Xenforo isn't just offering hosting, though. They are basically offering Xenforo as SaaS. They manage the application, rather than just offering a place to park your license. And SaaS rarely lets users have direct file and db access. The whole idea is that they manage the application as well as...

Put in a ticket for starters. That's more likely to reach someone than posts on the forum. I am self-hosted rather than Cloud but either way, that's how I would start.

We post links to Bible Gateway all the time on my site (religious discussion forum) and I have never seen that happen. I keep the site up to date so that's pretty much every major and minor Xenforo release since unfurling was introduced. I will test on my site but based on my experience, I don't...

I can check. I have some members blogs on my site that I used this for. Not sure offhand though.

With a full-time job in IT, I get enough computer crap at work. The forum is something I took on as part of a community I wanted to support and I have no real interest in doing more, at least for now. Maybe when I am retired in a few years but not now.

We have one user who spews AI. You can tell because those are the parts of their posts that are actually readable. Their own stuff is kind of short, choppy, and sentence-free. We aren't fussing too much about it. Before AI, they would spew text from favourite Biblical commentary sites so spewing...

I use Firefox on Mint and Android with no issues so it more than just using Firefox.

Not how I read it. The line "We recommend doing a full upgrade to resolve the issue" usually means there is a full upgrade with the patch as an alternative (note that the same line introduces the patch for 2.3). Hope someone from staff chimes in for clarity.

Might have to block Singapore, too. I find a lot of the Chinese bots hitting my site are coming from data centers there that belong to or host Chinese companies (e.g. Huawei is one I know comes from Singapore).

New Zealand? (Ducks and runs):D

Canada (boring, I know)

Good approach given the uncertainty around Giphy billing (I see no evidence of it when I log into my Giphy account but maybe it's just a matter of time). Anytime you can future proof by making something a framework rather than hard coded to specific process, do it. That's the approach we are...

@Chris D posted this in another thread this morning, in fact. :) https://xenforo.com/community/threads/implement-tenor-as-a-replacement-for-alternative-to-giphy.226660/post-1774350

I think the problem is that forums predate what most of the population thinks of as "social media", which is general purpose sites like FB, Insta, X. But I have long held that forums are the original social media, sites where people can meet, converse, share stuff, and so on online. It's just...

Yes, I can see this as well. I'm a member on rpg.net, which uses Xenforo, and being able to, say, find all the players of a given tabletop rpg or interested in a given genre would have value on a site like that.
