Better content discovery built into the search functions.
WIth XenForo you have the powerful feature of custom fields that can be used throughout it (the forum, XFRM, XFMG, 3rd party addons like from XenAddons)... but they simply can't be searched upon. So much possibility there that has been ignored by the developers for so long, even after it being suggested in their suggestion area and apparently still ignored even after the most recent "search update" that they did. I've commented several times about going that little extra distance in offering a a feature... but we see the real results in what are offered.

Custom fields for everything is very powerful!

Is there the ability to sort / filter by these custom fields?

Not that I've seen. As I said, they ignore one of the strongest features that they have for content discovery.
 
I'd like to move to Invision, if I had the money to I would move Thee Zone over. I love Woltlab Suite, but Invision is the best forum software on the market IMO. There's so many features that come with the software that I could use to benefit my community. The clubs could help declutter my forum, the gallery could be for members to share random pictures they've either created or taken. The pages plugin is probably more feature rich than Woltlab's CMS.
