Hey Guys,
Oh so don't go all nasty on me for my opinion and experience
You all know by now that a really like Xenforo but my love affair is wearing down.
I'm really frustrated with all the things that should be basic with any forum.
Moving threads, mod system in general, permissions...
Smilies (Just about everything)
Have to hunt for a hour to find the correct setting to change a small piece of design
and most of all the dang file system. I'm sorry but uploading mods with XF is a friggen nightmare. One coder says, "Upload to root"... well that's not entirely correct... another coder says something different. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out where to put files using FTP but half they time it isn't correct. And a huge thank you to coders. You have my respect completely.
And one really has to know a good amount of CSS and HTML to use XF.
So tell me what I can do to make it easier for me without having to become a coder? I don't want to get into another VB deal where I have to shell out and arm and a leg for tech support.
Should I sell and go to MyBB? I had planned on giving this forum to my family as I'm not well but I'm not too sure they can manage it with all the above still needed.
And a huge thank you to those who have helped me. Jake you are amazing!!!
