I ran a search through a flat back-up on my computer, and my best guess is that these notes ( which are generally confused with user-notes when looking for 'xenforo notes', a note system for admins with too much time on their hands to make rude remarks about members, used elsewhere ) were...

I don't actually know, since I never used Notes; however I would certainly guess they are still in existence on the server ( and on my back-ups of the forum [ generally as tar.gz ] ) --- but not accessible unless XenForo has a slip-in Notes-like addon that can automagically pick up the old...

I rather remembered that there was some good stuff in the terms and service back in vbull --- no back-up showed pages and the old sqls seemed closed unless I installed vbulletin somewhere on the web, uploaded all the old files and reinstalled a database. The great Ernie Bevin, Foreign...

Earlier I mentioned some difficulties reinstalling Tapatalk due to their having lost the account, and waiting on them replying with log-in information. Still haven't heard, but I tricked the account by using various old email addresses until it suddenly offered to change the email, after...

Thank you elliptoid, very useful. Just now, as people are still giving, I can say that we raised just over £500 in the pool and there were other contributions: this paid for the XenForo and the paying of our hosts to convert and upgrade; any further monies will be held for future hosting...

Thanks, but you would have to explain how we can receive electronic currency first, and how many wallets would be needed... One for each currency ? I really don't know the first thing about these. Also I can trust myself with cash gifts, and when there is more than currently needed, reserve...

Stuffed plushies only.

He watches you, but does not judge.

Thanks anyway. There are so many difficulties with a lack of funds no-one can do a tenth of what they might wish to do anyway.

The forum change was only possible due to the generous giving of members. They won't be named here in detail, but to all of them the admins feel gratitude. And to those who couldn't contribute monies, but gave support. Thank you all.

According to our hosts I had installed the php rightly, it was just my browser blocker things stopping me seeing it. Which is ironic, local anti-spam measures stopping the view of grander anti-spam measures.

The Kitten Smilie for our logo is well-becoming and splendid.

I just rebuilt the Search Index, and deleted the old one, maybe that will newly improve it. Took about and hour and a half for 571,532 posts. Or more: to the number reported on the front page add a couple of thousand; and also to profile posts and threads as well... Best to watch out for...

Set it to 50 for now, although that may change if sufficient others speak here. Also increased a lot of limits for various things, from images per post, poll choice numbers, search results etc.. For other forums looking for such information ---- Google * shows it is a hot topic ---...

No need, for the next month or so editing time is unlimited, then to 2 days. A when editing just watch out at the base of the post for two boxes, one of which says 'Edit Silently' with an explanation. I saw it today as well.

The feed was turned off yesterday, even before Kuu's marvellous reworking that sent the sidebar way down south where it should be. Quite a few options have been made privater. Can't see why we should be intrusive.

Interesting. As a hint on how different the past was I've just come across a page on Punch and Judy from The Nada Farm Museum of Archetypes referenced in the Wikipedia of that name. It offers a pdf on the subject. This book is a must for anyone interested in Punch and Judy. The pdf file will...

Dunno. It appeared yesterday when I edited a post of mine. There no permission option in any user group ( I rather think it was a time setting in vBulletin ) other vBull forums I joined had the utterly absurd time of 5 minutes, giving the unpleasant choice between not editing or editing and...

Update: still wrestling with Tapatalk. Although installed, they need to enable, and they didn't recognise my old Tapatalk password --- making a new account didn't work. Emailed and they sent a verification txt to go in the root; but they haven't replied yet. And this place needs a key in...

Note: 'Friendly Urls' has been enabled as is only right and proper.

Yeah, there were two : ninja:, I renamed one of them to the old ( and strange ) name of : phear: And seeing the : storks: didn't come up, renamed the confused birds to that. The Search doesn't work at all. Then the vBulletin Search is always a crap-shoot on any website. :ninja: Many thanks...

Those who remember the past may recall that on vBulletin users could set their own preference for the number of posts per thread --- I go up to 200 the max since big pages are fine. Not everyone feels like that, which is why Options are the best. XenForo developers decided not to have such...

That's marvellous ! Now the front page looks like a decent forum.

I'm gonna think one can do that old school. Close the gaps in brackets: [ quote=Jon ] [ quote=Verney ] [ quote=Basil ] [ quote=Jon ] I downloaded 25GB of Metropolitan Museum of Art publications for free yesterday [ /quote ] Over 500 pdfs ? [ /quote ] Can you give the link ? [ /quote ] Sure [...

Democracy is for little girls.

Obviously the personal editing of posts time allowance will have to go down eventually, but in the mean time: SELECT Silent Edit each time, to prevent that annoying 'Last Edited' addition. vBull did have an off switch to disable the stupid thing, but here it's a fee-paying add-on.

I think it can go. There are no angsty teens in INTPForum.

So far... The wretched sidebar seems mandatory, at least until I figure out a way to put it a Footer block and move all those elements ( as in WordPress, called Widgets ) therein. However I eliminated profile posts widgets... And Share This Page. Who's gonna go on Twitter and share the...

Ah, I dislike that sort of thing myself. And forum portals generally.

XenForo automatically associates with StopForumSpam, but to be on the safe side I made a new API Key there and added that here ( maybe the old one was linked to the vBulletin structure in some way ). There was also a slot for a Project Honey Pot key, so I dug out my old account ( from 2012 for...

I think Profile Messages were always public on vBulletin. I would need more input before messing around with that.

I can't, not being a CSS Wizard, but Auburn/Kuu may if they think it suitable. I really like the new quieter pale straw colour on the Post Reply button, replacing a dull orange I think. Maybe the astoundingly unattractive orange balloons which spoil the Forums listing on the front page could...

There's no online light on pc so far, maybe there's a switch to turn it on. As for the [ sorta ] ad, I've no idea why or when half the smilies were uploaded: it's just there, and it would be morally wrong to load up an incomplete display. The green ones were Anthile's, and I definitely loaded...

Indeed, for now, until I get around to it, the Editing is set to Unlimited. I'll put it back to what I think it was, 48 hours ? when I have time. One has to look at every single group individually to set such permissions and one needs to make sure it is consistent.

The Reply button is at the extreme right. :nazi:

Where ? I just set the banning of over 3000 spam-adjacent email companies from gmail down...

Actually that is the totality of membership and admin collecting over a lifetime. Here it seems there is no handy box for the most favoured of their tribe, but one clicks the little Smilie above, next to Insert Image, and they all appear after a while. One clicks the one or so you want and...

Actually the Report button is now being seen on PCs.

Maybe resetting the permissions after the upgrade takes time to trickle through the database... As for the Profile bit, I don't think there was anything hindering editing for anyone; however looking at my own there's barely anything to edit, the whole thing looks bare compared to before...

As I said above Noble Users and Registered Users have permissions set to allow editing. The time setting ought to be a day or so, but at present it's Unlimited. I've been doing this a long time.

We are looking into missing post buttons over in General. It is Auburn, with Kuu, responsible for the gift of Dark Castle. Just installed Tapatalk for XenForo.

With the test user I saw an edit button... Just reinstalled Tapatalk, this time for XenForo.

Please say which Style Theme is being used for this sort of thing. It is very difficult for me to evaluate as, logged in I can see all because of the admin bit, but not logging in, being unregistered means I wouldn't see your controls anyway. Think I created a test user somewhere...

The permissions for Noble Users say they can edit own posts and edit profiles... And for Registered Users

Hmmm... I dunno why there isn't one. Seems obvious need, and certainly attainable since as admin I can see one on your posts, no doubt for admins to use. At the moment I'm trying to add smilies.

Once I recall it, it will have to be altered for every Style installed. On Claverhouse's blog there's an image by the great Gustave Doré, The Black Eagle of Prussia, which was simple to install in the header, but we'll have to go slowly with XenForo. Fortunately it does not seem to be the...

Note for anyone affected, the pointless two-factor log-in has kindly been disabled by our hosts. It was always over-kill. https://xenforo.com/community/resources/disable-two-step-verification-config-php.4550/

I investigated smilies before bed. Basically there's no third party V. 02 Smilie Importer ( the V. 1 one is obviously (!) incompatible ), and the XenForo devs seem kinda morose on some matters, prolly regarding such things as smilies as frivolous, so although I isolated both our old smilies and...
