Indeed but there would be a riot if it ever got changed.

Although I'm not a huge advocate of threaded platforms, they seemed well suited to DPreview. To an extent it's what you get used to, https://forums.thinkbroadband.com/ being another example where threaded replies seems to suit well. It's ugly but it works. I can understand why DPreview have...

I would get a quote from @MySiteGuy

You're over complicating things although to be fair the wording that @Jeremy P used does seem a little confusing. You simply need to replace a file on your server with the supplied file of the same name. So download the attachment and unzip it on your PC. You then need to upload that unzipped...

I would at the very least take a copy of your database before you go ahead, just in case any unforeseen circumstances arise.

Exactly, as long as a proper process is followed the member should have no way back. Give them the opportunity to identify their PII, delete it and anonymize the account. If the account is properly anonymized all the information that is personal to them including their user name, password...

I'd argue some of the replies in this thread are a little misleading. Ofcom's primary function is to enforce the Online Safety Act so unless your site is in breach of that Act Ofcom would not act on any report. The UK laws that are relevant to the situation described are GDPR and the Data...

You should be able to use the spam cleaner to do it. Personally I'd shy away from doing something so radical. 48,000 is an insane number of posts which will inevitably disrupt the flow of content if deleted. A better option in my view would be to ask the member to identify any PII they have...

In regard to security concerns, vulnerabilities in Xenforo and its dependencies usually get reported elsewhere not just here so the low count is generally a testament to the quality of coding.

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...

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...

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.

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...

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?
