I'm on XF Cloud and it's actually faster. I've got many add-ons installed, too. https://nerdzone.uk

It is expensive, alas.

Yeah, shouldn't be too hard to do, but that stability explanation is what I've heard on here. I'm not disagreeing with you either, I think having the choice would be great and shouldn't break the bank to implement it.

That would be nice, but I think it's fixed for maximum stability.

I get your frustration and I'm glad to say it's just the opposite for me with AndyB's add-ons. The subscription is great value, they all work well and the customer support is superb. If I have a query, Andy may even reply within minutes. Heck, he even created an add-on just for me the other day...

Oh yes that can happen and I've done sillies like that too. It's called the human condition. :p I was giving just one example as I've seen this done on my forum and it wasn't a mistake with less savoury users. Other than this, would you consider my suggestion?

Interesting. Since a user needs a valid email address to register on the forum and activate the account, then they must have changed it later and either made a typo, or did it intentionally to prevent all alerts. This is pretty stupid and has now locked them out of their account. Presumably you...
