    Stopforumspam - best settings

    With the stopforumspam plugin on a VBulletin installation, the logs can easily be viewed to determine why a signup was denied such as bad username, email address or ip address. We have a situation where there are times a user might get rejected and they contact us asking why, so we need to be...

    XF 2.0 Anyway to export/import usergroup/node Permissions?

    I apologize for reviving an older thread, but this one seemed the most appropriate. Has anyone tried the export - import of usergroup permissions as stated above in post 2? Or is there a recommended addon that could help? I have been doing some testing of a VB4 import, and I am a little...

    is there big difference between managing vps and dedicated

    Biggest difference for most users is reboot time. Depending on the equipment a dedicated can take minutes longer for hardware detection and quick scan, DRAC card diags, memory scan if enabled, drive detection and scan depending on setup etc, whereas a virtual could easily boot in under a minute...

    XF 2.0 How maintain current XF forum thread and post URLs and have WordPress in root directory as well?

    Since both the forum home page as well as the wordpress home page would be index.php I do not see a logical way this would be possible. When you arrive at domain.com/ how would the webserver know which home page to serve? You may be restricted to needed to putting the wp install into a...

    changing/removing "forums" & "threads" in URL

    Has there ever been a change to or better answer then post #2 above? Considering moving a 20 year old forum that is in the sub folder /forum/ There is also a custom built CMS that is in the root domain so putting the forum in the root is not possible. It appears to be no simple way to...

    Best learning resource

    Not a bug GDPR violation: "Reset password" function leaks (registered) email addresses!

    I have to agree that I do not see this as a GDPR violation, and as Rob pointed out even though email addresses are personally identifiable information, they are not being disclosed or leaked if they are previously unknown.

    XF 2.1 Importing XF2 - XF2 error with data folder

    My first thought might be that the data folder might not have had the appropriate permissions needed during the import. Check the permissions on that folder from the install guide.

    Fixed Must log an IP using setLoggedIp() before saving

    Thanks and glad to see this will be fixed soon. I look forward to giving the import another run as soon as the revision of the importer is posted Is it possible to import all other aspects of a forum, and then run the importer later for just the blogs, or would that be a potential conflict due...

    XF 2.1 Redirect issue on an Installation on IIS 8.5

    As I stated previously, I had already successfully installed and ran xenforo stock install on IIS previously, using helicon so redirects were handled in the /forum/ folder by htaccess. It turns out that we needed to move the web config file changes into the root folder, on a server that is not...
