    Whats the best add-on for paid memberships?

    Conversions are a lot higher if you offer paid membership on registration. This addon by @Painbaker works very well and allows you to offer upgrades in a visually appealing manner: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/xb-paid-registration.9608/

    Alert: Member linked to your thread/content

    When a member A quotes the post of member B they get an alert and email, because this is useful for member B. But when a member A posts a link to the post or thread of member B, then the latter does not receive an alert or email. Since we have unfurl, the linked post is displayed in the post of...

    Activity Summary needs its own bounce threshold settings due to length of time between emails and XF's 30 day reset

    Completely agreed. It would be very useful to set the bounce handler reset period. For various situations. If you have received a lot of erroneous soft bounces, then that will disrupt the whole process and being able to temporarily set a shorter reset time would avoid accounts getting set to...

    [DBTech] DragonByte Mail [Paid]

    Is it possible to create multiple digests? I can create multiple newsletters, but there doesn't seem to be an 'Add digest' button.

    [Liam W] (RIP) Member Self Delete

    I changed that so they have permission. But Im still getting reports from users who have 0 posts and get no permission error when they click the link. I dont know if it matters but I do have @Xon 's User Essentials installed, which also has account disabling features.

    IP/subnet blocked should not cause soft bounce (hotmail, live, outlook)

    That SMTP RFC information is from 2008. While the basics are the same, email and bounce handling has greatly evolved over the decades. Back then I published articles on how to manage bounce processing and prevent blacklisting. But those are no longer relevant as the internet has changed. It is...

    IP/subnet blocked should not cause soft bounce (hotmail, live, outlook)

    I would not be surprised if its the same issue. Microsoft is really coming down hard on email senders. For example they pretty much banned reputable email providers like Zoho, because their IP reputation is too low. This can be caused not only by high spam rate, but also by large volumes, not...

    IP/subnet blocked should not cause soft bounce (hotmail, live, outlook)

    I think you are correct. MS has about 13% while gmail leads with 17%. https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/email_server

    Member count settings: count bounced state users as members

    I'm validating and processing email bounces quite rigorously. This is not about a mere 1000 more or less. I have 60k members with yahoo addresses, pretty much all of which get deactivated as they always return a hard bounce. users do receive the email and some do login to re-enable their account...

    Maybe it's an idea to add a virus scanner as well.

    IP/subnet blocked should not cause soft bounce (hotmail, live, outlook)

    There are several situations where soft bounces is received for perfectly valid email addresses. This happens quite often with email providers like Microsoft which has its own sender reputation system. (hotmail, live, outlook, custom domains, etc) Microsoft hosts about 25% of all email so this...

    Security tool - Scan forum files - Hacker hunting [Paid]

    Does this scan addon files? Does this scan attachments for malicious code injection or virus?

    XFRM/XFMG navigation tabs custom positions are lost on upgrade

    After upgrade to xf 2.3.8 the navigation tabs for XFRM and XFMG get reset to default positions. If you have created custom tabs and placed the XFRM and XFMG under those. i.e. new parent or different tab name, then those navigation positions get removed and the default tabs get displayed...

    Member count settings: count bounced state users as members

    XF does not count all users as members. Users which do not have a valid user state are not counted as members. There is some logic to this, because it makes no sense to count users that have never completed registration or those who were rejected or disabled or awaiting approval. But it does not...
