That doesn't preclude giving regular updates on what progress is or is not being made.AFAIK its all on Xon time™
So hopefully before SB and SV need to update to XF3 but frankly what can one expect from a ARM Commander(referring to his avatar picture)
"No further progress since last update" still counts as an update. If we got an update every two months or something, even if that update was "nothing to report", I would be a lot less annoyed about the seeming double-speak about the upgrade progress.
Hey, not screwing it up is as important as getting it done. Push it back a week or two if you need to, just give us an update on like the last weekend of January or the first weekend of February or something.
We're running on software that hasn't been updated in about 4 years. Forgive me if I'd rather we update before some script kiddie uses a known security flaw to wipe the entire site 'for teh lulz'.
"For teh moralz" would probably be more likely, either over porn generally or specifically the lolis getting lewded.
There was a vulnerability Xon had disclosed to XF devs for the version we're on, but Xon had done a manual mitigation for it, so we're clear on that front.
Some of the bigger ones:
I had the meaningful issue of XF2 update completely bricking SV for me for a couple months while Xon was working out the kinks; loading any page took five minutes and making replies was a hopeless endeavor. Since I couldn't use the forum to forum, I went there less and less and now my SV account is abandoned. Not out of malice or anything, but out of habit by now. So yes, upgrades can get ragged on in user experience perspectives for legit reasons.
a) 'The site was unusable for 5 months' is not a 'user experience' issue, b) Xon has, in fact, worked out those kinks by now, so it's not particularly relevant to whether QQ should upgrade or not, and c) I was using SV all throughout the upgrade period and never experienced anything like that.
Xenforo 2 textbox is shit. SHIIIIIT
Huh, I guess some people do use the WYSIWYG editor. I just have most BBcode memorised.
Back in my day, we didn't have no fancy WYSIWYG editor. We typed in our own damned BBCode. Uphill! Both ways! And we goddamn liked it! *grumbles in old man*
On a computer there isn't really a difference, on mobile however? SB's is godawful, trying to use anything from the top bar is a pain in the ass because it treats it as part of the fucking text box and freaks out every single time you hit one of them.
I straight up don't see any real difference between the Xenforo 2 textbox and the one on QQ.
I mean, I think vBulletin had a WYSIWYG? That was the standard when I started. I think I learned the BBcode because it's tricky to fuck around with quotes in WYSIWYG. I've an eidetic memory, so memorising it wasn't too hard, but I imagine it'd be harder for others.
Well, yes, obviously, as is implicit in the statement "the account now lies abandoned out of habit."
Cool, but I was using a midrange Android phone. My brother had the same issues IIRC with a tablet, so it seems it was about Android in general? I didn't have issues on PC either, despite my PC at the time being roughly on par with my phone (it was pretty old).
As always, my main desire is that the QQ textbox is somehow kept. Or if someone can figure out how to preserve the textbox somewhere, because the functionality is perfect for me, and I hate the current SB textbox.
For example, when I use fullscreen on it? In ends up falling far short of the whole screen.

That ain't the whole screen, and it doesn't even show the word count, etc. It's SHIT.
Or in general, the typing is not as responsive. QQ's textbox responds perfectly, there's no lag from activating bold or italics. SB and SV? They have that lag, meaning if I type without pause (and not even THAT fast, something like three letters per second is already enough to trigger this) while deactivating italics or bold, it fails to trigger the deactivation and I keep typing modified text, and such.
How the fuck do you downgrade in functionality?!
I can take a lot of changes assuming it's similar to what SB/SV will get. But god help me, please keep the textbox functional.
So you're Harold Saxon?
You are not alone.
It is "in progress"*
You are not alone.
I hate Xen 2 with a passion.
If this place does switch over then I'm leaving.
We are not using any discouragement features.
Themes will be a bit of an issue- because they kinda need customization more than before, we're probably going to scale back on number of available themes.
