    XF 2.4 XenForo 2.4 status and what's new under the hood?

    Yes, this would be good. I started down this path quite a long time ago - implemented an addon which adds Monolog logging support, but in its current form it's mostly just useful for addon developers and doesn't really add much to the core itself. I do have plans to expand the functionality of...

    XF 2.4 XenForo 2.4 status and what's new under the hood?

    This is fantastic - one of the big things that limited the functionality of my Unit Testing Framework for XenForo addons was the inability to automatically spin up a database with very low overheads to test functionality that involves database queries. Looks like I'm going to have quite a bit...

    XF 2.3 Xenforo Cloud Backup Restore - Broken Site

    It's a hosted solution - surely you'd just submit a ticket? That's why you go hosted - let someone else fix it.

    SparkPost Mail Transport for XF 2.2

    Hmm - this should not be the case for registration or password reset emails. Can you share your Email transport method settings? For example:

    XF 2.4 general discussion, feedback, complaints, random off topic posts, etc.

    Why? The current editor works perfectly well for the majority of users and the new editor in 2.4 should not impact on any site upgrades unless you've customised the editor functionality.

    XF 2.4 general discussion, feedback, complaints, random off topic posts, etc.

    It's already been made clear that 2.4 will mostly focus on "quality of life" improvements - meaning behind the scenes changes that won't have a major impact on your ability to upgrade. I think you'll be fine to launch a new site on 2.3 now and then upgrade to 2.4 once it is released.

    Geoblock Registration

    Not exactly - those are IP ranges, not every address starting with 103 is a Cloudflare address. You need to use an IPv4 calculator to tell you exactly which addresses are in the range - for example: https://mxtoolbox.com/subnetcalculator.aspx Enter 103.21.244.0/22 (from the Cloudflare page I...

    XF 2.3 Spam Bots are Insane

    I think Turnstile is a must and set it up on all of my sites where I can - but I have also noted an increasing number of spam registrations getting through regardless - although they may be "meat spammers" (ie human spam) rather than bot spammers - or a hybrid approach using both humans and bots.

    Geoblock Registration

    Have a look in XenForo at the current visitors to your site - look at the IP addresses being reported - if they are not cloudflare addresses, then you're good. If everyone is from cloudflare - further configuration is required. Yes you'll require a Maxmind account to use the Geoblock...

    XF 2.3 Spam Bots are Insane

    Check the IP address history for the spammers who are getting through - it could be that they registered via another IP that wasn't in the block list? Geoblock registrations only works at the point of registration - once they are successfully registered, it does nothing. It could also be that...

    XF 2.2 How to block registration from some domains?

    FWIW, I use both methods: there are certain countries that I block completely using Cloudflare - they can't even view my site. There are other countries that can view the site but can't register at all (using my addon). I also have it set up so that there are some countries that can...

    XF 2.2 How to block registration from some domains?

    If you want a simpler way that gives you more control - including forcing registrations from certain countries to go to moderation for approval, try my addon: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/geoblock-registration.7516/

    Geoblock Registration

    Yes, I use Cloudflare and it works. You do need to make sure that your web server is passing on the real IP address to XF and not just the Cloudflare IP addresses - XF should do that automatically, but you can also configure that at the web server level.
