At last! DPreview.com moving to Xenforo

[JamesBrown]

Such good news, I enjoy their site, but how I hate those threaded replies that they've used for years. No doubt there will be moans from those who dislike change; but XF is ten times better that the system they've been using.

Say's in the comments they're using XF Cloud, which is good.

Seems like a lot of fans of the old threaded conversations.

Hopefully, DPReview will convince XenForo to add threaded view.

No drama queens whatsoever

Your amazing design is what kept me a dedicated member since 1999. This new design pretty much ends it for me.

Maybe getting a big photo site like this on board will give the XF team a nudge to give the media gallery a much needed proper revamp.

Dpreview write in their announcement:

This update will deliver significant performance improvements and introduce new features, including a mobile-responsive design, enhanced photo galleries, and an all-new direct messaging system that supports group conversations.

Hard to imagine that they are referring to the XF Media Gallery add on here. If they do their photo gallery until now must have been abysmal.
However, they made a video about the change and you can see their Gallery there:

Other than that a new customer of this size is a pretty big fish for XF and for the XF cloud. There must have been intensive discussions, preparations and adaptions for that project. Maybe this explains partly the delays with 2.4.
A forum of that size in XF cloud must generate a big revenue stream, so maybe (hopefully) this benefits all of us longer term.

Looks like the stock XF gallery in the vid. Their old one is offline now for the migration.

I was thinking the exact same thing!

At the start of the video the admin explains that additional features are coming. Maybe they are enhancing XFMG with a plugin. Otherwise members will voice their needs clearly.
