Please don't be responsive! Please don't be responsive... Please don't be responsive.

People now have 5" screens, you can fit more than 12 words on a page!

It is responsive going by their demo page but 5UB says desktop is available on mobile so my fingers are crossed.

Going for the 90's retro look to match the main website I see.

I'll be re-doing all the stylish themes I've made for this one if by some miracle I manage to get my pc fixed :l

Looks great guys. Earlier this year I moved my own forums from VB4 to XF, although nothing like the size of this forum (just over 1.1m posts), it was a very easy transaction, and all of the mods used with VB were easily replaced with much better ones. After a brief adjustment period, all my users seem very happy with the forums. Mobile view is brilliant, giving all the functionality of the desktop page in a condensed, easy to use page.

I also found since swtiching, my bandwidth use has dropped by around two thirds! And I have as many active members as ever. The forums are always very quick even on a shared server. XF2 is around the corner and looking good too.

Wh.... What about our post counts?

Only those users with names beginning with a W will be wiped. It's the law, I'm afraid.

I'm a bit slow on the uptake here, but my god, a forum update? I never thought I'd see the day.

When is it coming?

Will all the posts be exported over to the new software? Interesting...

Well done it's a big decision considering the current one is already working well. I guess it will support an iPad/iPhone/android app too? I hope so!

Version 2 supports native responsive theme OOTB.

XenForo is vBulletin, guys. The creators/forkers of XenForo got tired waiting for vB updates. They are very much compatible.

I for one welcome our new xf overlords.

andy_mk3 · 4 Dec 2016 at 16:10

One of the best features IMO is notification of being quoted. Something so small but real handy

What about the little elves?

Akagi · 4 Dec 2016 at 18:03

We need a new Christmas Pud, the current one must be 15 - 20 years old.

Change the forum software and the Xmas pud in quick succession?
Some members would implode from anxiety with so much happening.
