Poll: XenForo

[paradigm]

New is always better.

Just like when Windows Vista came out

 

[V_R]

Is there a dark theme?

Asking the important questions.

Hyped to see how it goes tomorrow, is there a time which we can expect it to go live?

Before midnight on 6th

Before midnight on 6th

Thanks ,another day to wait then!

 

[PapaLazaru]

Bring it on I say.

 

[Malevolence]

Is there a dark theme?

There'd better be. The standard OcUK blue gives me raging headaches.

 

[TheOtherOption]

See I actually quite like the blue theme as it's so much easier on the eye (for me) - especially later at night although yeah it does stand out among other general web browsing!

Looking forward to the new setup

 

[MagicBoy]

Full-on switch over on Monday or wide scale test?

 

[TNA]

Was wondering what happened with this. I thought it would be a new years thing, but better late than never I suppose. Looking forward to the change, all the extra features will come in handy

 

[sports_brah]

As long as I can change the background colour... I love the blue, but it's seriously noticeable...

As for like buttons....seriously?

 

[Dj_Jestar]

I like how we are talking about insignificant changes that can be added at any time, instead of actually launching the project.

Scope creep?

Appaeently Xenforo's like system is so baked in that you don't get the option later, you either start with it or without it and that's it. Seriously, as a Dev myself it makes me question the integrity of the entire thing.

 

[Redz]

Should have a pancake system. A like system is gayer than Elton John's cotton chintz duvet set.

Seriously?! That's insane. Agreed, does make me wonder about the whole thing. To not allow a simple enable disable on a feature like that is really strange

 

[Dj_Jestar]

Further reading and it's complete lols. The only way to remove likes is to ctrl+f through all the templates for "like" and/or "likes" - of which there are 50+ files (from a default install) that need to be edited. Someone has submitted an "add-on resource" (ffs, why do people name things so craply all the time?) that removes likes (submitted in 2013) but that was incomplete at the time he posted it, so no idea how bad it is now.

 

[G-MAN2004]

Oh god, like buttons... After seeing what people do for 'likes' on other forums/websites, I'd have to say I'm against it. It adds nothing of value.

 

[Malevolence]

Even if the like/dislike buttons are present and get abused, are people really that concerned about what other random people on the internet think? I know I'm not.

 

[Sin_Chase]

Likes serve no purpose. It's a circle-jerk feature and a spawn of Social Media to propagate posts/advertisements/anything else as far and wide as possible.

It has no place, purpose or need on a Forum.

 

[Tefal]

just ignore it then.

seriously if you dont care about it is a tiny 1-3 digit number that takes up all of a few square mm of space

 

[james.miller]

If people didn't care them they wouldn't have an opinion either way.

 

[Pixel]

I'd rather not have this feature.

I prefer posts to be judged by their own inherent merit, and not by how many people clicked a button on it.
