Okay, as far as "forums" are concerned, I'd never even considered doing something like this with XenForo before this morning. https://redlineprotocol.com/ Today, I began building Red Line Protocol - a crowdsourced world war three simulator where collaborative storytelling meets real-time...

Is there really no way to do this?

That really is something. They probably own the majority of forums that exist on the internet.

Regarding the standard XenForo style, I've actually stopped using other themes and switched all my forums back to it. It's clean and gets the job done. Most people are accessing my forums via smartphones, so a simple, clean screen is what I like. My latest project...

Jeez, when did Vertical Scope buy ProBoards? :p

The end of the road for Infopop (and UBB) was when they tried to reinvent the wheel with "Open Topic". I gave it a shot, reluctantly, and switched to vBulletin shortly thereafter. I waited until vBulletin 4 was in decent shape before upgrading from vB3 to vB4 - but vB5 wasn't very good. I gave...

IPS, huh? Really? I'm out of the loop on that. I don't want to derail this discussion so if you don't mind, send me a direct message. I'm curious about what's happening over there. Yes, vB4 was pretty bad for a long time - but I liked it toward the end. After vB5, I came here.

Makes sense to me. My want is an improved feed (what’s new).

I think this discussion got destroyed by the impression that people are looking for a complete overhaul. Whoever typed that phrase first, 100 lashes with a wet noodle on you.

Well... You and I love it - but we're about to get stabbed in the face for suggesting it. :p

Consistent baby steps would be fine. But I do believe it's important to keep the old school characteristics available even later on, for those of us who prefer it. Basically the same idea as now. Offer something for the new people now - and offer something for the old people later. If everyone...

We certainly don't want xenForo to reinvent the wheel. Most of us old timers :p remember when Infopop tried that... :o

I'm not in the "major overhaul" camp but some may think I am. My forums are still doing great. Not 2010 great, but great.

It's really about what your users want. If you're not getting a lot of traffic from new age social media, then it probably won't make much of a difference for you. However, if/when you DO get that traffic, those people will be familiar with the layout and functionality. Many of those types that...

XenForo, in my opinion, doesn’t need a major overhaul to cater to the new generation of internet users. All it needs is a What’s New page with an OPTIONAL new age layout. All the functionality already exists with the exception of discussions being scrollable on a single page with the ability to...
