Forum - major release upgrade today

[c0ldshadow]

Hey Guys,

I'll be working on a major forum release upgrade today to xenforo 2.1.0. The site may be down for a few hours during this time. I'm doing my best to keep us current; the old LPF I made the mistake of getting too comfortable with the old (but stable version). The problem is if you get too comfortable on an older build, then it becomes more and more complicated to upgrade over time, and eventually an upgrade will be required.

Have a great day and you guys have fun weekend.

Best Regards,

-Ave

Sounds good, Avery, looks like some decent improvements, and ....more/better emoji's!

Avery, I've posted this before but is it possible that we could get animated avatars back? Also increase the avatar size slightly so it fills the side panel like the old system was?

Anyway, thank you for keeping the site maintained and up to date

@CurtisOliver don't think it's possible since images are part of vbulletin license. Will actually be doing upgrade tomorrow. I'll let you guys know when it's done

No worries. It’s only a minor thing anyway.
Thanks.

Tea but the old icons from the old forum were awesome the best.
YOU can say that again....I think? jk ..

It looks as if our avatars have gotten even smaller, and are now round, on the plus side, we now have many more icons, not the old style, but still a nice variety!
The beer is back.

Facebook style "reactions" instead of likes as well?

Icons/Smilies/Emojis look like the complete unicode set now
