    Real names forum - what's your policy?

    It's the perception; the message it sends out. If everyone participating has plausible name rather than handles, initials or joke names, it sets a tone: my forum has been going for 25 years with a thriving community that meets very regularly offline too now, arranged via the forum. It's a matter...

    Real names forum - what's your policy?

    I run a strictly 'real names only' forum that requires at least one full first name and one last name to register - no handles, initials only, etc. It's been this way for 25 years and works really well for my community. I don't mind if people choose not use their actual names for privacy. If...

    XF 2.3 icons after upgrade to 2.3.4

    Many thanks. Not being a coder or really familiar with this level of tech I may or may not get my head around it, but thanks for the pointer.

    XF 2.3 icons after upgrade to 2.3.4

    Have upgraded to 2.3.4 successfully as far as I can see, but one odd thing is the small boxes appearing next to some icons. I'm guessing it is something to do with fonts, but really don't know and would appreciate any tips. This is a screen dump from Firefox, but tested under MS Edge and it...

    XF 2.2 Give edit permission to thread starter, but not repliers?

    Many thanks - from a quick look one of those might well be at least close to the solution I need. Thanks again.

    XF 2.2 Give edit permission to thread starter, but not repliers?

    I'm probably not being clear: I'd like the thread starter to be able to edit their own OP, but nobody else can edit their replies to his OP.

    XF 2.2 Give edit permission to thread starter, but not repliers?

    I have a forum (no commercial) where people can sell wines to each other. I would like the thread starter - the person selling the wines - to be able to edit his initial post, to show what has been sold for example. But I would like people who reply NOT to be able to edit their posts (to...

    XF 2.2 Concatenate first and last names

    My forum has been running for 23 years on various forum softwares, and in all that time it has been a "first and last names only" forum. We used to call it "real first and last names", but given privacy concerns, all we now ask is that people participate with a plausible first and last name and...

    XF 2.2 "Read receipt" on conversations?

    Thanks once again M@rc. I confess didn't know my forum was in debug mode - had a developer tweak something a while back so presume it was accidentally left like that. I have just sorted that and installed the add-on.

    XF 2.2 "Read receipt" on conversations?

    Many thanks for your help. Have downloaded the first add-on, which looks like the ideal solution. When i try to install it, this warning pops up: To prevent potential issues, please resolve the following warnings before continuing: Debug mode is enabled...

    XF 2.2 "Read receipt" on conversations?

    One of my members organizes complicated social events for members. Often he has to make sure others have seen an important bit of information from him. He does this with conversations, but is frustrated that he cannot tell if someone has opened his message. He has asked if a conversation could...
