Good evening everyone! Welcome back to the new-and-improved OC.net, hosted now using the XenForo platform (versus our former SMF platform).
You'll notice that there are lots of differences in how this platform feels compared to the older one, and there are some similarities.
I encourage you to "kick the tires" on the various systems - notifications (click the bell icon near the top-right, then choose "Preferences"), "Conversations" (the new version of private messages), and more.
I'm sure there are some parts of the older SMF that you may prefer better than the new XenForo stuff. I'm sympathetic - nothing here is perfect. But if you encounter genuine usability issues or glitches, feel free to start a Conversation with both @Anastasios and myself.
Oh: And thank you for your patience. This is new for everyone - members, Moderators, GMs, and Administrators - and so we appreciate your understanding as we all figure things out. We may need to adjust the layout, rules, etc. as we adapt our 16-year-old forum with 1.6-ish million posts to its new home.
Thank you for your prayers for us moving forward! Wishing you a blessed evening,
Your servant in His vineyard,
