That is a very good thought (y)🎉🍾 Looking through section 7 of the act, see below, I think there is a good chance we can fit into that exclusion, which would save a huge amount of trouble! 7(1)A user-to-user service or a search service is exempt if the conditions in sub-paragraph (2) are met...

Thanks a lot, that's very helpful indeed. We have a test site where I can test and refine.. Now that I know it could be done, I can go out to consultation so users have a chance to express an opinion. Better than simply imposing! Thanks and regards, Mike

Is this a better worded question?: Sadly, I fear they wouldn't respond to that. Many of our users are great with old cars, but not so great with IT:)

not needed, please delete.

Thanks - how about this as the request in a new thread? "How can I add a custom field that would appear in the User Profile: "E mail"? And then how can I populate that field from the database so it contains the user's email address? (Presumably that would need to be a CRON action to ensure that...

That's an excellent suggestion Ozzy - many thanks. However, the OSA risk assessment has a specific risk category for services that have a Messaging (DM) service (1b). Very few of our members use the DM facility, so its an easy decision to terminate it. The OSA doesn't differentiate between...

Thanks for your concerns on this simple idea. However, we already have their approval. As part of preparing for GDPR, our members agreed to share contact details via a club membership list - which is published to all members (and has been for 75 years!). An online version of that list is already...

Good idea on announcement. My question is really HOW can we add their email address to their profile automatically (so all our member's profiles would show their email address - or a link to it)?

Absolutely, if ours was a public access forum. However it is a "club members only" private forum - accessible only to users who are logged in. All registered users are members of our old car club and have paid a subscription.

We are considering how to react to the Online Protection Act 2023. Our forum is very small and for members only (no public access). We are considering stopping Conversations (DM) to improve our OPA Risk Assessment. Our users would then have to use email to contact each other direct (which should...

I am delighted with this add-on. It is a vital tool for moderators / admin and has allowed us to re-order posts in a thread and clean up threads with confusing multiple posts etc. It seems to work very well with XF2.2.17; PHP 8.1; XFMG 2.2.6; Enhanced Search 2.2.2

Hey guys, I really like the idea of Collapsable Categories / Nodes for our forum - which uses standard XF style However we: 1. are not happy to do all the editing of templates shown above (lack of skill, and worried about ease of maintenance) 2. would prefer to use conventional up and down...

I would like to have all my Forum's categories collapsed as default - so when a new user logs in, they all appear in collapsed view. Then when he opens any of them up, it remembers his status, so when he next logs in, it will open up in the same way. Is that possible?

Hi, I like your forum appearance. Can you tell me how to enable the up/ down arrow on the right end of the category bar. Which opens / closes the sub forums / threads below? Is that a standard option in XF2? I can't find it! Regards, Mike

I am trying to set media category permissions to restrict access for a particular user or group. However I get the following error message when attempting to view permissions of a media category: An exception occurred: [InvalidArgumentException] Class XFMG\Permission\CategoryList does not match...
