    At last! DPreview.com moving to Xenforo

    Backups are run twice a day for each site. The database is dumped and a diff of the files produces a snapshot which is then encrypted and hosted off-site. A number of snapshots are retained over a 12 month period so we have good recovery potential for the last couple of days, the last week, the...

    At last! DPreview.com moving to Xenforo

    That's not actually a viable solution because conversely to those who are somewhat loud about the loss of threaded view, there's another bunch who are very happy that everything is in flat view, which was a preference in the previous software. Most of you will understand from your own imports...

    Stop closing html tags on void elements

    We'll consider it at some point but these are informational only and do not represent any negative impact. The "risk" involves unquoted attribute values which doesn't apply here.

    XF 2.3 Notices for 'page criteria' for Direct Messages?

    Constant outages with xenforo hosting

    Just to stress this is just a sign of the times rather than being because you’re on Cloud. The software is the same regardless with the same anti-spam features. Attracting more bots, AI crawlers, more sophisticated and evolving spam attacks aren’t really impacted by where you’re hosted...

    AVForums moves to Xenforo

    XenForo is a framework. It is rarely desirable or necessary to tweak something like the resource manager. XenForo framework created the resource manager. It can be used to make other things. See also Bob’s Showcase, Sportsbook, many other add-ons. So, no, it’s likely not a tweaked version of the...

    Setup Cloudflare on vBulletin 3.8.11 (preparing to switch to Xenforo)

    In the context of clearly switching to XenForo, it's perfectly acceptable. This isn't what they asked for help with.

    Has there been any work done on the Importer tool?

    You made a bug report for this but it is still open so that issue has not yet been resolved.

    Fixed XF\Cli\Command\AbstractCommand::initialize returns when the parent is a void method

    I think this is two separate bug reports judging by the difference between the title and the message. Both are valid though so I'll copy one and adjust.

    XF 2.4 XenForo 2.4 status and what's new under the hood?

    No. Funnily enough, after 8 hours a day working and 8 hours a day sleeping, humans tend to have at least 8 hours a day for other things. Then there’s two whole days a week where there’s more room for non work-related activities. This is like saying, “Am I correct to think that XF 2.4 are not...
