    Should dark/light mode be a standard now?

    I'm sure other forums have brought it up. It's a good topic. I definitely think it should be a standard on most forum software out there. I'm glad to see XenForo making it a feature on their software.

    How often do you make new posts?

    That's about how I do it. I unplug on the weekends so I don't post as much. I think that's an important thing to do. I remember when I wanted to stay at home and just post on the forum. It became overwhelming, burnt out, and not so fun.

    SEO Register to view

    Many people say forums can't do well with SEO. This is because most of the content is user-generated. You can't force your members to create content in a manner that's SEO-friendly, right? So, a lot of the SEO tactics just don't work out as they do on a blog where you control the majority of...

    What are your best members using?

    When it comes to your best forum members (the most active ones), what are they using to access your forum? Desktops or mobile devices? Is this something you try to find out from them? Is this something you take into consideration when ensuring your forum design meets modern expectations for...

    If you can't detect AI on a forum...

    If you can’t reliably detect AI… should you even try? AI is only going to improve. AI will eventually match the voices, writing styles, and grammatical styles of the users who generate content for forums. In fact, with an advanced prompt, this is probably already possible. That means people...

    Members and Staff Delete your own posts

    Do you give active members the option to delete their own posts? I'm not talking about those who demand you delete their posts. I'm talking about actual active members with the ability to control the forum and delete their own content. Is this something you allow on your forum? If yes, why is...

    Members and Staff Your built-in spammer protection radar?

    What’s your #1 “this user feels off” early warning sign when it comes to spammers? We all get those new members who join and just don't seem right. Some of them slip through the cracks, but they usually teach us something more about spammers each time.

    Members and Staff 3 Strikes or Instant Ban?

    Posting threads like they're blog posts

    Typically, when I post a thread, I will use a 1-2-1 structure system in how I format the content. I post a sentence then line break and include two sentences together and then line break and include another sentence. Sometimes I post longer threads. But my question today is - should we be...
