Yes, at the moment all will be removed afaik

Problem is, most of the archived material links back to the forum itself

I wish him well. Great guy. Now life goes on and I like the fact that this forum stays the focus of all xara related discussions. One place, One location

Well if XaraXone is down in this forum itself and now XU too, that does not sound as a good direction.

Well, it's sort-of still there.

Yes the possibility is there for XaraXone, but it seems Magix not too much care about it.

It is pity because the Xara Designer Pro X11 is the best ever version in my opinion, it is so good without crashes and with million of functions, and exactly in this year there is no XaraXone.

Which was always a great place to try and speak through the new functions, regularly month by month

csehz - The responsibility for managing and providing content for the Xara Xone has been taken over by Magix, Xara's parent company.

Many of us were not very happy about this. Gary Bouton was doing a very excellent job. But Magix thinks they can do a better job.

Sledger is by a very long chalk the most prolific poster on TG, outstripping both Gary P and Bill Taylor (aka Soquili). It is not just the quantity of Steve's posts, but the quality of his advice, which is always first class. His input within this forum has been second to none. Further to this, due to undue interference by Xara/Magix, he has set-up, run & posted many more posts on XU, a forum he set up himself.

Eventually he has withdrawn from posting on TG all together over the recent year (?), again due to internal TG politics, which is TG's very sad loss.

I miss his very precise input to our forum. It's very much Xara's and TG's loss.

I wish Steve the best for the future, ask him to reconsider posting to TG, as his input is much missed.

Finally "Thanks Sledger" for your fantastic help re Xara over all these years
