I appreciate all those suggestions. I'm going to go the simple route for now and just set up a private member-only subforum and see if it gets used. This suggestion was more just for the purposes of putting it out there for XF devs to consider and community to upvote, or not. I think it's a good...

I watched Wall-E, I already know the answer to that... I'm waiting to be fitted for my personal scooter.

I don't think the PM system is designed for this, but I suppose you could try and make it work. The simpler user experience though would be a checkbox that asks the user if they want the thread to be viewable to all, or just members of the site when posting the thread - similar to the way users...

There are some topics that a user might want to keep private to be viewed by just the members. And though there is an option to have them post it in a private forum, that only really works if the private forum gets used. A more elegant and useful solution would be to allow the member to choose...

Hey @Kirby - will this still work in XF 2.2.17? I tried running php /home/mysite/public_html/cmd.php xf-rebuild:kirby-attachment-thumbnails and got "command failed with return code 255" message.

I'm sure the answer is "that would require custom development" but I want to confirm. How would you go about editing and rearranging the elements of the feed item row in the Latest Activity page: It looks like all of the content in the circled element is displayed using {$item.render()|raw} -...

Is there a way to give moderator permissions at the thread level? Let's say you want the thread starter to be able to delete replies by others and ban thread replies for certain users, but only in threads they started, and only allow them to do this in a specific forum. Is that possible? I can...

Wasn't aware of that but if you think about it, is it surprising? From a pure business perspective, if you were Google, would you have given preference to XF knowing they supply forum software to hundreds (or even thousands) of individual forum owners of all different sizes and capabilities...

I'm aware. Our traffic hasn't taken a hit yet, but if that trend continues, none of us will be immune to it. My other concern is the growth of ChatGPT and other AI systems that are being used to answer questions now, instead of Google. Search engine usage could very trend downwards in the...

It's impossible to level the playing field these days with the insane amount of money and research the massive social network platforms have poured into behavioral science and dopamine addiction. But the point you're making is still right on, we need to adapt and use any advantage we can...

ezBoard - brings back memories. I worked for a small startup in the late 90's and early 2ks that was a network of consumer-generated reviews/forums sites for different hobbies, one being mountain biking. We used a couple different bb scripts and we'd promote the forums in newsgroups and...

I've been running forums back before vBulletin was even available, when they were called message boards/bulletin boards, with some of my early forums running the wwwboard script and other cgi message board scripts. When vB2 hit in 2001 it was clear that it was a big jump in forum technology (at...

Sal, you and I have had some pretty similar ideas on the car enthusiast social network front. I actually built something out using a FB clone script a long time ago, but the script was buggy. I REALLY wish XF would prioritize an updated Latest Activity feed page layout with...

I've been talking about this very thing for a long time - we probably discussed it too at some point Sal.
