Hetzner is a well-established and trustworthy company. Note that they are able to offer such low prices thanks to having a huge infrastructure (and scale), and by cutting on man-hour costs. I.e, for the cheap stuff you don't get tech. support handholding. Just a running VPS, and it's up to you...

In hindsight - this piece of advice was awesome, and I'm glad for having taken it. My impression when I wrote the original post was that the 2.3 is months away - months as in two or three, not dozens. :) The forum works nicely. It does its job for what I intended it. The minor update to...

Soon™

That's a good idea to do even with a stable version - to confirm it all works nicely before updating the production. Relja

Similar thoughts. Also, it seems like the 3.0 is being worked on "in parallel" (at least that's the impression I got). Maybe all that takes time. I'm happy to see the 2.3 being tested here, on the official XenForo community and prefer that to hasty releases without proper testing. Some things...

I would say that December is probably a realistic (if a tad optimistic) deadline for the stable 2.3 version.

If it helps anyone: "Multiplex ads" option seems to break layout on desktop when some criteria are met - so it's a good idea to disable it. Details and step-by-step with screenshots fix: https://io.bikegremlin.com/32015/xenforo-forum-installation-securing-and-configuring/#8.1 Relja

Despite of what many managers (or clients) believe: You can't put ten women on the job and makea baby in just one month.

I would install WordPress on a subdomain (or a completely new domain). WordPress is good for websites and blogs, XenForo is good for forums. Relja

If we define "normal" as usual, common practice: As far as I can tell, today it is normal to just push new versions without proper (beta) testing. Let the customers do the real testing, on their production stuff, then provide patches (including any security vulnerability patches). XenForo does...

For what it's worth, my staging forum copy works fine. Xenforo 2.2.15 (latest official update at the time of writing), and PHP 8.3 (also latest at the time of writing). As a man falling from a skyscraper says: "so far so good." :) Tested it with PHP 8.2 as well - all looked good. Will try...

Let me guess: Soon™ ? :) If you get any info about the fix, please post an update. My forum is small, no need for caching, but if it continues growing, I'll probably need to use some caching solution.

Hmm. Could this be down to the forum, or hosting server configuration (PHP version, LiteSpeed server install/setup etc.)?

Sad to hear that. Which caching solution would you recommend (for an Apache + LiteSpeed server)?

LiteSpeed WordPress plugin has a nice GUI for listing query strings and URIs that are excluded from caching, and that helps make things work. Haven't tested the XenForo addon so can't say if any troubleshooting is easy or possible.
