My biggest concern is the communication. This is something I have been complaining about a long time ago, and then the thread got locked, and they even threatened the permissions of "some" users from replying to threads at all. (See this comment: https://xenforo.com/community/threa...ticipation-of-the-xf-team.209034/post-1592128).
I really recommend you to have a look at this thread:
For some reason, alot of "old-timers" who came out of the wood works in that thread, dont agree must be a "good old boy" syndrome type of deal.Claro! He did an outstanding job with this research.
I find it a bit humorous they can blame us for conspiracy theories (or gut feelings) when they refuse to communicate. They still have not learned. Some have moved on. Some have stayed the course. A lot of us are on the fence. It's in their hands.Please stop the conspiracy theories or imagining some dramatic plot twist. It just isn’t there.
To be honest, I think they just shared that review in their Slack channel and made some fun of it. They don't seem to concern that much about the bad reviews, as long as people keep buying licenses and the amazing developers like @Ozzy47 and others keep developing addons for their software.well, you don’t want to be part of a community or customer to a place where you have no right to talk, or criticise about the product you paid for.
I have left my review about my experience with the customer service…

If we didn't, we'd be long gone.PS. I really like using XF for what it's worth.
Same. Like I said it is super solid and super flexible. Love it.PS. I really like using XF for what it's worth.
Are we gonna ignore that the door was big enough for the two of them?
Shhh! The door did not have enough floatation for the weight of both!Are we gonna ignore that the door was big enough for the two of them?
Weren’t the lifeboats supposed to be shipped by XenTanic? Last memo I got was that they’d ship them within the upcoming weeks.Shhh! The door did not have enough floatation for the weight of both!
TBH the only thing keeping me here is the work it will take to import into other software.If we didn't, we'd be long gone.
With this massive delay and lack of comms from the developers and all the (justified) complaining about it, I do wonder if when 2.3 finally comes out, people will say it was totally worth it, or too little too late. I suspect the latter, unfortunately.

Big shame it's come to this, because for me, XF has the best balance of features v price out of all the forum products out there and works very smoothly. Shame it's such a small market and forums as a whole are in the doldrums, or the devs would feel under more pressure to release updates to keep up with the competition.
Did you know that they removed post numbers over a decade ago? They point blank refuse to add them back, even as an ACP option, either. For me, this is a dealbreaker.I am not sold on IPB so would / will migrate to Discourse.
Of course some people will complain no matter what, but I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about the reasonable expectations of the majority.People will be disappointed, as always, when you launch a product or a software even if is established is really difficult to meet the "vocal minority" expectations.
Nonetheless people will renew their license and gladly accept every update they can obtain. Most of them will be happy, some of them will not. Maybe someone will consider to change software, maybe.
Is a huge investment for someone change the platform they are based on. An update is better than nothing and probably enough to keep people on board.
I have a feeling they will address everything in the first post of this update when they will be ready to tease it.
No point to say something now to build again expectations and fail to meet them again.
