What would be a showstopper for you during purchase, if you could get a copy -right now-, in regards to add-ons? Compared to other BBS solutions or what you are using right now?
Perhaps 'require' isn't the correct word for me to use. 'Desperately Hope for' is more like it.
A smiley system much like *choke* vB's *recover*, where you can categorize your smilies, then adjust in what order they will appear in that category.
Also adjust what order the categories will appear.
In case no one has noticed, I'm a smiley addict. I love my smiles, have hundreds of them. I like to use them all, and like them categorized and ordered.
That way if I want an irritated smiley, I can go to the correct category to get it, rather than having to scroll through hundreds of smilies to find it, and probably miss it the first 2-3 times.
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAASE!!!

Good question, Floris.
I am unable to purchase this (yet), as it doesn't come with:
- Integrated Blogs.
- Integrated CMS.
This was the reason for me to buy vB4 in the presale (in the hope that we would get a great CMS and improved Blogs and Forums, but we all know how that turned out). I seriously need those two additions. I mean, vb3.8 already had Blogs, so for me (and from a bussiness point of view for Kier&Mike I would think) it would be natural that XenForo will offer Blogs in the future (and an importer to make the transistion from vBulletin 3 or 4 easy). However, the integrated Blogs are more important then the CMS for me at this point in time.
Further, I have been suggesting an Instant Messenger/Chat (like Facebook) for so long to vBulletin. In my view this is a KEY element in being able to offer a true social platform where people want to come back to/be involved in. Attracting visitors and let them come back is a big priority for our platform, obviously.
The lack of a chatbox would be a showstopper for me.
Like this one here: http://www.cliptheapex.com/chat.php
We use it extensively during F1 qualifying and race sessions.
I wonder which communities have so much content that is only available as images?
Why not have a custom database cms where you can store
- field 1
- field 2
- field 3
and where field 1 can be set from you - the admin - as uploaded picture, field 2 is the rating from 1 - 10 and field 3 is the optional comment. That's it. A gallery? A database.
I do not know exactly what you mean, so you are right I think. My idea is this:I don't think a "Twitter" type app' is the same, unless you have a different idea to me.
I mean a chatbox which all members are logged in to when they're logged in to the forum which supports BBCode, quoting, etc. and the normal forum moderators can delete messages from
Essentially like a "live" forum.
If that's not available then I guess something like http://www.coveritlive.com/ would have to do.
That's why I said picture/media/file galleries . The big thing is that it be centralized, searchable and that members are able to sort (albums or whatever you want to call your containers) their uploads and reuse them. Uploading files as attachments is a nearly criminal waste of content. Not to mention bandwidth and storage, esp when members upload the same file repeatedly! I'm TOTALLY onboard with making it a multi-purpose database. I always prefer multi-purpose system to specific case specialists. The big thing is it needs to be well integrated, not an afterthought.
Sorry Marcus but I have no idea what you mean.
I just want a chatbox which is integrated to the forum, nothing to do with Twitter.
