    The topic of this thread is 2.4 - I hope it will be released well before that time.

    XF 2.4 general discussion, feedback, complaints, random off topic posts, etc.

    With all the desctructiveness, ranting and negativity: Why on earth are you using XenForo and not something else? According to your posts it is a horrible product, created by horrible people. You really love to create drama constantly and again - as usually - from nothing, not only w/o any...

    If XenForo's finished, what's next?

    Given the relatively high number I'd rather assume "communicated" than "made (in one day)".

    Signup abuse detection and blocking [Paid]

    How about "change the default settings"? As the add on description states in red: Useful settings have to evolve over time and they are individual per forum, highly dependent from in which countries your audience lives, what providers they user and which e-mail domains they use. So what you...

    AI errors about Xenforo - post them here.

    Where would I find it (apart from in the extended search - $forum-URL/tags)? I have an add on to display the tags of the recently most visited threads in the sidebar of the forum overview, this is not stock.

    Do you use Cloudflare?

    Nobody has claimed what you question plus you are completely missing the point. If your forum/hosting is not based in the US using Cloudflare opens a door for US agencies that otherwise would not exist. Given the way the US government and those agencies have acted over the last 25 years I prefer...

    Do you use Cloudflare?

    We also start to see the issue that happens when you have a single point of failure - which there is with cloudflare: In Spain, during football matches cloudflare is blocked due to antipiracy. This has been ruled by a court and does affect most sites that use cloudflare as it seems - if you use...

    Add-on Where do you stand on selling addons to Russian businesses?

    Difficult queston. The most obvious thing to check would be if the sale would be affected by official sanctions against Russia anyway. Apart from that: While not all people in Russia might agree with the country's actions the idea of sanctions is to generate pressure by making life less...

    XF 1.5 Urgent: Huge Spam on XenForo 1.5.12 - Request for Support and Advice

    Your version seems to have been released in January 2017, almost nine years ago. The world has changed quite a bit since then - maybe worth thinking about upgrading your forum to the actual version? There are a bunch of very effective add ons available against spammers signing up - i.e. the...

    Do you use Cloudflare?

    Oh really? Who would have guessed that... :rolleyes: The netherlands have historically been famous for very liberal hosting and freedom of speech. The have a long tradition for hosting sites, that in other countries were endangered to be shut down. It got a little stricter in recent years as...

    Do you use Cloudflare?

    No. The memory for this process was limited and the data did not fit into the memory. This should have been handled i.e. by ignoring the new data or by aborting or whatever else - but wasn't. It was just badly written code.

    Do you use Cloudflare?

    I read somewhere they rewrote the piece of code in question in Rust to be safe from memory leaks and created a memory leak-like issue while doing so...

    Do you use Cloudflare?

    Cudos to Cloudflare for transparency, a little bit of headscratching about the programming error that caused the outage. Sounds like bad crafsmanschip to me - people mentioned that it would be an absolute no-no to use "unwrap" on a server in such a way: Also it seems that there was/is a lack...
