Post in "bug" forum?

I noticed this big while posting on xenforo.com just now. There is no "edit" option on your post, if it is awaiting approval from a mod. This may be "by design" but clearly you should be able to edit your post regardless of needing approval by a mod or not.

really? that is news to me - I thought the licence expired 12 months after purchasing/renewing. I will make inquiries with the original board creator and see if I can take over the licence and get registered here. Thanks Brogan.

I help admin & mod a forum running an older version of XF (1.3.1) whose licence ran out a long time ago. The forum is a not-for-profit small community (less than 100 members!) & not worth updating to 1.5. (I have also posted about there being a need for a tiered licence cost: cheaper for small...

Thanks adwolf1, I found it, from 2011. There were a couple of developers working on it for XF v1.1.x @Dao Hoang Son and ragtek https://xenforo.com/community/threads/who-has-read-a-thread.14909/ https://xenforo.com/community/threads/ragtek-thread-reader-who-has-read-the-thread.11147/ I will...

Thanks Brogan - it's no "biggie" some would even call it spying on a member ;) and possibly invasion of privacy.

Just to update this thread, Andy created an update to his mod to achieve exactly what I was after. His mod (currently v1.2) can be found here- https://xenforo.com/community/resources/show-first-post-only.4637/ I have tested it on a demo board and it is sensational. Thanks @AndyB

Dear XF users, I'm trying to find out if XF has the following capability. With my VBulletin forum a moderator can chose to see what threads a member has been looking at (as opposed to posting in) This can be useful for moderators sometimes, to track a member's activities. Possible in XF? cheers

Andy's mod looks great too, with option to select forums to mod. But I will peek at snog's code first, as it probably is simpler to follow.

Wow, fast work snog! Your "mod" looks like it will do exactly what I was asking about. And yes, I wanted the mod to be "forum wide" (all forums) So brilliant work.

Thanks Cyb3r, you have given me some confidence to consider buying a copy of XF and peek at the message template, and do the mod. How hard can it be? Famous last words...

Thanks Borbole, I guessed as much. I guess I now have an incentive to learn XF's templating system / OOP / MVC /Zend etc. and have a crack at the mod. On first glance, it sounds like an easy mod. i.e. when displaying a thread (like this one) check if guest or member logged in and display post...

Hi XF users, I am currently using VBulletin. I currently can hide all posts in a thread, except the 1st post (as a means to increase registrations) In other words, anyone can read the 1st post in a thread, but subsequent posts are each shown to guests as "This post hidden to guests - sign up and...

Andy has written an add-on that will do EXACTLY what core freedom wants, for no added costs for anything. Simply upload yr MP3 as an attachment & his Addon detects it is an MP3 & gives u a player, in yr post. I'm trying to get it working now.
