XF 2.1 Welcome to XenForo 2.1 / Assorted improvements

Welcome to XenForo 2.1!

We said there would be something special accompanying the final HYS in this series for XF 2.1, and here it is. This is your first opportunity to help us put the new feature set through its paces.

We also said there would be a number of other miscellaneous changes/improvements to show you, so read on for more

Thank you for reconsidering your decision according to user demands.

We would be very happy if New posts link added in place of Bookmarks as our members usually click on Bolt icon and as soon as page loads they shift to New posts.

Many forums don't use XF MG, RM so What's new page is somewhat less used than New posts page.

If that is not possible, atleast provide an option to change Bolt icon link from What's new to New posts page.

Having that menu configurable would be perfect. We already add it in a link to the forum homepage there but it means editing a template every time we upgrade.

Well, the announcement of Authy without any word of a U2F compatible hardware key like Yubico means we probably won't be seeing one. No big deal for most people, but I sure would love to see it as part of the core. Also perhaps a failed login attempt count, not sure if that is there.

Last poster avatar on the forum list

Speaking of avatars, we've also added last poster avatars to the forum list.

To give us enough space here to fit the avatars in, we've changed the threads/messages stats to display in a short number format, e.g. 1.4K rather than 1,396.

I've just noticed that there is no last post avatar in the forum view (ie go into any forum and there's no last post avatar on any thread). This seems inconsistent. All add-ons for last post avatar have always added them there too. Maybe this can be added prior to 2.1 final release?

Super excited

salute to the dev team and to xf users as well. Nearly all bugs have been naturalized in short time period.

 

[Charlie J]

Thank you so much! It’s so epic to finally get to see featured we used to see in Addons such as LastPostAvatar etc.

Amazing job!

 

[Kerby]

Some great new features, looking really good and congrats on pushing it live!

Push Feature

Fuddy duddies can do a quick page inspection and disable border-radius for .avatar and then everything's back to sharp-cornered normal

^ advanced BB code image editing FTW

How did you make the photo in the first post quoted above in a separate column? Was that using tables? It doesn't look like it's showing up in the quoted post tho

Awesome work as always!

Can I just say again how much I’m looking forward to this! I’m hoping to become a developer and learning code as we speak!

Highest praise to all the hardwork done by XF team. I think many of us who started with XF during earliest days and stuck with them through the lowest point, it's a validation on our belief to see this day comes.

looks like this was implemented

Hello there, What is the date of publishing the update?

 

[Ozzy47]

The answer is, as it always is:

When it's ready™

Possibly late this year, or probably early next year.

 

[KSA]

When will this be available as a demo as some including me needs to start working on translation.

When we release a public beta.

Some addons will be soon uninstalled with these wonderfull natives functionalities
Excellent Work
Happy to use a such active platform
