TOPIC: Forum upgrade?

Forum upgrade? 12 years 10 months ago #20220

Account name, steam-id and in-game name?: Luclamus, Steam ID in profile.

Which server is this suggestion for?: N/A

What would you like to add?: I was thinking, maybe the website could upgrade to XenForo. As it's cleaner, easier to use, and easier to manage from a community stand point.

How would it benefit the server/why do you want to add this? Xenforo has database management, better rank configuration (With more options for each group), as well as Steampipe support. Meaning people can log in via their steam account using the proper plugin, as well as register using their Minecraft account. It has other various optional addons like "xFShout", a shoutbox with an alert system. Making urgent news easier to get to the people. It shows right above the shoutbox in a red box (or whatever you set it to). It's easier to add/delete forum nodes and categories, and completely customizable

But what if someone was logged in to steam, and another person(let's say a friend who was hanging out) needed to come onto this forum to say something(and the 1st person doesn't have an account here)? They would have to log into their own steam account.	NilwickPlays Offline Fresh Boarder Posts: 51 Thanks received: 3 Karma: 0

I think Enjin is better, but the website seriously needs an upgrade.	Biolite Offline Junior Boarder Posts: 205 Thanks received: 4 Karma: 0

That's probably not a very common problem and really doesn't matter. You may have to log into steam but it just takes like a minute longer.

It may be cool to make steam work on the forum, but it's too much work for a little feature tbh	Nightfightt Offline Junior Boarder If you got an issue, grab a tissue. ZARP Veteran Posts: 218 Thanks received: 5 Karma: -4
