Xenforo to Discourse: The Path & The Plan

[Nosias]

I am working on templates for specific topics, like grow journals or Cultivators Club related testing.

Pre-loaded templates for product and genetic testing. All you have to do is fill in the blanks (more or less.)

I love your service to others. You all are amazing. !!!!!!!

Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!

I will do my best to answer any and all questions regarding this.

So will everyone have to resign up or register or will our current sign and passwords need to be re-entered? Alos will there be a redirect to the correct site?

As of right now; yes you will have to create a new user account for the new software. This is the current instance of Discourse if you'd like to join:

Autoflower.org

The Home of Autoflowering Cannabis

autoflower.discourse.group

Eventually Autoflower.org will resolve to the Discourse site, not this one (which until we officially shut this down, would still be available as read-only with a URL similar to the above.

Something that really irritates me at the discourse site...I have to scroll miles (and with multiple reloads) to get to anything current or to go back to the top to reply to the thread.

Can we have pages back? Please? It is so much less cumbersome.

One more thing: (chrome browser on android phone) when I try to save a bookmark or put a shortcut on my homepage, it is a link to autoflower.org, not the discourse site...

Use the slider on the right side of the posts. I do like the pages better. But with the slider if you click below it or at the bottom of the "pole" it will go to the end of the thread and the new posts. I am not sure how to find where you left off but the posts are numbered. (if any of us can remember! hah!)

Well, at least I'm not the only one!

Thanks.
This is going to take some getting used to.

It's easy to remember what page something is on and to go back and forth. ie responding to something posted awhile ago. Sad to let that go.

Best thing at this point is to take time and poke around, get used to things.
