better content discovery

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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.

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...

Please consider to add settings for XFMG media index: Display Album media Y/N Category chooser (display media from specific categories) Display Media Types: Image, Video, Embeds Prefixes (assuming prefixes will be implemented) With such settings we would have the tools to display a relevant...

The XF Global Newsfeed (recent-activity) is really great as it shows all new content from any content type. But IMHO it's too chaotic to become popular. By providing no way to filter between useful data and irrelevant data people are just not using it. Please add a way to filter...

Currently new content can be found in tabs on find new. Each content type has a tab. Some addons have multiple content types. If you have a lot of addons you can easily have 15+ tabs that need to be clicked to discover all new content. This of course is not intuitive nor effective. Please add...

Users should be able to set their preference to what they want to see in recent activity. Users may want to ignore content from some forums. Users may want to hide likes. Users may want to show more Recent Activity. Users may want to only see the last post of a thread instead of showing all...

The main tag cloud shows most popular tags. Once the tag database gains maturity this cloud will mostly remain the same over the years. What is more interesting for users is what is happening now. Which tags are gaining most views and replies in the last X days? A tag cloud made trending tags...

It would be very useful to have the new posts sidebar block refresh, so that users do not need to refresh the page to see what's new. Not only is this useful, it also gives a interactive and modern feel on the main forum index.

It would be very useful to be able to watch a tag. This way a member can subscribe to discussions on content that interests the member. This would be a very powerful way to keep members interested, as they would receive alerts about content that interests them. This would also be very useful...
