LINGUAHOLIC.COM GETS A NEW FACE SOON

DEAR MEMBERS AND VISITORS of Linguaholic.com

I proudly would like to announce that linguaholic.com will be changing to new forum software, soon. The site has been running on SMF (Simple Machines Forum Software) since day one and the overall experience with it was fantastic. However, as SMF basically is an open source forum software (and therefore free), it comes with some limitations and is probably not always up-to-date in terms of Design, User Friendliness and Features. Moreover, it is really difficult to offer the members a member-friendly mobile access to the page. As more and more members of linguaholic.com access the page with a mobile device, it is our top priority to ensure a mobile friendly environment. This is very hard to achieve with SMF and therefore we decided to move to IPB. IPB offers amazing forum software and has many mobile-friendly themes on the market.

As for existing members of linguaholic.com, we do try to make the switch to IPB Software as smooth as possible. All individual posts, Ranks and Titles are supposed to be taken over to the new Software and should display in the same way it was the case with SMF. So if everything works out well, nothing will change with your member account!

We will keep everyone updated about this change to IPB. Due to this change, linguaholic.com will be down for some time, soon. So if you are trying to access linguaholic.com and get an error, don't worry. The page will be up again as soon as possible (we are talking about 24 hours to a couple of days here, not more).

I hope you will all enjoy the change to the new forum Software!

Best wishes

Linguaholic

Problems solved, Trellum? I think so :=)

I am so happy about the forum software update. Everything looks and feels so STATE-OF-THE-ART now. Well, almost everything. We are still on the standard theme now, but we are working on a great custom theme. Will be up in a few weeks the latest. Really looking forward to it. 

For those of you who use mobile devices for accessing the website, I am pretty positive that everything got much easier/faster and prettier now. IPB forum software is amazing for access from mobile devices. That was the main reason for the switch to the new software anyway. Hopefully you guys all are enjoying this change! I really do, that's for sure :smile:

I haven't been on the forum in a few months and was surprised to see the new updates! The forum is looking really sleek now!  You guys did a great job! So happy to contribute to this forum and excited to see where it goes in the future.

It's been a while since I last used IP.Board.
Since I became very convenient with PHP and MySQL, I started making my own web apps and never looked back at 3rd party applications again (with only one exception).

But I like IP.Board more than SMF at least.

I'm actual wondering how the forum used to look, as I've only recently joined it...can anyone post a screenie? :)

Are you OK with a time machine too?

It's been sooooo long since I've been on here, but it's nice to be back. The new forum layout is nice and much cleaner than the old one (from what I remember).

Since this event already happened, I think I'll lock this topic to prevent any further confusion.
