Thoughts ? :nerv:

Fully Desktop / Mobile compatible. Responsive design.

Big thanks to _JT, without his help this migration wouldn't be possible :bow:

Desktop:

Mobile:

We only got a few crucial things pending (for sale rights and users albums) and we are good to go, the only bad thing is that the migration can take up to 8 hours :nerv:

Looks very good,except for the picture at the top still,
looks like a lhd usdm fake ek9 to me.

I love just about everything about the forum apart from that picture.
 
I like the desktop but I just always find the mob versions of sites a pain in the ass and just switch to desktop anyway.
Great work guys, Dunx

THIS......... Need to get an original ek9 up there.
 
Reminds me a bit of civic life :/ but if changes needs be then I'll embrace it haha
 
I MUCH prefer the current plain industrial look, but I understand why it needs doing. Are we still going to have a home page with the latest feed? :) Thanks for your hard work!
 
different to the current version but it looks good! and agree with getting a real ek9 in the header!

I'm not 100% sure, since I can't find anything equivalent in the new forum software (xenforo).

I like it also, but this forum software is no longer supported, and its not compatible with the new versions of php :(

And the "patch for php 5.4+" costs me around 290$ and I bought the new forum software for 140$ :)
 
Oh no change :wow::wow::wow:

I like the way it is but i will adapt. Keep up the good work lads.
 
I have scheduled the migration to the 5th of September with a Xenforo expert

Hope everything goes well.

The migration should take around 8 hours. :( during this time the forum will not be accessible :(

Coulnt you just set up a new forum on a separate MySQL database and then backup/restore the forum on the new software once complete?

Still wouldnt be zero downtime, but should be kept to a minimum. Just a thought :secret:

Can't do this, if I leave the old forum open, the new posts / attachments posted during the migration will be lost :(
