Whatever you do, that has to be step one.

This is exactly what I was getting at in my earlier post. It's getting harder by the day to be taken seriously unless you post nonsensical illiterate garbage.

Here's a thing. Recently I've found myself being accused of being an AI bot, not bad for a semi-literate 66 year old who left school by mutual agreement at the age of 14. So my question to you is how do you determine that posts have 'AI parts in them'? I highly doubt if making it a requirement...

I reported this in the Bug reports section a couple of weeks ago. The common factor seems to be Firefox which Xenforo has never played well with. https://xenforo.com/community/threads/forum-listing-bug.236092/

For the last two or three days I've encountered a strange issue with the forum listing page here. It's intermittent but I can generally replicate it more often than not. I'm using Windows 11 latest build, Firefox 148.0 (64bit) with a cleared cache.

The emphasis is currently on major platforms which now includes Reddit, a platform that many would consider a forum. My understanding is that while small niche forums appear to meet the same criteria as Reddit (based on the wording of the legislation)... The sole or significant purpose is to...

That would not be acceptable and in any case sites that fall within the regulations are obliged to implement more than one form of identification approval. That said, just like the UK, the Australian regulations do seem to be a bit of a moving target.

I think in retrospect you are right. Wikipedia went down for me and I lost file sync with Microsoft 365 One Drive. At that time there was only one news outlet reporting the issue, claiming 50% of the entire Internet was down which was clearly an exaggeration.

Once again a large number of Cloudflare customers appear to be experiencing a pretty extensive outage.

ChatGPT can only provide those answers because it has already plundered the information posted in response to support requests.

I think your best answer is likely to come from developers who have had experience in that area. Both @MySiteGuy or @ForumDevs should be able to give you an idea of what's possible and the costs involved should you wish to go down the route of hiring someone to assist you with the migration. No...

Or just move the posts to a hidden dump box instead of permanently deleting them.

It was a fair question :)

I don't believe that would satisfy all the legal requirements as it is ultimately the site owner who is responsible for removing material judged to be illegal. Ideally such material (private messages) should be reported by the member leaving the owner or their representatives to gauge legality...
