I'm with you. I enjoyed a lot of the communities I encountered on platforms like mono.org (because they were on the fringe, and you had to know how to use Telnet to get on them in the first place - you couldn't just use a web browser, or even SSH, back then.) Lots of really interesting...

Thank you very much, @Old Nick. It looks really awesome! For anyone else interested in the subject, this is what I did, and what it looks like under both style variations: Dark theme: Light theme: Under Appearance > Styles and Templates > Style Properties > Default style - Style Properties...

Hi, I'd like to have a gradient background in the logo area, just like it is in the footer area of this forum. Ideally with exactly the same colours - but how do I do this? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated - I'm not at all experienced in modifying styles, but I'd really like a...

After upgrading to XenForo 2.3.2, I noticed on my Mac that the envelope icon for my private forum messages is slightly cropped on the left, i.e. it is missing a pixel in width. This is the case on my own forum, and I also noticed it while using XenForo's community forum, too. This problem...

I had to uninstall because the option to upgrade the add-ons was not presented again under XenForo 2.3.2, after failing under XenForo 2.2.16, and attempting to manually upgrade under XenForo 2.3.2 (after enabling the requisite setting - $config['enableAddOnArchiveInstaller'] = true; - in...

Perhaps, but it was rather early in the morning - and I didn't realise it was an issue until the second upgrade, which was also rather early in the morning, and still before regular office hours on Monday. I just didn't expect to get timely support when it mattered, and for me, the risk of...

I know this should never happen, which is why I mentioned that it happened to me. It's a bug, and it needs to be fixed. Fortunately I hadn't made great use of the add-ons, and while it's true I could have rolled back the Friday upgrade, I didn't realise that it would impact upgrading the...

The responsibility of being a forum administrator includes knowing what the **** you’re doing. That is non-negotiable, and it applies no matter what software you end up buying and using for your community. I was very excited about XenForo 2.3, and I started a thread about it on my own community...

@Nicolas FR, @Melvin Garcia - many thanks! :) I'll definitely look at the FR translation, if you have translated phrases for all add-ons. I don't want a mish-mash of partially-translated phrases - it either has to be all or nothing. :) @Melvin Garcia, are you planning on offering a Spanish...

Hi, I'd like to try and offer a translated version of my forum. I run an astrology forum that's in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish. We run XenForo 2.2, plus all the addons. However, I have not been able to find translations of all the addons (as well as XenForo itself) in the four...
