Welcome to xenForo 2.2.13

[Carlos]

Today, I came into extra funds, so I was able to purchase a renewal of my xenForo license for CoDForums.com, but I can't take all the credit. Thanks to @Archangel72 for his donation, his donation was instrumental to getting the renewal done. There's not much to speak of, but we did upgrade to xenForo 2.2.13 which came with a few upgrades. Two features I thought are great and you can see the release announcement here.

If you browse the forums via iphone you will have extra features available to you...

Full iOS PWA compatibility with push notification support​

iOS 16.4 finally introduced push notifications for iOS devices. To facilitate this, your members need to install your site as a PWA (by utilising the Add to Home Screen feature in Safari). XenForo 2.2.13 now satisfies all of the prerequisites for this to support push notifications which can be enabled by your members once they log in through the PWA and enable push notifications in their Preferences.

The PWA (progressive web app) has now been enhanced with additional gesture based or UI controls, including pull down to refresh and a floating back button.

Next up, is not something users will immediately see, but if they search the site... well they may see CoDForums much easier...

Structured data metadata improvements​

With many thanks to Ryan Levering from Google we have made a number of improvements to structured data metadata. Structured data enriches the pages we output with additional information which enables Google and other search engines to better understand the structure of the information that is rendered. This helps Google provide rich search results and helps provide additional context to users who may find your content during their Google searches.

Metadata has been in place for a while now, but this is now going to be recognized by Google.

This is the first of a few updates coming in the next week or so. We're moving servers soon. I am at a point where I am getting more and more frustrated with the host I am with. I've made the decision to abandon the old host and go to the new host. It will be a bumpy ride, but this needs to be done. The server is doing exactly what I intended for it to do, but I am getting annoyed with their hidden this, and hidden that. I pulled my last straw. I am making this message over here just to give you guys a heads up.

I liked Xenforo when I used it for my site. Also used Invision Power Board and liked it too. Xenforo was definitely nicer to work with behind the scenes.
