ANNOUNCEMENT: Forum software change coming - XenForo

I can test if needed
 
I’ve tried to donate. I haven’t used PayPal in years, I went back into to it and can’t get it to work. I’ll either mail you a check or whatever else you can suggest.
 
Thanks folks! This is exactly why I love this place.

Matt and I have talked more and I think we will have the plan with a timeline very soon, working with our software consultant to figure out the details. My hope is that we can do the "staging server" version based on the forum data up to a given day while this live forum stays up. Then we can test and tweak on the staging server without shutting this one down.

Once we're happy, we will re-import the data from the days in between and be ready to push it live. There will be some downtime on the actual switchover, but hopefully this will minimize it and I can use this thread to keep people up to date until we have to shut it down for the actual switchover.

I will let everyone know when it's 100% locked in.
 
Thanks Eric. I am looking forward to the updates. Your hard work and dedication is obviously appreciated by many of us.
 
Late to this party, but happy to support the upgrade.
 
Finally got enough time in front of the computer to read the whole thing, made the donation this morning. Thanks BW for keeping this forum so nice and clean AND for everything else you do in the CJ 8 community.
 
Donation done.Thanks for keeping this forum alive with new software. Thank you Eric
 
Thanks so much folks! :cheers:

I spent a good while last night while watching the US Women win gold over Canada playing with the back end of a generic test installation (very cool how XenForo gives you a test setup with just a couple clicks).

I was able to make it look pretty similar to the "Slate Blue" theme we use here pretty easily once I got a feel for it and all my image test posts worked. I didn't have enough time to get into setting up usergroups and the related preferences (there's a LOT of them and those go through the import process anyway) but it seems like we should be awfully close to the permissions we have set up now.

Sent over some final questions based on my playing with stuff last night and waiting on the final schedule :thumbsup:

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 use LastPass for this. Very handy. Due to my job, credit cards, etc. I have around 200 passwords!!! Works great.
 
In for the donation and testing. As I said on FaceBook, let me know if you need any help on the backend. I know a lot more about data protection, disaster recovery, and storage management than I do about Jeeps :)
 
Donated. Better late than never, right?
 
You're not late at all, thanks!

Software guy is looking through the conversion process with what we have implemented on the forum and will let us know on schedule soon.
