Create a forum in your moderator only forum that says "Reject? Second opinion needed". When Mod 1 reviews a thread and wants a second look, he moves it there. Others know to look there and either reject or possibly move it to forum #2 which is something like "Discussion/Review Needed" for when...

I'm surprised there's not more discussion of this plug in. I installed it yesterday and in the last 24 hours, it has banned 400 Russian spammers. These spammers were getting through the normal defenses, despite using Captcha and StopForumSpam. It was so bad that my moderators were on the verge...

Really? A single line of copyright/credit info was a deal breaker? You do realize nobody ever looks at that stuff, right? If they're reading the copyright notice at the bottom of your page, you need more compelling content!

I'm sort of running it, LOL. https://gardenforums.com/forum/index.php?featured/ It's there, it works, runs fine. The problem is that it's a lot of work to add fresh content etc and other projects have taken priority. Not the theme's fault, just the crazy year and new focus. I prefer the look...

Yes, THIS, please. It's killing my FB traffic when all it shows is my same logo, over and over again.

Perfect, thank you.

I have a long (45 page) thread that I want to pull all of the posts from a certain use out to create a different thread. Just hits from that thread. Don't want to delete them, want to copy them. Don't want to scroll through 45 pages clicking posts by him. Is there a way to say "Find all...

I'm not even sure exactly what that means, if you upload it, it has to be in somebody's album? But if it means I can't feature existing media, then it's broken.

I'm not able to figure out how to feature an image. I assumed it would work the same way as featuring a thread, there's an option in the pull down menu. However, I don't see the option when I view an image in the gallery. What am I overlooking?

Running a photo contest with a bunch of images. It sure would be much easier if thumbnail images were shown as part of the poll and they simply clicked next to the one they like. Is that possible in either XF or as an add-on?

Well, that one is done with TH, so yeah, it has every feature that TH has, LOL. I bought TH first, found out it didn't support the photo gallery, so bought XenPorta, only to find out it doesn't either, LOL. But they're both pretty good and I generally like them.

It works well for my garden forum too, that's why I use it there. Posts tend to be concise, and comments are reactions rather than additional "pages" of the article. But in my other forums, that's not the case. As for photography forums? BOTH of these currently have a real deal breaker. Support...

" Now if they'd only let you upload a photo for the articles, like they do with Features, I'd be totally happy with it." To be clear, articles can have photos. You can use any attachment in the first post. However, here's the problem. Often the photo I want to feature would be the latest photo...

Themehouse: https://gardenforums.com/forum/index.php?featured/ Xenporta: https://railroadforums.com/forum/index.php?featured/ Oh, and the "visible branding"? I had forgotten it even has that and had to look. Oh, yeah, there it is, a tiny line at the bottom of the page below the visible...

I use them both, and I prefer this one for several reasons. The look seems better to me, and the ability to organize the articles into categories is a big plus as far as I'm concerned. Now if they'd only let you upload a photo for the articles, like they do with Features, I'd be totally happy...
