It is 12 months today since we launched the new version of Templot Club running on XenForo software.
We didn't have much choice, it is a couple of months now since Jim finally switched the old server off.
How is it going? I've not had a lot of feedback so I assume no news is good news.
In the first 12 months we have had 3,218 posts in 327 topics from 273 members. That's a lot fewer members than the 2,000+ we had on the old forum, but of course on any web forum the vast majority of members are inactive, especially if it has been running for many years.
Just a reminder that getting an email notification of everything posted on Templot Club is possible, but much more tedious to set up than on the old forum because you must do it for each forum section separately. Full details are at:
https://85a.uk/templot/archive/topics/topic_3839.php#p31676
I have asked on the XenForo support site why it can't be made easier, but there is general disbelief that anyone would want such a thing.
One thing I do want to get changed if I can is to make links to other topics open always in a new tab. At present only external links do that. You can force a link to open in a new tab if you hold down the CTRL key while clicking it -- such as that one above.
Happy Christmas everyone.
Martin.
