Yes, I can see this as well. I'm a member on rpg.net, which uses Xenforo, and being able to, say, find all the players of a given tabletop rpg or interested in a given genre would have value on a site like that.
My employer's corporate group has a whole team just investigating the potential of AI-assisted development and working with operating companies in the group to help them use it in their projects. We recently spun up a project to replace our core business system involving them. Never even...
Even if 2.4 is imminent, they will often do a final patch release along with the new feature release so I wouldn't count on a 2.3.9 but I wouldn't count it out, either. I guess we will know when Bug Bot starts marking bugs as fixed. It always shows the release that the fix will be in.
From what I can see, the main resources page is just showing what has been updated recently and some devs are doing a lot of updates right now due to 2.3.8 so one of them happened to kind of take over because they updated basically all their add-ons. They will get pushed down as updates come in...
I have to say, I like the idea of doing previews for patch releases in principle. Not sure it is always needed but for one as full as this one, definitely worth letting the community have at it.(y)
Tried in my dev this morning. One template merge, otherwise fine. Will play around but I rarely have issues with patch level upgrades so I am thinking this is good. Might still wait for the final release just to play it safe.
To be clear, we are not renewing a license, we are renewing support. That's a crucial distinction. The license is bought outright when you make the initial purchase. The annual payments cover ticketed support and updates. If you don't need support or updates, you can still legally use the...
This is part of my experience as well. My support payments (because that's what they are) are for updates, pure and simple. I have never opened a ticket. The user community is enough support for what I need given my site's relatively low needs and simplicity. That said, I am in a similar...
I think the resources section here was kind of meant to be that but it's never been pushed or optimized as the "one place to look", like an OS app store would be. The only way to really do that would be to integrate it to the software in some way so that users would prefer apps delivered that...
I tend to keep my site in support (habit from 26+ years working in IT) but do often hold off renewing until I need it to get an update. So I am due in May next year but if nothing seems imminent whe the time comes, I won't renew right away.
The exception is when one of their occasional sales...
Actually, while I like the idea, most forums I am on have their Direct Messages in formats similar to Xenforo. That covers Xenforo sites, Circle, and the custom my writing site uses. The only one I have used that had email-style DMs was vBulletin and the last VB site I was a member on finally...
