Hello there guys, hello Jaxel!
I'm building a community for professional of my sector but they're kind of Facebook addicted users, meaning that they use their mobile phones a lot while reading and posting within Facebook groups for this kind of things also.
I love the way forums are organized since early 2000 maybe, but I have different mind unlike my colleagues.... moving them all to a forum style community would lead to a total loose of interest and probably the community interaction would go down to almost nothing.
So I've been looking around for a XF template to make my forum look more like a small custom social network, so my users won't be confused as I'll try to make it look the more "familiar" as possible for their low skills.
Today I saw your XenPorta and let me say that I found it so awesome, man!! Really loved it!!!
But beside I would have gone straight through the purchase process, I still have some doubt about if it could be the template that can do for me... For example, is it possible to let the "format thread as article" feature being forced by default and invisible to normal users while still be markable by admins only?
Do you think XenPorta could suit my particular needs or not?
(Consider that I'm already running a blog that I will keep separate while I will probably promote blog articles within the community itself. So I don't really need an "article feature" except for making my community threads look a bit more like a Facebook post with comments...)
Thanks a lot, hope my script here was clear enough so you don't have to waste time trying to understand
Cheers,
Marco
