"Bilking" implies deceit, and I don't appreciate the accusation. I've worked with forum/cms platforms, Linux and software development since the 1990s and built/supported hundreds of Xenforo communities, including client referrals from Xenforo staff.

Yes, changing a single font size in CSS can be trivial. However, a 1:1 typography match from Vanilla to Xenforo isn't "change a number". The non-trivial part is matching the Vanilla platform's many page types and each type's varying element level font sizes to Xenforo's style system properties in a 1:1 way. That means mapping dozens of individual element font sizes to the correspond style property setting in Xenforo (there are hundreds to go through). Then validating the results as each change is made.

To protect the client's budget, I took a pragmatic approach by adjusting global font sizes and font face to improve readability without the greater number of hours required for 1 to 1 parity everywhere.

Converting from one business's shit to another is always going to be painful.

AWS has the ability to make tools to make this less painful. They are still painful even from them.

These companies it will always be a shit show.

Converting hundreds of magic strings sucks in most situations.
 
Well I love the new format and am super impressed with how smooth this upgrade (and it clearly is an upgrade) has been

Kudos to all that have been involved!

My only disappointment is that I seem to have lost all of my points… I think I had like 3,800 or so and I was planning on redeeming them for that cool aqua colored Hamilton beach hand mixer that I saw in the catalogue when I got to 4,000. I know, Into every life a little rain must fall, but still

The dry "I don't appreciate that" nowadays is almost funnier than a casual "get fucked" or "fuck off" reply.

I never addressed that issue with him. I constantly handed him long lists of things to work on, and he proceeded down those lists.
