    XF 2.2 Header and logo size (responsive)

    Okay, so as you may know, I'm very new to Xenforo. I've searched for guidance on this, but the only answer I found was something explaining that the ideal size of your logo and header background are based on your own needs. I get that, and that is true. That said, I'm hoping to be able to come...

    Moving my biggest community to XenForo

    One thing to add. We had weird permissions from groups that we had created with vBulletin. I'm working out some of those settings. It's something that is very edge-case, so not everyone will deal with this. That said, everyone that has come back so far seems to love it. We'll get more of the...

    Moving my biggest community to XenForo

    Ironically, I just sent that email out to all of the users. It should also help to bring some older members back, who might have forgotten about us. I might lose some members, but that is perfectly normal. I know the forum isn't exactly all ready to go with logos and art and colors changed...

    Moving my biggest community to XenForo

    Thanks! Definitely going to. It's been hard to focus on it like I want to today, because of family stuff, but I am looking forward to it. I'm sure... it already feels like my server is running faster. Page loads are so much faster than vBulletin were, and that alone should help members get over...

    Moving my biggest community to XenForo

    We officially moved it today, and it went just as smoothly. I'm really pumped to get the forum colors and theming closer to the style of the old forum, with all of the greatness that is now available. I'm going to be putting a lot of work into getting things set up, because it's actually fun to...

    I worked with Slavik based on his reputation here, and I was not disappointed. Everything was moved over quickly and works perfectly. We went from vBulletin 3.8 to the latest version of XenForo, and all 7000+ members and 1.4 million posts moved over without issues. His prices were fair for the...

    Moving my biggest community to XenForo

    @Grant we got a test move completed, and all of the data seems to have moved over correctly, which is fantastic. One of the moderators noticed that there was a panel that showed messages from people's forum profiles, by default. I agreed with her that this felt a bit invasive or odd, so I...

    Moving my biggest community to XenForo

    Thanks! lol. Yeah... It's pretty old. I'm really excited to leave it behind. If anyone can help me, I think @Slavik can. Should be pretty straightforward, right? :-D

    Moving my biggest community to XenForo

    Hey everyone! I have run several large community forums over the last 20+ years. My largest, by far, today, is at NarniaFans.com and I've been running that on vBulletin for the entirety of the site's existence so far. However, vBulletin has been a lot of trouble, and now they're ending support...
