Nice website! I think most of your Bike directories can be replicated and much enhanced with Review Management System, Item Management System, Classifieds, Showcase and other addons by @Bob When you go shopping around for a new platform then do check those out. Aside from Showcase, these are...

It seems possible to purchase new IPS Classic or renew existing licenses of self hosted IPS community suite.

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...

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...

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.

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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.

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.

Thanks! I have features lists with fa-ban icon for basic account type now. So it lists all the nice things basic members cannot have. Dark and light mode are just too different in color. Basic/free option should be bland and not stand out. What is bland in light mode stands out in dark mode and...

This is a significant enhancement. Thanks! The main issue I found was that reviews and posts are mixed in the thread instead of having these completely separated. Is this issue still present?

This is useful in most cases, but like most forums we offer a FREE registration option. This needs to be styled differently. i.e. muted card colors and muted button, different for each style variant. It would also be nice if we can display fa-ban stop icons instead of fa-check for the features...
