I am making this thread to help members use Xenforo. I’ll be posting some instructions here on how to handle basic forum tasks. This won’t be comprehensive – for a more complete guide, check out the official XenForo instructions. I’ll update/add to this guide as needed.
This will be a closed thread. If you have any questions please make a new thread or start a conversation with me or another moderator. If you see someone asking for help and their question is answered in this thread, please guide them here.

XenForo uses some terms that are slightly different from PHPBB. Here are some key ones to be aware of:
- Messages – In PHPBB these were called posts, in Xenforo they are now called messages.
- Alerts – You’ll see an Alerts menu at the top right of the page when you’re signed in (next to your profile information). Here you’ll see notifications on threads and forums you’re watching, or someone tagging you in a thread/chat, and you can also manage your alert preferences from here.
- Conversations – These are private conversations you have with other users and are located in your "Inbox".
