Administrators Andrew Reid Posted September 18, 2017 Administrators Share Posted September 18, 2017 The forum software upgraded from 4.1 to 4.2 and completely changed the theme unexpectedly. In fact I'm so annoyed at Invision about this that I may migrate the community to XenForo from the current ip Board software entirely. Any thoughts on alternative forum systems? Any other forums out there you enjoy using, with a clear and modern design but lots of features? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpais Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 @Andrew Reid ha, I thought it looked nice and clean, but I'm no web designer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samin Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Moving to XenForo is good move. For one local forum my friend and I had also transition during years from vBulletin -> IP Board -> XenForo and we couldn't be happier with XenForo! so far so good.

tweak Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 New forum looks horrible imo. Much prefer the old style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted September 18, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted September 18, 2017 I've cleaned up the theme and it looks much better now. Let's see how it goes. Moving to new forum software is a massive job so I'll put it off for now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Pierre Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I would just stay with this....it takes a couple of days to get used to, and then it just becomes the norm....curiously though, it signed me out and I had to request/submit a new password.

Bizz Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Its not that bad. I prefer the other theme (probably because i was used to it) but this one is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Pierre Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I'm also noticing that every time I visit the site, it requires me to sign in again?....And yes, I already have the remember me box ticked off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no_connection Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I find is a little hard on the eyes, so much white everywhere. Maybe bring the intensity of the background down a tiny bit? EthanAlexander 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthanAlexander Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Oh man, so much better with the grey background! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted September 18, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted September 18, 2017 Yeah I'm dialing down the insane amount of white. Why is it nobody can design things anymore... UPDATE: Getting there now... made some more tweaks and I'm starting to like things more. jonpais and no_connection 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 So now that you can "react" instead of just "like".. does a "confused" reaction, for example, still contribute to the reputation points of the member who made the post? Just curious; seems like it probably shouldn't work that way. Juxx989 and jonpais 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpais Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 @Liam I just tested it out on you, it has no effect on your reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't work for me. I'm arguing with the developer of the forum software as we speak... Juxx989 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
