I am unable to check for anything on my "console" because I cannot even log into my forum, from any browser. I've tried several. I did not implement any JavaScript other that anything the addons/extensions might have added. I've only included addons/extensions that are in your normal list.

SKevo

gaines you do not need to log in, just open developer tools. Or, you can wait a few hours and I will fix it for you - sorry that I am unable to look into this more in-detail right now

It's okay! I'm not complaining at all :-) And I appreciate all your help! I'll see what I can figure out in developer tools. I assume I access that from https://freeflarum.com/ somehow? I couldn't find it. I'm not in a hurry though.

SKevo

gaines it seems like you're not experienced with that, so I recommend to wait. I should be available in 2 or 3 hours

For now: https://balsamiq.com/support/faqs/browserconsole/

Edit: I've also tried to tweak the mail settings for the past hour, or at least what I could. It just seems to me that Gmail refused the message (mail from FreeFlarum is forwarded to our Gmail inboxes). We can't really modify that behavior, sorry for the inconveniences

gaines

SKevo Okay, thank you!

SKevo

gaines fixed, for now. The issue was in the FoF Best Answer extension (I've reported it here, if you want to keep track of it or provide additional details that might help). I've disabled the extension for you, so the forum should be working again. Note that I've also enabled the Tags extension, since I suspected that it was because it wasn't enabled prior to that extension, and that Best Answer might depend on it.

Hi, can mod refresh my forum it says hard refresh is required : https://forums.os108.org/

Thanks in Advance.

SKevo

jaypatelani fixed, related to post above

Edit: I've now included 1.0.x version of FoF Best Answer, because 1.1.x is not stable yet. Updating all forums with just composer update automatically includes the latest versions, even if they might not be ready yet

hey guys, is there any way to replace the main page on FreeFlarum to a customizable homepage, like an extension or something? (not just a forum list page)

Because I wasn't even sure if this behavior or feature is even available on self-hosted flarum versions... 😅
many thanks in advance. 👏

You can use domain.com/tags

Admin > Basics > Homepage (3rd)

Here you can select your homepage from a list of available choices. Note that forging a custom API request allows you to put any route as a homepage, but that's perhaps too advanced

AA-Admiral Because I wasn't even sure if this behavior or feature is even available on self-hosted flarum versions... 😅

I see no reason why it shouldn't be available - it's a core feature. Remember that FreeFlarum uses Flarum, which is the forum software that we all love and use. We made no core changes (apart from extenders to display footer, etc.), and it is identical to the version that this forum is using (except for different extensions)

SKevo

For those wondering why FreeFlarum was down for a bit, it was related to a recent incident at our hosting - this is fixed and all forums should be accessible normally now. This was just a very small outage, but if your forum is inaccessible due to an error (e. g. server died in middle of a database transaction), please contact us

Hello guys, I got some problems with making poll with multiple choices, we are making a survey, to our client and we need him to make choice with our functional. But i can't find where i can make a poll with multiple choice, the only one stays in active state. We need checkboxes with saved results of poll.

SKevo

oontsa I don't know how to do that, sorry. I think that FoF Polls doesn't support multiple choices, but I might be wrong

Also, I've seen your question in another discussion. Because this isn't related to FreeFlarum, I'd suggest to keep this in your other discussion instead. Don't worry, someone who knows more will eventually reply with further information

by the way, my mail (with SMTP driver) does not work correct. I am looked at similar topics and make a setup like they did. But still no effect. I am using Yandex mail and opened up IMAP mail exchange. Do you know something about it?

SKevo

oontsa I don't know, I'd need to see your SMTP settings in order to learn more. I don't know your forum name, but it might also be worth looking at your logs for errors

AowVN

oontsa smtp is not related to imap at all , you can configure it like below

Server Address: smtp.yandex.com
Username: Your Yandex Mail address (e.g. whatever comes before @yandex.com)
Password: Your Yandex Mail password
Alternatice Port Number: 465 (With SSL/TLS)
Authentication: Required

Remember , sending Limits is 500 Emails a day

you can see full instructions to install smtp via yandex here ( scroll down to the 3rd ) : https://websitechuan.com/thu-vien/cam-nang-huong-dan/cau-hinh-may-chu-smtp.html

SKevo

We've updated all extensions across all forums. This resulted in some non-synchronized forums to respond with a 500 error. We apologize for the inconvenience. All forums are syncing now, which will resolve the issue in a few hours

Edit: Remember that it is also possible to synchronize your forum sooner at https://freeflarum.com/settings/forum_settings (by clicking on the Fixup the "Yourforum" forum button).

Hello everyone!
My forum address is discussion-forum.kuriousmachine.xyz
It currently has nothing at all but my main website kuriousmachine.xyz has many followers so I expect when I disclose my forum, many will start being an user.
Problem is, it's stated in your terms that a Forum here can host no more than 250 while @"SKevo" emailed me that one of them hosts 5K as well. My question is, as allowed in the terms and the pros being monetization and larger community, Can anybody please provide me a detailed step-by-step (preferably with pictures) of how to self-host a Flarum forum using any hosting provider?

Kind Regards,
