Good luck on a smooth transition from one platform to another. Dealing with new things. It will require all to let jeff know how the new platform is working and what bugs need to be fixed.
You can plan for what could happen but things change when going live. This requires all to help and let Jeff address the issues. Things take time to fix but I'm sure we will all enjoy the benefits to the new platform. Thanks everyone for the info. I got the news today. We all hope it goes smoothly.
 
By the way, there are a couple of other forums that just went through the exact same upgrade from Huddler/Wikia to Xenforo using the same migration team so if you want to sort of get an idea of how things will work, feel free to go check them out using the links below.

This would give you a chance to learn where the buttons are, how to post, where to find new posts, etc.

Cheftalk.com

TheCatSite.com

As you can see, both of the sites are formatted completely different but the forums area is the same.

Brian also has a Grilling Meat forum at grillingmeatforums.com although it was not previously on the Huddler platform, it is on the Xenforo platform. It will give you a great idea of how to start a new thread, post, share posts, etc. if you want to check it out. Also some really great content as well.

I think the more people who are familiar with the new platform before the upgrade, the better off we'll be.

Let me know if you have any questions.
 
SMF will be great again! Thank you Jeff for investing in our infrastructure. Will there be a Wall? A firewall and Mexico will pay?

With this new format will we be able to search and get a list of New Threads started by ourself and others by searching under that members name. As it is now all we can get is a list of posts not new threads--its almost impossible to find a particular smoke that a member has done.

Hope that's clear. LOL

You can certainly search using a members username and the results that come up tell you whether the result is a thread or a post. I haven't found a way, however, to sort them by type in order to lump the threads together or eliminate the post entries from the search but there very well may be a way to do that.

Search does seem more intuitive than what we have here.

I just found it..

You can go to a user's profile page and there is a link that says find all threads by [username]

You can also do that here using a special link. To look for someone else's threads, just change the user id which you can find by hovering over there username and looking at the url in your browser status bar.

For instance here is the link to all of your threads and you'll notice the bolded part is your user id on SMF.

Thanks for the bumps or I would have missed this post and thought my computer was fritzing out on the 25th!

I just confirmed that we are still on for the upgrade on Monday, September 25th at around noon CST. Should be fun!

Thanks for the heads up Jeff.

I wouldn't know a huddler and a whatever it is from a pickup truck. I hate upgrades but if you make it simple enough for a techno dinosaur, old fart like me I'll be happy.

Gary
I got the same problem!!

That and the fact that this Forum works better than any other forum I have been on.

And like I've often said, "The search Engine works better than Any I have ever seen".

I would think it would be hard to make a new one work better than the current forum, but I'll be here trying.

Xenforo..... Seasoned a brisket with the stuff once. Wasn't too bad! Looking forward to a more fancy site. B
