I suspect a user of spamming by conversation. He has three ordinary messages. I don't want to read his conversation but if I can see that he has 10 conversations, then that is a strong indicator that he is not using the forum for the purposes for which it is intended. Can I tell the number of...

dj That is a brilliant workaround. Thank you very much. I hadn't thought of merging threads. Brendan

Hi DJ No. I am moving a post and not a thread. When I move a thread to another forum, I see that. Brendan

Hi DJ Not sure what you mean by redirect? I am moving a post from Thread A to Thread B. I get this box OK, it has just worked for me. So sometimes it works, and other times it doesn't. This is the typical url https://www.askaboutmoney.com/forums/how-to-use-askaboutmoney.151/...

OK, I have started compiling it here Interesting new features

Ah, I hadn't realised that I could do it myself. I have upgraded recently and haven't figured out that stuff. I assumed that this layout was hard wired. I will figure out how to zap the What's New Tab and put in a New Posts tab in its place. Brendan

Hi HRC How do you get to New Post? Looking at this XenForo forum that we are on 1) Click on What's New 2) This presents you with this You have to search through this to find "New Posts" which is in two different places. There is so much other distracting stuff for example "What's new" is...

Most users want a simple list of New Posts. At most, they want two lists "New Posts" and "unread posts" But the XenForo 2 makes it really complicated On the main page, instead of being able to click on the above, one has a choice of a What's New Tab And But clicking on the What's New...
