Xenforo Upgrade

[Scott Greczkowski]

Why don't you start removing the add-ins on Saturday until they're all gone? I think we can survive a day without them.

Because some of them are dependent on other ones... and removing one without removing the other may cause issues.

Plus if something is being uninstalled and something goes wrong with the uninstall (such as a database error) I can restore from the backup from when I close the site.

I have little problem guzzling that gross stuff. It’s the continual expulsion that gets to me.

I had mine last week. mix the MiraLAX with Green Gatorade. Went down easy! 8oz glass every 15 minutes for 2 hours.

Now back on topic...


Will the forum have a totally new look to it after the upgrade?

Yes. At first it will be the default Xenforo 2.x style.

 

[TheForce]

Yes. At first it will be the default Xenforo 2.x style.

Thanks for the warning.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Thanks for the warning.

Actually the 2.0 style is not too bad. It grows on you quick.

Agreed! It is pleasant. Way better than some other ones I have seen.

Now I am going through and printing out all our settings, such as Fonts and Font sizes... and I remember before that we had lots of complaints about the font and font size.

I know additional styles are not on the radar at the moment, but I really enjoy this compact classic style that I use now.

I'll be looking out for a Dark theme, but I understand it won't there be on Day 1.

I've been using Classic forever. It would take some getting used to for a different look. But if it isn't to be, I'll get used to something new.

No promises, but the old styles are retained, however need to be upgraded to work with 2.0. So hopefully I can bring classic back in a short period of time.

Hopefully Fresh Blue survives the process (he said, hoping that his obvious bias would not be noticed)

Going through the system I am able to check Theme Usage

Here is what I see...

System Default (SatelliteGuys 2016) 87.95%
SatelliteGuys Classic - 2.8%
Dark - 1.1%
SatelliteGuys 2016 - 3.8%
SatelliteGuys 2016 (No Sticky Navigation) 0.5%
Dark (No Sticky Navigation) 0.3%
Fresh Blue - 0.8%
Camo - 0.2%
SatelliteGuys 2017 - 2.5%

Power in numbers.

 

[dare2be]

Power in numbers.

Or, just power in laziness in not checking out the other options.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

 

[Bobby]

Or checking the other options and deciding on a particular one. Like I did with the last theme changes. I tried them all and decided that I liked Classic, mostly becuase it was what I was used to.

1. System Default (SatelliteGuys 2016) 87.95%
   
2. SatelliteGuys Classic - 2.8%
3. Dark - 1.1%
4. SatelliteGuys 2016 - 3.8%
5. SatelliteGuys 2016 (No Sticky Navigation) 0.5%
6. Dark (No Sticky Navigation) 0.3%
7. Fresh Blue - 0.8%
8. Camo - 0.2%
9. SatelliteGuys 2017 - 2.5%

What's the difference between 1 and 4?

 

[DWS44]

Surprised that Dark is that low.
