I just completed a migration from an old Knownhost server to a new Knowhost server. The elasticsearch was setup on the new server. But, when I try to rebuild the search index via cli or the Xenforo backend, it ends up crashing. It could be a RAM issue perhaps. I've been using...

To be clear, what I mean is that I had over a million different pages on my vbulletin site. If someone typed in the url for that forum page it would get redirected to the same forum page on xenforo. Not sure if I was clear on that or not. I need to somehow find out how it is done, else I could...

I am with knownhost and will be downgrading my hosting with them to a cheaper package. Since my forum was initially in vbulletin, I had it migrated to xenforo, and the urls redirected. My concern is that when I downgrade my hosting, I do not know how those urls are redirected. Are they inside...

Ok, deleted and hoping for the best! Thanks for the advice.

Do all the attachments, user icons etc get moved across to a different folder too when you do the import?

I had an old vbulletin 3.8 site. Everything was brought across to my xenforo setup, and urls redirected. There is still the old vbulletin db sitting in the myself section in cpanel. Is it safe to delete this or will I lose all those redirects? I don't know how it works so fear that maybe the...

I think we will have to disagree on this one. All I am looking for is for how to do it, rather than if I should do it or not. I think Andy's plugin is what I will go with.

She was a super moderator and has the highest post count on my forum. But over the last couple of years has become super toxic. I was getting numerous complaints from members. So, I said that all the members are moderated, but no one is moderating the moderators! And therefore I want a specific...

She is more likely to do it if I don't delete her posts. There may be things that I have done wrong or are not aware of. Or she could report a post, say she is not happy with the response and then report me to Ofcom. There are 1.7 million posts on my forum. I'm sure she has endless fodder.

Thanks @AndyB, I was looking at that plugin. I'm running the site on a shoestring which was why I was looking at a no cost solution, but you do have an excellent site that I signed up to once before.

She is a difficult person. She will start reporting me to Ofcom etc. if I don't delete the posts. I know she will.

I've tried the spam cleaner but get an error. It removed all the threads started just fine, but when trying to remove posts it fails. I already agreed with them that I would delete all their posts.

A member has become disgruntled and so wants all their posts deleted. How do I delete this large number of posts? Regards, Jon

In my Spam Management section I have the following: /^http(|s):\/\/\S+/si www // It is to stop new members from spamming. However, users are complaining that if they reply to a post, that post may contain a url and then the spam filter gets triggered, thus confusing the new user. They are...

Has anyone created a list of banned words so that certain topics cannot get discussed on the forums, and the banned words are replaced with ***? Just wondering if this can help with the Online Safety thing.
