Haven't used it all yet, but the new forum looks outstanding. Thanks guys...
Looks good. I often check in from the ForumRunner app. Is there an update for that or a different app to use?
While,it does support it, it didn't pick up all the forums and some of the sticky threadsI havent tried it, but Forumrunner claims to support this software - xenforo
Michael, I was looking at your web site... Tomorrow we are having the first documented live, interactive, audio and video, 2 way, Demo!! Lyle jamieson will be doing a Hollowing for us, with questions and answers... For us is a great opportunity, its not easy to bring people from the mainland...Delighted that you like it, Hal. If you notice any bugs or funky behavior, please don't hesitate to report in the Official Bugs thread.
Many thanks,
Michael
There is now a Like button!! Great! Always looked for it. A great addition, when a response is not necessary but it's nice to acknowledge someone. Bill maybe you could check my website and correct my Spanglish. Aloha.I also was admiring your web site, Michael. Nice photography, but you misspelled amateur so I can't give you a perfect ten. I know, I'm cold.

These live web demos were pioneered by @alan Zenreich. He did the first tho I am not sure where. He also tutored Lyle , who is technically challenged. Alan hopes to spread this format across the AAW as a way to get quality demos from top notch demonstrators to more clubs and the cost of doing so will be lower .Michael, I was looking at your web site...

I have been looking for someone to help us take better pictures of our pieces... Wondering if we could do a remote demo? Did I say, I'm in Maui? lol I'm writing an article for the Journal about our experience...
Figure doesn't hurt to ask.... Aloha

Gerald, if you read my post again, I said we are the first documented interactive remote demo. There are other clubs that have done it, but did not write about it like we are. Lyle Jamieson, Joshua Friend and myself are writing an article for the journal about our experience and the equipment that we used. We had a great demo today. Well over 3 hours. Lyle donated his fee back to the club!! And yes, we are the first ones ever to write about it in the Journal. Stay tuned for the story.These live web demos were pioneered by @alan Zenreich.

Not sure who was first to do a web demo. I know Trent Bosch did a web demo in the fall of 2014.These live web demos were pioneered by @alan Zenreich. He did the first tho I am not sure where.

Good job on the new forum guys. It was worth the wait.

Emiliano, that's way cool! Please, if you have the time, start a thread and tell us how you did it and how it went! At our 25th Anniversary, our chapter did a Skype chat with one of the founding members, and it was wonderful. Like the idea of a "live, interactive, audio and video, 2 way, Demo"Michael, I was looking at your web site...

Hockenberry,Not sure who was first to do a web demo. I know Trent Bosch did a web demo in the fall of 2014.
Alan gave a great presentation at the AAW and is packaging what he has learned for AAW members to use.
Bill,What type of device are you using? We haven't implemented Forumrunner yet although it is on the list. I use an iPad and find that it works quite satisfactorily because XenForo is mobile device friendly.
Bill,
Would like to see Forumrunner back. The interface worked well on the old forum.
Safari is okay. I appreciate all you guys are doing. Maybe once the fires are just smoking.....

I already sent Joshua Friend, our Journal editor my side of the story, along with several pictures. Lyle Jamieosn is writing his side. I believe Joshua is better qualified than me, lol, to write the final story... It will be on the Journal soon!! It was a great demo. Over 3 hours long!! We had beginners, intermediate and advance turners, as well a few professionals. Lyle had everyones attention! On our side the set up its very simple. A lap top, a good speaker, a projector connected to it. The crucial part is to have a wired ethernet internet connection. Even the fastest wifi is not good enough... We tested it...
We are really hoping more professionals can do it!! I envision a page on the AAW web site, where you can go and see who is available, topics, fees, etc... We really enjoyed Lyle. More to come.
Michael,
No disrespect to Al's viewpoint here, but I'm very pleased with the forum on my iphone and ipad. Also on my nexus tablet. I run chrome, safari and occasionally firefox (which I find slow loading and clunky but helpful in site development work). Not knowing anything about ForumRunner I don't know what I'm missing.
I just wanted to chime in again and say that I'm surprised at how few bugs have been reported during the deployment, and that I really appreciate the fast response time to every query. So thanks again everyone!
Mark

Thanks, Andy. We feel very pleased with XenForo. It is highly configurable to the users needs so we aimed for a user interface that would hopefully have a familiar look and feel ... even down to using the same color scheme. We invited some forum members to give it a test drive for a few days before going live and I think the overall impression was that the software is reasonably intuitive. From my perspective, user acceptance is the most important factor so I was very insistent that we would have a product that met met that goal. The actual rollout was a rather sudden decision without advance notice, but the timing coincided with the usual lull in activity when many members are attending the annual symposium.
If you are quoting just one person, click on the <reply> on the bottom right of that reply and it quotes that user and puts it in a reply boxThe only thing I feel funny about the new system is that when you try to quote a post, it is a two-step process. Also, you have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to enter your reply. I do like the alert, though. I only discovered it this morning.

If you want to reply to a specific part of a previous post (f3or instance, one or two sentences in a long post, you can highlight the sentence(s), then select Reply from the little red box that pops up
I think you can also select +quotes from different people and respond in only one reply. Now ain't that nice?!? Wouldn't want to get too carried away with the idea though.I didn't know about the second tip that you mentioned ... that's really handy when you want to address portions of a post separately.
