    Or, another feature vBulletine has that XenForo doesn't.

    Back in vBulletine, you could click on a thread's number of replies number on the forum's page and get a list of who posted in the thread how many times. We need this feature.

    For example, if User A posts in User B's Blue Room thread which is a billion pages long, then posts BR info in the RR, mods can click on this feature to determine whether or not User A had indeed posted in there and thus was aware of the info instead of stumbling on it say on Facebook.

    Never knew about that feature. Can you not find this info through search? Regarding the particulars of your example, he has posted in the BR thread, but even if he had not, that wouldn't mean that he didn't read it.

    Of course, posting information from Facebook that hasn't been discussed in the Red Room is ALSO prime jackassery...

    Agreed, but not warnable. However, what are the odds that User A will necessarily be on User B's friendlist? Yet, that's not really the point of this discussion.

    I've done some digging, and I can't seem to find a mod that adds that capability to the software. Quite honestly, I'd never heard of that feature before.

    Since when?

    It was always warnable before...anything that wasn't specifically posted here by the person in question is off-limits. I know because it was implemented over fear of the dastardly Tamar and her scary ability to read public information. :lol:

    Is there new standards? If so, what are they?
