Thanks for that. It obviously never occurred to me to hit return or 'Search' which makes me wonder if I'm just to old to rock and roll or if the popup functionality is not entirely intuitive.

Perhaps I'm missing something obvious but the popup results seem limited to the point of being superfluous. Am I right in thinking that I now have to use an 'Advance Search' to get the same degree of results that a simple 'Search' previously returned?

I'm sure @Chris D eats lives and breathes Xenforo but he's one of a team and it sounds somewhat disingenuous to assume he alone is responsible for future releases. But regardless, boom... 2.3 gets released, takes everyone by surprise and we all panic because we haven't renewed our licences. Or...

Because it's going to be so popular it might be all sold out by tomorrow.

When comparing vulnerabilities it's worth noting the actual payload e.g. vBulletin's worst data breach not only compromised forum users but also customer accounts including names, addresses, birth dates, security Q&As, email addresses, home page URLs, IM identities, IP addresses and passwords.

To add to what's been posted above, you really need to make your wishes clear in a will. You might for example not want to your site to remain live or in some cases your site might have financial value that can be passed on to a named beneficiary. It is also imperative someone other than...

vBulletin's current editor provides an easy option to remove the two main button bars leaving the user with something very similar to your screenshot so you get the best of both worlds. It's one of the few things I really like about that particular product.

Probably for much the same reasons it's being replaced here. It has multiple unresolved problems over a wide range of browsers and devices. Reported issues of which there are currently 137 take an age to fix and security issues are left active between versions. Really? I'd say that looks far...

That's a bit harsh, I wouldn't wish Froala on anyone, even vBulletin 😊

Before reading these posts I was holding back from asking what I suspect a lot of forum owners might consider an irrelevant question, namely just how far back will the algorithms go. Personally I find a lot of older content on my forums to be just as relevant today as it was twenty years ago...

That's really good to hear, thanks @Chris D :)

This is the kind functionality that makes me want to migrate my forums back to Xenforo. Now, about that new editor... :p

I believe you, your forum has only four members. When you have thousands of members posting I guarantee you'll find quite a number posting from the same IP.

There are multiple ways of avoiding acceptance of the TOS using browser tools should you need to access your account. Personally I wouldn't want it recorded that I'd accepted those terms regardless of their legality because by doing so it is likely you have entered a legally binding contract...
