    Crazy amount of guests

    Mine spiked and went back to normal as well, but much lower numbers than yours. Maybe they got what they needed and left! Or thought "nothing to see here - move along" :-) Following on with the Jedi theme!

    Paying an influencer to grow my new forum. How much to pay?

    Is it an Instagram influencer? If so you could just post your own forum links and stuff on Instagram and tag the influencer and various other people and subjects :-) My forum has an Instagram account and a youtube account - it gets it a bit of publicity, but to be honest, it doesn't really...

    XF 2.2 Moderating private conversations

    I have an AI content moderator addon. This moderates everything for illegal or harmful material, including direct messages if you tick for that option. It's very good. It means you don't actually need to read the messages. If you want to moderate by reading them then there are other addons...

    [XB] Xmas Garland

    I ended up uploading an image of a garland instead of the header bar when I gave up on the mobile view :-)

    [XB] Xmas Garland

    It worked on mobile for me but the baubles were a bit large for the header perhaps. I was looking at code to resize the baubles on mobile, but did something else instead.

    Good stuff :-) Thanks. I ended up using a repeating image as the header background. Will stick with that for now ........... maybe next year.

    What is your longest ongoing thread?

    Word association game! 13,000 posts over the life of the forum (3 years). Not much to write home about compared with the above statistics.

    [XB] Xmas Garland

    It's the download link at the top on this page :-) It explains fairly well but it didn't work for me at first. It needed the forums cache rebuilding.

    [XB] Xmas Garland

    Finally got the typing sound removed (the cache to clear is the forum cache, but I also cleared the cloudflare cache - not sure which one it was supposed to be). It does look great on desktop, but doesn't quite look right on mobile - and most of my members view on mobile. I'm sure there is...

    XF 2.3 Question about SPAM filters

    Not sure! Maybe test it out - sign up as a new member?

    XF 2.3 Any ideas for easily adding holiday charm to existing theme?

    Block headers - uploading an image instead a block colour (which pixel exit themes allow). You can see that on mine (link below). I also wanted the Garland addon, but didn't like the sound effects when typing posts - apparently that's editable, but I haven't managed to achieve removing that...

    What do you do to celebrate Christmas on your forum?

    We have an advent calendar each year from 1st December with openable windows that show a photo of members pets with a christmas background. It's popular for the first 10 days, then people ignore a bit as lives get busy, then popular again just before Christmas. I like the advent calendar...

    [XB] Xmas Garland

    Had some difficulty trying to do that and gave up! I could edit the script in the server file but then "minifiying" it and copying it to the other js file didn't seem to work. Tried adding it and tried replacing it. Even after clearing all cache's. If anyone has a "noddy" guide how to do it...

    [XB] Xmas Garland

    I gave up trying to do that. Couldn't get it to work. @Painbaker could you do a version without the typing sounds as well please? :-)
