I've been a long-time user of SMF (since the v1.0 days). Yes, it's free, and yes, it has been relatively stable for my two large forums. But I didn't get drag-and-drop photos until v2.1 was released, and it's still quite clunky when it comes to patching and updating. I can't update to the latest...

I know this is an old thread, but I'm in the process of migrating my SMF 2.1.x forum to XenForo 2.3.7, and I'm having the same issue with avatars. I ran a test import last night, and everything imported properly except the uploaded avatars (I changed the path to /custom_avatar for the import)...

The firewall settings are available from the Leaseweb Customer Portal. Since it's a hardware firewall, it can't be controlled from the VPS itself.

Nice video, thanks! I originally had my TinyProxy running on a $5/month Digital Ocean droplet too, but I moved it to a Leaseweb "gp micro" VPS (also $5/month) because they have a free hardware firewall that stands between the VPS and Internet. With the firewall, I'm only allowing inbound...

Make sure that you're not using any add-ons that might bypass the proxy. I was using the "Convert Image 3.3" add-on by XF2 Addons and discovered that it bypasses the proxy. I contacted Andy (the developer) and he has a new version coming out tonight that fixes the issue.

Yes, you are correct, the image was cached in my browser. I cleared my cache, inserted the image, and when the image rendered I saw my browser reach out via Wireshark. Good to know. I feel very comfortable now knowing that my origin IP is not being leaked. THANK YOU!!

So here's what I'm seeing. Start new message. Insert a link to an image (insert image -> by URL). The image renders in my editor. I don't see any traffic on my proxy server. Only when I post the message do I see traffic on my proxy server. So does the image preview rendering bypass the proxy...

I'm using tinyproxy on a VPS and it's working beautifully. But, it looks like the Unfurl URL feature is bypassing the proxy. Or maybe unfurl is using javascript to unfurl the preview via the browser?

I'm in the same situation. I have my forum behind Cloudflare to hide my origin via https and I'm using AWS SES to route outgoing email which effectively blocks my origin in the email headers. Now I need to come up with a solution to proxy images and/or block hotlinking to force everyone to...

How did you do that? Thanks.

I know this is an old topic, but I'm migrating my forum from SMF to XenForo 2.1.7 and a lot of people are used to the old non-rich text editor. SMF allows you to click the Bold button and it automatically inserts the BB code for you. You can even highlight the text then click Bold and it will...

Yep, that worked, I was able to install. Thanks!!

I'm seeing this error when I try to install with XenForo 2.1.7 Could not process ALMUSA-CollapsibleCategory-2.2.0.zip: File does not appear to be a valid add-on archive as expected.

I'm experiencing the same issue. Migrated from SMF to XenForo 2.1.7 and half of the topics on my main forum show as bold (new) and the others non-bolded (read?) to guests. My old SMF forum shows everything as new to guests because everything is new to them.

Where can I see the cached images?
