Judging from the start post of this thread they have started to do something like that: However: It sounds somewhat cryptical, the "coming weeks" clearly have passed (the post dates to June 13th this year, more than three months ago) w/o any followup and the amount of ignored feature...

👆This. 👆And this. 👆And this. Some behave as if with their maintenance fee they had bought the company and the XF devs would be their personal slaves that had to justify what they did in every single minute of their lifes towards them. Disappointment and frustration is understandable -...

Where exactly was there a question? The post your commented looked more like a joke to me: Falsely suggesting, a shareholder change had happened in June this year when in fact this happend already many years ago is what I would call creating drama, doubts, distrust and destructive rumors...

You really seem to love to create drama, rumors and distrust. The filings you refer to were made in June 2025 but only officially file changes that already happened in 2018 and 2021, so four respectively seven years in the past. Absolutely nothing revolutionary has happened regarding...

It looks a bit defencive defensive. It clearly needs better options for content discovery! When will the next version (Fence 2.4) be ready? Why hasn't it been ready already months ago? Unacceptable! And what can we expect from Fence 3.0 and when will it be ready? Give a promise! Seems so...

This thread has reached a level where it is hard to decide if it is rather ridiculous or embarrassing. Some should definitively think about a career as a conspiracy theorist, as they are pretty good at creating wild conclusions from nothing. To add a few ideas: • they have lost their internet...

I see a potential product and revenue possiblity here: You could invent a forked product version of XF, the moaner's branch. It would get new versions daily, basically the actual source code from the repository on a daily basis. More or less what a nightly build of the developer branch is with...

Possibly. Or maybe not. Some people will always be there that will have completely unrealistic expectations and additionally only hear what they want to hear (and insist on the limited things that they decided to hear). In software development, especially in phases of refactoring or with things...

Given how things developed over the last year regarding 2.4 to come back onto a positive and constructive point of view it's probably easiest by nullifying the expectations and forget anything what has been said about timelines of 2.4 and 3.0 by XF - it is outdated information anyway. Without...

OAuth is not intended for use with smtp AFAIK and I wouldn't even know how to use it for outgoing mails with XF. The underlaying issue you have is that you seem to use google as smtp-relay for mails going out from your forum. While this does work technically (as XF is simply acting as an...

👆This. But to be fair: If I remember correctly 2.4 wasn't planned, the idea was to have 3.0 to follow after 2.3. At some point 3.0 seemed to have been too far away, too much of a risk and too much of a change that they decided to go for a 2.4 first which, at that time, was announced as having...

I dont't get what this (or your post) might have to do with constating that it was not the most clever thing in the world to announce not one but two breaking releases to show within a timeframe of a couple of months after just having released another breaking release - and then not to deliver...

I wouldn't mind - just that I am on shared hosting, so forced into XFs standard search and due to the technical limitations of shared hosting neither XFES nor the others are an option unfortunately. However: Thanks for all the info! I'v learned a lot through this thread, albeit things I'd...

I get that, that's what the documentation says. But would it not be a better solution to make it customizable, so that forum owners can decide if they are willing to pay the price rather than to render the search useless for a relevant search pattern - and not even to make clear, that this...

Ah, thank you! Didn't know that. So this basically means it is not possible in XF to sucessfully search with a leading wildcard at all? That would be a really bad surprise. In German, we do have loads of longish words where this kind of search comes in very handy (not to say it is essential)...
