A good clean up is therapeutic. Looking forward to being confused by new format! Not really but ya know.
 
FYI: 8pm-9pm is reserved for "see you on the other side" memes/gifs/images/et.

Attachments are locked but should not be gone. Can you point us to an example?

Post 3355 from GAJ from the other day used to have an Omega. I remember I seen it. Now it doesn't

Luckily it's not my browser cuz I'm dealing on the phone to post it RN while before I was on a computer.

Also two posts above/below it actually 3357. Both of those

And I cannot see the ,"new watch" (<,<,(tank) either. Or was it a Santos ???

Which would take care of the time period restrictions

I've checked the network it seems the nfinx simply returned an empty response

Two'ish questions...

1. Will there be any ban and spam improvements? What are the methods available for banning users and spammers in vbulletin vs xenforo?

2. What time does barf go down and is it a pre-programmed migration where you set a start time and kick back watching the spinning wheel, or is it all super manual?

When people register, if their email appears on a known spammer list it says as much on their registration request.

I used Xenforo when I moderated on ADV and it definitely has more tools for handling folks who need to cool their jets. There is also more room to leave notes about the person's history. You can "discourage" users who are absolute d-bags so that the pages become slow and clunky to load.

You can do warnings and I liked that I could be transparent when I took action to warn or suspend a user.

I know you didn't ask me but since I have experience with both platforms I thought I would chime in, :teeth
