The preferences on Xenforo will be a different set to vBulletin. I advise to change the defaults that Xenforo sets if you want anything different.

Tony,
I do not think that is the case.? All mine are set, in fact I have not even touched them.

Hi Paul,
Are you confirming that some of your options are unchecked in the same manner they were on the original forum?

 

[Jon]

Ads all need tweaking and sorting. Bear with me, might take a few days.

 

[Gasman]

TBH I never played around much with the options in the old software. I set a signature. a strapline as Colin calls it and then an avatar and that was as much as I can remember. Then I created my ignore list, just before we moved.
I can confirm however that all the notification checkboxes in this software for me are checked, but I do not get any emails if an ignored member posts.

Edit:

I would point out that in Privacy, the default to view your profile page is All Visitors, as it is for a couple of others.?
I've just changed all mine to Members Only

I don't have anyone in my ignore list on AWF, well not yet anyway! My patience has been pushed to the Limit recently! Therefore I am unable to confirm the email situation regarding ignored members.

 

[Gasman]

Put me on it as a test?

probably by me.

 

[Micron]

Have you tried removing and adding one member afresh?

I will have to try that.
Jon, there is no option (button or link) that I can see on the ignore list page like there was before. It makes sense that you can (I think) simply click on their avatar in a post to do that, but to not be able to do it on the ignore page doesn't make sense. Now I have to find a post by 'youknowwho' just so I can re-establish the ignore to test Gasman's theory.

 

[Jon]

I blame the software developers.

 

[Micron]

Well, a recent post made it easy to find...
As for the settings, I don't see anything that applies to the subject of emails from an ignored poster. Perhaps I can't see the connection between any of those settings and the subsequent email.

 

[Gasman]

One way to do it, would be to ignore me, then I will post when you confim I am ignored, then I will post again and see if you get an email?
Then it is up to you to take me off the list or not.? This software actually keeps the ignore list intact, just un-ignores them, which is also quite nice. You do not have to add them again.?

 

[Micron]

I will post when you confim I am ignored

done

 

[Gasman]

Ok, here is my post when Micron has me on his Ignore list.

 

[Jon]

I'm going to give you all a bit of a shock in a minute.

Edit: Hit a snag. Pending.

 

[isladogs]

So the shock isn't like UG's one minute vacation?

 

[Jon]

That gave me a shock!

 

[Jon]

Just upgraded the forums to the latest patch version. i hit snags - 503 errors. I was so worried the forums became corrupt! Phew, glad that is over. Fixed now.

 

[vba_php]

holy cow, Jon! what's with this darkness!? this looks like the Python IDE "Pycharm"! Are you going to keep things this way? Why did you do this?
