That's what she said... :D

Honestly, I don't like this software. I get dropped cursors during editing, it's slower at times than vB, and the errors are kinda weird...

Just saying, y'know... ;)
 
CONVERSATIONS vs. PRIVATE MESSAGES:

Are PMs now replaced by conversations? I notice that you can leave a conversation, but I don't see how you can delete it. If we want to remove multiple conversations, do we now have to enter each one and leave it?

Is there a way to turn off conversations?

Thanks

Thanks Rick. These are growing pains. We'll get all the kinks worked out. :) The site feels a lot snappier but the remaining speed issues will be fixed once we go to a new server. I have a dedicated box all picked out. Just waiting to pull the trigger on the new server until all my paperwork is in order business wise.

I noticed the cursors issue myself when editing posts particularly when using keyboard navigation (home, end, etc). I'll open a ticket with the software people

What other kind of errors are ya getting?

Hank, Conversations = PMs with expanded features. You can add people to a conversation after the fact, etc. It's actually pretty useful.

You're able to limit who can start conversations with you here: http://ourdjtalk.com/account/privacy

You can leave a conversation and ignore future messages to delete a conversation. This is due to a structure change in the way PMs (err conversations) are stored. No longer are there separate copies for each message and each member who's party to the conversation. Every message has one copy in the database with a permissions based on who is a part of the conversation.

Don't recall the exact text, but it's being generated by the forum software. Something like "That page can't be found". It's not a browser error.

I'll try and get a snip the next time it pops up...

Thanks. The faster I know about the problems the faster they can be swashed. I know the new software is very "Facebooky" but in the few months I've been using it; I've grown more comfortable with it than vBulletin. That's says something.

Depends on how easy it is to maintain it... ;)

vB seemed fairly easy to maintain, just do your own straight mods. This one generates some odd code, that's hard to read. "breadcrumbs", "crumbs" and "crust" are sorta weird -- makes me want to plug in my toaster... o_O

So far XF is remarkably easy to maintain. For instance, I cannot believe how easy it was to put the logo up. In vB 4 the option is buried if you don't know what to search for in a specific area you'd never find it.

vB was easy to maintain. vB 4 changed things significantly. There has been very little new features implemented in 4 without an upsell. That's in addition to vB 4 being much more expensive than 3. Template system was garbage (IMHO). Blogs and CMS both garbage and a waste of money again IMHO.

Breadcrumbs are short for where you are on the site most newer sites use breadcrumbs. vBulletin had them too, just didn't call the breadcrumbs. :)
 
Here ya go Danno -- this one pops up quite a bit, and just did again...

Why didn't I think of that. :D Didn't see one off hand, probably hard coded somewhere. I'll open a support ticket as the php is encoded.

That's my issue with maintenance of XF... ;)

I did take issue with that too but I never had the need to edit vB's php files, so a viewable source was nice but wasn't useful. Everything is done with plugins.

I'm a programmer Danno -- first thing I do, is jump into their code, and see what I can fix (or break)... :)
