Hello, Stupid question maybe: can I somehow have automatic badges awarded for the number and type of reactions given by a user? How? Ideally it would be some progressive scales for giving upvotes, downvotes, laughing reactions and such, to make this kind of engagement more fun. All I've seen...

That is a reactive approach for individual IPs that get temporarily throttled through a captcha, and this status quo is temporary. Cloudflare's Turnstile is among the last effective captchas against some bots, but it will eventually follow the other captchas which are easily defeated by AI. It's...

Hey @digitalpoint , So I got my second domain and forum through a free CloudFlare account yesterday, popped this plugin just for the kicks, and now I finally have visibility on the traffic sources. "Ignorance is bliss" is absolutely right. I configured WAF with 2 rules: one to block...

My solution approached the issue from multiple angles: display warning for replying to threads inactive for more than half a year (OzzMods Old Thread Warning); auto close threads (XF2 Addons Auto Close) with last activity more than 3 years ago, with a very visible "Archived" thread title prefix...

Hello, I just want to add a massive thanks to @AndyB for this plugin. For context, my forum's storage has been extended to a CloudFlare R2 bucket in the free tier. We have absolutely no chance to hit the free limits for the millions of monthly A and B operations (our total this month has been...

Update: following @AndyB 's suggestion after he also spotted some more inconsistencies for the relative post numbers in the thread (#1 missing, #2, #3 etc.), I ran the Tools > Rebuild caches > Rebuild threads > Rebuild position and post counters. This fixed the order of posts in the thread. All...

This is a bit of an odd one, but it is replicable. For context: my board has new members with fewer than X messages in a "newbie" group, whose posts must be reviewed and approved manually before becoming visible to everyone. After X messages, they get advanced into a "member" group which no...

I'd guess it is a HTML widget displayed in the forum list above all nodes. Admin CP > Appearance > Widgets > Add widget > HTML > Display in positions: "Forum list: Above nodes". Probably with a condition to show it only to guests, and the text including buttons defined in the HTML.

The criteria used by that plugin does not include the criteria I need.

Bump... Should I take it as there is no technical solution already implemented to loop through all users and check if they match the banned e-mail domains?

As far as I know, no, you just enable the proxying in the DNS configuration, and then you can use the security-firewall section for any filtering you want to apply. That traffic will be analyzed and, if necessary, blocked when it hits CloudFlare, before it reaches your server. Just make sure you...

Two ways to block the IP: From XenForo Admin: Users > Banned IP Addresses > add the IP there and the forum will not let visitors from that IP access any page on the forum, without a reason being displayed. A bot would not read a reason anyway. I think you will see them in the Who's Online page...

The abstraction layer is there to ensure that multiple plugins play together well. By not using it, the author hardwires the functionality to the backend, assuming that this will not break integration with other plugins. However, as we know from the brilliant quote from the otherwise dull Steven...

Yeah, something like that. You'll need 2 buckets, and do an initial data replication before you switch storage setting. Then you can do a subsequent sync for any difference that may have popped up on your live forum.

Just noticed that previous attachments are no longer visible, and I'm digging into how to use rclone. We didn't allow attachments uploaded on the forum due to usual space constraints in a regular web host over the years. Only admins could upload screenshots to use in tutorials, for instance...
