    Performance issues?

    It's actually not great for sites when users use 3rd party services to host images because if you choose to close your account with the service (or have it closed for breach of terms) or it goes out of business then those images stop showing and it can make evergreen discussions that bring in...

    Performance issues?

    I should actually double-check this but by default Xenforo embeds these images although it does still create a thumbnail and it stores some data in the database. It can actually pull the image from these services and store it locally but I didn't specifically set that but as I haven't doubled...

    Performance issues?

    The site already takes your full-res imagines and converts them to a smaller more manageable size before permanently storing them. As with any kind of manipulation of files, it's better to start with as good a quality as possible as you then lose less noticeable quality during the process

    Performance issues?

    Spam appearing on site

    Spam appearing on site

    Oh and for any mods or Admins. If you see any spam on a thread use the Spam option that should be at the bottom of the post as shown in the attached image. That will remove the post, ban the user, remove all their other posts, show any duplicate accounts that you can then ban and will submit...

    Spam appearing on site

    Please use the report feature if you see any. Hopefully the mods will then see it (plus it lets me see it and I can add any words from the post that are obviously spam to the spam word list

    Igor's Camera Exchange- good or bad experience?

    Just so people know as some people reported it as spam the message according to google translate says Not very honest. I wanted to buy something from him twice, and when I contacted him via email and said that the wrong price was posted, the price immediately increased. That's obviously not...

    Forum Software Upgrade

    Is that any better? On the dark style I've made the read links a white that's got a bit of a grey tint. It's should be subtle enough that its not too glaring but differentiates a bit better

    Forum Software Upgrade

    The problem is if we do that then we are going to have others who want it the other way. If you are logged in it should remember what one you last used.
