We are about to move onto a new branch of the XenForo forum software, version 1.5.0.
These are the times when you feel a bit a bit of anticipation about having new features, but you also feel a sense of apprehension, wondering what bits and bobs are going to end up 'breaking' in the upgrade.
I am putting out a call for some individuals who would be interested in doing some testing on a sandbox site. I have a test site, with a current version of the software running on it. Once XF 1.5 is available as a public beta, I will upgrade that site, and see where things fall out.
I would like to get at least a dozen, preferably two or three dozen of our members, who would be interested in spending some time on the test site, just trying things, to see how they work. I am actually looking for someone willing to put forth a bit of effort, so if you are not interested in helping to test things, then please, do not throw your name into the hat.
However, if you are an adventuresome sort, who is willing to get in it up to your elbows, and testing things like avatars, profile posts, forum posts, Personal Conversations, etc., then you are exactly who I need to enlist. The posts are all test posts, so you can post Mother Goose rhymes if you like. The content you enter should all be considered expendable, as it will likely get rubbed out.
I have no public beta release date, but I am guessing it is 2, maybe 3 weeks out. And the beta testing will take as long as it takes. The plus to having a lot of participation, is that we have a better chance of finding any bugs, getting them reported, and getting 1.5 to a Gold release date.
If you are interested in helping out, please reply to this thread.
If you are just wanting to see what 1.5 looks like, and what it feels like, here you go - https://xenforo.com/community/threads/welcome-to-xenforo-1-5-assorted-improvements.100565/
