IDK what's happening in my browser tho 🙁

    ManuTheCoder yes, most likely cache happens. Please, verify your browser setup or clear cache as that is an issue on your side

    Yes, I will check it.
    Is it because of DNS propagation by any chance?

      ManuTheCoder if it works everywhere else except for your browser, then I'd look at the browser first. This won't be DNS, just your browser

        Hi,
        I am new to Free Flarum.
        And, have started exploring the platform. Downloading flarum and using the raw software is much difficult for me and hence i am blessed to have FreeFlarum.

        I have lots of questions and reports:
        Will be posting them here and i hope for a good resonse.

        My first Report:
        There is a problem, when i am creating means posting discussion or replying to anything(as a trial) everything has gone blank. Nothing is being shown but when i click on edit button i get to see the whole content of my post. What is this?

          lakshya what is your FreeFlarum forum name? Does any error message appear? Might be some small bug, perhaps with cache or an extension.

            lakshya Your custom CSS is set to p { display: none !important; }, please remove that code from your admin panel under "Appearance" > "Custom CSS", because it hides the paragraph in the post body.

              lakshya No problem, feel free to remove the test account that I have created

                SKevo Hey, I have a few more questions?

                1. is there any option of direct messaging of users?
                2. Is there any limit of number of members?
                3. Can i remove the footer credit for free?
                4. Can i add custom/more extensions?
                5. Is there any method to send push notifications automatically according to the activities in the forum?

                  is there any option of direct messaging of users?

                  FoF Byobu extension.

                  Is there any limit of number of members?

                  250 is the soft limit, but we serve forums with more than that limit and they operate just normally.

                  Can i remove the footer credit for free?

                  No. We run the service for the free, leaving a credit is appreciated as in return of the service we provide for you. Donating will remove it.

                  Can i add custom/more extensions?

                  No, you must request them and they must be accepted at https://github.com/gwillem/freeflarum.com/issues

                  Is there any method to send push notifications automatically according to the activities in the forum?

                  Not at the moment, no.

                    SKevo
                    I didn't get what do u mean by soft limit? I just want that users may be able to signup/login normally and do activities even after 250.

                      lakshya a soft limit means they will not actively block further sign ups. You can and are allowed to have more than 250 users. What this means is that if your community is so active that it requires too much from the server (where all FreeFlarum communities are running on), they have a way to ask you to migrate away.

                        lakshya

                        By "soft" I mean that the limit is not explicitly 250 users and you might be able to exceed that limit, but it is not officially supported by us, as stated in our ToS (yet we won't block it). FreeFlarum is a free service and if you want to have a busy forum, it might be best for you to just self-host it. FreeFlarum's mission is to support starting communities and therefore our intentions are not to support high-traffic forums at the moment.

                        Yes, also that. If your forum will eg.: have a high traffic, also slowing down other forums, we will kindly let you know about this and ask you to migrate away. With the intention to support starting communities, we also offer you an option to download all of your data in the database + avatars at your forum and move on.

                        luceos Okay. I think if that is the case then i may not face any problem.
                        I want to ask is there any way to remove the footer credit?

                          lakshya please see this page, or click on the "Remove this footer" button in the footer.

                          Any donation is manually processed by us and removes the footer.

                            SKevo but is there a fixed amount for the donation?
