XenForo 1.1 brings with it a powerful system to record and display daily statistics about your forum and its related data. This video shows you how.
Have you seen...?
This forum spotlights some of XenForo's interesting features. Spotlights on features in upcoming releases will be posted here.
In recent videos, you will have seen me using the new Admin Control Panel search system in XenForo 1.1. This video takes you on a little tour of the ACP search system, and then gives a little tutorial aimed at helping add-on developers create ACP search modules for their own XenForo add-ons.
It also serves as an example of why I should not record 'Have You Seen' videos at 2am.
The search system for XenForo 1.1 has had some attention, and now includes the ability to include members in search results, adds profile posts to the search index and allows more control over where to search, including one constraint that has been (extremely) frequently requested ever since we first developed the search system.
One of the most requested features for XenForo 1.1 has been the ability to define custom fields for your users. Here's a first look at the user field system we've built.
Although you will not have noticed it yet because of the permissions we have currently set here on XenForo.com, there has been work behind the scenes on the attachment system for 1.1...
Following on from our previous video about thread prefixes, this video shows some more prefix-related functionality.
With XenForo 1.1, it's now possible to (optionally) define individual smilies from a sprite image. This video shows you just how easy it is to use the system.
An eagerly-awaited feature for XenForo 1.1, here is a first look at the new thread prefixes system, with a special guest appearance!
In an attempt to decrease the number of HTTP requests made (and thereby speed up pages), virtually all of XenForo 1.1's UI icon graphics come from just two sprites.

Attached below are the 24 bit versions of the same sprites, for those of you who wish to edit them but don't have a graphic program which supports the 8 bit versions.
You may have noticed that the CSS running on XenForo.com is now minified...
Just saying :)
This video looks at some of the improvements we have made to the BB code media system in XenForo 1.1, allowing you to embed media from a far wider variety of sources.
Update:
Let's call this rapid feedback reaction or something buzz-wordy like that. Anyway, just a few hours after posting the last video, I have a little update for you :)
Welcome to a new series of Have You Seen videos, demonstrating some of the new features and improvements to come in XenForo 1.1.
First on the list: Notices.

This is just a quickie really, but I noticed today that Google has finally started to make use of the HTML 5 Microdata embedded in the XenForo breadcrumb.
This means that it is now possible to click through to the forums that contain the page that matched your search, directly from the search results page. :cool:
