    XF 2.2 The table ‘xf_session_activity’ is full

    So, cron task cleanUpHourly is responsible for cleaning up table xf_session_activity? Is there any harm in having this run every 20 minutes instead of once per hour?

    XF 2.2 The table ‘xf_session_activity’ is full

    Does anyone know what these bad bots hope to achieve? We have a large site, but 95% of it is just senseless chit-chat of little value to the world.

    That was my conclusion also. Do you know if Cloudflare can be setup to handle just a single subDomain, or do they have to manage the entire domain, i.e. I just want them to handle forum.site.com and not all of site.com.

    XF 2.2 The table ‘xf_session_activity’ is full

    Thanks for the feedback. The problem is these bots do not identify themselves as bots in the browser string, they pretend to be a normal user's browser. Along the same lines, they hit the site once and the next bot comes from a completely different IP. The author's intent is absolutely to evade...

    XF 2.2 The table ‘xf_session_activity’ is full

    Bots are going crazy. The bots are hitting our site two times from each IP address (first they get a 301 redirect as they are going to a specific post, then they get redirected to the page for the respective thread). Then they use another IP address. Since 0800 today, we have had 244,896...

    XF 2.2 I am totally confused about Outdated Templates after upgrade

    What I mean is: I made a few simple lines of change to the template which will not automatically merge. Yet when I view the "View Custom Changes" the changes are shown are not ones I made. I am trying to understand where these mystery changes came from which are causing the difficulty in...

    XF 2.2 I am totally confused about Outdated Templates after upgrade

    OK, so I did the automatic merge and I ended up right back where I started. AS I noted before, any changes I made were nothing more than adding a few meta tags to <head>, so I have no idea why such difficulty. When I look at "View Custom Changes" for a particular template, they are nothing I...

    Xenforo 2.2.6 and bots

    Just upgraded. Used to be hundreds of bots at the same time, now they're gone. Well, at least they're not showing up as a Member or Guest.

    Social Groups for XenForo [Paid]

    Have a user who created a group which when I view it from the main forum page as admin, shows as "Private." He is able to create threads and posts in his group forum, but any attempt to use any of the menu bar commands (Group Info; Group Members, Group Tools) results this msg: "You do not have...

    XF 2.0 Set pictures from the post as thumbnail for Facebook and Twitter

    @Kevin, I deleted my post, but I guess you saw it first. Basically, unregistered users could not view images, even with the direct URL. The validators didn't tell me they couldn't load the pic and instead gave me these other errors/warnings. All is well now. Sorry.
