I highly recommend Russ Goodwin and Pixel Exit! My testimony for Russ Goodwin and Pixel Exit. A few years ago I wanted to bring up my own forum to share articles and events. I have owned a number of vBulletin discussion forums but didn't like the direction vBulletin was going back then and...

Thank you. 🍻 After trying a few times to figure it out without success, I hired my Xenforo Mechanic Russ Goodwin to do it for me. Working perfect now and with Russ's help, I think I figured out how to work inside the Package function of Ads Manager Lite moving forward. Check it out... one...

It's 2 separate ads - and I only want one to appear at a time at the top of the forum. As a person clicks to a different page or refreshes their screen, I was hoping the ads would change/rotate. It would seem to me that this software is capable of doing what I want it to do - I just don't...

Apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong place. If this is the wrong place, maybe someone can tell me where I should have posted it? I created to Ads using Ads Manger Lite but they both show up on the same page - stacked one on top of the other. See here, https://themikephillipsforum.com/...

Just curious. Coming from decades of using vBulletin - I'm used to the simple or conventional color choices for changing the color of text. Like this, The "colors" available via the text color picker in Xenforo are different than the normal colors like shown above. So the dumb...

Valid point. Me? I rename all my pictures and because I keep copies I can check to see if there's a file name I've already used and then simply modify it. Because I work in the car world, it is easy to be sharing pictures of similar cars, for example the 1969 Chevelle. But in these...

Because the software adds an extra set of numbers, when I'm inserting multiple pictures, I have to change both the file number and the number the software adds. It's just annoying. I'm use to PhotoPost on my other forums and the software adds nothing to the image file name. The Batmobile...

Also.... Why does the Media software changes . to 1 I.e. change DOTS to DASHES In the file names? I normally name files like this, Batmobile.001.JPG The software removes the dots and replaces them with dashes? So I get this? Batmobile-001-JPG Is this something that can be adjusted? :)

Any way to modify image code output? I have a new Xenforo forum with the Media Gallery add-on. So far I really like the Xenforo software and the Media Gallery except for one thing. The URL address for a picture, after it's uploaded to the gallery has extra coding on the end of the file name...

Thank you everyone for the leads. :)

Hosting recommendation - small forum Hi all, New guy, been using vBulletin for years. Starting a new forum and want to use Xenforo. Different kind of forum use - at least to start with, I only want to use the forum interface to share my car detailing write-ups. I like the linear forum...

Copy that. Will take your advice. Still plan on purchasing an XenForo license so will likely be a newbie member here with more newbie questions in the future. Thank you. :)

Plugin for WordPress to show most recent threads? Going to put up a new website for my car detailing business. Plan was to use WordPress for homepage and XenForo to showcase my work. Was not really planning on having an "open" forum, I just wanted to use the ease-of-use of the forum format to...
