Linking custom domain is now fixed too, so if you experienced any errors when linking your domain, they should be gone now

After some complications, the day has finally come - all forums are going to be updated to Flarum beta.16, going by the secret name of Release Candidate 1 (but don't tell anyone that we told you)

No intervention is needed from your side - all forums will be upgraded automatically. Note that forums might be unavaliable during the upgrade period.

As usual, we will try to be as quick as possible and the synchronization process will be done automatically.

    v123582 wait for your forum to be synchronized. The way the update works is that we just update our master forum and then the files are linked to other forums. Your forum is confused, because it still has the old files whether our skeleton forum ("template forum") has new ones - this produces the error. Unfortunately, we can't do anything to speed up the process (other than buy faster NASA equipment to boost our disk speed 🙂).

    Simply put, you must wait until your forum gets synced. Newest forums are synced first and entire sync process takes at about 5 hours, depending on amount of forums. We have cleaned above 2k inactive forums yesterday (forums with no content, so they won't be missing - BTW if your forum was removed and you want it back, please contact us) because our disk was full, so it should be a lot faster now.

    All forums are being synced now - after that is done, beta.16 update will be completed!

    Extensions added, based on GitHub requests (perhaps way too much, so if any issues will arise, some of them might be removed, which we'll announce here too):

    I've briefly checked them and they are working so far. The rest of the extension requests that didn't make it into this update are extensions that need to be upgraded to beta.16. They'll be added later, when they become compatible.

    That's all for now, let's wait until forums get synced, remove header upgrade notice and look if everything works.
    As always, please immediately report any issues that you find. Thank you

      The upgrade is done and all forums should be synchronized now!
      If you still experience issues, please let us know by mailing us (private forums) or replying to this thread. Thank you for using FreeFlarum

        my freeflarum forum still shows

        Network connection error.

This app requires a network connection; it cannot be used offline. Please check your connection.

        and can't use 🙁

            Not sure if PWA is installed, that might cause it as I've seen that error with that extension more often.

              luceos yes, it seems like a PWA issue, but I don't know what's causing it. In order to help, I must know more - is the page accessed through browser or PWA? What is the forum name? Is custom domain being used?

              It has happened for me once, when I was testing on my domain (which had broken DNS at the time), so I imagine that it might be the cause

                  SKevo All that error means is that the server is not responding, and so it displays an "offline" page. There should be more information in logs.

                    I’ve not been using my forum for quite a while. And when I checked my forum today, it is shown as ‘404 not found’. Is it because it’s one of the stale forums (sorry about that!!) that was cleaned up?
                    If it is so, how could I get it back? Sorry for any inconvenience 🙁

                    My forum address: xinbang.flarum.cloud

                      Dreeam-qwq that works for me. Try clearing your browser cache or use Incognito/Private Browsing mode to access it

                          Sorry to trouble again, I’ve enable PWA in my forum. Now it’s showing ‘Flarum encountered a boot error. Details have been logged to the Flarum log file.‘ ... I can’t access the site at all, hence unable to go back to my admin account to undo it.

                            I never saw this error, but clearing the cache seems to help. Is it accessible again now?
