OMG!! Thank you thank you thank you!! This has been driving me crazy!! I LOVE the SFS, bug we're getting SO MUCH false positive matches on username that it's been driving us crazy. Perfectly valid users, trying register as "Tom" or "Alex" are disallowed just because of their name. I suppose...

Ah, good point! <g> Thanks very much for taking the time to reply, Chris!

Wondering about XenForo v2.2.x support?? Now that we're at XF v2.2.x I'm wondering whether this interesting-looking Add-On works with it? If so, I'll purchase! Thanks!!

Thanks Brogan! Problem solved with your tip. I can created a custom template named "translations" whose contents was being included at the top of several of my forum's pages. I'm using the ThemeHouse UX themes, and an upgrade of those themes apparently wiped out the template, but the compiled...

Dear Xenforo Gurus... After the update to v2.2.6 patch 1, I'm getting TONS (many hundreds) of these... Any idea what I can do, where I could look? Thanks a million!! :)

Replying to myself... In digging around some more I discovered Brogan's replay elsewhere in reply to someone asking for RegEx validation of the Location at registration. Brogan noted: Since custom user fields allow for RegEx validation, that solves the need that I had! :)

Dear XenDevs... I've seen you guys sometimes post a line or two of code when something was simple. So, in that hope and spirit, I'd love to have the ability to use a RegEx in the defined Answer to XenForo's Q&A CAPTCHA's so that whatever the would-be registrant enters would be tested against...

Roger that. I'm glad to know that's your approach. (y)

@Mike : Just to follow-up and put this one to rest... I examined the code surrounding the division by zero error and decided that I needed to have it crash again so that I could examine the call stack to see what didn't make sense. So, fresh backups in hand, I went ahead and re-ran the control...

@Mike : So... The only thing that occurs to me as a possible work-around might be to explicitly set jobMaxRunTime to some super-safe value? I don't know why your default might not have applied, since as noted I've never overwritten it. But perhaps explicitly setting it might work?? Thanks...

Hi Mike! Thanks for your attention. Nope... there's no reference to jobMaxRunTime in the src/config.php.

@nicodak : I used the one-click ACP upgrade, and everything appeared to be going well. I downloaded the new file set and crunched away on them for quite a while, perhaps 30 minutes, showing progress as it went. But rather than finishing up, the process crashed with that fatal division by zero...
