It’s 2018 and Xenforo’s default layout hasn’t kept up with how users consume content.
We’re still listing a massive bunch of text only content as a front page as a stock install. Users no longer have time or ability to process this block of heavy text content. Instead, users are used to image heavy content, bytesize, clickable if needed to deep dive into what perks their interest.
Think Instagram. SnapChap, YouTube, News, Magazines, Facebook, etc etc.
Compare that to a stack of forums, threads and lists. It’s just not how we consume content anymore.
I strongly believe that an official CMS is needed for Xenforo to be relevant in 2018 onwards. I know there are 3rd party solutions, but they are not brilliant and require additional work. I know that you can custom make a Portal, but why force users to do through this labour intensive process?
Xenforo staff - please provide a polished CMS. We want to support you. We love you. But its 2018.
Peace,
Rob.
