There was a release in late June (2.1.6) which added support for PHP 8.4 and contained a number of bug fixes.

I believe 4chan is fighting a fine levied by Ofcom. As the case is being brought in the US I don't imagine a ruling either way will have any real effect on the UK's Online Safety Act or on the requirement to pay the fine. In any case as far as I am aware the only way a US judgement can be...

It's basically Unicode substitution in conjunction with a bit of JavaScript. If you Google 'flipped text' you should find a few generators along with the code required to spread mayhem within the hamster loving community should you wish :)

I think although I stand to be corrected @bitcoin12 is referring to SMF. If so I don't agree that that the current version of SMF is unstable. I actually migrated forums from Xenforo to SMF because of instabilities within Xenforo, particularly within the current editor. Clunky and old fashioned...

That suggests people are complaining (about the editor) for the sake of complaining. If that was the case and the current editor is deemed satisfactory I'm sure the developers would prefer to stick with it and spend their time developing other areas of the product. I imagine swapping a new...

In the main, very positive especially from members connecting via smart devices.

Two to SMF and one to Discourse. If and when 2.4 gets a release I'll consider migrating the two SMF forums back to Xenforo.

I do. I migrated forums away from Xenforo because the current editor caused too many device and browser related issues for my communities. It also didn't sit right with me that the Froala developers were happy to ignore vulnerabilities (including XSS) within their code over multiple releases...

I'm not sure whether or not there's an importer for that particular version of vBulletin but @MySiteGuy can do it as a service so it can be done.

It goes without saying but I'll say it anyway, no matter how you go about it always take a backup of your database and files first :)

I'm more familiar with EU/UK privacy laws but I agree with @digitalpoint. In the EU/UK usernames are generally considered to be PII but that's the only real difference I'm aware of. One observation going forward; I make a point of informing any member making such a request that once the account...

I remember that but I don't recall reading anything about being fined for noncompliance. Can I just say ********? No didn't think so, there's goes Xenforo's Christmas bonus.

I see Kyle, the clueless Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology has put his name to the Government press release (linked above) which states... 'As well as legal duties to keep children safe, the very same law places clear and unequivocal duties on platforms to protect...

Imagine if you decided to delete or even just edit the two posts you've made in this thread. The thread would almost certainly lose context. Now imagine that times one hundred or more. Suddenly your forum is full of threads filled with what might seem like random posts. At best the threads would...
