I am not sure xenforo template allows that or not.

Hi @Raaabo
I think the branding removal part is mis-understood, Can you check with support once
Can you try navigating the admin page > Appearance > Style Properties > Basic Options > Logo Url and change the path to different image on the server. I think this will be enough to change the logo.

But i read that it will violate tnc of xenforo if we manually change the logo somehow without paying $140/250.

I would suggest
1.Advertise this forum in the dgit mag, and remove the fasttrack AD about this forum. The fasttrack AD look dated and ugly which is the primary reason many think this forum is a old clunky place. Also I would suggest removing the presence of "Indian" from the ADs as it suggests that this is a place just to made to cater to Indians, a cash grab attempt to lure Indians.Try to phrase it as a feature instead of lable of this forum. Make the forum look lively and "modern", in the digit mag.
1'. While advertisements are all nice and well, they are NOTHING as compared to casually talking about the forum. If you truly like the community of this forum, put it in digit diary.
2.Also suggest people to ask advice from here in addition to agent001.
3.You should also give discussion snippets in the mag, like you did for the telegram group, it was much effective I think.
These all are the things that could have got myself in the forum, but since they obviously weren't there I got "lured in" by a mod (@Desmond David) here, instead of getting curious about this forum from the mag itself. I speak from the perspective from a newer member instead of a veteran one.
Now about the more serious/tough changes.
-:
1. This is not friendly for a beginner, signing up is confusing (gmail signup already pls!). Now if you piss off a new member just on the signup screen, then, well, it would be hard to get new members won't it?
2. The UI is not there.
a)The whole UI looks dated to me, the dark mode is hard to notice and change into and it even makes many things invisible. The white theme, does NOT look pleasing.
b)In addition to that, the page looks cluttered like an RTS game, with 10s of buttons on a single page, and they won't do anything to just "blend in" in the UI, instead of popping out.
c) Why do the new button and the create button look so insignificant? I still sometimes can't find the new and create buttons, not they are not big and not colourful, but they are not in proper place.
d) There is duplication of several buttons, the top menu bar being the culprit.
3. If you can get a separate domain for this forum, please do. The geek.digit.in site has a specific purpose and UI now, and this forum doesn't look like a part of it at all. Don't trust me? Just click the "Home" button now.
Now the third aspect of the suggestion is ur revenue from this forum. Now the first thing is to take note is that its a cycle, if you make this forum good, more people would come here, which would make you improve this forum more, which would get more people and the cycle goes on. Just make sure that this forum IS a good idea, not in 2003, but today. If you able to get sponsors on board who want to publish their ads on this forum, accept their deals. One thing I noted that, there is a lack of advertisments in this forum, like I didn't see much difference when I turned my adblocker off here. Maybe this points to a technical problem, but I would suggest you to increase the volume of (quality) ads on this forum.
In summary a)Harp about this forum b) make the UX better c) Increase the quantity of quality ads.
I think it's valid to maintain this as an Indian forum since anyone from outside India might not be privy to Indian market situation, availability of products, etc. Not gonna lie, this is an India first forum. While foreigners are allowed to make accounts here, in my experience most of them are spammers and they are usually promptly banned when encountered.
Yeah, we have some very experienced members here who are very knowledgeable about PC builds, laptop, mobile advice, etc.
They do it for some threads. But the shortened URLs expire after sometime.
These points are generally the same for most forums. Perhaps there might be more themes that might add visibility. But then again these points are by and large the issue with Xenforo and not with this forum in particular. However, I still think that a user can get accustomed to a lot of these features.
This will break some plugins, that is why the domain cannot be changed at this time. That being said I used to like the old thinkdigit.com/forum URL.
Digit does not make any revenue from the forum. This forum is actually a money sink if anything. It's just kept alive by their good graces for regular members.

Well, these were my thoughts when I was Digit describing this forum as India's forum, but it seems digit itself is moving away from that identity of the forum, describing it as "One of the most active online tech forum not only in India but world-wide".
Well, yeah I was avoiding saying "XENFORO". These are not problems in forums like LTT though. I made an account just to check
. How can their "new" and "create" button be so small, yet so easy to find?What features? I was talking about bad placement of UI elements and duplicate ways to do the same task.
Oh. Well, I don't think that the confusing domain is a fixable problem then, maybe removal of "Home" button would be helpful though?
Yeah, I was saying that they should, just to avoid making this project a money sink. I can't suggest them ways to make more money, but take that LLT forum for example, he is using that from to advertise his videos, alongwith putting other ads.

Well, the difference between telegram and whatsapp group is that, telegram group is the official one, with dgit editors as its admins ( to listen to the feedbacks). The group is, arguably, active.Its primary purpose being, people to interact with digit team, to give them feedback about the mag. Its unofficially also a place to hang out with forum members and dgit subscribers.
We currently don't have many members(113 to be exact) so currently, Desmonddavid(from the forum) with occasional help from the digit staff maintain it.

It seems non-login users no longer see our Forum Signatures. Might be a theme issue with the default light theme.

There are two telegram groups, one is unofficial having some old members created long time back. Another is the official one created by Raaabo.

Yeah, the link for the official group was shared in the magazine I think at one point.

Then why this forum isn't featured in the magazine? Weird. I remember years back when @Allu Azad post from the forum was printed in the digit magazine, everyone liked it here.
Is the telegram group that active or productive??
Or is it more like they want their presence in smartphone area but since they don't have dedicated app they went for Telegram group?
