@jeb35 thanks for the reply! I have done it the second way round, renaming registered as "new member" and limiting permissions and then creating a new group "valid member" which has non-limited permissions. Then using the promotions as you said to promote them when they are "valid" as a user...

Hi all, I'm trying to get my head around the best way to set this up. I want all new members to be in a "newbie" user group by default upon registering. This group would restrict their access to the conversation system, the ability to post links and some other features. After X amount of posts...

I appreciate the reply, I've been reading up and will continue to do so. I don't do any email marketing or send emails to users (only automated emails on registration, or forgotten passwords). I will try my best to cover everything... I just don't want to be screwed over for potentially missing...

I was half expecting such a reply. Yes, it was my mistake for not changing the time limit for editing posts although I have rectified this after the incident and made users aware of the new rule. That example I gave was simply to highlight a headache I had with a disgruntled user. He made...

Hi all, Thanks for the insightful discussion. I run a forum of 4,000 members which is private and doesn't make money. I am concerned by the new regulations as this is just a hobby for me and I don't want to get on the wrong side of the laws... these XenForo updates make it easier to comply, but...

Hi all, I love Xenforo and my community does too. There is one thing I desperately need to improve some things on the forum and that would be automatic updates to forums and threads. What I mean by that is if a user is viewing a specific forum, ie this "XenForo questions and support" forum, if...

Thanks for testing that out for me Chris. I signed up myself but of course triggered the manual approval as I am already a user (d'oh). Appreciate your help! Keep up the great work with XenForo, it is worth every penny! Seriously impressed.

Hi Chris, I did a quick Google search before posting and as far as I could see, the Google "trust" thing appeared to be the most likely cause although I thought perhaps it's something I've configured incorrectly. I have checked over the settings and I believe everything is set to https, I spent...

Hi all, I am a new customer of XenForo and wow, this forum software is amazing. I absolutely love it. I just created a forum that requires users to verify their email address, and one new member messaged me on another site telling me Gmail alerted him to the verification URL being suspicious...
