Thank you for your offer to help - as it turns out, there are upstream issues in my use of that RSS-creating service - it is limited to about 20 emails/day, and the egroup has about 100/day, so it is not going to work. If anyone has any other recommendations for posting emails automatically to...

I have created an RSS feed of emails from an egroup (from groups.io) into a forum on my message board, using http://emails2rss.appspot.com. The default instructions in the RSS Feed Importer on Xenforo (Forums, RSS Feed Importer on the Admin view) for the Message Template are the following...

I just got rid of the recent activity tab as being unnecessary. Thanks!

I have one forum on my message board populated by an RSS feed of email posts from a Yahoo Group. I have disabled the setting Include threads from this forum when users click "New posts" If disabled, threads from this forum will never appear in the list of new / unread posts. However, the posts...

Trying that - running into a few problems though. Grrr ... Too many posts and they're not getting posted correctly. A problem between my email provider and WordPress. But thanks for the alternative.

I'd like to make the browser tab (if that's what it's called - the tab that allows you to switch between websites on your browser when you have multiple windows open) look distinctive - nothing fancy, but not the generic folded page thing. How do I do that? I've gone through the Admin options...

OK, while I've got your attention ... How does one change the built-in titles of tabs? For example, "What's New" exists on two levels, and on the second level, the difference between "What's New" and "New Posts" is confusing. I'd like to rename them "All Recent Posts" and "Unread Posts" - but...

By george I think I got it! I used a LINK to the Forum!

Yes, that's what I want - a tab specific to ONE specific forum of many forums, which specific forum does NOT show in the "What's New" feed, so people who want to go to that forum can click a link to it from the top. But I can't figure out what to type in the Add Navigation blanks.

I'm sorry, I'm completely flummoxed. I looked at the "What's New" existing entry, because that's the level I'd like the tab to be placed, but it doesn't have any way to limit the fields from which it draws the content. I don't see how to create a similar tab drawing only from one forum, which...

I am trying to create a tab to go somewhere at the top of the What's New view, which is solely fed from a single forum that is fed by an RSS feed. I have that forum configured so it doesn't go into the What's New or New Posts from the other forums, but I want my community to be able to read the...

What exactly happens when you "discourage IP" someone? I've started a "competing" XF community message board, where the community has been using Yahoo Groups as an egroup for almost 20 years. These are OLD people, and some don't want to change platforms. The mods of that group are all members...

OK - please humor me, because I want to make sure I understand: One message uploaded overnight. But there is something screwy because the email was sent at 2:55 AM and didn’t appear in my RSS feed until 5:20 AM. Do you literally mean someone has to be ON the XenForo board looking at something...

I have been working with Zapier to create an RSS feed from a Yahoo Groups email group, to upload into my Xenforo community forum. I've got it working - still needs some tweaks to get it right, but there is one nagging problem - despite the fact that I have the "Fetch new entries every" set to 10...

This the error message I get when trying to upload RSS feed:
