Is it sad if I use Google to search XenForo.com?
"site:xenforo.com [search phrase]" - just seems to work better. But a better search option is coming.

Pages are fine if you ONLY want the admin to manage them, and that admin is so fast in writing text via html that they don't notice it.
1. There are plenty of admins who don't do html. For most other admin tasks they don't need it in XF so why are Pages restricted to it?
2. There are admins like me who do do html but why on earth should I? It slows me down a lot and I don't want to write thousands of words in html. I want my writing to be a pleasure not a draggy duty.
Especially as it's not necessary it's extremely frustrating -- Kier said long ago in the first few weeks of XF that it would not be difficult to add an editor to Pages
3. So I put up with the drag of plodding through html to produce articles. Thousands of them!
Then I am lumbered with all the many small updates and edits too as none of my mods do html. Nor do I want the security headache of them using the ACP.
I appojnt mods to moderate - that is, exercise SOCIAL skills with users, not code.
4. Again, an editor on Pages is apparently no big deal.
So for those that want it why can't it be done? We've been asking since XF started.
As always if this is unnecessary to you then it's also irrelevant for you to discuss it. If the editor was in place you can just itgnore it just as you do the html option on a forum post.

That's true from my experience.

Ability to change thread owner is a must, it allowed admins to assign threads like "Useful threads in this forum" to another user when the original owner lost interest in maintaining the list. I tried to setup "new owner" as moderator but they tend to go spam hunting after become one.

Because it is possible since 1.0? Click on Edit in Forumview.

Ah! It's not in Forum View. It's in thread view. In thread view, it's under the Thread Tools menu as Edit Thread. Not the most obvious thing, but thanks.

If you are a moderator, you see those links when viewing a forum. You said you found Thread Tools, so you should also see the edit link at the forum view... I guess

Simply including other payment options rather than just Paypal would be a nice start. I would like to see Authorize.net, ClickBank, 2Checkout, and others and at least have a choice instead of being stuck with Paypal's draconian policies.

That pretty sums of the state of things. You gotta eat your own "dogfood", as IBP says LOL. (They actually used to say that on their content plugin sales page, "we even eat our own dogfood." It was so ridiculous it stuck in my mind).

It would be nice to see some examples of various pages and how people are using them and maybe show off some of the advanced functionality that can be accomplished. Maybe that would sway people's opinion and make them use pages more.
