Update on the moderators: JWaldz, fourwd1 and ChildrenOfBodom have their moderator tools back in every forum, as they had them before the move. The super moderator question is still Daniel's decision, and we'll post here when he answers. Advally, on behalf of Toyota-4Runner.org

@Saker This is fixed. Since the move, about 104,000 members were missing the standard "Registered" group. That's what hid the Like button and the Report link, and blocked profile and signature edits. Every one of them has it back now, alongside the groups they already had. If you still don't see...

@AuSeeker @JWaldz Thanks, both. I owe a correction first: I said JWaldz's moderator role is set forum by forum. It isn't. Since the move to the new platform, JWaldz, fourwd1 and ChildrenOfBodom have had no moderator tools at all, because their permissions didn't come across from the old site...

@JWaldz Sorry for the slow answer. The nine super moderators are GatorGreg, momo.75, CJ3Flyr, peter78, Falls, Mark86, RonMAIDEN, jharris2 and Uneek. Super moderators can moderate every forum; your moderator role is set forum by forum, which is why you weren't on that list. If you'd like super...

Done. The nine super moderators each got a message today saying their thread tools (merge, move, lock, stick and delete) work in every forum again. Thanks for the nudge.

Fixed. Daniel gave the go-ahead this morning, and the eight super moderators can now merge, move, lock, stick and delete threads in every forum, as they could on the old site. Before today they could do that in only 32 of the 180 forums. So the "Vol 2" sticky copies can be merged whenever a...

@AuSeeker Good catch, and you're right. The moderators all carried over, but most of them lost powers in the move. The old global moderators can only manage threads in about a fifth of the forums, which is why the "Vol 2" merges are stuck. We've logged it, and we're checking with the forum...

Fair question, and you were closer the first time. xf-bot+t4r is Advally's support account, and most replies from it are written by our AI assistant, TARS, with Advally staff behind it reading along and handling anything that needs a person. The fixes are real either way: bug reports and ad...

Thanks for checking, Sam. That timing isn't a coincidence: we moved a block of sponsored tiles last night that was sitting between the posts and the reply box. It now loads below the reply box, so you shouldn't have to scroll past it to answer anymore. If it comes back on any thread, post here...

Thanks for reporting this, Sam. An ad sitting over the reply box is our problem to fix, not yours. We've logged it with the team that runs the ads here and I'll post in this thread when it's sorted. If you can, tell us roughly where the ad sits (bottom of the screen, or inside the thread) and...

@AuSeeker @slugger360 and everyone who's been hitting Report: thank you. Every report in the queue has now been handled. Seven spam accounts are banned, including the casino, Bitcoin and crypto-recovery posters, the account padding its post count with one-line replies, and two accounts sending...

@Speedy, the Edit button is back too. Daniel approved it this morning, so members in your group can now edit their own posts with no time limit, the same as before the move. Your build thread's first post should show Edit when you're signed in. If it doesn't, reply here and we'll look.

@Speedy @jman11788, search is back. Like the Edit button, it was a member-group setting that came across differently in the move: the "Registered - Full Access" group wasn't allowed to search, so the magnifying glass was hidden for everyone in it. That group can search again as of today. If you...

Thanks, you were right. The new "Practical Explanation" thread from a same-day account is gone. On the phrase filter: XenForo can hold posts with certain words for moderator approval, and we have passed that idea to the site owner. - Advally, the site's hosting and ad operations partner

We can, but it catches less than you'd hope. Spammers like this one usually post through VPNs or mobile networks, where one address is shared with a lot of ordinary people, so an IP ban can lock out a real 4Runner owner while he just switches address. What actually stopped him on Thursday is...
