.

As Meg said. I am awaiting Thread Prefixes which are not far coming. ForumRunner will be installed onto the site during the switchover period (looking at around 16 hours following several test imports).

I think The Lounge has a better ring to it than The Front Room for the General/OT merged location. I think the word lounge just gives a better feeling for that laid back, casual anything goes (well, almost anything) type of area. Other than that, all seems good for me.

Anything that refers to the forum as a real world object is shit tbh.

 

[SheepCow]

The forum is a real world object, it runs on a portable server that Deebs keeps with his ballbags

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Runs on a server? Like an athlete?

That's the only way it could be a real world object.

I don't like the Front Room. But I'm not sure what else to call it.

I do like the Back Room though.

The Lounge does sound better, ignore Wazz, you'll never please him
