    Do any of you not care about mobile users?

    Good luck. If it isn't a major issue to the sycophant developers.. especially when it comes to Xenforo 1st party add-ons.. issues with them them are ignored for years by those self-same Xenforo developers , with them not giving much attention to their license holders - who pays their bills -...

    Do you drink beer?

    Only beer I have found that I like to actually drink (I do more cooking with it) is Shiner Bock Blonde. Otherwise.. give me a nice pour of a 100+ proof bourbon.

    Which hosting company you don't trust?

    ☝️ Winner post. EIG is (and has been) a provider you just don't walk away from... you run. Sadly.. they sucked up a few decent hosting providers... and drug them to the sub-levels where things go to die.

    Telling people to search for the answer

    Yeah... this is my first real rodeo with Discourse. I'm finding issues that I am not happy with (like many plugins that will not allow the current version to rebuild)... but overall in some ways I like it better than NodeBB.... other than being an even bigger pain in the ass to run multiple...

    Turns out that is done by the advanced search banner component. It looks like you do have to manually turn it on.

    Telling people to search for the answer

    Touching base back on this. I found it interesting how Discourse took action to attempt to address this on their default installs.

    Is free forum software dying?

    One big issue I have found with Discourse... it is a REAL pain in the ass if you want to run multiple instances of it (for different sites) on one VPS when compared to NodeBB. In some ways I do like Discourse better.. but they have a LONG way to go to make it friendly to anything other than...

    Do any of you not care about mobile users?

    Want an example of how BS some of these "tests" can be? On my Edge & Steel site, PageInsights gives me a 100. GTMetrix gives me a 66. Using Pingdom and an Australia based test, I got a 97 on the same site.

    Have you ever used Country Block feature of your hosting service?

    I don't do country blocking at all because you can get valid users from those areas. Known malicious IP's will get blocked. Generally what I do is control by ASN when it is a server farm but still use managed challenge via CloudFlare. As mentioned also, I do block a lot of email domains from...

    Do any of you not care about mobile users?

    Some of it will be due to XF coding. But generally, most of those testing sites are targeted towards a more static content and not a forum style format. And yes, it does have some to do with how the software itself is coded. XF has made some strides in trying to optimize the speed of the...

    Is free forum software dying?

    Pretty sure the big issue is that it pulls them from a GIT repository. But NodeBB does the same thing, it just uses NPM to do it and it is easy enough to run npm install put_plugin_name_here. It seems that you cannot add users from the ACP in discourse either. Kind of a weird deal in case you...

    Is free forum software dying?

    I'm currently evaluating Discourse on Edge & Steel (a new site I am working on). And honestly, when compared to NodeBB, it is a lot more problematic. That is even with setting up a dedicated VPS running Ubuntu 24.04LTS and docker for it. So far, I'm not honestly that impressed. Installing...

    Do any of you not care about mobile users?

    Maybe they need to actually spend more time in improving the end user benefits and not so much what occurs on the back end that is more admin related? I realize that is a "strange and disconcerting" thought to the XF developers as they are seem to be fixated on things that bring the end users of...

    Do any of you not care about mobile users?

    Honestly.. for my niche, most of my users are desktop/laptop followed by mobile and then tablet. When it comes down to it mobile (cell or tablet) is by far the minority of users that access the site. So I'm a firm believer in targeting what your primary audience partakes from. Granted...

    Not upgrading

    In some aspects, upgrading to 2.3 from 2.2.17 was a real PITA as they did change many aspects of the FA offerings, especially due to the variable theme style. The sad thing is, for me, the XenForo script itself has not brought forth any major improvements that made me want to upgrade. As I...

    Not upgrading

    The only reason I upgraded my XF install was the opposite of this. Several of the major add-ons that I use were updated and added some features I wanted access to. But you had to be running XenForo 2.3 to use them. Otherwise, I would probably be still on 2.2.17 like the site I help on is.
