Was it a DNS issue? It took down a couple sites that we use at work but I haven't looked into details yet. I have considered it but given our size, it kind of seems like overkill , even free. On the other hand, if it can cut down the number of bots hammering us, maybe worth trying at least free.

Well, I'm self-hosted so even if Xenforo ceases, my site will be still be operational (big argument against cloud, by the way), buying me time to look into alternatives. If a dev was going to pick up doing maintenance and fixes, then I'd happily pay for that. In the end we are a small site...

Yes but that's a question better asked in Questions and Support.

Decades? Even 2.0 was less than a decade ago given my board is 11 years old and went live on 1.3.(forget). Let's drop the hyperbole, okay? Or are you being sarcastic here?

Xenforo has always worked fine with either MariaDB or MySQL as far as I know. We've running MariaDB for years, also because that's what our shared hosting provides.

My dev site has always had it. Same setup as yours but protected with passwords using .htaccess instead of CloudFlare. It has never been a problem so I just ignore it. Helps remind me which ACP I am in.:giggle:

As I said, you'd be playing whack-a-mole. Block this IP and a day later, another bot (or the same one) pops up from a different one. They mostly run in the cloud, not on static servers, so it is easy for them to move around. Let the pros like CloudFlare deal with that game. Yes, bots may be...

CloudFlare will block them as I understand it and would be a better approach. For Xenforo to do so is going to be a game of whack-a-mole and someone like CloudFlare is better positioned to play that game since they can update continuously. If Xenforo included such a feature, within weeks if not...

Funny. That's how I felt after building mine.:LOL: That's nowhere close to what he said. He simply said Cloud is "booming". And that's no surprise. There's a good reason Adobe, MS, and other big software firms have embraced SaaS over traditional software sales and licensing. It's a steady...

Very nice. What's your hourly? Mine looks like hell (it is around 20 years old).😁

It could open the door to some use cases for their cloud that might not come up if the forum was the focus. Maybe some web apps and things like that could be built and hosted on their cloud. I doubt my company's new web app could go that route (very big and complex and we need Canadian data...

Except they were pretty clear that 2.4 was coming in Q1 of this year, which is now long behind us. That's why there's so much discontent over the lack of any news. Based on statements made early in the process, we were supposed to be on 2.4 by now. Once that was said, communication about why...

Then do a new bug report. Old bug reports that are closed as Fixed aren't monitored.

It says it was implemented in 2.2.8 which was quite a while ago. If you're on a current release (2.3), best to open a new bug report since this one is closed. If you're on a version of 2.2 prior to 2.2.8, then you need to upgrade to get the fix.

Thanks both, that's exactly what it was. Guess I haven't had a reason to look for it since that change.
