wow, thank you for all that! and many thanks for the tip re Showcase, looks V E R Y promising! mucho gracias!

thank you. i did know about AF but since it is no longer listed here i was hoping there might be something of that sort that was. if that’s not the case then yes, we’ll probably have to look at AF to see what the current status is and if a case can be made for choosing it. fwiw i have no idea...

we’re interested in having our forum members provide feedback on a specific type of product, so a template or form-based add-on is of great interest to us. the idea being that a post would be a form that gets filled out, not the usual free-form “type whatever you want” thing that posts normally...

excellent! thank you for the recommendations, looking into those now. 👍

please excuse what might be a real n00b question: we often want to search our forums for things like: “most active posters in the past 30 days from a specified user group” “posts that have received the most (y) in the past 30 days” “most active forum members (most time spent on the forums) in...

eg Search for all posts with at least 10 x (y). or, more realistically, eg Search for all posts with at least 10 x (y) posted within the past 30 days. On our forums we’re finding that Reactions are evolving into a popular shorthand for reader’s feedback on a given post (unsurprisingly) but...

+1 to this. in fact being able to Search for threads by an arbitrary Reaction type would be most welcome, especially if one could apply thresholds and date ranges: eg Search for posts that have 10 or more (y) in the last 5 days. eg Search for posts that have 5 or more 🤖 Reactions, where that is...

FWIW I second that, actual pop-up reminders of expired timers on threads or specific posts would be most welcome. We use Naz’s Tickets and the reminder thing would mesh very well with that, significantly increasing it’s usefulness I would think.

FWIW we decided to go with back-dating the posts, to make them disappear in the past as it were: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/change-date.5608/

Sounds very promising, TYVM.

And no add-ons that can put a specific account into “silent” mode? How about something that puts a given account on everyone’s Ignore list? Would that accomplish the same end, at least insofar as not corrupting their “What’s New” and so forth?

No, the posts will be across our public forums. We have two halves to our site, the Xenforo side and a Wordpress side. We’re going through and cross-linking forum threads to content on the WP side: of interest only to someone reading that specific thread, often threads from months or years ago...

We have the want/need on our forums to set an admin/moderator account to permanent “silent” mode, meaning the system would ignore that account's posts when it comes to the “Latest Posts” lists and so forth. These are maintenance posts that the readership have no interest in and don’t want to see...

Ooo, that sounds promising. Thanks for mentioning it.

Thank you for the info.
