update: consider this resolved. I did more digging and found that the parent parent forum had some bogus permissions on there (from VB 3 import) and had some random revokes for posting new threads and liking content. I set the perms back to inherit for all usergroups on that node and it's fixed...

No problem :) Mike, any ideas on how this phantom "Site Moderation" value has been set? Also, I got confirmation that we used the built-in XF importer (no plugins/etc) thanks again!

Hmm, if that's true, do you know where this mysterious moderation - registered comes from? I checked the 'moderators' nav in the user area but didn't see anything that stood out, and I made sure this group weren't explicitly set as moderators to cross that one off. I don't see anything in the...

Pretty sure we just used the built-in XF one (no extra plugins, etc). Finding that info out to make sure but there will be a delay. Just ran the analyzer, which came back interestingly: "manga full moderators" is the usergroup I've been talking about (has perms set to inherit, except "view...

So, I've read multiple helpful guides on permissions, as well as the official XF docs, and I feel/felt like I finally understood how to do things. But still having sketchy results getting a moderator group to see a private subforum or use functionality. If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong, I'd...

Does anyone have ideas on this? Also, should I have put this question in a different section? Given the amount of add-on creators there are, I'm assuming there's a canonical way to do this - I'm not looking for a step by step walkthrough, just hopefully a place to start/section of the manual to...

Thanks very much for that tip! Liking now / will do that in the future instead

Sorry in advance if this is answered somewhere else or if it's a dumb question, didn't find anything in initial scans. We'd like to add some custom functionality for things like what avatar is used in thread view. Specifically, we'd like to output a few canonical images instead of the avatars...

Thanks for the reply!

Great, thanks for that. I'll take a look in the requests section and open a new one if it doesn't exist. Really appreciate your swift help and replies!

Yes!!! Thank you, so easy! While you're here, is there a way that a user can override this value? I've been wondering if users can choose to totally ignore certain forums or subforums, for example (or, if they can totally ignore certain threads on that level - meaning they are totally hidden...

Hi all, Because of a bad experience with PHPBB and how hard it was to upgrade the software with updates installed, I've been wary about making many changes to the built-in XF product. We have a fully developed main site, plus XF. Since we want them to look like one offering, we inevitably have...

Did a few searches and couldn't find anything definitive - if there's a known solution I'd appreciate a link :) My forum is often overrun with 'game' type threads (replies with one word answers, no inherent value per se). A big problem is that the 'new posts' sidebar widget, which is imo one of...

Ah! Imagemagick indeed wasn't set as the default, thanks so much for that tip (I never ran into that setting as we don't allow attachments - bit of a weird place for the image processing setting to live) Works perfectly now, thank you again!
