Lurkers are probably ok because they may still click an ad or buy a T-shirt or something.

1. I don't know anything about civic engineering but I'd contribute by simply asking a question (or two) of another poster. We're assuming that the owner would have made a post or two by that time. Even a simple "Where is this located?" in reply would be valuable. Or "I always wanted to visit...

Not sure why, it only takes a few minutes. I'd do it. I'd simply stop by here once a month and go do a few of them. If enough people would do this, there would be no problem getting off the ground with posts.

How do you differentiate a "troll" from someone who is just consistently negative? Maybe they're not actively trolling, but their posts are seldom positive.

What if this site had a subforum called "Getting off the ground" where members here could help out and go make a few posts on a new site? So if someone buys a license and sets up their Xenforo message board, and they need the first page of each subforum filled up, the community (here) could go...

Thank you for the replies! Does uploading the images from your own hard drive like this, affect a "Theme"? The way you install a theme seems like it might not use this method of adding a background image. Just wanted to check.

You add the code by going to Appearance>Templates and then using the search bar to search for extra.less

Hi all, I'm looking to set my background image. I thought it would be there under Style Properties. The Ai chatbot says what I posted below. But to me, that looks like the image will have to be hosted somewhere like on ImageShack. I would rather it be installed on the same server I have Xenforo...

As a newbie that may be a little outside my expertise. Perplexity says "To find the src/config.php file, navigate to the root directory where you installed XenForo on your web server. Inside this directory, you should see a folder named src. The config.php file is located within this src...

Please see the image below. As you can see, it's going to do this every 30 days. I believe this will annoy my members, and I'd like to turn it off. The Ai chatbot wasn't much help this time. That account is the admin account. Thank you

Thanks! Any thoughts on question #1? Looking at the link you gave me, it looks like most themes are pretty basic. Compared to the link I shared for what I want to mimic, seems like it's gonna take some work. Does that sound accurate to you? Just trying to get a feel for what I'm attempting.

I have several questions so it's probably best if I number them. They are - 1. I am not a programmer and I'm likely not even a good script kiddie. I know almost nothing about coding, so theming out my forum is proving somewhat difficult for me. Would I be better off just hiring someone to make...

A bit of confusion here... Is version 2.3 already released?

I am on version 2.2.15 Thanks for the code! It appears to have given me a space themed image, along with the "floating" effect I wanted. However, it does look like The garage journal still managed to group the sub forums together. Like they're all one mass. Here's my forum...

How difficult would it be to mimic this look? I like the floating "body" of forums over the vintage looking image. As well as each sub forum having a little logo in front of it. Would this be difficult to replicate? Something tells me it's not just a theme I can get from somewhere and install...
