Oh man - sounds so similar to mine. Have you tried Cloudflare - if you follow what I did above, you should see which countries are flooding your site and put a hard block on them.

You need to login to phpmyadmin and run the repair command on that table. If the table is very large, truncate it and then rebuild the search index.

The problem, for me at least, is they don't look like regular bots, and Xenforo classifies them as guests - they simply can't be living human users though. Are you seeing the same? On my forum I had in excess of 40,000 at one stage. Even now, as I type, I have this: Total: 6,336 (members...

We have several concurrent threads on this @emaw, and I'm also being badly affected with my site being hit by 40,000+ concurrent guests, causing 'xf_session_activity' to blow out and people lose access to the site. I'm not sure blocking IP addresses is a workable solution in this instance...

Found this thread having been told some of my users are having issues today, prompting "is the forum down?" questions. Checked the server logs in my admin panels and I have a lot of: XF\Db\Exception: MySQL query error [1114]: The table 'xf_session_activity' is full Scrolled down on my forum's...

Yeah. It was a while ago now, but it looks like I got some of the code from this thread and possibly some from the help with conditionals. Anyway, in my forum_view template I have this from line 147. Some of it may have already been in the original, whilst some I definitely added. It gives me...

Have I done something silly when I installed this, as from the time I installed it, it's tracking zero (or near-zero) for all metrics... (Edit: from reading through the thread, I found that unchecking "Host Google Tag Manager JavaScript on your own domain" has got data flowing again, so I've...

Can I ask about this feature: 2-Way Ignore / Block: Allow users to block other users entirely. Neither user will see the other users content. Is this "stronger" than the built-in ignore? We have a use case where, despite using Forced Ignore (via the [Andrew] Moderator Panel add-on), users are...

A bit late to the party, but I'll chip in quickly anyway... I also run a large UK-based forum, so this is all quite familiar ground. I also previously worked in Information Security for a while, so have some professional understanding too. When it comes to PII, it doesn't have to be the case...

Thanks - I couldn't find anything from some quite extensive searching. All my other ad requirements have been met by a combination of the built-in advertising system and using widgets to house ad units, so this is the last piece of my personal ad jigsaw. The thread list accounts for around a...

Thanks - I had seen that, but wasn't sure if the specific positioning I was wanting was catered for with that add-on. I'm happy to pay for the add-on if there are no possible conditional workarounds, and the add-on does handle that exact ad position.

Thanks - from a search on here, I'd already managed to find something similar for ads between posts in thread view, and it's working very well. My request here is for between threads (not posts) in the forum view.

I've been slowly configuring my shiny new 10m+ post Xenforo forum after a migration from vBulletin and I feel like I'm getting there. I've managed to configure ads pretty easily, but one use case I had on vB that I can't seem to replicate yet is to add banner ads between selected thread titles...

Thanks for getting back to me! The migration from vB to Xenforo was handled by one of the well-known chaps here. I didn't know about Development mode, but having looked it up and checked my config.php, my site doesn't seem to be in it.

Hi, Thanks for much for this add-on. I've just moved a big board over from c20 years on vBulletin and this replicates some vB4 functionality that some users asked for. I'm obviously very new to Xenforo, so I may have done something stupid/wrong. I've installed the add-on along with Standard...
