xenForo released a new HYS for xenForo v 2.4. The core of it is highlighting chunked uploads. What is chunked uploads you ask? It is an upload system that will split large file uploads into multiple parts which makes it possible to upload files larger than what the server would normally allow. Is it useful? Yes and no. If you allow users to upload large files and had to set your php.ini upload limit high to allow it then yes it's useful. If you don't it's of no use at all. To me this is something that is available in other software for awhile now. Once again the xenForo team underwhelmed. They rest on their laurels and do nothing to innovate. If anyone actually thinks this is an earth shattering feature then they must be stuck in the 1990's. As most of you know I am not and never have been a fan of xenForo. I used the software for a time because it was the best for what I needed. That is no longer the case as there are many other forum software packages that offer way more and are actively developed. Some are even free. So while I dislike xenForo I do watch it to see if they start to innovate. I fear innovation isn't in their vocabulary though. What's your thoughts on this?

Once you decide to start a community you have to decide which forum software to use. Choosing the best forum software depends on your specific needs, such as ease of use, customization, and community features. Here are some popular options: Discourse: Modern and user-friendly, with features like real-time discussions, mobile support, and extensive plugins. phpBB: A classic, open-source forum software that is highly customizable and has a large community. Vanilla Forums: Offers both open-source and paid versions, known for its clean interface and integration options. Flarum: A lightweight and modern forum software that is easy to set up and customize. Simple Machines Forum (SMF): A robust and flexible option with a strong community and a wide range of modifications. MyBB: Free and open-source, it provides a good balance of features and ease of use. NodeBB: Built on Node.js, it offers real-time discussions and a modern interface, suitable for tech-savvy users. XenForo: A premium option known for its powerful features and excellent support, ideal for larger communities. Consider your requirements regarding scalability, features, and budget when choosing the right software for your forum. My personal favorite is xenForo. I do like Discourse and in the future I will create a forum using it.

Step 3: Customize the Style Edit Style Properties: Click on your newly created style to edit it. Modify the style properties such as colors, fonts, and layout. Customize Templates: Go to Templates in the style editor. Edit templates to change the HTML structure. Use XenForo’s template syntax to ensure compatibility with the system.

User Group Permissions: Adjust permissions for user groups to access the new style if needed. Step 7: Document Your Changes Keep a record of the changes made for future reference or updates.

By following these steps, you can create a custom skin for your XenForo forum that reflects your unique style. Questions? Post them and we will help you.

Now that Invision Community has been installed here for a few weeks what are your thoughts? I like it because I get a choice of viewing the topics first or the linear old forum list style. I like the permission system. I always did. The inheritance of xenforo never made sense to be. I like the admin cp the best. There are other things too. IPB used to be the software I used. I converted my sites to IPB during the vBulletin drama after it was sold. I liked everything about IPB. Rapid development, devs and staff communicating about new products and versions. I would have never left if it hadn't been because of a misunderstanding I had one of the staff members. I was told they couldn't help with a small problem I had because I run my sites on Windows Servers with IIS. I converted my sites to xenforo. Strange that now I am coming full circle. back to where I started after the vbulletin disaster.

As you can see things have changed in the last few hours. I installed Invision Community on a test site. I wanted to run the importers again, I did it on the test site with a million post forums, to see if the process could be sped up. I decided to use the Forum² data as the test. Everything went smooth. I then wanted to try my hand with the styles. It turned out to be easier than xenForo using the visual editor. Once I had everything set up I checked in here to see we had no new posts since I did the import. I decided to go ahead and make the switch. I had pretty much decided to do the conversion to Invision Community when I got to play with the test site. I didn't expect to do it this fast. In any case some things are different. Your login will work. You have to use your email address or username and your current password to login. In the future the option to use a username to login may be removed. Logging in with email is more secure. If you find any bugs let me know by posting in https://www.forum-forum.com/forum/29-suggestions-bugs-feedback/ This move makes us unique. We are the only admin forum that isn't using xenForo.

Yea I know it just got back. Can't be helped. I will be updating the xenforo from 1.5.14 to 2.3.3. Backups will be made first. When I start the backup I'll close the site. If everything goes well It should only be done a couple hours. See you all on the other side.

Guest posted a topic in Forum Software Discussions
Today we are releasing XenForo 2.3.0 Release Candidate 5. While the majority of this release is focusing on bug fixes and stability, there are a few noteworthy changes. Automatic legacy file clean up XenForo installations after upgrading to XenForo 2.3 will have a number of files sitting in the file system which are no longer used. Any XenForo installation that has been around for a while, will to a lesser extent, have a similar issue. These files on their own shouldn't present any... Read more Continue reading... -
This week in addition to a bunch of bug fixes, we've also been doing a spot of housekeeping in our code. The following is quite technically heavy so if you're a non-developer, shield your eyes and read the less boring bits. Much wider usage for class strings As a reminder, XenForo 2.3 brings with it support for using native PHP class strings. For example, originally we used "class short names" to point to certain classes. While these were easy to write, it makes refactoring classes... Read more Continue reading...

xenforo PSA: Solve Media CAPTCHA no longer functional and should be disabled
Guest posted a topic in Forum Software Discussions
Unfortunately it has recently come to our attention that the CAPTCHA previously provided by Solve Media is no longer functional. Initially it seemed like it was just their verification endpoint that was no longer functional, but it now transpires that their CAPTCHA challenges are no longer displaying either. If your site is currently configured to use Solve Media, it is highly likely that new users are currently unable to register an account on your forum. Even if that aspect starts...

xenforo XenForo & Add-ons 2.3.0 Beta 7 Released (Unsupported)
Guest posted a topic in Forum Software Discussions
Welcome to 2.3.0 Beta 7! Since our last release we have been mostly focusing again on bug fixes and stability, though we do have an interesting change to note related to multibyte strings, specifically URL romanization. If available, we now use the intl extension and perform a multi-layered process for normalizing and transliterating strings. This is now much more intelligent as it handles some special cases for certain locales (based on the default language of the forum). We also... Read more Continue reading... -
