After playing around enough with the other forum software, I seem pretty confident that we'll be switching now. If you'd like to give any suggestions for what you'd like to see/not see in the new design, please don't hesitate to speak up. There are some things we need to keep in mind as to what will transfer/not transfer. (The below lists do not necessarily include all items).
Will transfer:
--Usernames/passwords.
--Posts/threads
--Calendar feature
--Gallery feature (more simplistic version)
--Wiki (will not be impacted in the slightest)
--URL will remain unchanged
--Signatures
--Private messages
--Attachments
Won't transfer:
--Current custom titles
--Current linkshell as listed in your profile
--Advanced posting editor as seen when posting (though a different version may be available)
--Bazaar feature
--All past events recorded on current calendar
--Likes given/received counts (sorry :/ )
--Avatars
--Some post formatting (will try to implement as much cross-site compatibility as possible pre-launch)
May/may not transfer:
--Images in gallery
--Chat feature (will be vastly different if transferred...maybe even just a shout box).
Additional features:
--Sidebar on all pages (forum index only to start)
--Latest threads in sidebar
--"Lite" version and mobile support
--Login via username OR email
--Completely revamped systems and database
--Completely revamped imagery
--Featured articles image slider on the front page
