New Tradingeye community forum
Monday, July 12th, 2010In case you hadn’t noticed, we have a brand new community forum! New platform, new design, new features.
Based on myBB, the new Tradingeye forum offers the community a great place to discuss all things Tradingeye.
A huge thanks goes out to one of our forum admins, Jordan Smith http://forum.tradingeye.com/user-960.html for having generously offered to perform the work for our members and our team.
Jordan has been a huge help and you can find a few questions we asked him
below:
1) Can you tell us a little about your company?
Jet Hosts – Lightning fast web solutions (www.jethosts.co.uk). I am a web designer and a Server Administrator and of course a Tradingeye forum admin!
2) What made you chose Tradingeye?
Tradingeye is a great e-commerce platform both for me as a designer but also for my clients. All the design can be done via the CSS and the admin panel is intuitive. The SEO and marketing features are also a joy to work with.
3) Why another forum?
The previous Tradingeye forum was running www.vbulletin.com which was very bloated and not standards friendly not to mention the growing numbers of spammers! The Tradingeye community has over 12,000 members now so it was time for a change. I put the idea to Tradingeye to use www.mybb.com as I had previous experience with this platform and they agreed.
4) Can you describe the work you did?
Firstly the new forum hot to be setup then we performed the data migration.
All threads, posts and members had to be seamlessly ported over to the new platform. Once this had been done I re-skinned the theme, installed a few plugins such as www.stopforumspam.com and voila!
