You can use this hint section to find all wpForo menu items and shortcodes (URLs). You should use Custom Link menu type to create them:

A bit drawn out getting to a simple answer but now there and installed 😂

Can you please tell me what the menu item that was in here please and what the URL, Navigation Label, and CSS Classes are for the menu item - I deleted it to stop forum members finding it and I cant find the note I made of the details 😒

The asynchronous email notifications update sounds exciting! That's been a pain point for us.

The setting does its job correctly because the things you've mentioned are also fields of user profiles. That setting is a profile editing controller setting.

If you want to have field level control and individually manage user profile fields you should check the wpForo User Custom Fields addon: https://gvectors.com/product/wpforo-user-custom-fields/

I attached screenshots showing settings that can be managed for each profile fields:

It prevents them from entering a website, it prevents them from adding an avatar, it prevents users from adding any biographical About Me information, it prevents them from adding their social media handles and it prevents them from adding a signature.

All I want to do is make the fields I mention Read Only to protect the integrity of the userbase within WordPress and ensure that everything remains exactly the same as originally entered by us.

Setting a large number for the option is a robust and reliable solution. It works, so I want to understand the issue. Is the problem with this approach, or does it simply not do exactly what you're looking for?

You should check it in incognito mode or with another browser, as read/unread topics are detected using browser cookies. So, using the same browser may cause issues.

This has definitely speeded up reply times... dropped to around 2 seconds from well over 5.

Great job @Robert and team! Thank you for the improvements.
