Thanks for the info. I can't say I am too sad about that

At what length of time would you guess that a dormant member should be treated as deadwood?
With vBulletin at this site, I routinely edit out the automatically inserted white space before and after lists to compensate for the padding that occurs when the post is previewed or submitted.
So, for example, https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=20491139#post20491139 (with just one line space before and after lists was the result of markup such as this:

Will the same compensation removal of automatically added white space be appropriate following the migration?
If not, then I can change my habits (cease to remove white space) now
Hy Arn, I was just thinking... Are PMs being migrated too? I know a lot of people send serial numbers and the lot when doing exchanges in the marketplace. Would be a good idea to get people to do the backups.
Yep, PMs are being migrated.

You would still need to edit out the whitespace if using BBCode,
If you have an example in an older post, I can see how it renders on Xenforo.
but note that the editor in XenForo uses WYSIWYG by default (can be turned off). …
XenForo converts non-breaking spaces to regular spaces.
Here are vBulletin and xenForo comparisons of sections of that post.An example of an older post with a list

Here are vBulletin and xenForo comparisons of sections of that post.
I should probably suggest, configure things to not default to all italic for quoted text.
Assuming that general implementation (but not the theme) will be comparable to the implementation at XenForo Community
Inappropriate loss of white space from code
https://xenforo.com/community/threa...sp-nbsp-nbsp-nbsp-nbsp-nbsp.3864/#post-868542 exemplifies the potential for breakage of code loss of leading white space from two of ten lines. The losses are normal spaces, not nonbreaking.
Can the same problem be avoided at MacRumors?
Should I report a bug to the developers of XenForo?
No comparable problem with the current implementation of vBulletin:
Code:i) one ii) two iii) three iv) four v) five vi) six vii) seven viii) eight ix) nine x) ten
I replied there with the same and it seemed to work.

… As for non-breaking spaces, I'm not sure that's possible. … What would the use case be?

I do plan on opening up a test migration sandbox
How's that going?
Thanks
Pretty much as you'd expect. Here's your post and signature in XenForo style. Click to zoom.

The standard avatar size may (this not a guarantee) be increased to 100x100, circular instead of square. That produces a more up-to-date look, although you get fewer visible pixels for the same width and height.Just one more question, what will the avatar size be after the switch? 75x75 is really looking cramped compared to other forums I've seen.

If you embed a 70x70 square avatar inside a 100x100 circle it will just fit.Circular avatars? I don't really like the idea of discarding pixel information in the corners. Also, what will happen with an image that is not perfectly square, like mine? I certainly wouldn't want it to end up looking like this:
If you embed a 70x70 square avatar inside a 100x100 circle it will just fit.
If you embed a 75x75 square avatar inside a 100x100 circle it will lose about 15 pixels in each corner, out of a total of 5625 pixels, so 99% of the avatar will still be visible. To fit 100% of the pixels, the circle would have to be 106x106 pixels.
I think the best plan is to design or choose an avatar that fits the new size and shape, once we know what they turn out to be.
