1) is using the default style (they didn't select a style)
4) is people who selected to use that style.
I chose classic because it was the most compact and most efficient use of screen real estate, not like many of the current trend of web pages that have oversized, flat, buttons, links and elements, like a child's tablet.
OK, so by my calculation, SG 2016 accounts for 91.75% of your clients whether laziness or that specific selection was made. Will the new XenForo default style be anything like the old default SG 2016?
Here is what the default 2.0 looks like.

Again its just to get us cut over... and back online. Then the real work begins.
(But don't expect it to be dont expect it to be all done in one day.)
I am actually going to go to my office at work and do the upgrade, this way I can focus on the upgrade, and don't have to take the dogs out every 10 minutes, go put laundry in the washer, take out the trash and whatever my wife can find for me to do. Lol.

I use the 2016 No Sticky Nav but I just tried the regular 2016 and I don't see the Sticky Nav so I'd be very happy with the 2016 theme.
It's still sticky for me on most versions of FF. My FF at work (computer managed by shared services) lets it float up, though.
Camo is much better than dark and its even lower. (I must be the .2%)Surprised that Dark is that low.
I made this reply yesterday but it looks like I forgot to post.
I'm already getting anxious about downtime tomorrow. My addiction must be fed!!!

Using the latest version of Firefox here, 70.0.1. Happily no sticky.
Same here.I'm already getting anxious about downtime tomorrow. My addiction must be fed!!!
Ok I am up and taking a shower before heading out to my office in Hartford to get this done.
Once I get there I will...
1) turn the system off.
2) Do a full rsync of all the files
3) Dump the database to a backup
4) Copy and restore the database to the backup server.
5) Restore the database to the backup server and insure the system is running on the backup server, this way if something goes wrong we can copy everything back over here to the main server and get back online. (In addition having a backup running allows me to see all settings colors and everything else that was on the old system, so I can try replicating it on the 2.1 system)
6) Remove all the Plugins from the 1.5 system running here, as even thought the plugins will be turned off with the new software, it won't let you uninstall the old plugins, which means lots of junk sitting in the database. So might as well clean them out now then have them taking up database space forever.
7) Upgrade the software to 2.1
8) Setup the temporary 2.1 Theme with the SatelliteGuys logo.
9) Reopen the site to everyone
10) Start installing the important add-on's such as Tapatalk (who I am mad at again...), Elastic Search, and others.
11) Head back for home
12) Continue installing other add-ons. (again there is no Multiview for Xenforo 2.1)
13) Start working on converting some of our old themes to 2.1
14) Go to bed.
Forgot bathroom breaks and meals in between all of that.
Its going to be a busy day so time for me to hop into the shower.
Thank you again to everyone for your support!

Good luck with the upgrade today!
