Lots of people have been finding things out for themselves, however it is always useful to find out new stuff... So for those that want to learn - here ya go!!



vBulletin's original creator is a guy named Kier Darby and is well known in the forums arena for his genius. Keir left vBulletin about 2 years ago when vBulletin was bought out by a big conglomerate called IB (Internet Brands). Since then, Kier has been working on a revolutionary forums package called Xenforo.



Kier has released Xenforo in it's beta form about a year ago. Fortunately, we were chosen as a beta tester some time ago and have been running the forum for a while. What we have found is that it offers much more simplicity over other software out there and adds some very new cutting edge features as well.



Main features include :



  • Animated Transitions: Clicking on most anything will give you more information about the item clicked.
  • PM's are now called PC's (Personal Conversations) and are not limited to 2 people (3 way, 4 way ect)
  • Likes: Similar to common Agree systems except you are notified when others like your posts
  • Alerts: Notifies you of people that have liked your posts or people who have quoted your post
  • Enhanced attachments: Attachments are easier than ever to insert into a post.
  • Easier Navigation: Navigating the forum is easy, more intuitive.
  • Less Clutter: More information but uses animation and member cards to organize it.
  • Following: Like a Facebook Friends system, it allows you to follow your friends in your own personal news-feed.
