    New home for all XenForo documentation

    Very nice! I still don't understand why XenForo will not use their own software for knowledge base articles. It seems like a statement that XF is not suitable to host documentation articles and needs to resort to DocuSaurus to patch that. I'd love to see XenForo or a XenForo addon for it...

    [DigitalPoint] App for Cloudflare®

    It would be really nice to see in the CF analytics widget if AI bots are throwing a party on my site... CloudFlare has AI Crawl Control Metrics. I found that Meta AI was getting ridiculous and needed to be blocked.

    We have a html script that quizzes users with 30 questions with Yes or No answers. There are no right or wrong answers. Depending upon their total score they get a evaluation report. i.e. a title and a text to explain what their score means. There are 6 possible results. It would be nice if we...

    Whats the best add-on for paid memberships?

    Conversions are a lot higher if you offer paid membership on registration. This addon by @Painbaker works very well and allows you to offer upgrades in a visually appealing manner: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/xb-paid-registration.9608/

    Alert: Member linked to your thread/content

    When a member A quotes the post of member B they get an alert and email, because this is useful for member B. But when a member A posts a link to the post or thread of member B, then the latter does not receive an alert or email. Since we have unfurl, the linked post is displayed in the post of...

    Activity Summary needs its own bounce threshold settings due to length of time between emails and XF's 30 day reset

    Completely agreed. It would be very useful to set the bounce handler reset period. For various situations. If you have received a lot of erroneous soft bounces, then that will disrupt the whole process and being able to temporarily set a shorter reset time would avoid accounts getting set to...

    [DBTech] DragonByte Mail [Paid]

    Is it possible to create multiple digests? I can create multiple newsletters, but there doesn't seem to be an 'Add digest' button.

    [Liam W] (RIP) Member Self Delete

    I changed that so they have permission. But Im still getting reports from users who have 0 posts and get no permission error when they click the link. I dont know if it matters but I do have @Xon 's User Essentials installed, which also has account disabling features.

    IP/subnet blocked should not cause soft bounce (hotmail, live, outlook)

    That SMTP RFC information is from 2008. While the basics are the same, email and bounce handling has greatly evolved over the decades. Back then I published articles on how to manage bounce processing and prevent blacklisting. But those are no longer relevant as the internet has changed. It is...

    IP/subnet blocked should not cause soft bounce (hotmail, live, outlook)

    I would not be surprised if its the same issue. Microsoft is really coming down hard on email senders. For example they pretty much banned reputable email providers like Zoho, because their IP reputation is too low. This can be caused not only by high spam rate, but also by large volumes, not...

    IP/subnet blocked should not cause soft bounce (hotmail, live, outlook)

    I think you are correct. MS has about 13% while gmail leads with 17%. https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/email_server

    Member count settings: count bounced state users as members

    I'm validating and processing email bounces quite rigorously. This is not about a mere 1000 more or less. I have 60k members with yahoo addresses, pretty much all of which get deactivated as they always return a hard bounce. users do receive the email and some do login to re-enable their account...

    Maybe it's an idea to add a virus scanner as well.

    IP/subnet blocked should not cause soft bounce (hotmail, live, outlook)

    There are several situations where soft bounces is received for perfectly valid email addresses. This happens quite often with email providers like Microsoft which has its own sender reputation system. (hotmail, live, outlook, custom domains, etc) Microsoft hosts about 25% of all email so this...
