    XF 2.2 Proper HTML code for bold type in forum description

    Thanks for the ground-breaking solution. Maybe I can offer you some valuable nugget of pointless commentary in return someday. Snarky replies aren't the reason I come here to ask legitimate software questions, as simple as they may be to most here.

    XF 2.2 Proper HTML code for bold type in forum description

    Hi all, and apologies in advance if this has already been described elsewhere but I wasn't able to find the specific thing I needed. As with many here I'm sure, I run a forum where the majority don't actually read instructions or forum descriptions (shocking, right?). So I attempted to use...

    XF 2.2 Question about splash page created during initial forum setup

    Unless we're talking about vintage Hondas, don't give me too much credit. Like your username and signature, couldn't agree more. Also, there are more emojis here than we have, I copied a few but I might need to ask how to install them in my XF. But I'll stumble around in the dark first.

    XF 2.2 Question about splash page created during initial forum setup

    Thanks. When you're in my position of retired and age 70, despite 25 years of association with Windows computers and actually making a living repairing them and even building a few webpages 10 to 15 years ago, the amount of change has left me behind and though I don't like to ask for help, in...

    XF 2.2 Question about splash page created during initial forum setup

    Thanks for the insight. I did not set it up initially nor did I have the knowledge then to understand it, nor did I have the knowledge then, or now, to change it, or I would have already. I suppose it's easy to provide that kind of answer and critique above when you do actually know how, and...

    XF 2.2 Question about splash page created during initial forum setup

    Please forgive my ignorance if this is in the wrong place or has already been discussed, I did an hour or more of searching for something like it already but I'm a luddite when it comes to the back end of our forum software and afraid to do something that will brick my forum. We started with vB...

    XF 2.1 Which template to add a message to the registration form?

    I realize this thread is 4 years old, but the post above just helped me add some text to the registration page because our older crowd isn't always email savvy. However, I'd like to make the text I added bold to better get their attention since the text under boxes on the registration page...

    XF 2.1 how to hide the Attach files button on Post thread page but retain its function (which is also used by Drop image)?

    Thanks, and it did work perfectly with desktop usage. I saw the command was still there on a friend's iPhone which is why I wondered. I'll try our dark style and see if it's there, and look into our minor customizations if it is.
