Seems to happen less often but I still see this font color being added to pasted text running the latest XenForo 2.3.13.

Bot Guard has been working great, combining with some cloudflare rules my guest count has gone down from spikes to 20,000 visitors to staying at a steady 500 or so. Site has remained fast and load remains very low. On occasion I will get someone say they stay on the bot verification screen, in...

I thought it would have been fixed with 2.3.11 but it still exists. This bug report still open: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/2-3-7-font-color-issue.233960/

Just a note on my system running the recent Bot Guard updates. Cloudflare numbers show the site is still under intermittent attacks which would previously show 10,000+ visitors, but the site stats show what appears to be the accurate actual visitors, less than 1000. Site is performing well, the...

Good idea! I've been interested in x402 for a while and was excited to learn that Cloudflare had announced some plans to integrate it on their end a year or so ago. Something the size of Cloudflare made sense as they could handle building out the payment infrastructure but I haven't heard any...

Last night I did the 3 table truncates and that did help improve, CPU went down from ~25% to ~21% and server was stable. Claude had found some MyISAM tables that hadn't been converted to InnoDB likely from the past 1.x to 2.x XenForo upgrade. Updating those may have helped also. I updated to...

Thanks for the good suggestions! I'll be stepping away for a few hours but will plan for maintenance tonight or tomorrow night (pacific time) where site activity is lower. I don't think I need too much historical data - mainly just enough to keep recent bots away.

Thanks for such a detailed response. I'll take this all into consideration, I'll plan to experiment with the larger/different instance types before making a long-term commitment. In the last few days the number of guests has not gone over 1000 so Bot Guard appears to be effective!

No worries, any data helps.. My RI expires in about 40 days so no rush.

Thanks, Claude stands corrected :ROFLMAO: It also suggested sending you: +-----------------+-------+ | Variable_name | Value | +-----------------+-------+ | max_connections | 425 | +-----------------+-------+ +-----------------------------------+-------+ | Variable_name |...

Currently seeing some load issues on the site, possibly related to the cron changes. Claude: This orphan-cleanup DELETE is running repeatedly and takes 100-200+ seconds every time. With xf:run-jobs firing every minute, you may be getting overlapping instances during peak load. The query is...

Resources on RDS db.t3.small (2 vCPU burstable, 2GB RAM, 20% CPU baseline), currently running ~24% CPU with credits slowly declining since around the install of Bot Guard. The reserved instance is expiring in about 40 days so I was considering for this and general db performance improvements...

Theme is pretty standard with some style changes. I thought maybe a conflict with another add-on but just speculation. Claude summary on row count: On row count — no meaningful jump backward. Since my last report (~6h45m ago): total_events: 2,548,271 → 2,672,587 (+124,316, still growing)...

Thanks, I just switched to server-based trigger and set up the cron, will monitor. Current results from the query: +--------------+---------------------+---------------------+ | total_events | oldest_event | newest_event |...
