    Does switching software affect your members?

    Once I was part of a really nice myBB based niche forum. And, the forum owner changed to SMF and then Xenforo. I loved the original forum so much, it was difficult to adjust to the change. Almost wish I'd found her forum after she converted to Xenforo not before as it's a really great software. But it was so different to use from Xenforo. It was like starting over. Did you ever find that your members had trouble adjusting to a new forum software after an upgrade?

    If you're upgrading from a free to paid software, your users will have many more advantages. For instance, Xenforo is so much easier to use than many of the free software. It might actually be beneficial to upgrade rather than detrimental.

    I don't see a reason why you would want to switch forum software, except for an upgrade to a superior software. In that situation, the upgrade will only benefit your forum community. Best idea is to pick one software and stick to it.
