What's your use case for the XenForo notices system?

[rdn]

Currently I use it for:

• Welcome guest message
• Birthday message
• Notice for users with no post yet
• Sometimes, an announcement for upcoming site or server maintenance

What else do you use it for?
Share, please.

I mean the feature located in /admin.php?notices/.

I use it in all the areas you mentioned and I made this suggestion to use it in even more areas:

Add-on Thread 'Time based notices/user criteria'

May 24, 2025

As you know, Steam performs maintenance every week and the same thread is opened many times in the forum every week. A time-based notice or keyword + time-based notice would be very useful. For example, if the word Steam is mentioned in the created thread every Wednesday between 10-11 pm, a notice can be issued. Or a notice can be issued automatically every Wednesday between 10-11 pm to inform members.

I have about 30 notices to guide guests and members through every step they take. From the creation of an account, email validation, adding avatar, introduction, going through steps to create new content, reminding of drafts, explaining bounced email status, etc.

You should make a resource listing out all of these. I can’t think of more than 10.

Are you using the stock system or have you modded it?

I use a lot of add-ons (custom as well )
For example we use @Bob 's UBS where users can post blogs and blog entries. If a member creates a new blog but no entry yet, then we display a notice on UBS pages to remind the member.

Similarly I have a custom addon to defer registrations that do not meet our requirements. Depending on the failed requirement we display a notice to let the user know what they need to do where. For example: choose a non problematic username and resubmit.

The same goes for bounce processing. We display a different notice depending on the bounce reason and status code.

I use conditionals a lot to only display a notice on a specific page and avoid multiple notices.
