What about a new software entirely? https://www.vbulletin.com/ comes to mind... |
| Jackster:
Forum upgrade > any other hosted service then ^-^ Xenforo is top btw. Much better than vBulletin. |
| Messtechniker:
Once this attachment thing works as advertised :) may I propose a test equipment picture database: Often only a test equipment designation is given in the body of text. And often enough I'd like to see the corresponding picture, preferably by way of an in-line link and not by needing to find a picture through an external search. Any ideas on this? Cool or not? |

I would like to open something of a can of worms :D I mentioned this already some time ago, and a couple of other did as well. Would you consider changing the forum software completely? SMF shows it's age. Several communities i'm a member on are using Xenforo (www.xenforo.com), and i came to like it a lot. It is modern, with a seamlessly scaling UI depending on your device, and at the same time keeps the look and feel of a forum. Unlike for example Discourse :phew: The WYSIWYG Editor works well (and can be switched to a non-WYSIWYG Editor), and you can just drop an image into any post inline, or attach them as well. A well working notification system. A great quoting system, giving the opportunity to easily avoid fullquotes. Its paid software, but it is not expensive. Though of course i have no idea how much effort a migration would be. They say they have a SMF 2.0 importer, but i have no idea how well it works :D --- Quote from: Messtechniker on December 04, 2022, 08:54:05 pm --- --- Quote from: Kenneth Rosenstroem on December 04, 2022, 08:45:46 pm ---What about a new software entirely? https://www.vbulletin.com/ comes to mind... --- End quote --- But only as a last resort.

Test your backups, people! |
