    Quoting Improvement

    I've seen that happen multiple times but I've also seen people post a quote after they have posted a reply, presumably because they forgot to include the quote. It seems you can't easily edit a post to add a quote because 'Insert quotes...' is not available on a post edit?

    Do you have to buy the copy every time?

    Threads of this nature would benefit if the default state was 'sort by vote'. Negative votes given for incorrect or misleading information would soon sink to the bottom of the pile.

    XF 2.3 What's new with Enhanced Search, Resource Manager and Media Gallery in XenForo 2.3?

    Thanks for that. It obviously never occurred to me to hit return or 'Search' which makes me wonder if I'm just to old to rock and roll or if the popup functionality is not entirely intuitive.

    XF 2.3 What's new with Enhanced Search, Resource Manager and Media Gallery in XenForo 2.3?

    Perhaps I'm missing something obvious but the popup results seem limited to the point of being superfluous. Am I right in thinking that I now have to use an 'Advance Search' to get the same degree of results that a simple 'Search' previously returned?

    XF 2.3 / 3.0 release date

    I'm sure @Chris D eats lives and breathes Xenforo but he's one of a team and it sounds somewhat disingenuous to assume he alone is responsible for future releases. But regardless, boom... 2.3 gets released, takes everyone by surprise and we all panic because we haven't renewed our licences. Or...

    XF 2.3 / 3.0 release date

    Because it's going to be so popular it might be all sold out by tomorrow.

    Xenforo vs vBulletin vs Invision - history of vulnerabilities (Xenforo the clear winner)

    When comparing vulnerabilities it's worth noting the actual payload e.g. vBulletin's worst data breach not only compromised forum users but also customer accounts including names, addresses, birth dates, security Q&As, email addresses, home page URLs, IM identities, IP addresses and passwords.

    how can i make sure my forum stays up after i die?

    To add to what's been posted above, you really need to make your wishes clear in a will. You might for example not want to your site to remain live or in some cases your site might have financial value that can be passed on to a named beneficiary. It is also imperative someone other than...

    Please tell me we're getting a fixed text editor soon!™

    vBulletin's current editor provides an easy option to remove the two main button bars leaving the user with something very similar to your screenshot so you get the best of both worlds. It's one of the few things I really like about that particular product.

    Please tell me we're getting a fixed text editor soon!™

    Probably for much the same reasons it's being replaced here. It has multiple unresolved problems over a wide range of browsers and devices. Reported issues of which there are currently 137 take an age to fix and security issues are left active between versions. Really? I'd say that looks far...

    That's a bit harsh, I wouldn't wish Froala on anyone, even vBulletin 😊

    XF 2.3 Trending content

    Before reading these posts I was holding back from asking what I suspect a lot of forum owners might consider an irrelevant question, namely just how far back will the algorithms go. Personally I find a lot of older content on my forums to be just as relevant today as it was twenty years ago...

    XF 2.3 Passwordless logins with passkeys

    This is the kind functionality that makes me want to migrate my forums back to Xenforo. Now, about that new editor... :p
