I do like the idea of building something that can automatically review resource submissions prior to publishing here, and I did in fact even start this a number of years ago, but the code reviews would have been manual. I think in this day and age, building something that is automated and...
There doesn’t feel like there’s a reasonable use case for profile fields just yet. At least not for common use cases. Though an add-on could easily implement user filtering with field filtering. It’s the same system but because we don’t have a concept of filtering users or even displaying a full...
For users too! Admins and users have wanted filtering for years. Being more flexible with field types is more for developers (and ourselves) but also good for users in the long run.
With XenForo 2.4 we are finally addressing one of the most common pieces of feedback we get regarding custom fields which is filtering! But first, let's take a little look under the hood to see what else is new:

2.3.9 patch files for pre-XF 2.3.8 installs
Some users may struggle to apply the patch on pre-2.3.8 installs. If you are patching 2.3.7 or earlier you may try this patch.
The patch is for people who cannot upgrade, but if you can upgrade, that is the strong recommendation. Alternatively, you could stay unpatched until you're ready.
I won't be providing support on specific changes to make to the patch just yet, so advice is to revert back to your stable version...
XenForo Media Gallery 2.3.9 Released
Today we are also releasing Media Gallery 2.3.9 to address a failing template modification caused by a change in 2.3.9. This is now available to download in the customer area, one-click upgrades, and being rolled out to XenForo Cloud automatically.
It is absolutely a breaking change and I got part way through writing this very PSA but didn’t get a chance to finish it. So thank you!
It was all a bit hectic yesterday. Obviously such a change would usually be communicated days or weeks in advance.
For now I recommend uploading everything from the patch except the Templater. That fix isn't as crucial as the others - to be affected by that you would need to have someone login as Admin and do bad things.
We can only go so far unfortunately with security updates and accurately providing...
