Thanks folks! Greatly appreciate all the help considering we are looking at more than my Postal cost me to buy for the conversion :eek:

I’ve been a member of NC4X4 longer than I have on here. You are correct - the new platform is so much more user friendly. Glad to help out. $10 is a drop in the bucket for the ease of use going forward

Yeah, I was on there all the time I was in NC, great people. If anyone wants to see what we will be looking like, check out NC4x4, it’s going to be very very close to that. Simple and clean and I even like their color scheme. Planning on modeling it off of that. The functions should be pretty much identical too.

You 2 are killing me. I was going to keep it quiet but I too ponied up $10 for the cause. I like to think I'm the snowflake that caused the avalanche that's getting this done!
Seriously though, it's the iPhone and not me.

Oh, it's definitely the phone, it's been getting me time after time.

This has been part of the plan for a while (it's no secret that vBulletin is dying, especially when version 5 was such a dud) but XenForo wasn't where we wanted it until the 2.0 version came out of beta testing recently. It made more sense to wait and just move once that was in place.
 
Donation made.

Willing to beta test if needed.
(Not sure how much a member with only 1000+ post in ~16 years can help, but figured I'd throw it out there.) :thumbsup:

Anyone can help! We'll just want folks to try to look at old threads, play with polls and other features, post photos, videos, etc. and basically try to find anything that's broken or not working. It should be lots of fun (especially since nothing that we do during testing will be pushed live when the new site is launched!!)
 
Not an official member no more but $10 (£7.14 to me!) is yours in appreciation of the work and time that will have to go in to making this work, rather you than me!!!

Very nice site design, but one thing I'd try to change off-the-bat. Repeating the entire article at the start of every page of comments... Just makes for a lot of unnecessary download and scrolling IMHO.
 
Going to do this but having problems with pay pal, actually not a pal to me. Asking for my e-mail and I have 3 so not sure which. Once I figure that I might be able to do this. :(. :headbang:
 
Thanks folks!!! More than anything I’m glad that folks are positive on the general idea.

That sounds like something that would/should be an option, I agree.
 
Just please don't let it get screwed up like JeepForum.com. I was a member there before here. Had so much bs with passwords that I finally said the he** with them. For me this site was the best for phone, posting and being able to read and follow without living on the site.:bow:
 
The company that bought JeepForum (along with hundreds of other automotive websites, including Pirate4x4) has tried multiple times to try to buy CJ-8.com (other companies have as well).

They buy forums up and then turn them into clones per their “formula” that wrecks the forum, screws the users and plasters ads everywhere. They’re very well known for it in the forum community, but they offer stupid amounts of money that forum owners can’t turn down. They assume that they’ll just replace the users who quit the forum with others or with ad dollars because the draw for the content they now control is so strong.

We despise them and what they do and have turned them down every single time. We won’t let that happen to the community we have worked so hard to build over these 16 years.

I was also a member of JeepForum.com and it's been an act of Congress trying to figure out what my password is/was. I finally gave up'and I have not been back to that site since.

The company that bought them got hacked and they forced password changes on everyone. They're too big and too easy a target now.
 
Problem was I had to do 3 different passwords. Did the new one a month later had to do another. Then later a third. Worse part is all the characters they required. I'm only human, can't remember all the passwords, then new ones.:banghead:
 
I found some change in the console for you too... thanks for all that you do for the forum. I'm looking forward to the upgrade. I'm happy to spend hours browsing the new forum reading about Scramblers as a beta tester as well. Y'all can thank me later for my sacrifice. :-D
