Not exactly sure Xenforo can meet these standards for archiving, but this might be something you would be interested in, assuming the US Library of Congress deems your content worthy of preservation…. https://www.loc.gov/programs/web-archiving/for-site-owners/creating-preservable-websites/

I didn't encounter that in my searches, I'll look at that and see how it might fit into my needs.... In addition, after making my suggestion, I stumbled on this modification: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/more-obvious-voting-and-solution-marking-for-question-threads.203675/ I found...

So, I don't think this has been suggested before, I did some searching and found nothing. I have a forum setup for Questions and Answers, and I like how it works, but my members have been slow to adopt the upvote, downvote, and best answer options in that forum. When discussing this with...

It sounds like to me.... a user of forums joined Xenforo with the goal of convincing a group of forum owners to change their ways, and give up control of their forums to the masses, calling it "democratic". It's an interesting concept, sounds a bit like anarchy to me... sorry, no.

There is no way to customize this newsletter is there? Like if I wanted to insert an announcement or links to our weekly Zoom Lecture for instance.... or if I wanted to insert a custom footer to advertise a special feature on the forum, I don't see any way to do that either.....

Really?

These are interesting points, and I’ve always taken every opportunity to improve our community sense of “we are all in this together, like a big, but strange family”. I’m wondering if most forum-leaders, and I include myself here, are missing some things we could be doing to utilize what we...

Okay, I'll check on that and try to figure out which one it is, I'm guessing it's one of three I can think of. Thanks!

That worked!

So this is a 2 part question... Part 1 I have a lot of resources that have the "Does not have a file" option set, and as such, they don't advance the count in the category listing. So, I end up with several categories with many multiple listings, and a Zero count, and so members think they are...

I don't think we disagree on the majority of your points, unless I'm misunderstanding something about your post. My forum "IS" a register for free platform with a premium option after the fact... That doesn't change the fact that the Payment Integration is OLD, OUTDATED, and IN NEED OF UPDATE...

Interesting how in the recent Xenforo Insights Video, Episode 5, Community management, part 2 https://xenforo.com/insights#episode5 At 54:45 you can hear Mike from Audentio praise XF for offering a Core Community Platform that let's you create a community Premium Membership Model that's your...

Thanks for pointing that out, I think I've seen the thread before. Make me wonder why XF hasn't updated the API after all these years. That thread was started 9 / nearly 10 years ago, and they still haven't updated the API? Is there something the old API does that you can't do with the new...

This is the best explanation of this problem I've seen yet. I frequently have trouble with members who wish to upgrade their premium membership in Xenforo, probably half a dozen times a year. It's always confusing to explain they need to cancel their premium membership first in order to...

So, perhaps these are the questions we should really be asking... Does XF need further technical SEO refinements by an SEO expert? Or: Do XF owners need to do a better job maintaining their forums with an eye for SEO content, and perhaps bring on an expert SEO advisor to improve their layout...
