XenForo is annoying to deal with but the bad thing is that we HAVE to leave eventually because they terminated our proprietary license agreement. ANY time I spend on this code is ultimately wasted and delays the rewrite.
It just has you leave. The way that leaving DMs works is so fucking obnoxious and stupid and I have no idea what they're going for. I really don't see a way that lets a user re-invite themselves to a DM without just allowing users to perpetually re-invite users into DM chains after they leave (undesirable).
Damn, that sucks. KF might be the best message board I've seen, even with its technical issues. The number of sites that work like they don't want to be browsed is steadily increasing by the year, so KF really stands out.
Just a few months ago I asked on four (!) diffent forums if they knew how I could register a Google account without giving them my phone number. The result? Locked, banned, shadowbanned, deleted, obliterated, circumcised. Not the case here.
Here's hoping that the next software package is as good as XenForo!
