My shared hosting provider places a limit on the number of simultaneous connections per DB user. When the Forum got busy we would start seeing these errors. And as with your hosting service, they told me we would have to move to a dedicated server which we could not afford. I modified the PHP...

Since moving to XF our site is being slammed by spammers. I have Stop Forum Spam and Project Honey Pot options turned on. I had to turn off the automated ReCAPTHA options because the spammers broke through those with no problem. I reverted to domain specific challenge questions to slow them...

I'll keep an eye on it. The initiating error logged was: Incorrect key file for table 'xxxxxx/xf_session.MYI'; try to repair it Since this site is running on a shared server managed by a hosting company I don't have a whole lot of visibility into what is actually going on with it. If this...

Our site just experienced the same issue with XF_SESSION marked as crashed. I found a solution not mentioned on this forum which is to TRUNCATE TABLE XF_SESSION rather than REPAIR it. Truncating it got us back on the air instantly. I saw on our old VB site that we would frequently get swarmed...

I'm not sure why I posted that going to forum/sitemap-1.xml returns the payload. That's wrong; you will get a 404. It does this because the xml doesn't physically exist as a file in the forum directory. Instead, forum/sitemap.php returns the correct sitemap payload. So sitemap.php is the URL...

Thanks, that could explain it Brogan. It has been a 18 year battle trying to get this simple concept across, no matter how explicit the emails are in stating "DON'T REPLY TO THIS EMAIL." I was accustomed to seeing the emails from VB so I'd trained myself to ignore them. I'll have more success...

Admins are receiving email notifications regarding Conversations of which they are not a part. If I click on the link provided in the email I get the Oops screen. I don't want these emails. I can't find a way to turn this behavior off, though I can't imagine it is something most admins would...

Ah, thank you. When I do go to https://www.mysite.com/forum/sitemap-1.xml it returns the sitemap XML payload.

When I go to myurl.com/sitemap.php, it returns an XML payload like this <sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"> <sitemap> <loc>https://www.mysite.com/forum/sitemap-1.xml</loc> <lastmod>2019-03-31T03:30:15+00:00</lastmod> </sitemap> <sitemap>...

Installed on XF 2.1, I followed the install directions including setting the debug flag in config.php. The Custom BB editor still will not allow me to edit the HTTP code to specify the correct URL. The only way I could do it was to edit your installation package bb_codes.xml. I know that the...

Having just made the switch from a Forum that has been running since 2002, and now on its third platform, with almost all positive reactions to XF, the single largest complaint is the lack of user preference for viewing order of posts within a thread. This seems particularly problematic after...

You're right. I'm sorry. I searched for Reverse and the picked the wrong thread to post in. It's been a wicked grind to transition the systems over the weekend. I'm exhausted. I didn't get what the "2 different issues" comment was saying.

What are 2 different issues, post viewing order and condiments on burgers? I made that analogy because of the very strong preferences espoused by both camps. I've seen in this forum this issue being raised going back many years and it's apparent XF doesn't plan to budge (obviously very strong...

We went live with XF 2.1.2 this weekend, moving from a 10-year old VB forum, and for the most part everyone loves it. But the biggest complaint is the loss of being able to view threads in reverse order where the latest post is presented first. In VB we had this as a user preference setting...

It took me quite a bit of hacking to make it work. There are multiple issues and to get around them I had to make changes to .htaccess, router.php, plus modify the original vb/showthread.php to hand off this URL request to vb/index.php (which then runs XF301VB\Pub\App). It's not pretty, and...
