    XF 2.3 AI agents

    Just imagine what AI will capable of when paired with a quantum processor. Prototypes are currently running at 1,000,000,000,000,000 times faster than today's fastest super computer.

    Your two most important xenForo feature wishes

    That's not how it appears to me. The majority of replies before the thread morphed into a more general chat centred around content discovery in one form or another, something that's alien to most social media platforms that cater for short life content. The one strength that forums have over...

    Your two most important xenForo feature wishes

    AI driven content discovery and search. A better editor.

    Why is XenForo not a 5-star Product?

    Recent history suggests there's nothing much to communicate other than what's already been said. I'd argue if they have the financial resources to hire anyone it should be another developer. Better that than have a dedicated spokesperson reporting there's nothing to report.

    UK Online Safety Regulations and impact on Forums

    Nobody, ever. Or at least that's my experience. I have it in the T&Cs of my longest running forum (18 years, 3 months) that a $100 Amazon voucher is there for the taking by any forum member who wants to claim it. No one ever has which suggests to me that no one ever reads T&Cs.

    Is xenforo.com down?

    It's the same for me.

    XF 2.4 general discussion, feedback, complaints, random off topic posts, etc.

    The Tiptap editor is currently beta testing a major upgrade to version 3.0. It might be that the developers here are delaying 2.4 because of it. That of course is pure speculation on my part.

    VerticalScope reported revenue decrease and search traffic decrease in Q1 2025

    I believe it was one of many music/gear related forums owned by Enthused Digital. My understanding is VerticalScope are in the process of buying that company. In fact it's probably a done deal because Enthused Digital's main site is currently off-line.

    VerticalScope reported revenue decrease and search traffic decrease in Q1 2025

    They have been buying up destroying guitar related forums for the last eight years. I've lost count of the number of such forums I no longer visit.

    UK Online Safety Regulations and impact on Forums

    I've just seen that. If and when I migrate my forums back to Xenforo that would prove really useful.

    UK Online Safety Regulations and impact on Forums

    Using a forum in the way @Mr Lucky has described is quite common in my experience. It's certainly something I've utilised on my forums. I think it provides a better way of handling a member's concerns. It allows a detailed discussion between staff and the member. It also aids transparency and...

    Major Uk retailers Cyberattack

    It is and you are right to treat any unsolicited email, text, phone call or letter as an attempt to rob you even if it isn't. It's likely that the data compromised within M&S contained the last four digits of people's card details. It also seems likely that M&S refused to pay the ransom so the...

    User with 8,000+ posts requesting post deletion per GDRP

    Pretty much in accordance with what's already been said I don't immediately delete any content but ask the member to identify content that contains their PII. I also make it clear that once their account has been anonymized and the specified content deleted, it's an irreversible process. There...

    Bookmark - cannot add message (focus will not stay on message field) Brave browser iOS only.

    So I was finally able to reinstall Brave (a working version) on my iMac. It took a while! I can't find any issue with popups there so perhaps it's an issue with it running on an iPhone? I'll try and check that.

    Fixed Please specify a search query or the name of a member

    If you add a search term it ignores the member field and returns search results for all members. The same applies to an advance search. It seems to be related only to the version running here on the support forum.
