    XF 2.3 Help needed with promotions and user banners please

    Thank you very much! Those are great tips :-) I got in such a muddle with it. I ended up leaving banner stacking off. Not using the staff banner for admin (adding a shield for admin as you have there), removing the "Staff online" widget. Editing the text of the staff banner wording for the...

    UK Online Safety Regulations and impact on Forums

    It does say somewhere in the risk assessment stuff that you must also provide for freedom of speech and clarify how in TOS. How someone defines that is another matter. :rolleyes:

    XF 2.3 Help needed with promotions and user banners please

    I've thought of one option maybe. Keep banner stacking off. Forget the promotions. One banner each as before. But for the extra donator banner, edit the staff banner wording to donator and use that (and remove the staff online widget). ie just add donators as staff (but it wouldn't say staff...

    XF 2.3 Help needed with promotions and user banners please

    XF 2.4 general discussion, feedback, complaints, random off topic posts, etc.

    In my case I wrote a really long, helpful answer and suggested further information could be found here, and linked my site. I'd been doing that for years on Quora. The link was relevant to the specific question and the answer (ie a certain article on my site). The one that got me banned was a...

    XF 2.4 XenForo 2.4 status and what's new under the hood?

    Could you do something to make user banners easier to turn on and off? Rather than having to use promotions for certain banners, which can get complicated?

    UK Online Safety Regulations and impact on Forums

    This was the quote I was trying to find the other day "The UK's regulator for enforcing the new age verification requirements, Ofcom, has naturally advised against using a VPN as a workaround. In a statement to the BBC, it confirmed that it will be illegal for platforms to "host, share or...

    XF 2.3 So what ways exist to be notified when someone you follow posts?

    There's an addon that emails you when something goes for manual approval - I think it can be set for a certain thread as well - so maybe set for a certain member too. I just use it to let me know when something is in the manual approval queue. By setting the email as VIP I set a ping for it so...

    That's a point. Although it's a pretty indirect link as it's not the forum itself saying - use a vpn - and can you control which ads show?

    Gemini content moderation [Paid]

    So presumably this could be used as an OSA content moderator, if you list the "illegal" harms in the box. Then if AI spots any of them it sends that post for manual approval - is that right?
