Converted from Xenforo - Host Hunters

[AllanD]

I was playing around and converted Xenforo to Mybb then over to SMF 2.1, also moved from a subdirectory to the root. I did make a little changes to a theme but nothing to drastic. I know 2.1 is still in RC2 right now but for me it was easier to change to because of the options it has already. I did a couple mods on but not many I think 4 all together. Still thinking about the main menu in the future, or at least remove the icons. Here is a link if you want to check it out. I do want the the members here Sych0 and antechinus for the help in the graphic forum here.

Could you elaborate on what the forum is actually about?  This is necessary for this topic to be approved.

[AllanD]

Thank you I forgot to add that.

Nice work! Although, it still feels like a XenForo site with the way it's laid out

I never realized that, wonder why that stat didn't convert over when the other ones did.

I'm guessing it can be fixed by running the task to recount forum stats and totals.

WHat theme are you using btw? It looks very sharp.

Lightly modified 2.1 by the looks of things.

I tried that a couple of times and still can't get to be accurate.

Arantor is correct, I did some very basic css edits to 2.1 and a couple of mods.

Really? Because I remember when I submited the link to my forum last year with a similiar theme I was told that I should use a custom theme for it to be approved and not variations of the default on.

It is good to know that rules are applied differently per person.

There's not need to go as far as to assume such things, topics are not always approved by the same people and everyone tries their best when making the decision. I am not familiar with your showcase topic or maybe I just forgot, but I'm sure it was fairly handled.

If you have concerns, please do not air them in the topics of other members of the community.  All 2.1 showcases have been discussed at length by the Team before approvals have been made and the rules are applied equally to everybody.  Any further discussion of the matter can be raised in Site Comments, Questions, and Concerns.  Any further off topic discussion here will be deleted.

Thank you very much for pointing that out, hope it's fixed now

Doug, that was my fault of not getting approved for not reading the guidelines completely. I did modify a lot of the them as for colors and other items, also I am not done I have been working on other items to enhance the theme as well.

It's enough of a modification to the default theme that it could warrant not being called a default variation. It's very well done, imo.
