ExTS Admin AWS Posted February 11, 2018 ExTS Admin Posted February 11, 2018 We are looking at migrating from vbulletin to xenForo as our forum software. The move will add more features to make it easier for members to use the site. The timeline is as follows: Install xenForo on a test site to get user input. ....Done Get input from the members on what they like or dislike. ....In process If members agree it is best to migrate the site start prep work to make it so. Import the data and open up on new software. The test site is at http://xf.freepchelp.uk. You will be able to log in with the same log in that you use here. As you see the test site now is as it will be when we migrate. Please take the time to visit the test site and give some feedback as to your thoughts on the new software. We want to make your experience better and believe that moving to a more modern software will do so. Since it is a test site any posts made on the test site will be removed when the final data import happens so please leave your feedback and comments on this site. Need computer support?

RustyKnight Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 At the moment I find it annoying that there doesn't seem to be a "New posts" link which I used to use to see what was new. [Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Ubuntu MATE, Linux Mint, Chromebook] [several Raspberry Pi running various versions of Raspbian]

allheart55 Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 I can view everything as long as I am not logged in. Once I log in, everything I click on gives me a no permissions error.
