When CleanTalk flags a registration, XenForo places the user in the approval queue. The moderator sees “CleanTalk matched” and our own block message, but not what matched: the email address or the IP address. They also cannot see what kind of IP it is or whether it is still listed. Moderators...

It would be really useful if disabled accounts would get a final email on deactivation: Your account {accountName} on {siteName} has been deactivated and cleared of all personal data. I understand this is a tricky one, but by law we are obliged to confirm the deactivation and removal of PII.

I let Claude Code analyse my server logs and CloudFlare logs. It takes notice of speed, behavior from page to page and many other technical specifications. It does identify specific scrapers and configures CF WAF rules to block the specifics of the scraper. Most likely server logs are not needed...

I dreamt that I was browsing on my mobile in bed and saw @Painbaker had released an XF MCP for Claude Code. When I woke up I checked XF and was really bummed out that it was just a dream. lol.

After installing xb core lib and then installing the update, it still blocks the update saying i need to install core lib.

I think the problem will eventually resolve itself. LLM is getting better and better, which over time allows vibe coders to create better software and xenforo to audit the addons. Auditing all addons manually has always been an impossible task. But now its possible to do. I audit addons very...

If the XF team can work through the bugs backlog by the help of AI then we all benefit. Getting a mass of replies in the feed is a small price to pay. I think its very positive. Seeing the endless vibe coded addons, most of which I don't trust, is another matter entirely. Hopefully those will...

My comments were intended as general remarks about Design Issues. The current thread is not the best example of it. I hope that issues that are true Software Design Issues will someday be queued for evaluation.

As the suggestions forum and guidelines work now, in many cases there's very little point to post a Design Issue / Design Flaw as a suggestion. Because they are likely to be marked duplicate if there's something similar and will rarely attract votes. Then they are automatically binned. Its a...

Im pretty sure that @MattW can help you with this. Install @DragonByte Tech their Mail addon and setup AWS SES with SNS. Ask Matt and Dragonbyte .

Does the bot read related bugs if they are linked in the thread? It seems not.

It seems to me that a Design issue means a Software Functionality Design issue. I.e. issues in this classification are not a code quality bug, but caused by the way XenForo Functionality is designed. Functional Design choices can lead to unwanted and unforseen consequences. Such Design issues...

This seems not entirely correct. Or better: incomplete. Bounces are classified by status code AND bounce message. As it should, because status code alone says very little. Xenforo has made many improvements in regards to status messages and this had a major positive impact on correctly...

I also raised this issue in one of the HYS threads and IIRC @Jeremy P mentioned the issues with content tabs are on the radar as part of better content discovery. This isue is just one of many issues with content discovery which make it really hard for users to find their way. If a website uses...

Black hat SEO tactics exploiting a SEO vulnerability I dont think the bot has truly considered the examples linked in this thread, nor understood the issue reported without that context. To elaborate: This malicious url exists on xenforo.com...
