    Strongly recommend integrating AI functionality

    As I always say with requests like this, either an add-on or something that is easily disabled. Not everyone will want this so don't force it on people. The AI thread summaries I see on a Circle site that I am on rarely offer anything that I can't get just by reading the post and comments.

    XF 2.4 XenForo 2.4 status and what's new under the hood?

    So have Microsoft with the Windows 10 & 11 fall updates. Annual updates does not automatically = good, useful updates, though. Not sure about Apple, but MS often changes or adds to stuff that works just fine, thereby making them not work just fine. IOW, updates for the sake of justifying their...

    Real names forum - what's your policy?

    Given the vast range of languages in the world (I have three in my family alone), I would probably go easy on a weird name unless it's an obvious fake. My site, I entirely leave it up to members. Most use a "handle" but some, mostly ministers in the church that ran our predecessor site, use...

    Good Admin forum focused on Xenforo ?

    Agree, I think. I am the admin of the site because I am an admin and IT dept manager in my day job so stepped up when we had to spin up a replacement for the old site we hung out on (shut down by its owner). But, yeah, there's not much outside of the initial setup and some of the security stuff...

    Rules

    Yep, Ozz kept it going. I started with the old CMTV Rules and still running it with Ozz's version. Quite like it.

    What are you listening to?

    LOL. I love Ghost but I get your reaction, too. They are one weird band, even by metal standards. I have been on a bit of an extreme metal kick, listening to more death, black, and related metal than I did at the start of my headbanger phase of life (2020 on). So things are getting a bit loud...

    XF 3 General Information & Discussion

    IIRC, at the time it started, 2.4 hadn't been decided. The editor change was going to be in 3.0. So 2.3 was supposed to be the final release of 2.x and 3.0 was going to be the next major release. Then things changed and they decided to do a 2.4 to split the editor change off from the other...

    XF 2.4 XenForo 2.4 status and what's new under the hood?

    My company has faithfully renewed the maintenance on our ERP system annually for two decades but it's only been in the last 6? 7? years that they've actually delivered annual feature updates. Many years, we just got patches and the annual tax updates (which did nothing for us since we weren't...

    Requesting Connected Account Information

    Sorry, so once the user connects the account, you want to be able to pull account details from Discord? That would be part of the Discord add-on, not base, so you should be asking in their thread in Resources. All connected accounts in base Xenforo does is let you set things to allow users to...

    Requesting Connected Account Information

    You just configure the connection that enables connected accounts, e.g. to Google. Then each user who wants to login with their connected account configures it in their preferences under Connected Accounts.

    XF 2.4 general discussion, feedback, complaints, random off topic posts, etc.

    Not if you use the right settings. I write using LibreOffice and its spelling and grammar checker has support for most major forms of English including Australia (I checked). Even MS supports Canadian English now, which it hasn't always. That said, I don't use tools like Grammarly so not sure...

    XF 2.4 XenForo 2.4 status and what's new under the hood?

    S That's what this Have You Seen forum is for. Some 2.4 enhancements are up already. I put a Watch on so I get notified about new posts in it. Thank you @Chris D for the update. Gives me a good sense of where you are at.

    XF 2.4 general discussion, feedback, complaints, random off topic posts, etc.

    The editor is the main reason I might do 2.4 but until I have it running on my dev, I can't say for sure. There's a good chance I'll hold for 2.4.1 or even 2.4.2 if I see even minor issues.

    XF 2.4 general discussion, feedback, complaints, random off topic posts, etc.

    I'm not judging it but my experience is that the more dramatic a change, the more work it makes for IT. And on my site, I am IT. Just look at the mad scramble to fix add-ons after the changes in 2.3 (which had little impact on me, thank God). And that was not actually a big change, even though...

    XF 2.4 general discussion, feedback, complaints, random off topic posts, etc.

    Lets be accurate here, okay. I am not against change. For instance, I actually trialed Themehouse's Feeds and would love to see something like that in Xenforo IF it can be done well and without breaking the existing functionality. I would be all over it, to be honest. All I am advocating for is...
