Xenforo to Discourse: The Path & The Plan

[VitaMan]

Hybrid transition question.

After launch if someone starts a new thread on Discourse, can it also appear here?

Or would it better to create it here, build participation during transition and migrate with it?

Yes and no.

You'd have to create a thread (called a "topic" now on Discourse) on Discourse.
Then you'd have to create a thread here.

But posting on one wouldn't post on the other. So you'd be posting twice, once on each site.

Your best bet is to honestly complete what you have going here, but start posting over there for new threads.

I'm about to start a new grow. However I can't find a appropriate category to post a new journal under. **nudge, nudge**

Discourse....................Dammit!

They just never made much sense to me. Navigation always seem more difficult to find what I wanted.
I guess that's from using forums for 25 plus years.

Shame to lose all that data, but it's NOT worth the fee.

All signed up.

I could care less about keeping any of my old data…like at all.

Hell, you can delete this post right now if you really want.

Tell me when to switch, I’ll switch. No drama needed.

$6,000 seems outrageous for content that rarely, if ever gets used… in my opinion.


Now, back to my regularly scheduled bong hits……

I agree, Full steam ahead !!!!! I just registered , and I had no issues. I surprised myself. Great decision and no greater family can not find.

What I was saying to @Son of Hobbes was...go out and look at our front page...it would be intimidating to step onto site now and think I have got to learn how to navigate us...but if you put it in context...Most of us will actually be Lucky to use 3 threads on site... ...with a few basic functions to learn.

Discourse is exactly the same..Find Live Stoners.. Assembly point..then get Stoned for a week to get comfortable...and move out when you feel up to it.

I've suggested to @Son of Hobbes that we then ask the Seniors in LiveStoners...the guys who screen shot and teach already...cough..cough...

Let them go out... explore what they think will be useful.. bring it back into LS...with a tutorial every Friday night...while we sit in LS getting stoned......works for me..... #JustSayin
