The world as it should be. :D

This brought me to the idea that one could create a notice for these users, based on user criteria: I created one, set one of my test users to status "email invalid" and logged in using that user. Worked like a charm and my notice was there. But, much to my surprise, another one with the same...

How does it work and what does it look like?

Obviously they are (as I am on self hosted), so it is a bit disappointing if a solution is offered on XF cloud but not for self hosted (assuming there are no technical reasons for that).

When sending out notifications to users via mail there happen all kinds of bounces. Often, the mail address does not exist anymore or the mailbox is full or they have some weird forwarding to another mailadress which results in a SPF failure. I've activated automated bounce handling and set up a...

Since the upgrade to 2.3 a month ago I've got the notice about outstanding manual jobs in ACP: I assume that these are template rebuilds since these take forever (hours) and the web frontend runs into a timeout/deathloop whatever w/o ever reaching a "finished" notice. That happens reliably...

Simple: Never ban an IP from a pool of dynamic IPs that may be used by legitimate, wanted users. Only ban IPs of either fixed IP-lines or data centers where you are sure that nothing but bad traffic comes from there (or at least nothing of interest). Ban dynamic IP-Ranges (or for that matter...

That is ibou, a search engine: https://ibou.io/iboubot.html Given their mission statement https://ibou.io/manifesto-en.html I would not call them a "bad bot". Also, it does not hide and follows robots.txt.

If you had looked around in the forum before posting the thread you had no doubt reconized that this is quite a common issue, comes in waves, countries change and also, if the traffic shows up in Google Analytics or not. The most active thread around the topic is this...

Btw the variant w/o key should be working again as well. I filed a bug in the bug section here and it turned out that XF has a special deal with them that they occasionally forget about and turn the API-free version off until they get reminded and turn it on again...

Well, honestly it reads just like that - especially your reply. It rather sounds like you used a tool in a way it is not intended to be used and then blindly reacted to it's output w/o understanding what that output means or checking if it would be valid or make sense at all on the codebase you...

I did not ask a question, i have no signature and I did not move my forum to a different folder - as i am not the OP of this thread as you falsely seem to assume.

Hmm. Not a honest anc clear answer. So I'd guess this is developed by AI. There is nothing to find about your Dev-Team on your homepage. To be honest: Judging from you website you seem to be a one man band and "our Dev-Team" seems a bit over the top. Given that the company is VAT extempt and...

What are you talking about? Seems to have nothing to do at all with the question.

Absolutely. I've been dealing with abuse desks for more than 25 years, in the earlier parts of that as part of my job. Back then you had two types of providers: Black hat and white hat. Nothing in between. The black hats (which were few and well known) would ignore you while all the others...
