Why did we switch to XenoForo again? It's such a piece of crap. vB is superior in every way. :|
XenoForo is the syphilis of the forum world. :|
No, nothing like that has happened - there's been a forum-wide problem with the hosting company, it appears, and everything from about last saturday to this morning has been lost. Hopefully it can be recovered but Steve has been trying to sort this out for the last 7 hours or so...
I quite like it but hey syphilis comes from a usually enjoyable experience at the time so take the rough with the smooth.
Sharon also mentioned it here:
So not 'syphilis' fault.
That doesn't change the fact that this deadly disease is easily curable by an awesome piece of software known as vB. vB is way more versatile than XF anyway.
Same thing happened numerous times when we used vB too so that wasnt safe from it either.
^ There ya go Tyloric.
I do vaguely remember being upset at this sort of thing happening before.
I think because most everyone is familiar with vB, a lot of people will prefer it over others that are easier to use, prettier and have more functionality. That said, vB will definitely be preferred over something harder to use, not as pretty and has less functionality. I do like XenForo and I understand that there was a lot of considerations that went into making this change, but even with the way things were going, I still miss vB. But then I miss the first theme we had too, so... maybe I'm just being sentimental.
Ahh, that explains it, I thought I was in the wrong place. :lol:Yeah, something no one seems to know anything about occurred earlier and resulted in the possibly permanent loss of a bunch of posts/threads/conversations/wall posts. Steve is currently discussing things with his host to see if anything can be done to get them back - it's an absolute pain in the backside though. Sorry to everyone for the inconvenience![]()
