On which foundation is this statement based? Plus, as you claim this universally: Does the country, language or audience of the forum not have any influendce - simply .com is the best?

Personally I think today the domain you use does basically not matter at all and the TLD even less, when looking at the SEO side of things. For real users it is nice if the domain in question is easy to remind (including not having a too long, barely used TLD), short enough to type comfortably...

You have do make the thread sticky at first (checkbox ist empty in your pic) before you can usefully set an order for the sticky thread). You may then need to scroll down within the edit window to see the stick thread order setting - it is at the very bottom of that editor window/popup: May...

A bit of a wide shot. Very wide. GDPR includes the right to be forgotten which may mean "deletion" (but alreday this is debatable). As far as I know GDPR does not lay out a dedicated way how this has to be achieved and especially not that it has to be an autonomous self-delete process like...

Do you use the "delete" or just the "disable" option in the backend of the add on for the users? The complaint by @ichpen refers to the "delete" option.

Obviously it heavily depends what way of mailing one is using. If you use an external/seperate mail server for relaying there is no need for DKIM configuration within XF. If you use the built-in mailer you will have the need, if you want to use DKIM.

@Osman : Wow! Tanks for the quick feature implementation and the fantastic update!

As written further up in this thread: This is what some companies (like i.e. proxycheck.io) do and it can possibly be assumed that CF does this as well. No doubt that it helps in many ways with diagnosis, however: The IPs change frequently, there is a ton of these proxy providers, they change...

The issue with resident proxies is that they are rotating very fast. Typically, a single IP does only one single request (and within that one single call that leaves out elements of the webpage like JS, tracking or pictures, depending from how the scraper is configured). One can often identify...

The pricing of proxycheck.io is affordable in my opion: https://proxycheck.io/pricing/ The add on builds up a blocking list and countries are checked via a local maxmind database in the meantime. After a couple of weeks and with the actual version of the add on roughly 2/3 of the IPs visiting...

I am using it too and like it. Solid and does work very well since the latest versions. However: I would not sign this: By default it misses most of the resident proxies. It does catch data center based stuff to a high degree. To block resident proxies you have to block ASNs or countries with...

Another finding: At least one company that offers residential proxies: does also offer prescraped datasets for use with AI: So it seems they extended their business model. As usual they claim to only have "ethically sourced" residential proxies - which seems barely plausible, given the...

From your initial post I got the impression that you expected a bugfix to be created for a six year old version of XF that has been out of support and outdated for many years and at the same time expected that a bugfix within 2.3.8 would magically be integrated in 2.1.12. ;) Sorry for the...

... but also shows how close they are to being a monopoly and what risk is therefor tied to that company. Also, they may at any time change their behavior, products and TOS to the worse and people will have no alternative as there is no real competition and people forgot how to do the stuff...

It was reported in 2025 for XF 2.3.6 and marked as solved for XF 2.3.8. You are running according to your post, which dates back to 2020. So you are riding a very dead horse. Given that: How would you be able to judge that the issue would not have been solved in 2.3.8 despite stated?
