Right now I am trying to decide if I should switch my forums to XenForo or keep them with IPB. The primary reason is that IPB has IP.Content which allows me to create databases and put data in them. XenForo really does not have such a utility right now, and I have to rely on third party addons...
What do you mean? Because the fade effect does not kick in until 15-30 seconds until the page loads. Before that it just acts as a regular color change hover.
That helped a lot. Thank you. One other question, is it possible to reduce the delay of how long the drop down menu shows up? Currently it feels a bit laggy as the drop down menu takes half a second to a second to drop down.
When you put your mouse over any of the options in the navbar of xenforo (for example members). You will see an arrow appear next to it, and you physically have to put the cursor over the arrow for the drop down menu options to appear. I find this system a bit confusing since the arrow only...
More details in this thread, but I decided I need a plugin.
Willing to pay too..

Would a plugin be a better option? Because in this case a lot of changes would have to be made, and should you guys update it in the future its going to be a nightmare for me.
Will that allow me to use the custom fields for everything? Or just that template? I have to change a ton of other templates to facilitate that change across the board.
I did some research and to call a custom field, you need to have the {$user.customFields.fieldID} parameter, but when I put it into the code (such as below, my fieldid is firstname). It outputs only.
| Castile, not Alex | Castile. Help?
Not that simple, there are hundreds of templates that control username. Also I made a custom field with Id name of firstname, and did {$firstname} | username.
However its just blank space | Castile instead of Alex | Castile
I am basically looking for an addon for my forum where a user fills out their first name during the sign up, along with their forum username. Afterwards the username is displayed everywhere as:
John | JDoe123
I think it would allow gamers to connect better with each other on my forums...
