    A question on hosting a small forum for friends

    I have been running a small forum for about twenty years for a group of internet friends who have all known each other since 2004. We have about fifty users, and ran vBulletin until about say 2019 or so when we switched to Xenforo. I was paying about $120 in hosting for a small VPS every 60 or...

    XF 2.2 Is there a up to date guide on how to duplicate your site for testing purposes?

    Hello! I have a Xenforo forum that was previously a vBulletin forum. The forum has been around for about 15 years in various forms and has a few million posts and the database is several gigabytes. So we don't do upgrades super often until we are very ready to do them. I am also the sole admin...

    Xenforo 2.1 Server Requirements

    I could have sworn that a couple features of 2.1 are going to require some newer versions of PHP perhaps? But now I'm not finding where I saw that, has anyone seen what versions of PHP, and other software stack items etc are recommended?

    s9e Media BBCodes pack

    I searched the thread but found some conflicting reports, I excluded a couple sites because we don't care for the embed like Amazon and Gofundme, however now they just are a blank space in the post. They aren't showing anything. Any ideas?

    Moving from a managed VPS to an unmanaged service like Linode.

    Hello all, I've been running a VPS hosted forum for about 15 years now and I am pretty comfortable with Cpanel and WHM etc. I've been using Knownhost for quite a while and have been pleased, I pay $99 every 3 months for this service and have had to use the customer service about once a year...

    s9e Media BBCodes pack

    Has anyone had any issues lately with sites like Twitter and imgur getting cut in half when embedding? I'm trying to figure out if it's my style that's doing it. That's an embedded tweet that includes a video. Edit: Hmm partially solved it, it's the click image for full size feature. I added...

    I think it might have been this resource that used to let you embed Giantbomb.com videos, but now it just inserts the videos default image and no controls. Any thoughts?

    XF 1.3 Disable all the smilies appearing when you reply to a thread?

    Hello, my forum has tons of smilies and I'm sure I'm missing it but when you reply to a thread and click in the editor to start typing, all of our smilies appear by default, is there a way to not have that happen until you click the smilie button in the editor? Thanks!

    Anything to know before converting from vB 4.2 -> Xenforo?

    I've read most of the faq's and things. But I'll be moving a forum that has, Threads 53,857 Posts 1,756,245 Members 1,108 from vBulletin 4.2.0. Any quirks I should know about moving that many posts and threads? I'll also hopefully be moving all our files, avatars, attachments. The forum is 7...
