I haven't tried it yet, but @AndyB suggested a simple workaround - 2.3 allows you to add "variations" to a theme, which is how dark mode is implemented. However, you can also choose to disable variations for a style and make that style your default: ... so by default users get a theme...

My sites all still use SparkPost, so I will be updating this addon. No guarantees as to when it will be ready though.

Yes, this is the same failed email being retried over and over - you can tell by the timestamp in the file name of the missing file. It is failing because the file doesn't exist, but it's not giving up like it should. I think this is a bug in the XF mail handling - I'll investigate further and...

@Opus X is correct - your customer token is invalid (or no longer valid) Get a new validation token from your XF customer area and update your settings in the KnownBots options.

Hi @philmckrackon does the path /home/jeepcj/public_html/community/internal_data/temp/ exist on your server and is it both readable and writable by the web server user? Basically, the user agent mailer cron task will dump all new bots to a text file in the temporary directory and then attach it...

Was there any earlier errors in the logs?

Sorry, this won't work. If you have other applications on the site (unrelated to XenForo) and they are on the same domain (not subdomains), then you can not install XenForo in the domain root, but must install it in a subdirectory. So you'd have: google.com/ = home page google.com/forum =...

The community has been operating for decades without a dark mode option so to asserting that it is my choosing not to allow this by default for guests (who are not members!) that is going to affect the growth is a pretty offensive and ignorant perspective. People don't come to my site because...

Actually it is. It's my site - I get to choose exactly how it looks and how my users interact with it. This is not a democracy - I expect to have 100% control over my site and how it looks. By asserting that the users get to choose based on their preferences gives them more agency than I...

Is your site running on HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate? I believe you also have to enable push notifications for groups in permissions, which is not on by default?

Assuming you've got quite a bit of dev work to get ready for the migration, I'd start developing / testing with XF 2.3 beta - by the time you're ready to launch, it should be out of beta and ready for production use.

Create a test user account (I have one on every forum I set up), change their user state to "Awaiting email confirmation" and then log in as that user - you'll see the message above and the link to resend account confirmation. Either way, it is <forum root>/account-confirmation/resend

Just make sure you have a functioning contact page and let the user follow up if they cannot access their account. If they log in with their account in a state of awaiting email confirmation, the forum will let them know and instruct them on how to complete activation. ... so just let them...

Yes, a simple match on claudebot should do the trick. I capture user agents from sites using my KnownBots addon so I can analyse them to identify bots - I currently have 59,540 user agents in the database. This is useful because it allows me to search the database of user agents to see whether...

I wouldn't be managing this obvious spam via the approval queue - I would be spam-banning the users themselves, which will automatically clean up all of their posts (including those in the approval queue).
