XenForo Announcements

Well, here we are with our first Have you seen thread for XenForo 2.3. It's been a long time coming, and for various reasons that we will go into later, it has changed quite a bit from what we had originally intended it to be, but it's finally ready to start showing you what's new. tl;dr: there's a video at the end of this post.

We first documented in our XenForo 1.5 End of Life Schedule a clear timeline for the end of support and updates for XenForo 1.5.
