    Implemented Please, please, for the love of Pete, bring back lists/bullet points.

    Thank you. Prior to the version I'm using now, the list feature was automatically included in the post task bar. I didn't realize that in the current version, the task bar is configurable. We've been moving a whole lotta folks from dying hand-built (and unsupported) classroom software to a...

    LOL! Thanks. I would never have thought of that as either BBcode or Button management. I think of it as text formatting.

    For the love of god, someone make a force block / ignore add-on

    My fix on that was in the terms of service. No politics. No religion. No personal attacks. I make sure folks know about it, and I make sure I enforce it. I have more than seven thousand members, and I've had to enforce those terms to the point of removing TWO people in the last fifteen years...

    Thank you. Could not find that in the documentation.

    The future of forums (vs social media)

    I think your premise is mistaken. People who flit from thing to thing, who share pictures with relatives or complete strangers, and who live on their phones love social media. For those of us who work inside a forum and use it for teaching, social media is a distraction, a waste of time that...

    Implemented Please, please, for the love of Pete, bring back lists/bullet points.

    You still have the LIST dropdown on your forum, so you must realize they have a purpose: Like enumerating issues Or explaining steps to a process Or listing why you're pissed off that someone broke your software I teach on my forum. I need to use bullet points/lists, with indents and...

    Other Learning management system integration

    I'm moving from a home-brew classroom software to LifterLMS, and have used Xenforo integrated with that by my developer since I first bought your forum in 2015. LifterLMS is already a done deal: in my case, I had huge specific needs for classrooms that were only offered by Lifter. So my option...

    XF 1.5 Alternatives for built in search that DON'T require changing my hosting?

    Trying to sign up for Threadloom. This looks like an excellent solution if they can get their email validation working.

    XF 1.5 Alternatives for built in search that DON'T require changing my hosting?

    I'll run this past my developer and see if it's something we can do. Thank you. If your livelihood depended on site uptime and fast, personal customer service from a small, dedicated team of folks who know you by name and have worked with you for years, (none of whom have quit, all of whom...

    XF 1.5 Alternatives for built in search that DON'T require changing my hosting?

    My folks are fiction writers, and talk shop. Pretty much ONLY shop. So a search engine that responds to most searches with "The following words were not included in your search because they are too short, too long, or too common:" when the too-common words are the core words in most discussions...

    XF 1.5 Alternatives for built in search that DON'T require changing my hosting?

    My host does not offer dedicated VPN server hosting. I like my host (read "I am a fanatical flag-waving fan-girl for my host -- best host ever -- who I've been with since the early 2000s), and my users and I are stuck with the very bad built-in Xenforo search, and unable to upgrade to the very...

    XF 1.4 Broken group assignment on registration

    My developer hasn't touched this. I set it up. I integrated it with DAP (Digital Access Pass)/WordPress for about three days, then killed the integration, deleted WordPress for being the devil, and closed DAP until such time as I have a non-evil CMS to use it with. Because I had a protected...

    XF 1.4 Broken group assignment on registration

    I set up a new user for myself. TestBob was added directly to Member (group 5), and was not added to Registered (group 2).
