Do I trust everything enough to do a 1.1.4 upgrade without running a test first? That is the question... Mar 27, 2013

  Hey, So when do you plan to have DP switched to XF?

  I decided 16 days to do a full import of data to XF probably isn't going to cut it. Made one that can do it in under 30m.

    So how does someone like me go about importing anything that fast? I am working on a vB3.7 conversion to XF, plus I need the Sphinx add-on updated for 1.1.3 (as I don't want ES).

  Hello, I found that Digital Point Spy had problems with special chars unicode. How did you fix it?

  Started working on rewriting my biggest vB addon for XF (Digital Point Ads)... Days like this make me think I lost my mind.

  I don't suppose the reordering of threads via drag and drop was one of the things you released? It looks amazingly and it would be something we are interested in :)

    Maybe someday... right now just focusing on getting what *I* need done. Will sort out what other people might want later. :)

  Just a curiosity: why you doesn't considered IP.Board for a switch years ago?
  
  Mar 2, 2012
  2. digitalpoint
    Not a big fan of IPB for whatever reason. Also a year or so ago, their plugin/addon architecture was terrible (not sure if it's better now or not).

  Oh DP you changed your pic! We can see more of your nice face on this one - but the other one was soooo cute.
  As a connoisseur of beautiful men I am torn between the two. Definitely torn.

    Actually, I was just messing with the Gravatar thing and noticed I had a Gravatar image, so I just toggled my avatar to Gravatar. :P

  Any chance of working together in any way to profit from add-ons? Just a random question.

    Yeah just wondering... every known and again I think of how nice it would be to work with someone I could bounce code design etc off and ask people to see if they are interested in these types of things. I want to create a paid portal as there isn't a good system yet but don't have time to do it all by myself at the moment.

    There's also the issue of me having a "to-do" list of things I need to do for my OWN site that is about 4-5 years (assuming noting else gets added to it) worth of full-time work.
    
    Oh yeah, plus I'm spending about 60 hours/week rewriting more than 1,000,000 lines of existing code from my current site for XenForo (in addition to the "normal" work I still have to do).
    
    *You* don't have the time? ;)
    
    Jan 7, 2012
  5. Robbo
    Yeah knew you had a lot to do, didn't think it was that much though. I am always available to help either paid or getting rights to things etc. When you convert to XenForo I'll be using your site a lot, would now but just don't like using vb at all. Will be talking to you later about making nice integration between my ad manager and your ad service as well. I'm happy to promote anyone who uses XenForo

    Digital dear my heart is with you.
    Yesterday I spent FOUR HOURS trying to make one small item SIT
    I SERIOUSLYy came close to giving up Bye bye XF.
    Fuhrmann rescued me today.
    Can't comfort you about being gipped by google. Just sharing fellow feeling on the horrors of WASTED (coding) TIME.

  Why oh why did I write so much custom code for my site? {sigh}

  I guess if anyone still needed confirmation that vB's gone down the toilet, you being here is it... but are you actually comfortable with switching given that you'll probably need to add another XF's worth of code or more just to get most of the core vB functionality? That's the only thing that's still keeping me from switching to XF from vB3...
  
  Nov 16, 2011
  2. digitalpoint
    While there is a little I've done (and still need to do) to XF's core functionality, 98% of what I need to do is replicating all the custom stuff we've built over the years.
    
    Nov 16, 2011
  3. Gladius
    Oh, I'm sure you've got even more custom stuff to rebuild. I haven't looked at XF in depth in some time but its permissions system and dozens of common features were still missing the last time I checked. Has that changed?
    
    Nov 16, 2011
  4. digitalpoint
    Just depends on what your definition of "common features" is I suppose... :)

    I have very little interest in making a Sphinx search engine for XenForo (nor did I want to for vBulletin). The vBulletin one was simply out of necessity. Hopefully that will not be a necessity for XenForo.
    
    Nov 13, 2011
  4. el canadiano
    Alright, that seems reasonable. Are you by chance gonna be releasing the pre-parse or some of the other performance-related add-ons for some of the larger forums here?
    
    Nov 13, 2011
  5. digitalpoint
    Probably some of the stuff at some point... right now just focusing on getting everything *I* need done though. :)
