XF 3 General Information & Discussion

[philmckrackon]

Since this thread has been closed, I believe an announcement is imminent.

I think the thread was closed because of the bickering and personal attacks so I would not hold my breath...

Since this thread has been closed, I believe an announcement is imminent.

I think it was closed because, although we all technically know how to behave in a forum, that doesn’t always happen

 

[FTL]

ppl, I tell you what should have happened:

• Troll Jake70 who started attacking me and making ridiculous assertions without evidence thread banned and possibly other sanctions too. My point about Apple security seems to have really triggered him, so stupid. Blame isn't equal here as people seem to think. Put it where it belongs.
• Thread left open for those of us who want to have a proper conversation allowed to do so before he came along and thread crapped it.

So simple to have dealt with him and discourage him from doing it again.

Umm... Let it go...

Umm... I was just responding to the comments from you and others on here. As far as I was concerned, the matter was closed until yourselves opened it again and blamed me for it too, instead of putting it all on the troll like it's supposed to be. How can you not see it?

I am not a part of - "until yourselves opened it"...

ok, kind of, but telling me to "let it go" isn't exactly supportive now, is it? You can see the evidence, put the blame where it belongs. Yeah, let's leave it here, I have no quarrel with you.

Xenforo is the only forum I have seen without a calendar.

I even looked at one forum which had the calendar as a choice.

The development had turned to dust unfortunately.

Add that to the list of things most would expect in the core software for 2025.

A calendar would be really handy, agreed.

I am no XF pom pom princess that shoughts yea for what is coming, but I'm genuinely frightened.
I know my site will be 100% broken if I update. Thankfully I can test but I fear for those that blindly update without testing...

Oh yes, take a backup and test on a local copy for sure. You don't need a disaster on the live site without a backup, omg.

I'm on XF Cloud nowadays, but have a self-hosted license too. I can take a backup of the forum, install it locally and test any potentially breaking changes in complete safety.

Another thing I can do is to close the forum, make a backup and then try the breaking change. Restore the forum if it goes to pot, without data loss.

So many users do not have the capability or understand why this a necessary thing.
Cuddos to you for being proactive.

Or maybe just closed because it became a bit toxic with personal insults throwing around.

Tbh I feel the same way. Our current install is heavily customized. With that said - I do see the required need for future marketing and updates to keep the brand alive +2025. I want to see new customers flooding this place like the good old days. Keeping the excitement alive. Only way to reach that newer crowd of admins, is to find a new avenue of communication and updates for XF3.0 imo.

Yes, keeping updated is inevitable. Taking the plunge is difficult...
