For everyone wanting indefinite image proxies... why not just use the upload a file/attachment feature (and encourage your users to do the same) if you're worried about an image elsewhere on the web going away or being modified?

Having done small addons for XenForo and small to large ones for IPB, this is my opinion on the matter: XenForo follows the MVC pattern when developing, which means despite the lack of official documentation, it is very easy for someone already familiar with the pattern to add things to it...

@avvvi What version of python did you use to run it? If you're using Python 3.x, try running it on 2.7 instead

I've personally found it valuable when browsing forums where similar-topic threads are often merged together, so you can read which reply was in which original thread to better understand the conversation taking place.

Speaking of the sf_foolbothoneypot_uuids table, I noticed it was absolutely killing our CPU doing a filesort due to both how large it got and also because you don't have the proper index on the table for what you're using it for. I added it in on my install, but you should really add an index on...

Just going with the two products you listed. vB has the largest quantity of addons, as such a large number of them are free (and many also likely abandoned and not receiving updates). It also has a fair amount of good skins, but the load times leave much to be desired, especially in their...

I know when I posted in this thread, it was to give an honest opinion about the vB5 beta and to share an admin demo for others to experience it as well -- nothing bashing IB about that besides personal opinion on the workings of the software itself. It also seems that the first couple of pages...

Also because healthy competition breeds innovation, and with vB completely out of the running there is one less major contender that forces forums to move forwards. As much as I hope IB gets their act together to help foster this competition, I simply don't think it will happen given their large...

OK, debug mode enabled, thanks for the tip

If you're going to test for security weaknesses, all I ask is that you are ethical about it. That means (among other things): 1) Don't overstep your bounds -- for example if you're trying to get db access only try to go after the db that vB5 is using. If you're going for file access only try to...

It doesn't tell you anything useful, like database queries or load times -- it only tells you stuff like the number of ajax requests or what templates were loaded.

Seems I'm a bit late to the party, but I agree with prior sentiments of how god-awful vb5 is (I skipped pages 15-40 though for the sake of time). I wanted to provide a demo to you guys that had an admin/mod login so that people interested in how those tools worked could use them. My impression...

The license terms are a bit shaky on that actually; the original purchaser of a license is allowed to transfer as per section 2 paragraph 3, but section 3 paragraph 1 states that no selling of licenses can be done without prior written consent -- so it's a bit unclear in my opinion as to whether...

Just to play devil's advocate here, but personal messages could be used pre-sale in the event of license transfers (e.g. arranging the details of someone selling their license to someone else within the license terms). Other pre-sale personal messages can arise in arranging someone to install xF...

If you are still looking for hosting, I recommend heading over to WebHostingTalk and checking out the offers and reviews there (http://www.webhostingtalk.com). I've found it to be pretty reliable in terms of finding out the good and bad aspects of various hosts, and posting there can net you...
