Thanks!

Sorry if the answer is in plain sight but I spent hours looking and failed. My XF 1.5 site looks like this on forum home: Nice & clean. Trying to upgrade to 2.1, I get this: The addition of latest post makes for visual noise. I tried turning off the latest post widget but that didn’t do...

This thread saved me. I looked for an hour and couldn't figure out how to edit my sig. Thanks!

I want to do it too.

I think a little bit of love for the wording in the admin panel and the user dialog would go a long way to reduce confusion. The admin control panel makes it seem like we will reject images over whatever dimensions we specify, instead of resizing them: And the user dialog makes it seem like...

Ah. That was the ticket for me too.

We fixed our long post problem by deleting the search index. Not needed if we use Elasticsearch anyway.

I agree with that request. The Post Reply button lights back up after 5 seconds, but meanwhile it takes the post 45 seconds to time out. So our members just keep trying the Post Reply button, creating cascading failures. Or if they get lucky and some of their efforts save in under 45...

Wow, we just tried to migrate a pretty big forum (25 million posts) to Xenforo on the same type of server at AWS we had our vBulletin instance on, and saving posts gets crushed in a minute or two after turning it on so that hardly anyone succeeds in saving a post. Something is doing table...

Thanks for the quick responses. One thing I hadn't done is to read the discussion in the guide on implementing permissions across multiple user groups. With these new comments in mind, reading them now and finding them also very useful.

Yikes, sorry, me again. I was explaining group permissions to our ops team who are doing the conversion from vBulletin and they asked some questions that caused me to wonder. I said I thought the following statements were true, but I'd check: 1. Unregistered and Admin do not inherit from...

Awesome, thank you. I chose #1 and it's working.

Very helpful, thanks! Almost there, but I want to make sure I understand a use case of: Inherited Allow + Revoke = Overall No Allow + Revoke = Overall Yes I have: Public forum 1 (Set to Allow for registered) - Public subforum 1 - Private subforum 2 (Set to Allow for moderators, Not set...

I'm not seeing how to determine the hierarchy of group permissions. For example, I would have thought the place to start would be Unregistered since we have some nodes that are not visible until you're a member. Does Registered inherit from Unregistered? it sounds like Moderating inherits...
