After 2.3 do I need these addons?

[Alvin63]

Still trying to work out which changes have been made since upgrading to XF2.3. I know there is a lot of new stuff. These are the current addons I have - are any of them no longer needed if stuff is built in please?

Collapse hamburger menu (think I still need this for mobiles?)
Highlight sticky threads
Change Author
Change date
Conversation search plus
Duplicate account check
Convert Image (converts hotlinked images to attachments)

Conversation search plus

You won't need this anymore.

 

[Alvin63]

Thanks. Is that built in now?

 

[Old Nick]

Yes.

Search

xenforo.com

 

[Alvin63]

Thanks

So if that is built in, is it just for admins or for all?

 

[Old Nick]

Are you admin here on XenForo Community?

 

[Alvin63]

Ok so it's for all - presumably then that means all messages aren't private any more then?

Are you admin here on XenForo Community?

Yes, I think I am. Because I can access the search.

Conversation Search Plus allows user groups (eg. staff) to read everyone's private message.

XF 2.3 has a direct message search feature, but I don't think it lets admins read their member's conversations (not that I'm aware of, anyway)

Andy has an addon to replace the previously named one in XF 2.3:

Direct message search plus

Allows searching all direct messages.

Thanks. Ok I'm with you. I only used Andy's Conversation Search Plus to find messages I had started with certain members and couldn't find again later anyway. If XF 2.3 allows you to find those messages by searching then maybe that is all I need.

Search only returns results for content you have access to.

Thanks. That's all I need.
