  1. Crazy that Invision is so far down the list, though!!
  2. My advice is simple. Don't expect overnight success. Enjoy a smaller community while it lasts. It's where you make your biggest and longlasting friendships.
  3. We do need to be as welcoming as we can. Onboarding new membership is essential for communities and forums. It's how you turn a new member into a loyal member who keeps coming back.
  4. 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?
  5. 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?
  6. 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?
  7. Here's your chance to give a forum admin newbie one best piece of advice. What is your advice?
  8. I do have to get used to it, though. I'm used to that forum structure with categories and boards haha
  9. How to come up with new content ideas for your forum? Do you follow a certain strategy? Do you research content before you post it? Do you keep a content to-do list at all?
  10. I'd just be careful posting your forum to websites that aren't really relevant to your niche. I feel like posting forums on forums is one thing, but directories and boards that are meant for promotional items only might be bad for ranking. I know Google has said time and time again that it's not a fan of directories being used for backlinks.
  11. Maybe make it for computer-related questions for users rather than just chit-chat. Keep it niche-based.
  12. I really like the idea of themed days for a forum. I use it a lot on my social pages and it does well. I feel like we could incorporate it into our forums.
  13. Welcome to the community :)
  14. What has been the worst experience ever that you have had with a forum? Tell us your biggest forum horror story here!
  15. What else do you get into?
  16. Is it just pages for your forum, like static pages?
  17. Well, let's start with your passions! What are they? Do you have a ham radio forum at all?
  18. What has been the best content you've posted on your forum? Best in terms of engagement and reactions. Don't link to it. Better yet, tell us the structure of it. What was it about? What kind of CTA (question, etc) was in the original topic. What has kept it going?
  19. 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?
  20. Definitely. But make sure it's valuable content.
  21. Welcome to FF, @Cedric
  22. I'll have to try to get IP when it's on sale LOL
  23. I wonder if the original Forum Forum people are still around? I bet they'd like to see this place up again! Maybe...
