Migrating the site to Xenforo

That was before posters using ad blockers. It's an option that I am putting out there. No more freeloading by those dishonest enough to circumvent the funding to keep this site going. It's like taking your bacon and eggs to the restaurant and ask them to cook it for free. A larger portion of the regulars on this board are doing exactly that and I am exploring options to keep this site going.

Posters are using ad blockers because this site was borderline unusable at times. Respectfully. It was to the point where half of my posts were getting deleted mid paragraph. If I hadn't been here for so long I wouldn't have stayed.
 
I'm only seeing icons for posters and not their actual names.

Edit: that was from my Android phone. I can see the poster names on a desktop

I can't access the moderator function to delete those threads and ban those members yet. Sent an email to the programmer asking for that. Also, Mavric and other moderators can't delete them as well.

The first week-ish of a site upgrade is always pretty bumpy. ;)

Does the ad-free option work yet? I clicked the link and it took me to PayPal, but I'm not going to pay until we get confirmation it's working.

No, it's not working. Until the programmer sets me up as an administrator, I won't be able to set it up and my connection there is on vacation until the 30th so it will be sometime in July before it gets activated.

I couldn't even access the site. But I could access the admin back-end. I had to enable a bunch of permissions for the Admin group. I haven't gotten to the Mods yet. So you may have more permissions now.

I'm assuming there are still adjustments that need to be made. For instance, tweets aren't showing up.

I'll note that Xenforo handles that stuff a little differently. Tweets won't automatically load in the post box, but will show up after you hit Post. Also, you won't be able to post an image just by copying & pasting the URL into the post box anymore, you have to use the Insert Image button, then click on By URL and paste the image link in there.
