    email everything from watched forums?

    It doesn't exist. XenForo sends 'the first unread message' in a watched forum. Until you visit the forum and 'watch' the message (making another one unwatched), nothing will trigger. So, having a parallel mailing list equivalent of these forums is not an option.

    username problem

    BTW, you can always request a username change, the barrier is only applicable to sign-ups.

    username problem

    It is sad it had to come to this, but banning a large list of Firstname entries has literally kept thousands of spammers out in just a few days. Just type Lloyd or Arthur into the search box at https://stopforumspam.com/search. It is what it is.

    Forum Time Zone

    So far as I know, the forums are totally time zone agnostic, they use Unix seconds internally. Your browser is totally responsible for showing you the correct local time. Compare it with https://www.epoch101.com/ and https://www.epochconverter.com/ which work the same way.

    Why FreeBSD? Why not Devuan?

    Is there a Handbook? Is there a FAQ? Nobody is going to do your homework for you.

    Fifteen second wait for profile posts?

    This measure was put into place to prevent angry leaving members from sitting down and deleting all of their posts out of spite, potentially ruining hundreds of topics. It is possible for an admin to reinstate all of those deleted posts (and they will), but it is a lot of work. Anyone who wants...

    Fifteen second wait for profile posts?

    It is not so much an anti-spam feature as it is an anti-chat feature. Before this 'cooling off timer' was imposed, there was quite a lot of rapid-fire back & forward, especially between people who didn't really get along and started bickering. No two specific people, it just happens on forums...

    unable to negotiate ssh to old Linux

    Also: look for KexAlgorithms in ssh_config. If you find something that works, make it permanent in ~/.ssh/config

    devfs_ruleset is broken

    You do not do it by posting the word 'bump'. You do it by adding additional information, additional log files, or an additional description of what you tried in the meantime.

    The forums and the adblocker - a love story

    It's all externally loaded content from posts and links, like Gravatars, externally loaded images, etc. The forums have no ads or trackers.

    Forum RSS feed

    On their forums, XF has shown no interest in handling this yet; there are some requests for it there. We're not going to locally patch XF and maintain that patch against upgrades, if that's what you mean.

    There appear to be no options for that.

    How do I mark a thread "[Solved ]"?

    I have tweaked it a little. Verified members ( >= 10 days && >= 10 posts) can edit their own posts/threads indefinitely. Registered members ( < 10 days || < 10 posts) can do so for 24 hours; until they clear the hurdle, at least. I have had to disable deletion of own posts for now (deletion of...
