Switch to XenForo?

[Johnny Au]

Given the problems with vBulletin, i would suggest that UT be moved to XenForo. I am a mod on a forum that uses XenForo. It is simple to use, yet is very powerful. However, XenForo is more expensive, but there are many members who are willing to donate.

What are the advantages? Who else uses it?

Latin Discussion (latind.com) also uses XenForo. I am a mod of that forum (as Iohannes Aurum), so I can tell you some advantages.

It loads up much faster than vBulletin and there is greater customization with XenForo.

Users, mods, and admins generally find XenForo easier and more stable. You can test drive the demo here: http://xenforo.com/

Many admins have switched over from vBulletin to XenForo (you can do a search on Google). You can read XenForo's FAQ here: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/frequently-asked-questions.5183/

XenForo also has Facebook integration as well, which means that one can use Facebook credentials to log on.

In short, the people behind XenForo originally left vBulletin over disputes between the developers and the owners.

Looking into it. A big step if we do it.
