That is very cool, I am quite curious to see how smooth that convert will go, we've streamlined our process quite a bit already.
As you say it will be interesting, I think it will be awhile yet, because whilst the owner wants to convert as soon as possible some of the mods and I believe the techie too wants to hold off until xF is officially stable.
Also there’s a couple of mods or extra features they need, in particular a calendar (although I am dropping them a PM about the XenAtendo events mod as I reckon that would do the job for them) and ‘ignore user’, which is important on that site because it can get very heated in the politics forums.
There’s almost a lot of objection from members about the possible introduction of avatars, so they are making a theme without them and there’s a discussion as to if avatars should be enabled in the default theme or not or not even available at all – this last option has over 50% of votes on a thread running to over 1300 posts!!!! :eek:
They had such a hard time, both technically and with users moaning, after upgrading from vB3 to vB4 a few months ago that they want to make sure it goes as smooth as possible when they convert to xF.
