[QUOTE="galumay, post: 838885, member: 74590"] As someone who works in the field, Xenforo is a much better forum platform than vBulletin. Its better coding, its cleaner, better supported with updates etc and has gained a significant share as a result. I havent been around long enough to even see the negative rep system you currently have, but on most other forums I have seen it implemented it leads to a lot of what is basically online bullying by those that hold majority views against those who might have a different perspective to the masses. I prefer a zero tolerance for trolls, flamers and those that choose to use personal attacks instead of reasoned discussion! The only other thing I have noticed with the current is probably the over use of large images which distract from viewing threads. Not sure how widespread it is, but as an example the threads in the Super Rugby forum seem to all have the conference tables at the top of the thread, taking up about half a page, then when you scroll down the opening post is filled with rather large images which mean you have to scroll down another half page just to get to the first actual post! There are also blank posts which I presume are ads for people not logged in - but not sure why they take up space within the thread? Hope those points are taken in the constructive way they have been intended! [/QUOTE]
