Also used Matt for migration to Xenforo from Invision and now use him for hosting. Superb service and professional throughout. Defo will be using again.

Yep not purchased yet. Getting all ducks in row as migration across happening next month when our current season is over. Wheels in motion. Don’t worry

Yep thanks all for help, advise and recommendations for Matt. 👏

Hey thanks! Yep will check there too appreciated! For sure thank you! It’s definitely cheaper than Invision so defo an option weighing up.

Awesome thanks! Appreciate all the help guys. Will get the ball rolling on switching :)

thanks will check out!

thanks! yeah i am just looking around at hosting at moment now. appreciate the help

thanks!

Advanced search looks great. Worth getting? Also how is the support and updates for XF?

@smallwheels Yeah in all honesty there are workarounds so don’t need the addons as a necessity. We basically have a website that shows league tables, articles that our members write etc. The forum is where everything runs eg arranging games, discussions, transfers. Spreadsheet and player db...

1) great question! mainly due to the fact Invision have stripped down everything compared to how it was before and inflated the pricing. They took away marketplace and few other things. Myself and my community are now looking at fine tuning our setup and cutting costs. The self hosted option...
