SKevo Should probably report this to FoF, it could possibly be a plugin issue

It could've also been just a small issue on FreeFlarum's side, as noone reported this issue before. Or it happens, but still noone reported it 🤷

    SKevo this must be the related migration: https://github.com/FriendsOfFlarum/best-answer/blob/master/migrations/2020_02_04_205300_add_best_answer_set_timestamp.php

    However I don't see how it could have been marked as migrated without the column existing. An error must have happened during the first time the extension was enabled. Without the log of that original error or a way to reproduce on a fresh install, it's impossible to tell what went wrong and whether it's extension or hosting related.

      clarkwinkelmann yes, exactly. I will look into it, but my best guess is that during the column creation, an error occurred and it wasn't created, as you said. I will check if other forums have this issue, and if not, then means that it was just a small bug we can't really fix.

      hey @SKevo. i dint know 250 user limit. What happens when over 250 users?

      There are 10-15 active people, but the total number of users has exceeded 600. Most people who became members became inactive. Will it create a situation that negatively affects Freeflarum?

        xdass I don't think so. It shouldn't negatively affect FreeFlarum. But if it will, an action will be taken. FYI FreeFlarum hosts a few other forums that have more than 250 users & posts, and those function just okay. Also, if your other users are not active, I believe that it is not a problem, since no traffic is generated.

        I have a weird glitch with private discussions. When I send them, it hangs there, I have a "Something went wrong" error but the message was actually sent. Is it just me?

          This seems like an issue in your mail settings. Byobu then can't send the mail notification when a new discussion is started with you. Please, double-check them and let me know if that helped. If not, I can reset them for you.

            SKevo Thanks, the conf was actually wrong, I had tls instead of ssl. Seems like it's solved now, dummy me!

            FreeFlarum beta.14 update status


            Hello folks! It's been some time since we've updated our beta.14 update to-do issue. Flarum beta.14/beta.14.1 was around for quite some time now, and it would be a pity if we wouldn't update. Actually, we are going to update very soon, we just needed to give extension developers some time to update their amazing extensions 🙂

            First of all, I want to thank the awesome Flarum team & all the developers that worked really hard during this update & extensions update. I am really happy to see such a strong and amazing community. Us updating wouldn't be possible without your help with fixing some bugs I've found during the testing, so thank you very much for that!

            Information you should know:

            And now for the update itself. Yesterday, I spend quite some time (R. I. P. Saturday) testing the beta.14 update.

            I've setup a testing forum independent to other FreeFlarum forums, but with setup equal to other forums (there were some small downtimes at our service sometimes, so I want to apologize for that). This was a very important step, because it allowed us to debug and squash some bugs before we update all forums for real. I've ran through every single extension we've got at FreeFlarum (plus, a few new ones you've been requesting for quite some time now ;D) and took a notes of what bugs occurred during the testing, what needs to be reported, changed or (sadly) removed.

            Speaking of removals, some extensions sadly won't make it to this update (yet):

            Those are a lot of incompatible extensions... But don't worry, some of them got replaced with updated versions. They will all come back when they become compatible. We promised to update when 2/3 of the extensions are compatible, so let's go!

            Also, don't be upset, we've got a few new ones in our disposal too:


            We're aware that we've removed quite a lot of extensions in this update. But we have to move forward. All of them will come back when compatible versions become available, so don't worry 🙂

            Other things you might need to know

            1. We will put a notice about the update in the header of every forum with link to this post. This should disappear as soon as your forum updates.
            2. There might be downtime during the upgrade. Do not panic, we will try to resolve that as quickly as we can.
            3. Your data won't be deleted. You can re-enable the extensions and continue discussing ;D

            We will try our best to ensure that everything goes smoothly. The update might take from 2 - 24 hours, depends on the forum amount to upgrade. For now, sit tight and do what you do best - you all deserve a break ;D

            If anything goes wrong, we will try to fix it as fast as we can. We've got backups, obviously, so don't worry 😃

            Update, as of 12:34

            So far, everything is going smoothly and we're currently letting our system to synchronize the files, this will take some time. There shouldn't be any downtime and your forum should be updated automatically. If a problem appears, just reply to this thread 👍

            After nearly 6 hours, every forum has been successfuly updated to beta.14.1. Remember that if you've got any issues, please report them accordingly.

            I never imagined it to go this smoothly, with almost no downtime. Good job to all of you for being patient, for developers updating their extensions and the Flarum team for providing such an amazing software!

            Enjoy new features everyone! 👏 👏 👏

            Congratulations @SKevo with the smooth result, 100% due to your careful preparations. And thanks on behalf of all FF users, who can now enjoy the greatest Flarum so far!

            In addition, two extensions have been added to support Google and LinkedIn OAuth, and the Money extension is now back too after a fast bug-fix from the developer!

              SKevo i cant login my forum for hours. When i login an error page appears "An error occurred while trying to load the page."

                xdass could you try logging in now to see if it works?

                  SKevo yes i can login now. Thank you for fast answer and fix.
