AVForums and Digital Point moving to XenForo

[twhiting9275]

It's good to see XF getting some love from the bigger forums out there. More publicity is always, always a good thing

That's an impressive list of custom addons. Are you going to be releasing more of them?

 

[Marcus]

I'd pay for Virtual Forums although I have achieved mostly with a simple jquery on forum_list

Very interesting list...What is Best Answer?

See the first part of the post you quoted.

Yep... although you might have some issues if the virtual forums are at different levels. But yeah... whatever works in the end.

Very interesting list...What is Best Answer?

It allows the thread starter (or mods/admins) to select a post within a thread as "the best answer". A link to that post is given in the first post. It's basically the XenForo version of our existing functionality: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2251302

wow Shawn, don't know where you even find the time to do all that coding

 

[lazer]

Best answer mod? Yes please Shawn

 

[Donny]

So DP did, but AVForums didn't. Any news on that then?

It is a matter of "when" not if

 

[Donny]

Cant wait then.

I think Stuart was waiting for the end of the lawsuit and is now making progress, testing migration, etc.

Obviously with larger forums there's a lot to consider and test before moving over, but Stuart's most recent posts seem to indicate he's committed to moving to XF now.

Cheers,
Shaun

I'm just waiting on some bits from Stuart to hopefully start a test import in the next few days.

The difference between Shawn at Digital Point and me is that he is a coding guru whereas I'm 'past it'.
So he could get on and apply all the functionality to Xenforo confident that even if the lawsuit went the wrong way, he could develop Digital Point how he wanted on the core Xenforo platform.
In contrast, I need to know that the forum platform we use is supported and will develop. And I need a coder to write the functionality we need.

By the way, needing a forum platform which will be supported and developed is the reason why I have to move away from vBulletin.
