    Social Media Strategies

    Cool, 2.3 has been a long-time coming as Xenforo got sidetracked with the hosted version. Maybe it was necessary for the business model for this software to remain viable, but I hope Xenforo will stay on top of develpment moving forward and stay competitive. the OAuth should have been a core...

    Bilingual Website

    The small technical point I would like to address for this is the default lang=eng (or language set for xenforo). It sure would be nice if we could set a node's lanuage. That way at least the search engines would get a clear signal which pages are in which language. After that, the main concern...

    Bilingual forum tips

    Thank you, yes, the first line of code on this webpage is: <html id="XF" lang="en-US" dir="LTR" So it announces to the search engines that this page is in English. So it seems we would be sending some false signals to Google if we try to offer a section of the forum in another language...

    Train ChatGPT on my forum DB

    AI is already parsing our forums, assuming the content is public, so the executioner is in the building. AI can be used in your own controlled environment, and do some useful things. PHP could be compared to it. But the AI can allow you to use natural language to get results. That aspect of AI...

    Bilingual forum tips

    I have a forum since 2002 about salsa music and dance, and it has always been in English, but so many people who love salsa speak Spanish as their native language. I was thinking of opening a forum (node) for Spanish language. Any tips on doing that effectively? Will Google be able to discern...

    Train ChatGPT on my forum DB

    Lots of statistics I would love to have without having to write code every time: How many times was "keyword" used in 2022? And which forums (nodes) used the keyword the most? Who are the top users for March in the X forum? Can you find all posts where an email address was posted? What are...

    Train ChatGPT on my forum DB

    Right, play with it and understand it. Don't just blanketly reject it. I already made a tool (with some help) to query the database of my CRM software, and it is working pretty cool. It's useful, but you can do analysis that would normally need a pragrammer.

    Train ChatGPT on my forum DB

    I am talking about training on my DB only, not sharing the content outside the forums, though I'm sure the spiders have already paid a visit to my forums. I can't control that except if I close the forums to the public.

    Social Media Strategies

    Are you aware of any social media strategies that are working for forum owners? For example, could automate the posting of teasers about new threads to social media accounts that are setup to represent the site. Not sure if anything works whatsoever, but just curious if anyone is doing something...

    Train ChatGPT on my forum DB

    Is there such a tool available yet or has anyone done it. There is so much content on my forum from over 22 years! I would love to ask questions to my forum!

    XF 2.2 Forum Threads Not Viewable to Guests

    Don't know if it is a cache issue, but the forum shows "private" from the homepage when in fact it is now viewable.

    XF 2.2 Forum Threads Not Viewable to Guests

    I found it but it was a little confusing. There is a Node Permissions link in the menu. I kept looking there, and that is not the place. Actually, you click on Nodes, and then next to the forum is the Permissions link (which is a completely different page from the permissions on the Node...

    XF 2.2 Forum Threads Not Viewable to Guests

    I set this a long time ago and can't seem to find the setting. I have a forum/node where when you are a guest you can see the name of the forum, but the threads are not viewable (non-public). I want to switch back and allow all the threads from this forum to be indexed, but I can't seem to find...

    XF 2.2 Jquery version

    I am not an expert with code, but I saw this snippet. I am running the latest xenforo 2.2 <script type='text/javascript' src='//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js?ver=1.3.2'></script> I am thinking this could be some old code one or our developers didn't update/remove. Am I...
