Hi guys,
If you've tried to access DSF these last couple hours, you might have had trouble. That's because we were in the middle of migrating over to a new forum software. As of today, we are now using XenForo, moving away from vBulletin, which DSF had been using since the very beginning. I'm sure this will be a little bit of an adjustment initially, but I hope you guys see all of the benefits of this forum software. It's certainly more modern. In posting, you have the ability to post GIFS, post all sorts of different embed media content (it goes well beyond just YouTube videos), and I think you'll find the basic notification system much more handy. You can tag users, and they'll get a notification when they're tagged. When you quote a user's post, they'll get notified about that. And then the big advantage is mobile friendliness! DSF should be much easier to use on your phone or tablet going forward. As more and more of us are using our phones, it makes a lot of sense to try and lean into that.
Anyway, I am ecstatic to bring DSF to XF! If you guys have any issues browsing the forum, please let me know. We certainly have some quirks that still need to be worked out, but some things could not be done until we actually made the final move over... And my goal this evening is to hash all that out. As always, thank you for your continued support of DSF!
Also, let's show some love to @Driven2Services, for making all this happen. Ken did an awesome job getting us moved over.
Regards,
Cam
