    Are Forums Making a Comeback in 2026? Real Communities in the Age of AI

    Couldn't an LLM compare technical manuals across 100s of vehicles to know the bolt mount spacing specifications (and width, etc. for cabin fitting) to precisely tell you which OEM/aftermarket parts could be interchangeable before any one person discovers that?

    Branding Removal for 350 USD is really expensive

    I honestly don't think a business owes a public justification. It could've been as internal as, "Let's charge $100 more for this and if we see more than an X drop off of purchases, roll it back at a future date." And as Chris said, it's primarily for businesses that don't think twice. So, I...

    Member count settings: count bounced state users as members

    I'd argue the most transparent — for this situation — would've been screenshots of stats from the ACP and/or from Analytics. That's because every board can count the public display of members differently, even if this is implemented.

    Member count settings: count bounced state users as members

    I've seen a couple big boards show total number, even of those not confirmed and even banned. I suppose this one is an admin's preference. But, back to your members dropping after a bounce: They should come back to the count once they reverify. So, is it really an issue? If 1000s drop because...

    Option to Unfollow / Mute Profile Post Notifications

    XF 2.3 What's new in XenForo 2.3.8?

    Thanks for all the work @Chris D, and the entire XenForo team! The only complaint I have is that you didn't take an additional 30 seconds to make an article image for this announcement, so it kind of looks wonky. It's decent now as it's the top article, but if a 2.4 HYS is released with one, it...

    The silence is deafening and concerning...

    Obviously, the silence isn't deafening or concerning, to me at least, especially with the last week. It's a theory. But perhaps XenForo undertook something too ambitious at the time for the limited resources that they had, and perhaps devoted some more production away from development for...

    Post Highlight

    It does sound good, but is probably out of the scope for XenForo to implement to tie everything together nicely, regarding highlights alone. I suspect it'd be a 1st party add on in the future, if anything. I doubt they'd put a monetization (commerce) feature like that in a 1st or 2nd point...

    Post Highlight

    Looks like that'd have to be up to the dev to incorporate, then, once highlighting of some type or form is put in place. The basis of a maximum highlights user permission would let you sell account upgrades natively though, just presented differently.

    Post Highlight

    You would just make Maximum Highlights 100, 200, 300 user group(s) and then assign the person the user group for the item they purchased. I'm unaware of Purchaseable Item System, but Dragonbyte Shop can do this. Didn't read this: But it goes without saying, it can be an account upgrade by how...

    Try out the XenForo 2.3.8 Preview!

    True. But there's the problem of prefixes then, in this specific case, as the first bot would need to create the prefix and choose "Fixed" and the newly created "2.3.8" secondary prefix to accompany it. I'm sure in 10 years, they won't want 100s of prefixes in the ACP to manage — or hit a...

    Try out the XenForo 2.3.8 Preview!

    Alternative to the new thread consolidating them, you could start using the prefix "Fixed 2.3.8" or tagging the threads with the version release number, too. That way there's always a link to point users to all the work that's been done on a specific version vice telling someone to check @XF Bug...

    Try out the XenForo 2.3.8 Preview!

    Thanks for the clarification. I like the preview situation you have come up with. A nice middle ground. I was content with @XF Bug Bot posts, myself. Though, they often get bumped and forgotten about where users then come to the conclusion "nothing is being done". Perhaps a suggestion would...

    Try out the XenForo 2.3.8 Preview!

    Is the preview going to continuously roll updates if something is found/fixed or will that be reserved for the 2.3.8 release only? So far, there's only one(?) bug found. But if this is going to be an ongoing process (previews), it should be made clear that there's a Preview 2, Preview 3, etc...
