The editor in 2.2 doesn't appear to work with the escape trick, so I can't have my [test] user show up in the tagging autocomplete here at all. Testing with manual BBCode, appears to work: @[test], but does not trigger any notifications for this user so is not functionally equivalent.

I believe it's not possible to tag users using square brackets in their names, is this a bug? For reproduction purposes, i've tried creating the user on [test] on this forum but it has not yet been accepted. Using the [user] bbcode does work, but does not have great UX. With the Froala editor...

Yeah, we've restricted custom titles to a certain post count and account age to limit the ability of abuse. It's a popular feature and the minimal abuse we see is mostly mild trolling. The same applies for usernames, avatars, signatures etc. though. The username+blacklist isn't perfect but in...

There is a "Disallowed Custom Titles" blacklist, but it doesn't work well as there is a near infinite number of permutations that use similar looking unicode characters. Users can exploit this to impersonate moderators, pretend to be banned etc. Would it be possible for this to be expanded to...

I believe this reported issue might either be caused by this addon, or can at least be reproduced with it with this addon: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/change-activity-text-when-user-viewing-own-warning.171825/ Has anyone else seen it and is it a bug with this addon?

We have an offtopic section and the threads in there have varying degrees of useful discussion, we also have some political topics occasionally. A user has requested the ability to filter specific threads from Whats New, and I think it's a decent request that there's no decent work around at...

We put a message telling users to contact us via an external means if they thought the ban was in error or clear cookies/use a different browser to view the site as a guest. I find it odd that even logging out is prevented for banned users as it's so easy to circumvent.

I wish to have an "Other" option for radio button/checkbox custom user fields on registration and an associated free text entry box. I think this can be achieved by adding a separate custom user field, but ideally it should either not be visible or be empty if Other isn't selected and be...

Found an interesting possible bug, it's likely with XenForo's guest page caching itself but thought i'd just check here first: If you have multiple styles setup, guests won't be able to change the style as the page will always revert to the cached default style. With good timing, you can also...

I'm hoping to convert my tables over to UTF8mb4 using the provided conversion script, but i'm just curious about what that involves and how "safe" the process is. Is it safe to run the script while the forum is still active, should it be done in a quiet period if so etc.?

Slavik recently helped us move a forum with around 6 million posts and over 500k members from VB 4.X to XF 2.1. As far as i'm aware, the forum had been on vbulletin since the early 2000s. Slavik was able to accomodate a slightly non standard migration process (as we were redoing a whole website...

Thanks! This will do, but it would be nice if I could use relative urls in some way for links and images.

I'm planning on going live with an XF 2.1 forum + website this weekend but have hit a problem that we didnt notice when testing (possibly as we tested on XF 2.0). I have some xenforo pages with images on them setup with html as below: <img src="images/img.jpg"> Where images is a folder in the...

We're hoping to show a filtered down version of one the XFRM widgets in many sections on our forum (e.g. for forum section A, show top resources for resource section A), is there any efficient way of doing this? Note that there'd be no link from the resource section to the forum section. Beyond...

How can I create links to other pages and forum sections from a page in XenForo 2? The following works for pages, but i'm not sure if it's correct: <a href="{{ link('pages/name/') }}">Name</a> But the following does not work for forums and adds in a "/-/": <a href="{{...
