A banned member is still posting on my forum, I checked his permission, he is not allowed to do anything, why is this? It's never happened before, thanks!

No groups under "Secondary User Groups“ was checked.
That setting should look something like this:
By default there is no "banned" usergroup in xenforo. I suspect the perms are muddied because either your accounts are in a primary usergroup other than "Registered" or, you have created that "banned" usergroup and its perms are overriding the ban. The above is pretty common for vBulletin people to do when they first start using xenforo instead.
That's what I thought until I saw his posts.
The permission tab on "Edit User" page does show "no" for every permission. But "Analyze permissions" gives him permissions because he is in "Registered" group.
Did you ban them on XF or on vB?
The way it checks is if the

is_banned column on the user table is set to 1, that's separate from the bans table.

That's good to know.
Everything looks right now, except he can post.
On XF, it's converted a few years ago and has been running smoothly since then. A very active forum, more than 1000 posts per day.
Only 2 official addons.
No.
I was thinking the same thing, maybe the banned state wasn't synchronized across the board. But the ban was done 24 hours ago.
Now the banned user was offline, he stopped after making 2 posts. Let's see if he will post again, maybe he couldn't post any more?
Tested it, ban on other members does work as expected.
Exactly the same, now I believe it's a temporary problem, as you suggested somehow the banned flag wasn't updated across the whole forum.
I will move on if he doesn't post again, which means the update is complete and he can't post any more.
