They're not much help over at the official Xenforo board, so I figured why not ask here. None of my forum nodes have pages. So I have a lot of threads that users will not be able to access. As I'm sure you're all aware, you can scroll down to the bottom of any node (or sub-forum) and see pages. It usually looks like "2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ... Last page" This way users can check an older page and see all the threads there. My forum isn't displaying that. Does anyone here know how to turn it on? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Does anyone know if there is an addon which will change the thread order? I need to be able to move threads around, so that it doesn't appear that one member spammed 4 or 5 threads in a row, in the same sub-forum. So if anyone knows how to move threads up and down in the list, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

Just as a recommendation, maybe some guidelines could be created for people who are going to create threads. The one I'm thinking of would be, Don't spam threads in one sub-forum, as most forums would not allow this behavior. Since forums won't allow you do to this, it looks like created content. For me the latest instance of this was in the Food of Cleburne sub-forum. It has to look as real as possible, and spam will have the opposite effect. It will drive people away if they think the forum is a fake, so doing this is counter productive. I had no choice but to delete two of the threads because my forum is intended to be a for profit business and when I begin advertising, I can not have new members thinking the forum is staged or is otherwise a fake. It wouldn't be a problem if it were just one person using different user names. But the same easily recognizable (no avatar) username posting 5 threads in a row (talking about food) is not normal user behavior and looks suspicious. Thank you

Hopefully one day this can replace the old Postloop, if anyone remembers that.

I found you from a search I did on the official Xenforo forums. I went looking for content creation, and in a thread I saw Cedric had made a post about this place and how yall provide content for a fee. I also started a thread asking about it and Cedric replied IIRC. Anyway it all came from the Xenforo Forums.

Well I would only want to see Xenforo sites. But maybe there's a list of these thread somewhere. I'll do a search. I would like to look through hundreds of the best Xenforo designs. Where a lot of time, or artistic expression was put into modifying the theme and the way it looked.

It's been a good while since any new threads and posts have been made (aside from me) and I was hoping you might know what is going on with that. I really need to get the forum filled in with content. Also, when this round was complete, I intend to purchase another one. Below you can see what is left, shown in post #3:

Is there somewhere we can see the best forum designs of all time? Maybe a top 10 list somewhere.

I accidentally used Isaac to create threads and posts. For some reason I thought that I had created that username. So the password for Isaac is thebindingof. Like that video game. I guess whoever was meant to start using it can simply do so, or the password can be changed. Sorry about the mistake!

Yes I think the content is already working. All they need to see is that other people are there, and they'll decide its worthwhile to visit from time to time, and to post if they feel the need to. Imo the naysayers on the Xenforo forums are mistaken. They're reading too much into it, you just need to ditch the ghost town look. After that, then begin your marketing campaign.

Thanks I'll check the earlier pages of this thread. I thought I saw a different thread was created for that purpose, but I guess not.

Is that in the admin panel? It doesn't seem to be there under the "Users" tab in the admin panel.

I have a question about the users that have been created: Is there an easy way to tell which users have been created you guys? I'm thinking that a few of the users I've gotten in the past month might be real users. One of them has a @cleburne.net email address. If I'm not mistaken, that's a local government email address. So that could be a real user. I also noticed that there's several users who are using gmail as their email address. I would have thought those were just you guys, but they never posted anything. So I began to suspect that maybe they're real users and they're just your standard lurkers. Any idea how I can tell who's who? There's only about 50 registered users on the user list.

I'm just getting into the groove since I'm new at administrating, so I only make 1 or 2 per day right now. Hopefully I can bump it up to 4 or 5 depending on how many threads my final user base is making.

The holidays are winding down, I hope that yall can get the rest done soon. I would like to be ready to advertise by Jan 10th.
