I apologize if this has been answered, but is this new software going to be Tapatalk compatible? And if so, will our current Tapatalk subs continue to work? Or will we need to set everything up from scratch?
Xen Foro tips and tricks

A final decision hasn't been made regarding Tapatalk. It depends on whether we still have issues with Tapatalk ignoring certain requirements for specialized forums. As to whether the old login information will still work if it's activated without redoing everything, it remains to be seen (it's doubtful).
The new forum is responsive in design and you can use a standard browser on your mobile device to view the forum just fine as described here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/forum-how-tos/666330-xen-foro-tips-tricks.html#post15604990

how exciting !! This new software looks like it's going to be a lot of fun to learn 
Good thread Retired1. Maybe I've been away during the other transitions, but this looks like it will be the easiest one. Thanks for all the info!
Will the banners with live stats migrate properly? Just curious because I'm coming up on my 3 mo anniversary and was thinking about making one, but I can wait until after the move.

If you're making one from another site, they should port over just fine as it's just a signature item. We'll have to look into the ECF generated ones and make sure they also carry over.
All banners (including ECF banners) should carry over just fine.
For those of us with a banner in our sigs showing time we quit etc we should just copy the banner URL and save it, then when the new forum is up and running just paste the URL into the new profile right?
You can do that if you'd like, save it in a text file or something, as a precaution. But so far, signatures are importing ok. The only real concern at this time is the ECF generated banner (currently available from the Forum Actions link above).
Tapatalk gives automatic notifications to the user on PMs and thread updates. A Web interface, as good as it might be, doesn't

Me likey! (I think . . .

P.S.: Will our current avatars migrate automatically over to Xen Foro, or should I do something now to ensure I can "find" my avi and install it after the changeover??

Will there be any other changes other than the new software? i.e. Number of posts to do certain things, membership levels, forums/sub-forums, etc.?
It would be nice if new users could not start new threads (other than maybe one introduction thread) until a certain number of posts, because so many think that 5 new posts means 5 new threads. Besides, just about every thread new members start is already covered if they would just search.

Perhaps this has been asked and or answered already- will subscribed threads transfer over or will we have to redo it once the new software launches?
Why does this need to be checked, will the system log you out if you're inactive for say 15 mins or so without it being checked? I always log out when I leave ECF, but I've noticed in the last month or so that at times when I know I logged out, close the browser, turn off puter, next day come back open ECF in browser it pulls up and already has me logged in. I don't like that. So if I check that box will it do that, or simply keep me from being logged off if inactive for a bit?
Sure hope so, don't wanna have to go find em all again. Good question. Overall........i'm looking forward to many of these changes!!
Mouse over your username at the top right of the forum and you'll see a drop down similar to this:
Select "Your Content"
I'm sure I'll end up on the ignored list a lot.

Avatars will import just fine as you can see here.
Yep!
The 5 post requirement will remain in effect.
Good question! Yes, your watched (subscribed) threads will carry over.
The "Stay logged in" box prevents the software from logging you out automatically after a set period of time. Ever type up a long response and go to submit it only to find you're not logged in? Checking the "Stay logged in" box prevents that from happening.
and how is xenforo's search engine? but then again, anything got to be an improvement over vb
