Forum revamp coming soon!

[Brett C]

You looking forward to this?

It was the logical forum choice after our current forums.

I quite enjoy XenForo in general.

Actually, i seem to recall you once telling Brett you were in favour of a forum revamp, so its definitely your fault.

 

[Factabulous]

That would be correct, you will be able to login to the Forums with your FrontierStore.net account.

As for secondary accounts... well, the mods won't be too pleased to see that.

Which of my many store accounts should I use? Asking for an alt

Ohhh I never did!!!

Nooooo not me.....

Was I drunk at the time?

So, how are you going to decide which of my accounts will be my "primary" forum account?

Rushes off to start designing a set of avatars for other accounts.

Oh, and btw - how many of those "Forum Update" threads are there? I've found two so far; would it be time to report Will to the Mods to shut down one of them (or all but one?) as duplicate threads?

Are you never not drunk?

Only one question, well possibly two depending on the answer to the first one but I digress as per usual... Is that Tj in the window and if so where's my gun?

One change I would make is have sections to the Off topic area or it's just going to end us as a free for all mess and make it unmanageable for people browsing it.

 

[OldSchoolPlayer]

What's going to happen to our reputation statuses?

 

[iFred]

You will be able to see reported bugs, these won't be hidden from view.

We'll be posting more details about the new system in the future.

Thanks for info Will.

Are you putting BGS, PP, CqC and Poweplay in the archive section ?

 

[Patrick_68000]

Thanks for the info, Will.

And with the hope that the transition will go smoothly.

Otherwise it will probably be the fault of TJ.

This.
Also, merging Hardware and Astronomy sections to General Off Topic (if not as separate sub-forums) will cause lots of useful info get lost.

Thanks for the heads-up Will.

I’d really like to see some improvement to the search functionality. For myself, it’s currently frustrating that when searching for multi-word phrases, the search function searches for each word as opposed to the phrase. Even when wrapping the phrase in quotes.

With XenForo, the search engine on XenForo uses ElasticSearch. It's fairly nice from the internal testing we've done.

Some of those forums will be merged together. Some will be removed.

While you there, could you check why BGS tick is broken please.
