Over the last couple of months as my forum has grown, I've had certain bots swarming the site all at once. I have my forum on a VPS that's pretty decent and can handle a moderate amount of traffic, but not 500+ bots visiting at the same time on top of the members and guests. It got to the...

Is anyone using this add-on with Conversation Essentials? If so, are there any known conflicts between the two? I saw this post in this discussion thread from 2022 about a potential conflict, but I've not seen anything else. Edit: I took a gamble and bought it because it lets users personalise...

An app was often requested on the forum I worked on prior to March. The reason it was often turned down was due to costs; it would've apparently been too expensive for that multi-million dollar company. They might've been being cheap, though.

It's definitely not an easy thing to do. I've only had my forum for a short while right now, but I feel the reason it's doing well despite being so new is simply down to the fact that I built it with a community that I was already well-known in. If I wasn't already part of that community, I...

I have mine set to 18 on my forum. I know people lie, but it's more to cover yourself in terms of liability, from what I remember during my time working on a large forum.

I used to have to do this for a large forum. Whenever this was handled, it always just seemed to be enough to rename the account to “DeletedUserXXXX” and not remove or edit any of the existing posts. The only time posts were edited was if someone posted the eir real name or their details in the...

It still works. I'm glad as well as I was about to use an add-on, but I prefer doing things without having another add-on. Thanks!

There was a discussion on that here last year where someone wanted to make an add-on for AI-powered mod tools: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/need-your-thoughts-on-ai-powered-mod-tool-for-xenforo.222479/ Personally, I'd use AI for assistance, but I wouldn't replace my moderation team...

About how many spam registrations are you getting? I have new registrations just go straight to the approval queue for the moment. My team and I have a lot of experience identifying these, so it's not a big deal for us to do this, although our forum is still relatively new, so we expect these...

Thank you very much for taking that into consideration!

I second this as well, especially an alert for highlights specifically. Some users on my forum are confused when I highlight their posts as the current alert just says "your post was edited".

No need to apologise as I felt your suggestion was clear. This was requested on my forum as well. It would help clean up the notifications and improve the overall user experience when it comes to alerts, so I definitely support this.

I would absolutely love improvements to the trophy feature. I have members on my forum requesting this. They especially like the idea of seeing how many people have a specific trophy and beign able to see which ones they can still earn on the trophy page.

Hello! You know that built-in feature Xenforo has where you can show the reaction icons in the thread list on the subforum view? Some of the members of my community are asking me to add in a counter next to the reaction icons. Something that looks like (y)x4 I tried editing the...

I just wanted to say that's a cool looking forum you've got there!
