As of 11/24/19, the K.O. Forum has been migrated from vBulletin to Xenforo, a new and much improved engine for running communities such as this.

It's not done, we'll still be tweaking and improving the design and layout in the coming weeks, but it should be fully operational!

Feel free to add comments and suggestions in this thread regarding the new system and its features.
 
What's NOT ready yet:
  • Redirects - this is a biggie, and not complete yet. Messages that have a link to another forum message in it will try to send you to the post on the old forum. There's supposed to be a way to redirect these to the right post on the new board, but it isn't working yet. In addition, Google will have indexed pages on the old forum and will try to take people there, at least until it has crawled all of our new pages, so that's more of a temporary issue.
  • some of the graphic style doesn't yet work well on mobile devices, or with small browser windows. It's doable, and I'll be working on that in the coming weeks. But if you're using the forum on a phone, you'll see some less-than-ideal graphic layout issues. But the content should work
  • @JohnJ will be working on the "Resources" tab at the top... that's where downloadable files will be located, and he'll be putting up all of the old Favorite Scene files and Script files in the coming week or so.
  • and... i know the default style template we're using here is pretty ugly. I hope to spend more time to make it more attractive soon.
  • SSL Certificate: I've applied for a new SSL certificate so that you won't see the "not secure" message in your browser's address bar... The forum will work fine, but you may get warnings that the site is not secure. This will get fixed in the coming week or so.
  • ... I'm sure I'll find or think of a bunch of other things that won't be working right.
Let me know if you see things that don't look right or don't work right.

Great work! So far the new site is working well for me. Thank you for the quick turnaround time and I look forward to seeing the improvements that are still to come.
 
Loving the avatars 👍
Nice one! I did a bit of a double-take when I saw your avatar as it looks very much like my own "meMoji" from my iphone, which I almost used as my own avatar! I did add a little gray to the hair and beard on mine... but otherwise, ours look very similar! :D

One thing I noticed when I went to kscapeowners.com on my brower, is it still loaded the old forums and clicking the link in the message on the page, just kept loading the old forums. It wasn't until cleared my cache/cookies for this site, that it loaded the new forums. It might be a good idea to update the message on the old forums to mention that.

Love the new forums though! Looks great!

Same thing happened to me, especially on my phone. Tried it on my laptop and ended up at the new site. Will clear cache and see if that works.

Great feedback. I just made that change on the old site.

I will have to look into whether or not they support xenforo sites. I do know that Xenforo works and looks much better on a mobile browser than the older vbulletin software could. But seems like you still prefer to use Tapatalk app on mobile?
 
I agree the new site looks/works great on mobile. Very excited about the migration. Good work.
Tapatalk is just nice since it allows for one location to get to all the forums I frequent while on my phone.
 
Seconding this, it's nice that it does work much better on mobile, but tapatalk support would be great, because most of the the other forums I frequent support it as well, so browsing from one app is very convenient. It does look like there is a Xenforo Tapatalk plugin: https://www.tapatalk.com/download_xenforo
 
Thank you @josh for your hard work and looking forward to contribute by renewing my status that expires in few weeks.

Thanks, Josh. The new site is looking great. Just getting used to how everything is laid out. Well done!
