And that's why I (still) love forums, compared to social media platforms like Facebook. You can't find anything back easily (or at all) in endless comment-threads on Facebook for example. Here on www.xenforo.com it took me a few secs to find that helpful post by @Jake Bunch.

I (novice Webmaster) was also able to get a list from all these 276 users who apparently have their time zone set to UTC. Doing this: And then export this list to an CSV file to get it into Excel.

Thanks to this antique post from @Jake Bunch, I was able to run these queries through PhpMyAdmin, with these values: - <option value="Europe/London">(UTC) Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London</option> <option value="Europe/Amsterdam">(UTC+01:00) Central European Time</option> So: --- Which...

After my vBulletin 3.8.11 board was imported to a (test) XenForo board, I noticed that all timestamps on every posting seems to be one hour off. At least, when I looked at those postings whilst logged in under my administrator account. Investigating it further, it seemed that inside my own...

(I couldn't find another thread mentioning a question of "do the node permissions override the global user group permissions and user permissions", so please do excuse me reacting to an older thread, since I have the same question). I am a total newbie to the Admin Control Panel and the...

@Jeremy P Great, I was looking for a document like these, where common questions concerning XF’s permissions system would be answered and further explained. As a total newbie to the XF permission system, resources like these are really helpful 👍. I noticed that both in the text in the main...

Thanks for explaining this, @chillibear 👍. I am totally new to the XF permissions system (just upgrading from vBulletin to XenForo) and posts like these are really helpful. Talking about user permissions, there is something I don’t yet understand. If you have a moment, maybe you can look at my...

Hi Kirby, I will follow your earlier advice: But before I do that, I need to get my newbie head around some things. I have highlighted some points of your earlier post, inside the following quote: Aha, thanks to your explanations @Kirby, it is starting to make a bit more sense to me. So...

I am a total new user to the ACP of Xenforo and coming from vBulletin, I find the Xenforo permission system considerably more complex to understand quickly, compared to vBulletin. Thanks @Martok for pointing to that resource, that already helps. Hopefully someone can publish an updated...

Just a tiny layout thing. Using the XenForo ACP now properly for the very first time (I am in the process of migrating my vBulletin board to Xenforo), I am looking to the ACP through the eyes of a newbie. At the Analyze permissions section I was at first glance slightly confused, since I...

(Tiny thing) I noticed that the forum descriptions were not visibly displayed, when viewing the forum on a desktop PC. This made the whole forum overview appear quite bare bones. The forum descriptions did however appear inside a tooltip when you hover over them, just like overhere at...

@Ludachris I am in the process of testing a vBulletin import inside a Xenforo testboard. After that import quite a few permissions are set wrong actually by the import, for example the administrator and moderators can’t see the Staf Zone anymore. As you said indeed, a function to “see” the...

That helps a lot indeed, I am now testdriving my imported test board. However, it would still help if there was a consolidated document available where all these “ins and outs” of the Permissions system were explained.

Banned Usergroup permissions have changed after import to Xenforo See the screenshots. I noticed that quite a few permissions inside the Banned Usergroup were suddenly set to YES, after the import to the XenForo testboard. In my live vBulletin board, all these settings are set to NO. I might...

Thank you @Kirby for your extensive explanation(y). I am gonna testdrive everything you explained on my testboard, concerning the Super Administrator permission and if I feel the need I will report back my findings here (so people can learn from it). I believe it would be helpful for people...
