    What is the best software to use to make a poultry forum?

    Those, to me, are not articles, but just a forum post. To use Xenforo's so-called "articles" as an example: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/xenforo-2-4-status-and-whats-new-under-the-hood.231562/ Even Invision Community implementation is lacking in some ways...

    What is the best software to use to make a poultry forum?

    I think one of the OP's major needs was the creation of "real" articles. Not all software can do that built in and one of the paid ones struggle and simply use a modified posting format and calls it an article. If going with WordPress, it might be better to look at that as the actual core and...

    What is the best software to use to make a poultry forum?

    I think SMF has an articles plugin that may work? https://custom.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=1354 And SMF is open source, so the only cost should be your hosting. Of the open source "old style" forum scripts, SMF is probably the most modern. From some basic research I also think...

    Profit Disclosing financial interests

    If you are gaining financially from pushing items, then yes that should be pointed out. I even have a mandatory field in my reviews section on the site to denote whether it was vendor evaluation unit, as frequently those can come with "requirements" attached to an evaluation unit. As for a...

    Connected Accounts

    Not really. The only main "connected account" that gets used is the Google one.

    Cloud vs. VPS

    The question is... what do you consider "cloud". Is that SaaS? Is that distributed VPS offerings? I think the better poll question would have been SaaS Self-Hosted since the cloud has expanded from what it used to be. Cloud is simply distributed computing and many shared hosting setups are...

    Forum Software Drama Killing Forums

    That depends. If all you want is a forum to discuss stuff, but the users of websites want more and you want to gain traction the you really need to offer that more. So yes, it is subjective to the admin... and frequently that admin "want" is out of step with what the users want - the thing...

    Do your forum members use mobile?

    That depends on the niche of the site. For my primary site niche, mobile is rarely used. Mine is just the opposite of the numbers of you stated.

    Connected Accounts

    Late to the party on this... Facebook has made it even more complicated to set them up now and you seem to have to have business info on file with them to use it. I know that the Xenforo developers have been pressed to update their manual to reflect the new requirements, but I don't think they...

    Black Friday 2025

    Instead of moving to another server (since my current one is no where near maxed out and it's hard to beat a $15 dedicated server with true server hardware) I ended up getting an BeeLink Mate Studio and two 8TB Samsung 9100 Pro NVME's that allowed me to add 16TB RAID0 storage to the new Mac M4...

    Is Your Forum Self-Hosted or Cloud Hosted?

    A lot will depend upon the admins ability to do system administration for the best bang for the buck. I personally will always choose self-hosted options. I've used Linux since it first came out on a TON of 3.5" diskettes. I'm comfortable with administering it from the CLI and now since I use...

    Getting sick

    Is that anything like taking Ivermectin horse paste from the local farm supply to treat COVID19? ;) Just joshing.. there are many "old home remedies" that work in todays age. When my throat is sore, I'll happily fall back to the hot water/bourbon/honey/lemon juice solution. it works due to...

    Black Friday 2025

    OVH Black Friday sales are active. I'm thinking about grabbing a SYS-1 system (twice the cores, a little more storage and 1Gbps pipe). It's only $30 a month and no setup fee. I'm currently paying $15 for the KimSufi one I have. I'm having a hard time though justifying it, other than the...

    Custom thread prefixes

    https://xenforohelp.com/topic/68/fa-icons-with-custom-prefixes It's not really that hard to do. The biggest thing is, especially when you get a list as large as mine, you have to make sure you open/close all the definitions. And yes, that site is well more than a "lets bash the Xenforo...

    CloudFlare having issues

    Yeah, I think the issue will be what I had commented on here and other sites about the sudden influx of bots that are hiding themselves as browsers and actually coming in from end user ISP devices, and most coming from what are considered 3rd world countries. There has recently been a BIG...
