SKevo Can the number of registered accounts exceed 250? My forum usually has about 20 to 30 active people, but the number of accounts has reached 200.

I just want to make sure where is its limit to take actions to remove redundant accounts

    AowVN 250 is the soft limit, but it can exceed this number, as there are no checks from FreeFlarum's side to remove accounts. If it becomes a problem for other forums (e. g.: your forum is too resource intensive), we will ask you to take an action or move your forum elsewhere.

    Your user count seems fine, FYI we have forums with even 1,000 accounts and they're fine. That's because inactive accounts aren't a problem, as they're just a data in the database.

    We didn't do any stress testing to explore the true limit, as we have no tools to do so. I plan to update this info in the documentation to make it visible to everyone, since this is number 1 asked question and it's only stated in our Terms & Conditions

      Another important bug that slipped under our noses was just fixed: custom domain linking now works and doesn't turn your forum into a 404 page.

      I encourage all users to re-link their custom domains, if they did so after the upgrade. If you still see any errors, please immediately contact us


      the menu bar at the top of freelarum was automatically hidden so I couldn't get into the settings , is this a bugs ?

        AowVN it is supposed to be replaced with a hamburger menu icon when your device's width is less than certain pixels, and the other buttons are automatically hidden. This shouldn't happen, I tested it on Chrome's devtools.

        I'll look into it later, for now you can access the settings directly at https://freeflarum.com/settings

        AowVN I couldn't reproduce the issue. Do you know your screen's width in pixels by any chance? 768 pixels is the border value - anything less than that hides the buttons and replaces them with a hamburger menu instead

          SKevo my screen is 1366x768 . it's automatically hidden and doesn't show an alternate button, I tried resizing it to 100% (or smaller) but it's still the same

            AowVN it is shown for a brief second, which could mean that there is a browser extension that is hiding it for some reason. Could you try in incognito mode (or without extensions enabled)? Also, anything in the JavaScript console, if you're familiar with it?

              SKevo yea , it seems to have a problem with some browser add-on (even though I whitelisted it all with freelarum) I still don't really know what's hiding it , I never had this problem when using freelarum before , but using incognito mode is the best way now

              Thanks for replying to me

                AowVN no problem. I think that the best would be to test every addon individually, one by one and see which one is hiding the menu

                  SKevo i just try to turn-on vietnamese add-on inside Freelarum 😅 and it become like this

                  Is there any way to disable this add-on without having to reset the forum settings? I have customized some css and html and haven't backed them up yet

                    SKevo i read datlechin 's post and saw it updated , so i kept trying it again ( turn on this extension ) and ... it kept coming

                    Can you help me turn off this add-on again? 😅 seems have to wait until this ext integrated with weblate
                    Sorry for bothering you

                      AowVN waiting for your forum to be synced is enough (it's not an issue in the extension). I have synced your forum with our base forum, so it works again now - even with Vietnamese language installed

                        Just fixed another couple of bugs:

                        • Settings page contained dead link to documentation about domain linking. Thanks for reporting it by E-mail, someone!
                        • Added notice about how often ranks and points are recalculated at forum directory and settings. To clarify - every 1 hour automatically. Additionally, points can be recalculated by bumping your forum.
                        • Instead of downloading the log file to your computer, you can now view it directly from your browser at https://freeflarum.com/settings/logs
                        • Forum registration form now warns you when your forum name is not alphanumerical
                        • Other small bugfixes

                        In addition to that, all extensions have been updated to the latest version

                        C:\Users\user>curl sl132.flarum.cloud # I can't visit my forum
                        curl: (7) Failed to connect to sl132.flarum.cloud port 80: Timed out
                        curl: (3) <url> malformed

                          sysdl132 I can access it alright from my browser. Try curl https://sl132.flarum.cloud, the error <url> malformed might mean that it expects the protocol too?

                          On Linux, doing curl sl132.flarum.cloud results in 301. But adding the protocol https:// before outputs the expected result. Also note that https port is 443, and your cURL is accessing it via port 80.
