Can you make it possible to see the pictures as attachements also in facebook (over the share button)
I hope Xenforo 2.0 builds in a function for users to change their name, either by request or permission.
I love to see Xenforo improving regularly! Gotta keep ahead of the competition, namely IPB.
Where's the problem with that?
Request: "Admin, please change my user name" ... Admin changes the username, done.

Can you imagine a site where users can change their usernames willy nilly? You'd never know who you were talking to or dealing with.
The point is automation. Like the report system. As a user, you send in a request through the system, and it's either accepted or denied!Where's the problem with that?

Or allow the user to change their own name, if they have the permission node.
Or allow a moderator to accept and deny the name change request, if that moderator has the permission node. So that the moderator doesn't need access to the admin panel for users simply to allow a name change.
Could you imagine a website where users could just post in a thread willy nilly without an admin manually posting for them? You'd never know what they might say. It's called automation!
Not everyone runs a Xenforo website of ~20 active members talking about motorcycle traveling on the interstate, where the admin is everyone's personal friend.
Some community administrators, ones that run or plan to run larger installations and bought Xenforo for that purpose, need ease of use for their members and automation for the admin's sanity. It's what some people in part bought Xenforo for!
It's not happening in 2.0 but I believe there is already a suggestion regarding it in the Suggestions forum.
The merits of such a suggestion should be discussed there, not in this thread.
Im sure you realize that forums normally are all about posting in threads, while they normally are not all about changing usernames...
Isn't this exactly what normally happens? Obviously there sometimes needs to be moderation but on my forums this is what we do. I know there are addons that create fake users, or even forums whereby the admins create fake user accounts just to make their forums look busy. I don't like that idea at all.
If forums were only for creating and posting in threads, without any added features, then we wouldn't be buying Xenforo over an open source free-forum software...Im sure you realize that forums normally are all about posting in threads, while they normally are not all about changing usernames...

Because we think it's better?
Xenforo is the best forum software.
Second request: Please let's cease with the off topic conversation.
Ok, I won't respond to those people anymore about this topic.

Depends on the need of the site honestly.
For strict forum needs it is one of the better. There are requirements of some sites that extend beyond what is offered as 1st party add-ons (or built in) with XenForo (or even quality 3rd party) - but on those scripts I really miss the power that XenForo offers.
Maybe Xenforo 2.0 will have a few more major 1st party add-ons available?

VERY seriously doubt it. Maybe on down the road, but the prime concern will be getting the current ones up to XF 2.0 compatibility.
Will "Unregistered" & "Unconfirmed" user status be merged in 1 user status such as XF 1?
There is a difference between the two. Unregistered is guest users and unconfirmed is users that haven't completed email confirmation.
