I think I'm falling in love...

Wow, you really go out of your way to be contrarian don't you? Do you ever log into windows or other forum software? Or did you conveniently forget those and spend your whole day looking for a counter-example? But if your post was to help discover, hunt down, and kill, other offenders with...

Which is why the number of unique installations is pretty irrelevant. A better metric would be number of active members per software platform. But... can't see how we can measure that unless the software vendors actually started collecting and publishing such data. Actually, here is a...

Let me suggest a more helpful reply: "You might not have noticed, but all you need to do is TAB twice and you are focused on the password input" Shelly, thx. Keep in mind new users, new members and their interaction in a new community. Yes, it might become second nature to you guys, I mean...

Didn't talk about installs. Nobody knows those numbers, unfortunately (but you are welcome to try), but a web search engine is an "ok-ish" way to measure "penetration". Again, penetration =/= installs. But it is easy to measure and indicative of the point I was trying to get across. Let's not...

If I have moused to the log-in panel and clicked on the username input box, I want to be able to enter my username then TAB then my password. This isnt working due to radio controls taking focus after a TAB. I don't really want to have to type my username, pick up the mouse, move to password...

In summary, Xenforo should be more expensive and have a greater committed/guaranteed feature set in its final release form, and some form of "approved/assured mods and addons" that can expand the feature set further. There would be confidence behind these approved/assured mods. To pay or not...

Why are so many XF owners bashing up on this guy and telling him to "go look elsewhere"? IMO anyone that uses that cheap 'go away' comment is no ambassador for XF and should consider refraining from posting. The diatribe doesn't help anyone. The XF community needs to HELP provide positive...

Let's do a different take on this. Whatever we all spent on vB, we see it is a mess, and what's more, it isn't getting any better, and within the next 12 months it won't be much different and will retain all its PITA maintenance/mod issues. Whereas whatever we spend on XF, we have a bit of...

Er, Blandt? That's $40 per year, not $40 for life! (unfortunatley!) I was one of those Suite suckers. Perhaps this explains other people's "once bitten twice shy" comments.

Ah, so there is an "in-crowd" early adopter group who paid less? Shame I missed that! Well XF can't reduce the price now without upsetting many recent license buyers. But with the legal case and unknown D-day I guess the fence sitters will sit it out a little longer until the future and...

All your points are valid. No challenge on those. Except perhaps the definition of the term massive. But I think the discussion raised by the OP is about fence sitters and target customers, and their perception of value. We can't judge that from the OP. He is clearly foreign. Is he from a...

And when the govt deficit is so big, and the public payroll so large, that you start charging students up to GBP 9000 to fill in expenditure holes, it is really bad! Cameron and his gvt have lost a lot of credibility. There is no argument that there are too many students studying unuseful...

I really don't think ONE LINE OF CODE takes away resources! All you do is add a condition that prohibits new users after a threshold maximum. Oh, and one line of text change "Forum software by XenForo™ Lite ©2010 XenForo Ltd". Look! I've already done half the work already!

I think XenF is expensive - in fact, way overpriced- for a new board, no track record, no/limited addons, STILL BETA, and currently advertised as NOT FOR PRODUCTION. However, I do also acknowledge that there are many people here who have established communities, understand the "hidden cost" of...
