Ad Ons Review

[Bionic Rooster]

Are ad ons reviewed by anyone besides the developer to assure that they meet the standards and suitability for Xenforo application? Or are they just listed in Resources without scrutiny?

 

[Daniel Hood]

They're just listed in the Resources without scrutiny. If an add on is of really low quality though, you'll know by the reviews and by the discussion.

No.

Or are they just listed in Resources without scrutiny?

Yes.

Rule of thumb: Don't use any addons that @DRE hasn't used.

Some of the addons are as good as Xenforo itself.
Most addons are safe to use.
Just ask some people about the addons you are considering.

Forinstance: I'd say all the addons on this page ..
http://xenforo.com/community/resources/categories/add-ons.28/?order=rating_weighted
and their Authors are excellent and you shouldn't hesitate to use their addons.

This. And also agree that you can judge the resource at hand by viewing the review/review comments and the resource discussions.

Then that means use any of them!
