IPv6 - Here it is 11 years later

[Tracy]

And there are still ISP's here in the United States that are not supporting it. There are even parts of the backbone that still don't handle it well a decade later.
But, the "real" question is... does your site support IPv6?

Realize that many ISP's have limited IPv4 ability, and many are now only using IPv6 for their customers.
Yes, there are ways to work around that ,especially when using CloudFlare, but why not support it natively if your hosting provider issues you an IPv6 range?

According to my XF dashboard, yes, my site does support ipv6.

If you are using the SaaS offering from XF... it should.
I've helped quite a few admins out recently that are on VPS's that have IPv6 for their offering... but hey aren't utilizing it.
I just don't understand why one would not utilize as many "benefits" as possible.

Nah, I'm on a VPS (temporarily on DO till our finalized LLC is read over by the new host), which will be providing a couple years credits for us.

What add-on are you using to give that data... my XF ACP doesn't show any IPv4/6 protocols that are being used on for it's installation.

I hit the PHP Version number (ACP main page under "server environment report") and it loads up a PHPinfo

That simply means that PHP is compiled with IPv6 support... not that it is active on your setup.
To confirm, you can use somewhere like this

IPv6 Website Compatibility Test - IPLocation.io

Check either a website or webserver is IPv6 accessible or not. Find IPv6 compatibility and configuration of a website or webserver.

iplocation.io

Frequently if you are using CloudFlare, you site will be IPv6 reachable (with IPv4 conversion at their layer) if you have IPv6 enabled in CF.
