Hi guys, 
 
It's been a whirlwind 48 hours for us and engaging with you guys here has just validated how incredible this community is. "Thank you" could not be said enough.

There are a lot more questions which have been asked that I will be able to give answers to in the week ahead so appreciate you all being patient. Understanding feature requests and ideas is really important to all of us as we define the product roadmap - so we'll be figuring out the right way to gather as much information as to what would be important to prioritise. 
 
Related to this... and the most important question we all need answered: 
 
Would anyone mind if we moved from APG to an alternative forum framework provider? 
 
Someone recommended XenForo in a thread, I'm also a fan of Invision Community - but this is something we could act on quite quickly in parallel while we're in the process of sorting everything else out 
 
I'm thinking it could be really valuable for us to do this quickly and with a fresh start, so I would like to migrate this forum into a locked "legacy" forum so no-one loses their posts and historical helpful info - but not needing to migrate threads would simplify things to no end.
 
Happy to hear your thoughts!

p.s Sorry if you were hoping for something more serious, that will come soon :-)
 

I'm also asking this because for the life of me I can't figure out how to change my avatar photo...

I think that is a great idea

Move it.  I will follow.

As Odin said to Thor
"Asgard is not a place, it's a people. And its people need your help."

Figure it as a fresh start. Just please keep a forum open. One thing I can say is that cakewalk forum was one active place.

A forum update/refresh is long overdue, but I'd be careful about making immediate changes before the news of your ownership has disseminated. FWIW, people are used to checking stickies/pinned threads like this one.

Go into User Control Panel (top-right corner on my screen), then find Avatar/Profile Photo options under Edit Profile. ;)

If I read you correctly, everything here will be preserved somehow, but no longer "live," and a new forum will be started someplace else. There have probably been some (a few) occasions where an issue has been solved months or even years after the original thread is started, so that would not happen again. But it's OK with me if a new forum is started. As CEO, you should know that we give each other tech support here, which will save the company money and help maintain CSI.
EDITED TO ADD: Maybe you could find a platform for the legacy threads and the new posts where the search function works.

If you change the forum software, which would be great, Vbulletin would be an excellent choice..
