lakshya
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.

      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.

              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?

                            lakshya

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

                            Any amount donated removes the footer, 7€ is recommended. If you want a different amount, please donate to our E-mail: info@freeflarum.com

                                SKevo Since i am just starting and does not have a great budget, By saying custom i want to ask whether can i donate less than 7€ ?

                                    lakshya yes, you can donate below 7€. The main reason why 7€ is because if you donate a low amount of money, PayPal will take nearly all of it due to its fees... But any amount helps and is therefore appreciated

                                        SKevo I can donate upto 3€. Is that applicable? I know that will be so awkward but ...........

                                            lakshya any donation is very appreciated and helps, really... It shows us that people care about the project and every little makes us happy, if given in return for the service we provide... It's okay, you can donate more later if you'd like. We also plan to setup some more bonus points for forums that donate soon (see my post here)

                                                SKevo Yes, For your awesome work, i will seriously try to donate a much more amount later.
                                                I want to ask what are the payment methods, since I live in India and euro is not a familiar currency to me.

                                                    lakshya PayPal is the current main donation option. There's also possibility to donate with cryptocurrency, which you'll have to discuss with me privately (so I'll know that it's you who donated, etc...) - either on Discord or by mail (info@freeflarum.com). There are no other donation options available currently.

                                                        SKevo Hi there i want to ask that how can i change the default to one from fonts.google.com

                                                            lakshya I assume that you mean changing the default font. In that case, you can just paste the font code in the header, with CSS selectors you want. I am not on PC right now so I am not able to provide you an example, but Google's official fonts site allows you to build the code and copy & paste it in the "Custom Header" code in the "Appearance" admin section.

                                                                SKevo I tried that <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com">
                                                                <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">                                                                 i added this code in custom header, but it didn't work

                                                                  You need to add custom CSS too.

                                                                  fontfamily: ......

                                                                  See below

                                                                  To embed a font, copy the code into the <head> of your HTML

                                                                  
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">

                                                                  CSS rules to specify families

                                                                  font-family: 'Poppins', sans-serif;

                                                                  which is attached to body , most of the time

                                                                    meetdilip Can u tell me that exact css code for poppins font, since i am gettin the below error when i pasted the code:
                                                                    font-family: 'Poppins', sans-serif;

                                                                        lakshya

                                                                        You can't just paste css properties, they need to be in a block.

                                                                        Try:

                                                                        body {
    font-family: 'Poppins', sans-serif;
