    XF 2.3 My Forum is suddently sending out "See what you missed" emails to everyone

    My guess is that you have one or more addons installed that are causing this. Or somehow there is an issue with server date or something.

    XF 2.3 How do I make a custom navtab active when a user visits the related content types?

    I have added some custom navigation tabs in the navigation manager. Under each of the tabs I have grouped various addons. For example I have a Community tab that holds Forum, Media, social groups, members, calendar. Community is the parent of these. How do I make this tab active if the user is...

    [XB] Paid Registration [Paid]

    Please consider to add a function to Gift an Account Type. i.e. add a Gift link with FA icon on post and other content. When clicked let the user select an account type to be gifted. Of course with the same nice looking cards that are on the account types page. Just smaller. I´m sure this would...

    Xenforo VS Vbulletin 6

    https://tools.digitalpoint.com/cookie-search Have a look at the historical use of the latest versions of vbulletin and xenforo. For vbulletin hardly any websites have adopted version 6.0, 6.1, 6.2 There was a minor increase in adoption of vb6 last summer but apparently those websites have tried...

    [XB] Thread Ratings [Paid]

    Thanks for the update. I've installed it on my dev site to try it out. There now is a tab for ratings, but the review (post explaining the evaluation) is still visible on the Thread tab. Settings & sty;e properties I would like to see: Display a reviews form on the Ratings tab. So users can...

    Signup abuse detection and blocking [Paid]

    And of course blacklist sketchy domains, so you never have to deal with those registrations again . This addon is a life saver. The main thing that's missing is a function to approve registration but ban domain & force email change.

    Signup abuse detection and blocking [Paid]

    You can just approve each new email domain from the approval queue. It does make sense to manually add the main email domains to the white list. Once the major domains are on the whitelist, only the odd ducks pop up in the approval queue and that's where domain approval becomes very useful. If...

    [XB] Thread Ratings [Paid]

    Reviews Management System (RMS) is a very extensive beautiful reviews system by @Bob https://xenaddons.com/products/review-management-system-premium.24/ Very different purpose from thread ratings, as its a full fledged product/business reviews directory.

    [XB] Thread Ratings [Paid]

    I can see how a reviews thread type is useful. However, in that case you might want to give it the proper schema markup so you enjoy the SEO benefits. Its also nice to see your community reviews listed on the google profile of a business or product. I use Reviews Management System to review...

    [XB] Thread Ratings [Paid]

    We have been using thread reviews to rate the quality of threads for decades. This has worked great for quality control, SEO and to know what threads to no-index. Separately from that we have also been using post reviews (reputation system) to rate the quality of individual posts. We have never...

    [XB] Thread Ratings [Paid]

    It depends what it is that you want the users to review. The purpose for which I have always used thread ratings is for the users to review the thread. i.e. what value the thread has. Which started by vbulletin thread ratings, to denominate if the thread is good or bad quality and to communicate...

    [XB] Thread Ratings [Paid]

    Please consider to add a REVIEWS tab and place the ratings breakdown and all reviews there. Similar to XFRM. This would make the addon useful to me. Mixing the thread content and the reviews thereof is too confusing.

    [XB] Thread Ratings [Paid]

    Reviews are ratings with a comment explaining the rating. The issue is that there is no functionality for reviews. Its only possible to have discussion posts with ratings on them to look like reviews. But this mixes in reviews and discussion posts, instead of having these separate.
