So, the move to XF is almost complete! Though... We lost a couple features along the way. Having said that, the forum transition was very much a net positive. And some of those features, we can get back. If... We wanna start paying for them. Or should I say, if I wanna start paying for it.
So first, these are most of the features we gained:
- Responsive design
- Full theme editing tools
- Media Gallery Hook-in
- Resource Manager Hook-in
- Greatly enhanced searching
- Profile comments
- Even greater BBCode control
- Much better "Alert" system for threads and etc.
- Badges
- Banners
- Quoting control
- Group PMs
- Wording template system
- Overall better software stability
- Overall better add-on quality
- Continuous updates
- Professional support
We also gained, with the VPS upgrade:
- 80 GBs of storage to do whatever we want with
- 8 TBs of traffic, up from the 100 GB limit we had
- Dedicated 4 cores of CPU power
- 4 GBs of RAM
- Full server editing through the SSH command line
- Access to both PHP 5.6 and 7.0 (which consequentially gives us the ability to host the first version of Sanctuary for everyone to see now finally.)
This is what we lost:
-Chatbox
- Per-user sub-forum ignoring (Kind of. Staff can now instead control which threads show up in the Recent Topics block.)
-HTTPS
- Dice roller (We could get this back, but again, I'd have to pay for it, and I don't wanna do that unless it's actually gonna be used.)
