    Forum Feedback AAF is really slow to respond

    Ahhh... the benefit of using Cloudflare and their WAF. https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/managed-rules/reference/owasp-core-ruleset/

    Forum Feedback AAF is really slow to respond

    Mod security can cause headaches with almost any script. You have to be able to check the logs and find where it may be conflicting. Honestly I have not used mod security in ages on any of my sites.

    What did you do to promote your forum today?

    Not a whole lot honestly. Been doing captures and working on a special project for a few of the sites. Give you one guess what is in the planning stages. And you only have 3 choices. :ROFLMAO:

    Has anyone got 1 million posts yet?

    That's happening to a lot of admin sites though. I'm getting where I am less and less inclined to visit them since I'm not in it for the money and have more interest in reading more technical aspects of the hobby. Me, I don't get many posts.. but it is nice to be known as the primary...

    Do any forum software compare to Xenforo?

    Again, you are reading into it what you want to see. What I am saying is that a FORUM ONLY site will usually not succeed with todays internet user. I don't care if it's Xenforo, Invision, Woltlab, NodeBB, SMF, myBB, phpBB or whatever. The users are looking now for a different experience and a...

    Do any forum software compare to Xenforo?

    No, you ASS-UME that I made that point. I simply pointed out the fallacy that a script that offers little to what is needed in todays environment of users does not equate to what it costs to make the two on equal footing. You make an assumption that I claim one is better than the other. I...

    Do any forum software compare to Xenforo?

    And that is the point. What works for one might not work for another. The admin needs to look at the overall requirements of the site, then look at what softare (and/or add-ons) meets those needs. Way to often we have cult members of every script stripe touting theirs is the best, but when...

    Do any forum software compare to Xenforo?

    No, you have to draw the traffic in before the content becomes king. If you don't give the users what they want, they aren't going to participate. You can't hold a gun to their head and force them to as much as you might wish you could. Hell, my Astro site gets a LOT of traffic to it. Mainly...

    Do any forum software compare to Xenforo?

    Really? Remind us.. when was IGNBoards started? Pretty sure it was around 1996... when is the EXACT period that I commented about when forums were easy to start. Once you have traction, maintaining it is fairly easy. Care to give us a few examples from 2022, 2023 or 2024 that compare. I...

    Do any forum software compare to Xenforo?

    Still equates to a minimal number. But ahead and try to defend Xenforo. In fact, YOUR stats point even MORE to why isn't XF doing more than it is if hey are bigger than Invision in licenses sold and all the other crap you are trying to promulgate. If they are that successful monetarily, why...

    Do any forum software compare to Xenforo?

    Wow... a WHOLE 2%. Again... being that "close" and one company being able to have more developers and advance their script the way they have and another not... has to make one wonder doesn't it. Especially when you see none of the signs of "impending doom" that you want to infer. :sneaky...

    Do any forum software compare to Xenforo?

    Usually latest means the most recent. ;) And to do that, you have to use the latest (most recent) Xenforo. Bob does not backdate updates/new features into older versions. And currently his add-ons are the most comprehensive that will get Xenforo onto par with what can be done by the Invision...

    How often do you have to upgrade your server?

    Not going to happen with provider supplied equipment. You will be obtaining a new server that supports the hardware configuration you want. The only time you will get motherboard "hands-on" swap-out is generally when their is a MB failure on the hardware that the vendor is supplying. And if...

    Do any forum software compare to Xenforo?

    No, generally if you want to use the latest "add-ons" you have to update to the latest Xenforo (specifically in the case of XenAddons offerings). That was the only reason I upgraded my site to the 2.3.x line was the add-ons. It sure wasn't because of anything that Xenforo brought to the table...

    How often do you have to upgrade your server?

    "Scaling up" is easier on a VPS instance than a dedicated server. The only way generally to "scale up" up dedicated hardware that you do not own is grabbing another server instance that has the hardware requirements you want and migrating over to it. Sometimes a hosting provider can help with...

    Do any forum software compare to Xenforo?

    Only if you have multiple licenses apparently, or they forgot to update their website. ;)

    Do any forum software compare to Xenforo?

    It's not suspended... it's invalidated and you have to buy a new license if you don't renew in 2 years. Their reasoning behind this from what I understood was allegedly to help pay for the self-hosted option as they had clients that were not renewing regularly and might go 2-3 years before they...

    Do any forum software compare to Xenforo?

    My biggest issue with Xenforo is their glacially slow pace of end user feature updates. But a lot of that is their core dependence on outside developers to extend the bare-bones features they typically do offer. This habit of offering a basic implementation of something instead of taking the...

    Forum Feedback AAF is really slow to respond

    For me, it's never been a regular issue. But it usually is early in the AM (Central Time) that I notice it since I am usually up at night and asleep during the day.
