A couple of questions

[Blockhead]

I have a couple more questions before I decide if I want to buy this software.

1. I saw that XenForo supports the article like posts with previews (see image bellow). My question is am I able to get that same structure and put it on the homepage (example, user goes to example.com and when the site loads that's the first thing he sees)

2. How secure is it / is it updated frequently
3. If I do buy it, what's the style / extension market like. (How many choices are there / which are the best)

Also feel free to point out some other things I should keep in mind.

Best regards.

My question is am I able to get that same structure and put it on the homepage

Yes - by setting an article forum as the index page.

How secure is it / is it updated frequently

See here for dates of releases and security fixes: https://xenforo.com/community/forums/announcements/

If I do buy it, what's the style / extension market like.

XenForo 2

Thank you very much!

A couple of questions. Knowing when to use the preposition of after the phrase a couple can be downright confusing.

Also feel free to point out some other things I should keep in mind.

Although there are some free add-ons and styles, the majority are premium and will cost extra. Something to keep in mind.

I just selected XF 2 Resources and filtered for free ones. More than half of the resources are free. I then checked for free XF 2 Add-ons, although less than half are free, there were still 37 pages of free add-ons listed. That's not too shabby,

Thank you all for your answers. I have decided to buy XenForo as my forum solution. It satisfies my requirements (updated fairly frequently, certain features, big extension library) and from what I've seen has an active community around the software.

Sorry, Jeremiah with a lightsaber is just all kinds of wrong. Stick a Hawken or a mountain rifle back in his hands.
