It's not his live site--it's his test installation of XenForo with the data from the vB site sent over, so that's not unexpected.

oh, just seemed odd! When is it going live?

 

[Slavik]

When 1.1 is out and the big board solution is released.

What's the big board solution?

What's the big board solution?

As I understand it, XF are developing a search application - similar to Sphinx - that will allow for much faster search results than just using the built-in fulltext MySQL search (which can slow down once you've got a million or more posts).

A tool for larger boards that have that specialist demand ...

Cheers,

I love this design!

For me, having a high res 2560x1440, looked great...I sit back like 3 feet from my screen so I enlarged the text...worked perfectly!

Love the rounded corners...looking good!

Well, after deliberations and testing for several months, the P8ntballer Forums are soon switching over to xenforo.

As such, we have finally released our test site publicly to receive feedback on the design, and as well as our members, we would love any feedback from others not affiliated with the site to get their opinions, so if you were visiting the site for the first time, is it a design that would put you off, or make you want to stay?

All comments welcomed, no matter how small, good or negative. We want to build the best skin for our members, so all feedback is useful to us.

Check it out.

Really nice site. I do have a question on the ad placement in the "site sponsor" area. Did you get this done with an existing template, or did you make your own?

Custom made template

Custom made template

You ad set up is exactly what I am looking for. Did you customize an existing template, or have it contracted out?

Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks

The button ads and top banner are the default templates.

The skyscraper ads are custom templates and are quite tricky to implement site wide.

I had the weirdest dream last night where I logged onto P8ntballer and this was live (although pretty different and weird as things are in dreams), yet it was ace, and I was far too excited.

I need to get out more....

Dont know if this has been commented on yet so apologies if that's the case.

You got your style from XenFocus? Anyway when viewing your forum logged out on Android the big SignUp button is mirrored vertically. There's a quick fix on the XenFocus website.

Well, this good, but need some details:

1) The style that's cool, but you have to change some things, little touches

2) A slidshow the main screen would be nice

3) Shooting games and pb would be legal to download

4) Use the login system for twitter and facebook, many members they bring to your community!

5) Congratulations for the work!
