UPDATE: We successfully upgraded on May 12th, 2014.

An upgrade to NamePros is right around the corner! We are adding the finishing touches now.

In only a few days from now, when you visit NamePros.com, you will see a completely revamped Website. But don't worry, you've landed in the right place!

After months of researching the best solutions for our forums and developing them to fit our forums' needs, we are ready to migrate NamePros to a better platform and newer forum software. This new platform will allow us to rapidly develop a wide variety of tools for our members and continue to grow our community. Here are some of the benefits that members will see at launch and in the coming weeks after launch:

Thanks, but that's not the same.
Can't you introduce that back (making possible reversing the order of the posts) ?? This shouldn't be very difficult.
Please keep me posted on this.
Thanks in advance.

We've had several users request this feature on the new site, so we may add it at some point. For now, though, we need to focus on other things, like fixing any remaining bugs.

Not at the moment, however this is something on our list of things to add. There's no E.T.A. on it yet, but we will definitely get to it as soon as we get caught up with some of the higher priority tasks on the list

Just a tip, there is a plugin for that, saves you the hassle of having to code one yourself, I'll pm you the link. So far, the site looks amazing with xenforo, really sleek look. On a side note, already posted something on the xenforo forums about namepros using xenforo .

Eric,

This is not an issue more of something I noticed and wanted to see if anything can be done. When you visit the:
All Domains For Sale
Aggregate feed of all domain names listed for sale on NamePros. Shows active/open threads only.

Is there anyway to distinguish where each thread came from? What I mean is it would be great if say all the threads that are posted in the auction section had a tag saying "Auction".........and Fixed Price etc. This way it's easy to know what the terms are for each posting allowing easy navigation. I hope this makes sense and it may not be something that can be done but would be great.

Thanks for the time
Blake

Thanks @Blake, noted! Marking the forum in which each thread was posted is a bit complicated, but I'll pass that along and see what people think.
