I have set up my chrome browser to display PDF files. When the files are attachments in XenForo, the presentation is often not visible (the majority of the time) but sometimes displays correctly. I have many such files on my personal website and they display just fine...

Our donations were the object of a stupid Denial Of Service attack which created a large number of unconfirmed entries in donations in the admin area. I would like to delete all of those from that list since it has added a few hundred entries. We just upgraded to XF2.3.7 and I was happy to see...

I turned off the Automatic ad feature for our site which seems to have worked. We now see only the ads both Google and local that we defined with Siropu's ad management system. We restrict the Google ads to the bottom center below content and may also include some inside the forum categories. We...

We have a new problem with ads that claim to be Expert Consultants when users are not logged in to our site. Can someone tell me how to remove them? They ask users to register and some are confused that they are registering for our site when they are going to this intruder site.

I am trying to figure out how to provide a facility for newcomers to ask for help that is only seen by them and someone on the admin team. I can do that jus fine for the viewing of the contents but I would like it to be associated by a Help link on the public nav. i.e if the person clicks on...

The largest issue with integration is integrating the images with Media Gallery which really cannot be done because the wiki images have...

I have been trying to move as much of my login names and passwords to facial recognition as I can. I do not see where to do that for logging in the the Admin area. Can anyone help?

So user value contains text cannot be a wild card? I have not tried it but I had expected that to work.

I think it is easy to forget that discussion forums started back in the Arpanet days. I was using it in 1970. Of course, technically, we were using terminals and connecting to a mainframe. Our current forum has threads from 2002.

I had a little brain fog and forgot I needed to set the ndoe permissions to use this.

How do I upgrade Next/Previous Thread to this addon? I have installed from archive but my Next/Previous Thread addon is still visible. Can I just remove it without damaging the new addon?

Our Forum is part of the offerings of a nonprofit that operates a museum open to the public, a large research library and document archive, a school that teaches our primary subject of clock and watch design and repair. We also have a dozen meetings annually by regional subgroups and about 100...
