An engine will never migrate, just like another one; moving a mysql database can be done in the "best" case to the same engine.
(moreover, you need to know where all the sub-files are stored; if they are in the database, then that's good, but if not, everything goes to the trash)
tell the others that we are about to migrate everything now, let them pack their threads into notebooksAnd in general, there is no point in this; it is enough to update the forum version, for example, v3.5.0 is currently installed
And it's not a fact that the update will install, and it's not even better
in any way than the old version.
Even on the popular ancient phpbb, new versions are trash—not just because of bugs, but the fact is they've overcomplicated the layout in the admin panel.
the only "possible" theoretical blow could fall on the xenforo engine since it's from the same developers as vBulletin aka bullies.
xenforo is slightly more modern, but you pay for it annually / but in general, this forum of ours is good in its own way, why bother.
And besides, it's better if no one but the Creator enters the admin panel, although in reality, this engine has "so many" disabled features
it must be said that it is functional enough even without additional modules; a lot can be forbidden and allowed in general.
Remark on engines: phpbb is mainly used in any heroes project / whether it's a portal / a league / or DF Dangerous Fantasy,
if phpbb is used, you can't even roll back to a previous better version, it simply no longer exists!
By the way, they promote some IPB, but that's a commercial scam for which you have to pay monthly, lol.
Anyone who doesn't earn money from the forum having such an engine is paying a tribute, otherwise it's unlikely but still pirated
and pirated builds are riddled with vulnerabilities from portals so that viruses "surface" on them later.
I will name only two engines that make sense: xenforo and the free SMF Simple Machines Forumboth are good, one is free, the other is commercial, and there is no need to rack your brain further
regarding the forum installation
__________________________________________
Regarding tags: it seems you can even enable flash here, but that's dangerous, otherwise overall all html works
in different sections you can disable/allow various tags, as well as forbid one or another that spammers use or that Arandor toys with.
Essentially, you can act from the opposite end: see which tags are not allowed and which are forbidden, because they are generally all allowed
and the spoiler function is just a perk, and as you noticed, it slightly supports nesting if there is one "general" closing tag
like a multi-quote, one of the varieties of forbidden things.
spoiler content name
tags: descendants / siblings / children / and generalized, then CSS selectors are attached to them, tag anchors
staticity _______________ dynamic
I love statics! And forums work on dynamics as a stream of identical pages, while the content is already static!
do not confuse them; in general, I am for everything being different, all people are different, I don't like soldiers but I love heroes.
(a gallery of paintings is static while movies are dynamic)
Regarding attachments: if the Creator said that resources are lacking, then we must stop.
Either act statically, otherwise the limit will be filled and we'll have to do pre-moderation of attachments, meaning approving each attachment manually.
(where this will lead is only to delay the future explosion of dynamics and it will still have to be disabled)
And how much limit depends on the hosting; if the conditions for MB volume are limited, although not much, but we don't have 30 servers like on large platforms.
IMHO, I would remove attachments altogether and set up a separate domain to dump files there, like an image hosting.Also, you can make a local server, and a portable one at that, by simply installing the same forum on it.It will be enough to just Download a portable folder and run Apache with MySQL in it, and any user can browse the admin panel, an excursion,
to understand where you are in general, how it all works, and what's inside for the Creator.
By the way, the morale system there is much wider, many things are disabled.
And a remark regarding the local server: essentially there are two, Xampp and Endels, and Xampp is better, and various denvers no longer work today.
Also, if anyone needs software including OSs, we have a whole arsenal and even a fully anonymous browser, but unfortunately it also depends on the provider,
this is from the KDFX community of heroes players, I communicate and work closely with them; I'm very lucky with Dmitry Kalenyuk, he's a software hacker and more,
feel free to contact me for portables for free, I'll reliably get you out of any crash thanks to good people.
thank you for your attention, I think the answer is comprehensive.
