I find it highly disappointing that cloning technology hasn't yet gotten to the point where I can create one copy of myself for each of our products so that they can all receive my full attention, so I guess we're both out of luckWhile I highly recommend this addon to other admins (for non-corporate use) I find it disappointing that there has been no feature release since February and not even maintenance releases.
I'm glad your site isn't the only XF site on the internet then, or I would have wasted my time working on all these XF2 updatesIts great that you are working on XF2 releases, and that will be of much use when we upgrade our sites in 2019.
Any future updates to the XF2 version will be accompanied by an update to the XF1 and vB versions, as they are all running the same code base so only platform-specific integrations and templates will differ.I do hope that you will consider to update this product for XF1. Your last line seems to indicate this and I am hoping that I am understanding this correctly.
That being said, please do be aware that just because I finish the initial batch of XF2 releases does not mean I will have all the time in the world to redesign the systems of this mod to meet your exact needs and specifications. Not only are new mods needed to sustain the business (simply maintaining existing mods would see us go out of business), but contract work also takes priority over free updates.
I am aware that you have usability issues with this mod. I am also aware that you have been burned by 3rd party developers in regards to custom work in the past. Even taking both of those points into consideration, I cannot justify prioritising providing you with free updates to this mod over paid contract work.
If you need the usability issues corrected yesterday, I would need to ask you to consider submitting a custom work request @ our site with a complete list of changes you require, with as much detail as possible. If that is not an option for you, then I can only apologise for needing to delay providing the updates to this mod.
Unfortunately I am not aware of any method of detecting whether an IP address is a residential, commercial or cellular IP address, sorryIP banning I think needs to be combined with type in order to work. You can't ban cellular-based IP addresses in the US. You will get false positives all over the board. For the same reason, you can't use a User Map addon that uses IP addresses for locations in the US. It doesn't work.
