Alright waited it out and researched compatibility. Did the upgrade this morning to 1.3 Beta 2.

Here are some of the new features:
Multi Quote - Pretty obvious we had this on vB, select all the posts you want to quote and near the editor is a button to do the actual insert. You can also insert on a new thread after quoting from a previous thread.

Twitter & Google+ Integration - Joining the ability to Integrate Facebook and let users auth or sign up using these services is Twitter and G+. Fast will have to add the Facebook and there is a confirmed bug I discovered in the login bar not styling correctly it will be fixed soon. This feature is mainly for new sign ups and less about existing users.

IPv6 Support - Not worth explaining if your not familiar but IPv6 IP's are now logged and Xenforo is IPv6 ready.

Spoiler Tags & Custom BB Code - The classic spoiler BB code is now stock and we can also create custom BB codes without having to write an entire plugin. The whole Quote, Code, Spoiler etc BB codes are in this little drop down:

Exif Rotation - Uploaded photos will rotate based on the orientation data in the exif. Useful for attachments from phones etc. I saw a bug report for this under certain conditions so it might not be quite there yet.

There is a fuck ton of little shit on the back end some of it bringing it in line with what we had in vB such as logging user changes. Some goodies like checking shared IP's etc. Too much to list for someone who has been up all night and morning.

Finally a Spoiler Test:
Soulzz IZ Ghei

I will get back to finally finishing the theme... and the new elements just now added such as the above tag in the next couple of days. Recent shit has yet again delayed me.

Rain I just wanted to tell you that the site looks great.

Thanks. If I can ever get a day uninterrupted it will finally be where it should have been at a minimum for day 1.

Gonna bang out some theme improvements over the year but need to get all the little crap fixed first.

Looking great.
This site makes most other forum sites unbearable to use now. I pretty much have to use tapatalk for all other sites because otherwise they bug the hell out of me.

Why because of how well it scales down on mobile browsers? Which will improve over time by the way. Most of the site works okay on Mobile as intended. Front page is not set to be responsive for the moment. It needs some work before the side bars will float properly. Plenty of work left!

Speaking of Tapatalk, New BB codes like Spoiler do not yet work as Taptalk has not put out an update. They will pretty quickly after 1.3 goes gold as they run Xenforo as well.
 
Nah, just chrome on the desktop. Some pretty painful forums out there.
 
Ah lol. Don't worry I haven't forgotten about your avatarless safe for work theme. Just never got the main one done. In addition to that one doing a Horizontal postbit theme with the post controls laid out like vBulletin for the old whiners who haven't settled on the post number link and post date being in a weird place. That and I know fast always wanted the Horizontal Postbit and maybe still does.

no worries. I've adjusted. Pretty low on the priority list.
