I have had a look through the resources, but can't spot anything useful - which isn't too surprising, there probably isn't much demand.

I'm giving some serious thought to switching a site to XF from IPB 3.4. My current IPB set-up includes blogs and I want to bring these across. I know XF does not come with a blogging platform. However I saw reference on the forums to third-party blog add-ons with importers. I can't find those...

I got the following message after logging in with Facebook on here. It logged me in fine XenForo Community - Error This action is available via POST only. Please press the back button and try again.

What might be nice is an admin-accessible profile field of 'has agreed to T&C's" Then if the T&C's change, we set that to 'no' globally and everyone has to read and re-agree. But also if one member is doing something in breach of the T&C's we can force a re-agreement as part of the warning / ban...

I'm not sure what percentage of the time it's an issue, but it seems I'm not the only one it bugs. I removed automatic quoting from the reply buttons on my forums, and while it's not to everyone's liking there was a lot of support for it. Sure, you could have something in your forum rules about...

Either way, I think the competition will ultimately be good for those of us running forums.

This is perhaps a particular bugbear of mine, but I find the quoting of long posts just to make a one line comment somewhat irritating. Like this for example, though no criticism of said poster intended. Would it be useful to truncate quotes (or have the option to do so in the Admin CP) at a...

We're kind of getting into my ideal system here rather than what we actually had, and I should point out that while I had 'Thanks!' as one of the options for my Admin note system, we used the 'Oi, stop that!' one much more. We didn't use points at all I think, certainly not to implement any...

Oh, I loved the infraction system - having some kind of trackable admin to member communication is great, and the way it integrates into the pm system and creates a topic in the admin forum is ideal. I guess one failing is that subsequent replies aren't available to other admins, but generally...

Actually with VB I didn't have the reputation system turned on. Even if it had been though, I think my point is that just naming the system 'infraction' or 'warning' gives the messages a certain impact. A lot of the time you aren't really warning so much as passing on a hopefully friendly...

It's not that often you need to do that though - inline admin for topics and posts (and members) is great, but setting up your forums is something you do quite rarely. I'd probably do it by accident more often than I'd actually do it deliberately.

Yep, or email alerts. And if we could have the same for searches . . .

From here: (this is for logged in users) I'd like to suggest that in this case, the thread opens at the end. My thinking is that a user clicking on a read topic is likely to be about to reply, and is therefore most likely to need to read the most recent posts, rather than the earliest. I'd...

With VB I renamed 'infraction' to 'admin note' and also used it to thank members for particularly noteworthy posts.
