    XF 2.2 License renewal

    Okay, thanks, Paul. I thought maybe I was just missing something in cart-fu.

    XF 2.2 License renewal

    To take advantage of the December 2023 self-hosted license renewal sale pricing, I'd like to purchase multiple one-year renewals in advance, but the customer cart seems only to accept a renewal order for one year. Is there not a way to increase the number of renewals ordered in the cart, or do I...

    Nuking Members

    I really would like feedback from folks more experienced than I am, especially as to the technical features of XF. But I made a mistake in mentioning spam in my OP, which has muddled up the question I'm asking. FORGET SPAM! I'm simply asking what are the different technical ramifications, if...

    Nuking Members

    Thanks, but I'm not asking about how to prevent spam registrants or about spam cleaning. I'm specifically asking about the technical differences in removing (nuking) any member via the three procedures I specifically listed. My spam filters and procedures catch most attempted spam registrants...

    Nuking Members

    I see three potential ways to get rid of, for example, spammers who make it through the spam screens into membership: 1. Ban them with moderator tools. 2. In the Edit User page of ACP, change their User State from Valid to Rejected. 3. In the user list in ACP, delete the user with the trash can...

    XF 2.2 Changing a Member's Screen Name: Where Does it NOT Change?

    If I change a member's screen name from Adam to Eve in ACP, does that change take effect in all places and for all purposes? Specifically: 1. Does it change the name inside quotes from Adam—that is, will "Adam said" change to "Eve said"? 2. If it doesn't change "Adam said" to "Eve said", what...

    Transferring an inactive license from an individual to a corporate entity

    Thank you, Brogan, whynot and Dragonfruit. Since Brogan has not contradicted the other two members' confirmations of my understandings of how a transfer works in the situation I described, I will assume those understandings are correct.

    Transferring an inactive license from an individual to a corporate entity

    This license was purchased by an individual (for the corporation) in 2017, so the "90 days after purchase" requirement should have been long satisfied, right? If so, then the only remaining requirement for transfer is for the license to be "activated". That would mean the current individual...

    Transferring an inactive license from an individual to a corporate entity

    Some questions about transferring a 2017 inactive XF 1.5 license from an individual to a non-profit entity, of which I have just become a director, which we then want to relocate to a new web host. My understanding is that for such a transfer to be approved, the license must first be activated...

    License Price for 1.5 to 2.2 Upgrade?

    If a site is running 1.5 and wants to upgrade to current 2.2, does a $160 new XF license have to be acquired or just a $55 upgrade? Same question for an associated Media Gallery license.

    What is definition of "active users" and "views"

    I've tried to research this but am still unclear. I'd like to know how many registered members are logging on each day and, separately, how many registered members have viewed a thread. That prompts three categories questions. 1. Who counts as a "user" in the daily "users active" ACP...

    Competition from Whatsapp, Telegram and Facebook

    I set Maximum Attachment File Size to 8000 KB because many phones (unnecessarily) take very high megapixel photos. This allows big pictures to be uploaded to the server. However, I then set Maximum Attachment Image Dimensions to 1000 x 1000 pixels, which will automatically resize the photos to...

    XF 1.3 How to attach a .pdf-file into a thread ?

    I'd like to add some things to this old thread and ask a question, now under XF 2.2.10 Patch 1. As a relatively new admin, I wanted to put a 14.2 mb PDF containing pictures/text into a message. It seems the only way I can do that is with the Attach feature rather than the Insert features...

    XF 2.2 Can I block emoji reactions on a locked post/thread?

    Thanks. This gave me the idea to simply remove the forum permissions for anyone other than me—the one and only admin/moderator—to react to or post in my already-existing Site Announcements forum. It seems to work per my dummy membership accounts; they now don't see a reaction button in that forum.
