XF 1.1 XenForo Newbie

[zenhyi]

I've just purchased my XenForo License today and I am very excited. I've finally made a decision after 3 days of research (approximately 8 hours a day), mostly on demos.

Firstly, is there anything I should know about XenForo in general?

What plug-ins do you recommended or is a "must-have"?

Are there any template guidelines, to make it easier to locate which templates are for which part of the Forum.

I appreciate your support.

And keeping @Brogan on speed dial.

Thank you Brogan.

Also this is probably a bad question - Will I be able to upgrade my forum from 1.15 to 1.2 without any issues in the future when a stable 1.2 XF is released?

You may have to upgrade add ons and styles due to compatibility, but otherwise you should be fine.
