New forum software? I'm feeling anxious, nervous, fretting

What was wrong with vB again? Did they stop developing it?

vBulletin 3 was very old and not being developed except for bugfixes. They're up to vBulletin 5 now, but supposedly it's worse than this XenForo.
 
I think this software will be fine once it's tweaked out. Appearance stuff is just a matter of making it right. Functionally, everything seems to work fine.

And I can't figure out how the hell to quote someone.

Hit [Reply] under the post you want to quote. Use ["+Quote] for multiquote. Presumably anyway. Haven't multiquoted anyone to try it out.

Or highlight someone's text, and hit the Reply or + Quote that appears under your highlight.

P.S. This is my first multi-quote on this software. 🙂
 
i remember a long time ago, I could actually see multiple threads without maximizing my window....oh wait, that was just last week.

That's gotta be a bug. If you make the window a little narrower the right sidebar should go away and that helps.

TIL: At a certain point it does resize and the right sidebar goes away; 1px away from that and you're fucked.

It appears we can't edit our posts, nor change the colors, or change out how many posts per page.. but hey, we finally got a 'like' button. I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for this place to be more like Facebook. Now we can use the same system to determine our self worth by how many likes we get per post. 🙄🙄

So basically, they turned AT forums into Windows 10? 😛
 
So........ the cropping of the avatars looks like ass. OH well. Moving on now.

And 5 minutes later I'm back to say:

WHY THE FUCK IS EVERYTHING SO WHITE. Jesus christ. Who thought this was a good motif? Even the fricken dividing lines are nearly white.

I don't want to sound mean, but guys, this looks like a page that is yet to load. The white is horrible. 🙁
But I'm sure we'll get used to it.
 
Haven't worried about modding the interface myself, it didn't seem worth the trouble really on roll out.

I imagine there will be other options than white in the near future.

Or I'd just look myself, not like I haven't modified my GUI's in the past in games etc.

I might have to anyway if hanging out, I almost never get headaches and the interface is blasting my eyes badly.

Am about on the verge of one.

https://xenforo.com/community/resources/th-login-as-user.1131/

Administrators (or other trusted members) who have been granted the 'Login as different user' permission can click on a link on a user's member card to log in as that user. The admin can then see exactly what the user can see, for example to see what difficulty they are having in performing a task such as uploading a file and, if necessary, complete that task on behalf of the user.

A link in the admin bar will allow them to quickly return to their own account at any time.

To log in as a different user, that user must be a member of one of the permitted user groups.

We recommend that this permission should only be granted to known, trusted and responsible admins or other such members.
