    'What's new' 'View more...' improvement

    As things stand, clicking 'View more...' under the 'What's new' tab returns you to the top of the listing requiring a scroll to find your place in the list. At the very least there should be a visual break point to indicate what has already been viewed on the initial page. Better still 'View...

    XF 2.4 XenForo 2.4 status and what's new under the hood?

    You could always do what I did, move my forums onto SMF :) The only real disappoint for me as far as Xenforo is concerned is the length of time it's taking to replace Froala. There really should have been an interim release shortly after Tiptap 3.0 became stable. Waiting for new stuff is one...

    UK Online Safety Regulations and impact on Forums

    It sounds to me OFCOM wants to have it both ways i.e. a large number of users on a small site and a small number of users on a large site. At least that's the way their word salad reads to me.

    Imgur is geo-blocking its service to the UK . If I upload an image to Imgur and place a link to it on this site, everyone can view the image except those of us on a UK IP. As far as I know there is no relationship between Imgur and phpBB.

    What do you guys think about discourse?

    Discourse continues to build an impressive list of communities, including a fair number migrating from Khoros. One minor observation which may or may not hold water; it appears to me new communities started on Discourse are far more likely to gain traction than communities started on more...

    Allow videos to be viewed as videos and not a pic of a camera

    Is it one of these supported file types? Have you tested it here? Also how are you trying to embed it, as a link or attachment?

    What are you listening to?

    The incredible Anika Nilles finally getting the recognition she deserves as Rush's new drummer.

    Bring back unlink all text function

    I think the current editor broke this function and left it more or less unfixable? Perhaps Tiptap will allow it back. Voted as I'd certainly like to see it reinstated.

    UK Online Safety Regulations and impact on Forums

    UK internet users thinking of entering their PII in order to access age-gated content and services might want to think again. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8jmzd972leo While there's nothing to suggest this example of age-gating is linked to the OSA, it is a good example of why you...

    Widely reported figures at the time the Act came into force suggest VPN usage increased by 1,400% while porn sites reported a 47% decrease in traffic. https://www.cybersecurityintelligence.com/blog/vpn-demand-surges-as-british-online-safety-takes-effect-8580.html...

    UK Online Safety Regulations and impact on Forums

    I can only judge by the amount of blocked content in the UK which does appear to be quite significant. Here's the ICO's take on it: https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/media-centre/news-and-blogs/2025/09/statement-update-on-imgur-investigation/

    UK Online Safety Regulations and impact on Forums

    Ofcom should be taking action against sites geo-blocking content. Section 22 of the Act clearly states providers have an explicit duty to protect users’ lawful speech and privacy, enforceable by Ofcom. I won't hold my breath on that one.

    iOS 26 beta: Selection tooltips are covered by Safari's native toolbar

    Reproducible on an iPhone but not an iPad, both running iOS 26.0.1/Safari. A short up/down scroll may separate the two menus.

    UK Online Safety Regulations and impact on Forums

    And to add to the above, I've just been viewing a UK based site where the majority of the front page is plastered with huge notices proclaiming 'Content not viewable in your region'. You really need to think twice before allowing embedded content on your site. [EDIT] I'm now seeing multiple...
