    According to our admins the DOM, JSON, iconv, SPL modules are not available

    Even though it passed the PHP test script? Just double-checking!

    I'm with Deluxe Hosting, but when I asked them about the Xenforo server requirements, the response in the title is what they said. Is this a deal killer?

    Require acknowledgement before allowing content to be posted.

    I have a couple of related questions. 1. I want to set up a fanfiction section for a forum where members can post long form text with a word or character number limit. Can xenForo do that? Would it be native, a xenForo add-on, or a third party add-on? 2. I want to force the person posting said...

    Give Thread Author Control of Subsequent Posts?

    Doh! Sorry, I thought I clicked on that and it went to my profile. My bad. Thanks!

    Give Thread Author Control of Subsequent Posts?

    After thinking about this some more, rather than doing any custom development - Will the Admin panel let me create a Forum for an individual author and assign them Administrator controls over just that forum? (I did create a demo site but it doesn't give access to an admin panel that I could find.)

    Give Thread Author Control of Subsequent Posts?

    Hi Brogan - I added a number in the original post to identify each desired feature (1 - 6). Could you (or anyone else) hazard a guess at the number of custom development hours that would be required to implement each feature in Xenforo, in a way that the program could be updated as new security...

    Give Thread Author Control of Subsequent Posts?

    Hello, I want to use forum software as a collective story-telling framework. A thread author starts the story and then other members can continue the story in a series of posts that each build on the one preceding. Somewhat like the forums games that limit the post length to just a few words...

    Question about tags and templates

    Yup, I know there are probably valid reasons to do it the forum way, I was just curious, having gotten used to the one-button upgrades in Wordpress. I have about 60 template edits and 10 edits to the PHP scripts in my vBulletin implementation. I have to hand code each of those nearly every time...

    Question about tags and templates

    In Wordpress, the database contains only the content - the posts and comments. A style (theme) selects and arranges the content without changing it. I can try any number of styles, completely wreck them through my edits, and return to a working style without ever touching the database. And, when...

    Question about tags and templates

    I did try the demo, and I didn't see tags, so I asked. I guess it's common for forum programs to include the templates in the database, but it sure seems counter-intuitive from a non-coder like myself to see presentation and data comingled like that. The whole point of CSS is to separate the...

    Question about tags and templates

    Hello, I'm currently using vBulletin4 and I'm heavily dependent on the tags system. Does Xenforo have a robust tag system? My site is here: http://shoutstreet.com It is modified to present a tag search as a series of forums. Could that be duplicated in Xenforo? I'm also a user of self-hosted...
