Do you know how many recent days are set to consider someone active?

In this case it's 180 days.

Limit auto-complete and birthday lists to active users
Similar to the previous option, username auto-complete and birthday lists are now limited to only showing users that have been active (somewhat) recently. The goal in both cases is to filter out users that are unlikely to be contacted or sought out.

As it stands, this is not option controlled and defaults to users active in the last 180 days.

It can be hidden from guests fairly easily with CSS.

Code: 
.LoggedOut  .Notice.notice_0
{
    display: none;
}
Though I wonder if there's much benefit to it being shown to guests at all.
 
Hey, @Chris D, having an issue. Thought it might have been the add-on, so I removed it (wasn't the add-on) so installed it again. Now, when I try to edit a notice and choose a custom (or any) background settings I get these show up. This is on the site that I did that test on (that's now live - so don't know if that might have had an effect on it).

EDIT:
Woot-Woot.. fixed it.. think the issue was that it didn't drop all the tables in the uninstall. I found the install.php for it, and used the alter table query in it for the re-install in phpmyadmin (it is good for something) and it reported that custom_easy_border already existed. When I removed the below from that alter table segment I copied, it ran fine and was able to save new notices once more.
Code: 
                ADD custom_easy_border VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',


Code:

I'll do some testing then but it sounds like it was probably something not being cleared out of the database before, therefore preventing the columns being re-added or something?
 
That's what I'm leaning towards. I'm running CentOS 6.7 with @eva2000's CentMin Mod - and @TJA and I have both had issues with cache(s) not being flushed with some add-ons and them either not installing correctly (missing DB tables) or, in my case, uninstalling incorrectly.
I'm running both memcached (libmemcached) and PHP's built in opcode caching (I've now set the
Code: 
opcache.revalidate_freq=0
instead of 180).
 
Nope, the uninstaller is broken. Doh!

It doesn't drop the custom_easy_border column from xf_notice, so when you uninstall and reinstall, the reinstall fails because the custom_easy_border already exists. Fix imminent.

Woot! I found a bug! Hershey Kisses w/almonds time for me!

Would modifying the install.php with
Code: 
            ALTER TABLE xf_notice
            DROP custom_easy_bg,
            DROP custom_easy_text,
            DROP custom_easy_border,
            DROP user_id,
            DROP auto_reset_value,
            DROP auto_reset_unit,
            DROP last_auto_reset,
            DROP next_auto_reset
suffice for a local install until then?

Yes, or just download the new version ;)
 
Someone outright asked me earlier if I had any Black Friday deals; usually I don't. But in a moment of weakness, I am actually going to be giving 10% off anything at https://xenresources.com until the end of the year.

This means you can get Xen Notices for only £18 until December 31st.
 
Thanks Chris
I have changed my licence URL . and deleted the addon in my old domain. can you please tell me which folder should I remove now to complete uninstallation?
 
If you're wanting to uninstall Xen Notices then you want to delete the library/XenNotices directory.

If you're wanting to uninstall Notifications then you want to delete the following folders:

library/GritterNotifications
styles/gritter
js/gritter
 
@Chris D: What's the intention that the redactor to edit/make new notices is a different one than the core one? Or in other words: Could you consider to use the core one in the next upgrades... pretty please. ;):)
 
No, it won't happen. One is for editing HTML and one is for editing BB code so they are different things anyway. The one used in Xen Notices is more like the default Redactor 8 before our BB code modifications to it.
 
Found a "Glitch": Even with "Enable Navigation Tab Link" deselected, "Notices" shows up in the Navigation Tab Bar while in Responsive mode (See screenshot). If non-responsive mode (desktop) and with enough space, it does not show up.
