    Let's see... Seems I still have access to my modly powers in the off-topic part. Not seeing the moderation center however.

    Also, Home links back to forum here right now.

    Found something wonky in inbox. I select a box, select something to do with it, but then it acts on it at once instead of waiting for me to click go.

    Okay, so that site for that style you listed is kinda skeevy, or messed up. One or the other. It sends me to paypal but with a faulty SSL certificate.

    I'll find another dark theme somewhere.

    Hmm. I'll look into it. The permissions were rather wonky after the import. I had to set every forums to be for logged in people.

    Yeah, that's no big deal, just a text field in the options.

    Noticed that too. Guess it's just a bug in the current software.

    You can get it directly from the xenforo site too, which should be through the official board.

    First thing I notice is that sent PM's don't show up in the Convos, only received PMs. Also when selecting an action on a Convo topic it does it immediately rather than waiting for the 'go' button to be pushed(Imped on that)

    The "General" board is hidden to visitors, for some reason. I actually had to log off and back on to see if it was the case here as well, but it's not.

    What does the CPU/Ram/etc look at for the xenforo test board? Because the site feels slower on the test board.

    Yet no moderation center... Should still be on the top left, right? But I just see Home, Forums and Members.

    I would like to say I can edit my posts... but I cannot say for sure as mod powers got extended to posts outside of off-topic now.

    Edit: Oh, wait. I CAN see reported items. Not sure if more is supposed to be seen or if it's jsut that now, however.

    Well, it's obviously a little late seeing how the license has already been purchased, but I went ahead and sent that twenty dollars that I promised. Whether elgee uses that for the renewal when it comes up, a new skin for the forum or to help pay server costs is up to him. *shrugs*

    Yeah, it is a little slower. But that's okay. We always have the option to upgrade. We're barely above free hosts where we are.

    Okay, see if you have mod powers where you should and where you shouldn't.

    Threads I have set to "notify" are not properly transfered to "watched" on the XenForo test.

    Perhaps we could leave the old version up in a completely-locked state for a week or so after the "true" XenForo version?

    Yeah, I intend to leave it locked for a while while the server redirects to the xenforo installation. That does mean this forum won't be accessible.

    Okay, try now.

    Any chance of solving the sent PMs vanishing? I personally have few enough that I can manually save the content I have but I'm sure others have alot more that might be lost.

    Eh. SMF 2.1 would only have been a modest improvement over what we have now, in all likelihood. Xenforo will still be nicer. And that makes no mention of the post-interface either. Which is one of my biggest gripes with SMF.

    Non-breaking spaces aren't being converted properly, they're showing up as

    When browsing a forum the page listing doesn't always show up on hover-over (I'm using Chrome). Might be a problem with the skin? Or does it just not show them for things not replied to within the past day or so?

    I want to see if I can replicate it.

    Hell yes, the dark is gone. XF default is really good and I'll just keep using it like on SB.

    Does Xenforo even save drafts? I don't recall ever seeing that in the import list.

    Can I get screenshot of this?

    I just went into NSFW Quests and the page listing showed as I moused over every one. It may be an issue with Chrome.

    It's happening on this page. If you can't see it I'll screenshot it and check on other browsers. It looks like the nbsp tag has just been treated as text rather than being parsed.

    Not Drafts, the Senders half of the convo don't show up, only the received replies are there so you have half a convo. Seen by going to 'My Messages' and under the dropdown box for 'Messages' selecting 'Sent Items'.

    Might have something to do with the fact that you have to manually check a box to save the sent PM at all, which is one of the reasons I voted for xenoforo because that is just a bad way to do PMs.

    *edit*

    I am using Firefox and am seeing the problem too.

    Yeah Xenforo saves post drafts. But what's weird is its not doing it automatically like it should be. When I type on SB or whatever it autosaves the drafts. Whereas I have to manually hit 'save draft' in the post editor on the test site to make it do it. Also stuff like alerts and convo updates does not seem to be automatic. I seem to have to hold the mouse over them or refresh to check to see if I have new ones.
