orschiro there are some extensions that help you fight against spam:

  • Suspend - suspend users for a certain period of time
  • Approval - make posts require admin/moderator approval - good if you have active mods that take care of filtering your forum's content
  • FoF StopForumSpam - checks sign up data against StopForumSpam's database to check for reported spam
  • FoF Spamblock - mark user as spammer, suspending them & hiding their posts and discussions
  • FoF Disposable E-mails - prevents users from signing up with disposable emails
  • FoF Ban IPs - ban IP address of an user
  • Automoderator - for example, assign a "Trusted" group to active members that bypasses the need of their posts being approved

All of these extensions are available at FreeFlarum. You can also search for existing discussions about spam here.

      orschiro no idea, but I am sure that it's some sort of bug related to Flarum. I think it was reported somewhere, but I don't remember in what discussion, sorry

        orschiro I assume that it might be related to some extension. The [unknown] placeholder should be visible when a post (or the user, not sure which one) was deleted. Possibly some sort of "sub-issue" to flarum/mentions71?

            SKevo thanks! Added myself to the Github conversation!

              Hi just wondering when I make the settings for the forum private so people can't see the discussion until they sign up and login, is there a way of uploading a landing page welcome cover image rather than having a blank page?

                Lodgee

                (to my knowledge)
                Freeflarum Hosted Forums Already Come With A Pre-Installed Extension Called "Landing Page"

                It Does Not Show Discussions Or Posts, Instead You Can Customize The Page With HTML
                Which You Can Import Images From There

                    Deckerly Thank you, yes just found it 😃 is there any html code you recommend for loading images?

                        Lodgee is there any html code you recommend for loading images?

                        I Don't Really Have Any Recommendations Because I Personally Never Used A Loading Image,

                        If I Would I Would Have A Logo From A Company / Or Self

                          I've found some html code and loaded an image which I've centre aligned and looks great on desktop however its off to the side on mobile. Does anyone have a suggestion for html code to make the image responsive for mobile?

                            Anybody else having problems with writing a reply? I'm getting an error and then my post is visible but the reply is @ unknown and not the person I replied to.

                              Lodgee what code are you using? FYI this is not exactly related to FreeFlarum, but I am willing to try the code on my test forum and adjust it so that it works for you

                              Equinemarkt that's likely related to an extension, or it could be a Flarum bug. I think that I remember someone having a similar issue earlier, can't tell where that post is now. Could you please tell me your forum name so that I can check the logs for errors?

                                    Equinemarkt

                                    Failed to authenticate on SMTP server with username "XXX" using 2 possible authenticators. Authenticator LOGIN returned Expected response code 235 but got code "535", with message "535 5.7.0 Invalid login or password
". Authenticator PLAIN returned Expected response code 235 but got code "535", with message "535 5.7.0 Invalid login or password

                                    Your E-mail settings seem to be incorrect (wrong address or password), so you should have a look at that. The error happens because when you post a reply, it triggers an E-mail notification for users that follow the discussion. And if that fails, an error is shown (but the reply is still saved in the database anyways).

                                        SKevo Yes! I think it's fixed now! That explains why my newest member didn't received an activate email 🙈🤣 Thank you so much! 😁

                                          SKevo Nope I celebrated to soon, I'm having an issue with the encrypt setup.

                                          It's STARTTLS but it doesn't work 😓

                                              Equinemarkt there are many errors logged in your logs, and I am not sure whether or not they're related to the previous issue. Does it work with encryption other than STARTTLS?
