XenForo 2.4 is coming soon. https://xenforo.com/community/threads/coming-soon-xenforo-2-4.225302/ Share your thoughts about it. What do you look forward to with this upcoming release?

What's your forum software? If it was discontinued today and you were forced to move platforms, which would you move to? How easy would it be to transfer?

Do you have a custom forum theme? Would you ever design and create your own custom forum theme? Or would you rather pay a designer to do it for you?

Got an alert that Invision Community beta 5 was released. Upgrade to it on the beta site. Conversions now work. Going to convert a small site to see how it goes. I was waiting for this. Once the converters were turned on in the beta 0v version 3.x it wasn't long after that it went gold. Head over to https://testing123.info to play with it.

Do you keep a close eye on the content being posted on competing forums? If yes, how has it helped you? If no, why not?

I go back and forth on this. On a couple of my sites I have chat enabled. The chat works well on those sites and compliments the forum well. The sites I use chat software on are an off topic forum and a computer help forum. I have used it on other sites and on those the chat took over. Everyone went to posting in the chat instead of the fourm. What's your thoughts?

Do you think polls on a forum are often forgotten? I know most platforms hide them behind a button, which I think adds to the effect of many people not realizing that the feature is there. Do you often neglect to create polls?

In your opinion, what is the worst forum software out there? Why do you feel this way?

Hi Everyone, This is Debashis, from India. I am professionally an aerospace electronics engineer. In my spare time, I like to browse forums, listen to music, play games and watch movies/series. Super excited to spend my time here. Thanks for having me. :)

I upgraded the site to the newest version of IPB version 4.7.19. Upgrade went very smooth. First upgrade I have done in a while. Took about 5 minutes once I entered my details in the upgrader. Way faster than xenforo. The upgrader in xenforo also left a lot to be desired as far as speed. Even the command line version was slow. In any case that's in the rear view and not to be dwelled upon.

Here's my simple formula for SEO. 1. Choose your topic based on the needs, wants, and pain points of your target audience. You have to "listen" to what they want before you know what they want. 2. Research a suitable keyword. Use a tool like SEM Rush, Uber Suggest, or something like that to make life easier. You want a good search volume but a low competition score. Don't use the same keyword more than once. A longtail keyword is going to be easier to work with. 3. Write the best content you can. Search your keyword on Google and open up the first 10 results. Make sure you include what they include in your own words, but fill in the gaps that they miss. Long-form…
