Is there a way to get the forum spam user registration filter to automatically reject registrations if they meet certain criteria? I'm thinking specifically here about blacklisted e-mail addresses. I have a lot of user registrations that are using e-mail addresses that have been blacklisted by...

Ah, I see, I was looking in the wrong part of the manual. Thanks for the link and the reply!

So, thought I'd provide an update here. The upgrade from XF 1.4.2 to XF 2.3.4 went off without a hitch, so the forum is running on the new software and PHP 8.3. Do I still need the mod_rewrite rules that I had in place for XF1, or can I get rid of those? Are there new XF2 specific mod_rewrite...

Ok, just following up here. I found the mention about the admin.php?ewr-porta/promote function, and was able to promote all of the old threads into articles using that (since the articles were all in specific forums), which made things MUCH easier. I've still got to edit the tags on the...

Umm...Ok, so what are my options here? Am I just boned and I have to recreate all of the articles I had in XP1? If so, that's gonna really suck. edit: Please forgive my dumb questions; I'm not the one who normally uses this add-on, and I'm just trying to understand what needs to happen so I...

Ah! Ok, so I need to upgrade to XP2 FIRST, THEN upgrade my forum from XF1 to XF2? In that case, which version of XP2 should I upgrade to? I've searched the forum but can't seem to find any clear indication of what XP2 version is compatible with XF1? I'm testing all of this on my staging...

Hello, I upgraded XenForo from 1.2.1 to 2.3.2. That part has been completed successfully, and I am now working to upgrade my XenPorta from 1.6.0 to 2.3.0.4 I followed the upgrade instructions for add-ons, and the XenPorta 2 comes up as a completely different add-on (i.e. it doesn't give me the...

First, a note: please understand that none of this critique is targeted at you personally; I understand that you are (by your own declaration) a newbie when it comes to PHP. For that matter, the last time I played SERIOUSLY with PHP was back in PHP 5.6. It has admittedly been some time since...

I'm making really heavy going of relating the XF1 style parameters to the XF2 style parameters. Specifically, I'm trying to work out the relationship of the XF1 color palette settings and the XF2 color palette/basic colors. Is there some 'conversion guide' or similar document that I'm not...

This is my problem: I've played around with using ChatGPT to generate code for various (relatively trivial) applications. WHEN it generates code that actually does something other than just spit out an arbitrary result, it is almost always wrong, and in ways that are not immediately obvious. I...

Ok, it looks like it's related to the custom colors. I found the 'unscrew my style' button (also known as 'revert customized value' button) and it looks much better. So now I can start figuring out how to get my old styles back.

Upgrade complete, logging into control panel.... oooooh...pretty, pretty, shiney, shiney. Hmm...my forum looks really wonky, like just text, no graphics. Is this because I haven't updated the templates yet?

Holy Crap! That was FAST! You guys are AWESOME! Edit: upgrading now.

Ok, so I'm trying to upgrade in my staging area. I had some issues that were a result of some of my security configuration (note to self, make sure to give the mysql user proper permissions to the database when moving to a new web host). I'm getting to this screen, so I take that to mean I...

Perfect. Thanks again for the help!
