    XF 2.4 general discussion, feedback, complaints, random off topic posts, etc.

    I'm getting the message I need to renew to get updates and support. I don't think I'm going to do that until there is clear evidence this software product is going to remain competitive. There are some other software products (;ole Discourse) that look like they are worth checking out if this...

    XF 2.4 general discussion, feedback, complaints, random off topic posts, etc.

    Possibly websites themselves are going to be even less valuable with ChatGPT and other LLMs getting bigger. People will chat with bots more than humans. Surely, it will reduce usage by a good 10% or more. Forums will still survive, but usage will keep dropping. My main concern is development...

    XF 2.4 general discussion, feedback, complaints, random off topic posts, etc.

    I'm assuming there isn't enough money coming in, or whoever is in charge has life problems preventing them staying on top of things. Hopefully, they are getting close. As a SAAS company owner, I know how challenging it can be to stay viable.

    Any news about Xenforo 3.0, can we expect modern forum?

    I feel like we’re getting pretty close to the point where AI can do a complete rebuild of the design and even some of the features. At the very least a good developer could speed up their development process by 100% and knock some things down really quick. Of course, testing will be still...

    XF 2.3 Spam button for Moderators

    There used to be a spam button in the posts next to the "warn". A moderator could click on Spam, and then they would go to a dialogue where they good delete all posts by that user, and also ban them. Took just a couple of seconds. That button seems to be gone since the last update. How do I...

    Not a bug schema: missing "url" field (in "author")

    Seeing this error in Google Search Console for guest posts. Thinking perhaps there should be a URL for guest so it doesn't produce an error.

    AI Bots are coming. What is the plan?

    I see a ton of content in my vertical that is clearly harvested by chatGPT. It seems we have reached the point where just rewriting things means they are not plagiarized. What I think a bot can never easily do is replace real people, so doing more to humanize our communities and help people to...

    AI Bots are coming. What is the plan?

    Let's face it. There will be fake users joining our forums in the near future to do all kinds of things, surely more than I can imagine: Harvest content Make friends with our users, and scam them Find ways to post backlinks or promote something maybe even sabotage our communities in some way...

    XF 2.3 API Endpoints

    I receive a 404 error when trying to access the API endpoint /api/users/me. Authorization: I have confirmed that the Authorization headers are being sent correctly. When accessing the endpoint directly, the server returns the following response: endpoint_not_found Requested endpoint cannot be...

    The future of forums (vs social media)

    I feel like the big change is with AI. There are tons of bots indexing our content, and perhaps in the future where normally our forum pages would appear in search results, it may be AI answers instead (that use our content). But there will always be a desire by some to be part of a community...
