Why do you think so?

There is XenForo Cloud for this type of income.

A new version of XenForo should be released when it is finished, tested, and confirmed to work. It will get assigned a release date when it’s done, and it’ll be as accurate as it gets.

How can one avoid something that does not even exist? The misnomer “artificial intelligence” is a marketing word for a class of algorithms in applied computing. We’ve been using algorithms in many practical ways long before there was any popular mention of “AI.” All hype aside, it’s just a...

It is a communication platform for us with a built-in granular control of communication nodes. A forum is by definition a public space for exchange. XenForo has moved beyond that with its node, permission, and content type systems. Given XenForo’s current development stage, to describe a...

This is a minor thing, not worth a quibble. With a modest market share of 0.4 %, the format is still new. It is getting favorable attention; CDNs like Cloudflare are adopting it. I’ve converted a few WordPress sites to AVIF, and they run smoothly on both Windows desktops and iOS devices. We...

It supports it, doesn’t it? Any specific issues you have discovered with Edge’s AVIF implementation?

You are considering the server side of things, wisely so. However, having the feature in XF 3.0 for those who want to implement and enjoy it, would still be a good move, methinks.

The major browsers have been supporting the format for a while now, so in that particular respect it is not too new. As for gains, “big” is relative. After conducting some experiments, we discovered that within the quality range of 60–70 %, AVIF achieves a similar quality to WEBP at 90 %, but...

I wouldn’t be surprised if support for AVIF gets added in XF 3.0. The major browsers have already adopted the format.

Yes, an option to turn Markdown off, whether globally or per forum node, would be a safer way to proceed; it would also allow troubleshooting formatting problems by temporarily disabling it in forums that otherwise would prefer to have it on.

We already use the <p> tags in our posts via a custom BB code. Will we have to remove it from the posts to avoid double tags?

We have pretty high requirements for relatively complex typography on our website. When you first introduced Markdown, it messed up our custom BB code data tables upon editing and re-saving posts. All I can ask at this point is please be very cautious with it as it does introduce a risk to parse...

No, it does not. I was emphasizing the importance of this bit:

This is indeed a big advantage. It was the primary driving force behind our decision to develop our own custom style (that significantly differs from the default one), using only the tools available in the ACP. It worked out very well, and I’m confident we’ll be able to replicate the same...
