    XF 2.4 XenForo 2.4 status and what's new under the hood?

    My company has faithfully renewed the maintenance on our ERP system annually for two decades but it's only been in the last 6? 7? years that they've actually delivered annual feature updates. Many years, we just got patches and the annual tax updates (which did nothing for us since we weren't...

    Requesting Connected Account Information

    Sorry, so once the user connects the account, you want to be able to pull account details from Discord? That would be part of the Discord add-on, not base, so you should be asking in their thread in Resources. All connected accounts in base Xenforo does is let you set things to allow users to...

    Requesting Connected Account Information

    You just configure the connection that enables connected accounts, e.g. to Google. Then each user who wants to login with their connected account configures it in their preferences under Connected Accounts.

    Not if you use the right settings. I write using LibreOffice and its spelling and grammar checker has support for most major forms of English including Australia (I checked). Even MS supports Canadian English now, which it hasn't always. That said, I don't use tools like Grammarly so not sure...

    XF 2.4 XenForo 2.4 status and what's new under the hood?

    S That's what this Have You Seen forum is for. Some 2.4 enhancements are up already. I put a Watch on so I get notified about new posts in it. Thank you @Chris D for the update. Gives me a good sense of where you are at.

    The editor is the main reason I might do 2.4 but until I have it running on my dev, I can't say for sure. There's a good chance I'll hold for 2.4.1 or even 2.4.2 if I see even minor issues.

    I'm not judging it but my experience is that the more dramatic a change, the more work it makes for IT. And on my site, I am IT. Just look at the mad scramble to fix add-ons after the changes in 2.3 (which had little impact on me, thank God). And that was not actually a big change, even though...

    Lets be accurate here, okay. I am not against change. For instance, I actually trialed Themehouse's Feeds and would love to see something like that in Xenforo IF it can be done well and without breaking the existing functionality. I would be all over it, to be honest. All I am advocating for is...

    I might get there with 2.4. The prospect of getting my styling redone for 3.0 does not appeal to me. We run on a small operating budget and restyling will probably be double what we pay to keep the lights on. And we are not going anywhere growth-wise, just maintaining the community. So 2.4 is...

    We're more than halfway through Q2, in fact, and will soon be talking about Q3. Or is that what you meant. I generally do renew maintenance because, being in IT, I'm a stickler for keeping systems up to date. That said, I will often wait to renew until I actually need it rather than just...

    XF 2.4 general discussion, feedback, complaints, random off topic posts, etc.

    This is certainly me at this point. I am not really even that excited for 2.4. In fact, I sometimes wonder if I should have bothered with 2.3. 2.2 was the last version whose features we have really made good use of. So there's really not much for me to talk about. I mostly come by for news on...

    Which software companies are we talking about here? My experience with the software industry as a whole is that bug-free software is a pipedream and the bigger the company, the worse it gets. Every bug fixed comes with new bugs caused by the patch. And features? Most companies add the features...

    Setting up a role playing site

    Native it has a PWA (Portable Web App) which is a way to package a site so it appears as an app on your Android desktop. There are a couple devs offering customs Android apps, or used to be. Never looked into it myself. Rpg.net, one of the biggest, uses Xenforo for their forums. They don't post...

    Improve the trophy system and gamification of Xenforo

    I don't use it myself. Most of my original users were against it so the whole thing is shut off. But I know sites that do and would have no problem seeing an overhaul done at some point. Maybe that would get me using it. So I upvoted.

    Atari Missile Command game remake

    Consoles? Pfft. I was talking about playing it in arcades. Though the first console version apparently came only a year after the arcade release.
