Hello all! I've been mighty quiet this year but I've been hard at work improving our styles and working on new goodies. First and foremost let's get this out of the way.
Price increase
We launched our first style a little over six years ago, since that time we've never increased the prices of our styles and yet we feel the quality of support and releases vastly improved. After careful consideration, we'll be increasing the style license cost from $25 to $30. The renewal and branding removal price will not be increased, remaining at $20. This change will start 3/15/2019. Existing customers with an active license as of this post can submit a ticket to receive a $5 discount code for any purchases made within the next 2 months. This offer expires 5/15/2019.
1.5 End of Life Schedule
Due to XenForo dropping support for 1.5 in the coming months we feel it's best to follow these dates as well. We will no longer be selling the 1.5 styles as of today. Although you can't purchase any new licenses, you will be able to still download the most recent version up to your license expiration date. We do have a small update coming soon to the 1.5 product package which is just updating an outdated template. For quite some time, our primary focus has been on the 2.x series and strongly urge you into upgrading if you can, it's a great product!
Site changes - removing conversations
To prioritize our support channels we will be removing the conversation ability on our official site. We're always looking for ways to improve our customer service and we feel by having just the specific channels (Customer forum & Tickets) we can focus on you as a customer to our best ability. Just remember, tickets are private while customer forums can be seen by anyone.
New "Forum style"
A big new feature that's shipping with our 2.1.1 updates is a brand new "forum style". Prior to this update, we had the following: Default, Classic and Boxed. All styles will now be shipping with a new mode called "Canvas". This converts the entire forum layout to a canvas-type layout. This is new and there will be kinks to it I'm sure but it can definitely provide an alternate look to everyone's style!
It's a simple option:
That can transfer your setup from something traditional like:
to something like:
This, of course, has zero impact on your forum if you decide not to use it, none of the CSS or HTML will load if you don't enable it.
2,1,1 Style updates
The XenForo 2.1.1 didn't really change much on the templates, with our latest versions you'll see two outdated templates which you can safely ignore until you receive the update. They added label's on buttons and re-ordered the display location of the reactions in a template. Assuming all goes well... all updates will be sent out today, I'll post a new thread with those update details.
Thank you for your continued support.
