Who is the lost soul who is 'Not Feelin' It'?!

Obviously you haven't read the thread

Obviously you haven't read the thread

I did now, reading your reply. And I still have no clue who it is...

 

[Floris]

Hm, read the thread again and the post by someone saying "I will just vote that so I am the exception to the statistics" seems to be gone .. maybe I am confusing 2 polls that are alike. Sorry bout that

 

[Grover]

Sorry bout that

Yes, you made me read these whole 9 pages! What kind of punishment would you like? :

• Buy vBulletin 4
• Buy vBulletin 5
• Buy me a XenForo 1 license

Create a vb4 skin for an Arabic forum?

Best thing since sliced bread.

Now that I think about it I can live without sliced bread.

I will punish myself by ignoring your wonderful posts, which I will then have to miss

I like it's new, has some nice ideas like the popup profil thing, the seo urls are nice. But if browsing the forum for longer time it's maybe a bit too cartoonish, avatars too big and the font style is not in my taste. The reply (quote) buttons are to small and the arrow is a nice idea but not intuitive if I don't know it I would never click it.
But sure for an alpha it has a great potential.

Ok, after some more time spent here I would say, for a new basic forum xenforo is a great solution, if you can advance it feature-wise and addon-wise near to the level vb is now it could me bring to switching.

Since it's just an alpha, bugs are to be expected.

The lack of bugs is what is surprising................

Very nice job.

yup so far so good did a local server test install on apache 2.2.16, php 5.3.3 with mysqlnd native driver, percona mysql 5.1.50 rel 11.4

my only trouble is: I do need a proper Forum-software NOW.
So should I go ahead and buy VB 4 now and later on import into XenForo ?

Unfortunately I can not wait a couple months anymore. I would actually like to use Xenforo NOW, even if there are still bugs in it.

I want to start a new Forum and have no experience with VB, but read many negative posts about it.

So what would you suggest me to do ?
Appreciate your kind advice.

Many thanks !

I'd go ahead with xenforo, afterall kier and folks are using it in live production environment for a site that is commercial in nature where $$$ are of concern. If it's good enough for them, any startup forum should be fine.

I voted - Excellent! due to the following features.

1. Generation (page loads).
2. Interface.
3. Built in SEO.
4. Enhanced Attachment Uploader.
5. Price

I voted "Great". It's great, but it's not finished.

I'm missing a few "must-have" features of vBulletin, for example... Also a CMS would be cool

 

[Mike Gaidin]

I really like what I see so far. Would have been nice to have XenForo BEFORE I wasted my money on vb4. Great job Kier and crew!

I'm 1 of the 3 people whom voted that they are not feeling it.

I don't have a sense of a vision for the product that expands to the scope I feel the vision for a great product would require. But that's just me. Making great forum software is a great goal. Making great community software is a much better goal.
