better content discovery

    Community Spotlight mailing (Content that is Trending, Featured, views, reactions)

    Activity Summary emails provide an overview of latest content that the member has missed. The value of Activity Summary is that it shows recent content. Regardless of its value. Similarly, it would be useful to also send out a mailing with quality content: with Featured and Trending content and...

    Latest Polls Activity Summary definition

    There is no Activity summary for Latest Polls yet. Please add this. Please display the question and the poll options. When the user clicks a poll option, then open the link to the poll.

    Top Search Queries log & Widget (Show what users cannot find)

    It's very useful to be able to see what your users are searching for. They have been searching for topics that the site does not have yet. No content on the topics exist yet or there is content but its not coming up in search due to different wording. It means you are loosing users because they...

    Add a commenting system to Resource manager

    IMHO using threads to discuss resources is not optimal. The current method entails: Upon creation of Resource entries it creates empty threads. Google dislikes such empty content. For resource updates and reviews a placeholder post is added to the thread. When the resource is deleted, it leaves...

    Landing page per Thread Type: Questions, Polls, Articles, Suggestions

    XenForo has added Thread Types to cater to popular ways to use forums. There are currently 4 thread types in core: Question Threads Article Threads Suggestions Polls While these represent popular ways to use the forums, there is no way to browse the forums for these Thread Types. i.e. these...

    Better navigation menu / content discovery

    If a site has more than a few addons then the navigation menu becomes unusable. You will get a mass of hidden tabs that users need to horizontally scroll to. Each tab has its own drop down and these can easily go below the fold. As a result users get lost and leave the site. The users that stay...

    Forum Setting to Display Threads from Child forums.

    It would be useful to have Forum node setting to display the threads from Child forums in the parent forum. If this setting is active then posting a new thread would require the member to select the Forum. And similarly, I'd like to have the same for XFRM and XFMG, so that we can display...

    Setting to sort Tag pages by Last message, Views or Replies

    Currently content on tag pages are sorted by content creation date. This means that the most recent content and most popular content is not on top. For large pages or on mobile devices this means that the most interesting content can be below the fold (invisible when opening the page) Example...

    Embed XenForo widgets on WordPress or other software

    Please add functionality to embed XenForo widgets in WordPress or other CMS, so that we can display various XF content listings. This could allow us to display the latest forum threads on WordPress or featured XF content or whatever widget we may want to display.

    Personalize Activity Summary Email: only send content from nodes they are interested in.

    An activity summary can send out content that its totally uninteresting to the recipient. Maybe the member is only interested in one or two sub-forums of your site but dislikes some of the other sub-forums. If they receive content they dislike then most probably they will delete the email...

    No results for "your search query". Displaying results for 'your OR search OR query'

    Often my members try to search for something and cannot find it. My members are not happy with XFES. One of the most common issues is that they use the wrong search queries. For example if I want to find the HYS thread 'Rest API' but use the search phrase 'does a rest api exist?' then I get 0...

    'Hide' Function for all content types: forums, threads, resources, media, etc

    Reddit has a nifty 'Hide' feature. Facebook has something similar. Once you click it the thread, post or other content immediately no longer shows. This allows users to keep browsing when they encounter content that they find objectionable. This function has multiple benefits. Not only is it...

    PUSH notifications for Guests (Watch/Subscribe)

    One of the most promising opportunities that PUSH notifications offer is to communicate with guests and to pull in unregistered users. Please consider to add functionality for this. Here is how it could work: Ask the guest if they want to receive PUSH notifications. In admincp under 'contact...

    Similar Content Widgets (for any content type)

    Content Discovery is a major issue with XenForo when you have addons. When a user is browsing a forum or thread about a specific content, then the user is most likely interested in the very same topic in other content types. But this related content is often hidden in a category of an addon...

    Search & Filter Custom fields

    I would like to be able to search custom fields and also to be able to filter on custom fields. There are a lot of situations where this would be very handy. In some cases it would allow us to merge forums and just use custom fields instead. For example: in the bug reports forums here there is...

    Similar Threads for XFMG

    It would be very useful to display a similar threads block on media entry pages, because this would allow the reader to keep reading and find more content catering to their interest. It would also be good for SEO.

    Display threads the media is used/embedded in

    It would be interesting to display the threads the media is used/embedded in. This would provide interesting content to the reader and useful cross pollination of content. For example: one of my members pointed out that they were looking at a graph image and he knew that there were several...

    Display Media Reviews in /whats-new/

    New Media Reviews are currently not visible in /whats-new/ and members are often not aware of its existence. Please add this so that our members are also aware of new media reviews.

    One place for all watched content (and 1 click unsubscribe)

    If a member wants to see what content they have subscribed to, there are a lot of pages to visit. Especially if the site runs all XF addons and various other major addons. This is confusing for members. Which results in members not finding what they need to unsubscribe from email notifications...

    Media Index display settings
