You're gonna love the new search.
We've been toying with the idea of dumping the likes to speed up the conversion process and letting everyone start from scratch.
j/k
Please tell me we won't lose post count in the process! Everything else I can live with. Progress is good, but I'd hate to start over at post #1.
Post count will carry over
Good! I was unable to find that little piece of info when I Google searched for it in transitioning from one forum software to the other.
Ah, post counts should be abolished altogether (or hidden if membership ranking is important)
While there will be the inevitable hiccoughs in the transition, and the also inevitable curmudgeons, it's great to be making the move to improved software.
We'll be able to point folk here and/or try to explain
I have a feeling that the changes will become second nature after a very short while.
SO looking forward to this, @retired1!
Uploading pictures is even easier (that's another tip that I'll be addressing soon) in XF. And if you're using Chrome, you're gonna LOVE the ability to drag and drop an image into the reply box.

What a nightmare that would be if we were all set back to new member! ROFLMAO The rest of the forum would look like a ghost town and the spamming for post count?!?!?!?! !
Imo, the current size of the supporting member decal is about right, in proportion to the avatar size.
Do without it? No. To me, it's like the post count. Those who care enough (and have the where-with-all) to support ECF are often those with more experience in vape-land, and are also more often those who are most willing to help out.
Post count isn't any kind of indication of character, intelligence, or standing, but a higher post count or longer membership length does signify that maybe the person who is giving you advice knows something about the subject being discussed, at least when the topic is ecig related. I know that when I was a newby I listened closer to people with more time and posts than those who joined last week with 25 post counts.
It's a valid and hopefully meaningful reference.
oh no! a big 'supporting member' decal but avis are the same size?
Wouldn't join date and member title do the same thing (veteran, etc.)?
I know it's not possible currently, but will the new software enable the ability to opt out of flying the supporting member flag if desired?
you're going about this wrong - worry about the little things; that way you won't have a chance to get shell-shocked by contemplating this daunting switch-over
no matter what - we'll be with you in spirit when the time comes and if it works we'll adjust
