All good advice. Content especially is king.

Welcome to the community. Yep time passes when you enjoy doing something. I'm a member at Agora. I purchased your xenForo style too. So much different from the rest. New fresh design. I'll have to check out your other forum.

I have consolidated the individual forum software forums in the new Forum Software Discussions forum. Instead of having a forum for each specific forum software we will use thread prefixes. If you want to suggest any new prefixes that I might have missed let me know.

Starbucks along with AllHeart, Rich and I were the ones that started the site. Starbucks and Rich has since passed. Many of the members have passed. The site was built for older people to get tech help. When you build a site for the older people who are tech challenged you can expect users to pass. In any case it's a good place for tech help.

This thread is for the general discussion of the link xTreme .Net Talk. Please add to the discussion here.

I believe they took Discourse and made their own fork. Since Discourse is open source you can do that.

It's pretty good for free. A ton of features. As soon as things stabilize with the power outages here I'll install a phpbb test site.

Great site. Cool people running it and as members.

I want to apologize for the downtime. The servers are located in Tampa. Hurricane Milton hit the area hard. Power was off then on then off again. Last time for almost 24 hours. The site is up at this time. I'm hoping the worst is over. Thanks for hanging in there.

Updated to correct spelling mistake.

Look forward to see what kind of communities you like. You can add them to the link directory if you like.

Well I'm back. No damage from the extreme winds. Other people in the neighborhood not so lucky. Servers went offline as I expected. I have them all up and running again. Electric came up as we pulled in the driveway. I saw all the lights in the house turn on. That's what happens when your house in fully automated. I will be working to move the site off the backup server so might be a little glitchy from time to time.

Shawn, it's not as hard as you think. Put your site in dev mode and take a look at the code of the addons.

Fixed. I should delete this thread. I had the link directory installed briefly. I didn't like it since it didn't create screenshots of the site on submission like the old LD Link directory script did and like the one I use on my blog. Too much to ask users to take a screenshot to upload. If I can find a way to make it a text only directory I will install it. If you set it not need an attachment it leaves a big blank area for where the screenshot should be.
