Just re-upped with my current Canadian host for a year but I have bookmarked you for future reference. Nice to have another Canadian option since we are an all (or mostly) Canadian site.

I could go for this. I don't have multiple themes/variants on my own site but am on sites that do and tend to forget the option is there.

My dream forum.😊

They are add-ons, not standalone systems, so my understanding would be that you cannot. There maybe a way to configure/customize things so it appears that way, but you would be paying for Xenforo + the add-on(s).

And your users are going to be okay with not able to ignore people? I find it is a fairly important feature for maintaining my sanity at times.

When I first took over doing the XF work on the site, I realized we were badly behind on upgrades. Went to download the latest (this was going from 1.3 to 1.5 or something like that) and couldn't. Oops, no one has been renewing. Renewed and kept going. Boom done.

They usually only do "sales" before a price increase in my experience. There was one at the end of last year so I doubt we will see another for a while.

I always wait until I actually need to renew before I pay. Why spend the money earlier than you have to? I am now paid up to 2026 but that's because of last year's sale. That said, I do renew annually to keep up with the third point releases. As an IT guy in my day job, I am a bit anal about...

Likely. That's been the past experience. Several betas then maybe 2-3 RCs. 2.2 had 6 betas and 2 RCs before 2.2.0 was released.

If I am going to go to that much trouble, might as well just move the whole site to a dedicated server of some form. I have thought about that in the past but the work and expense seem like more than it's worth given the current state of things.

There's an app...er...thread for that discussion. https://xenforo.com/community/threads/xf-2-3-3-0-release-date.216961/page-14#post-1672978 Of the first party add-ons, I have contemplated getting Enhanced Search. The additional features it added even in earlier versions were nice. And the...

My host used to be cPanel but went to DirectAdmin last year. Never heard why but it gets the job done so I am living with it. This has me wondering if cost was the reason, though they finally bumped our cost to their current plan so we also had an increase.

That's the super admin. The first admin you create on install is a super admin by default. Then you use that account to promote other accounts but you can choose whether they are admins or superadmins. But all regular admins are roughly equal (you do have some finer grained control over certain...

Why have more than one SuperAdmin? It's really only needed for fairly specific tasks like promoting/demoting regular admins. I have one superadmin account that I and the other admin share. Our day-to-day admin work is done under our regular admin accounts. So create just one superadmin and then...

Samsung stopped updating the S20 after Android 13 and OneUI 5. I carry an S20 FE but should probably replace it soon. It's a work phone and I'm the head of IT so ... yeah.
