SKevo Thanks for the details, I understand much better now!

It doesn't seem to work after a little hour, though.

On my host side:

On freeflarum settings, once I've done the reset (which worked), when I try to enter my domain:

It maybe need more time, I will see if it works better tonight.

      TB54 indeed, it seems that the CNAME hasn't yet been updated:

      It seems that the TTL (time to live) is set to 1 hour, which means that the record should be updated 1 hour after it was queried by FreeFlarum, so you may attempt to re-link it then (perhaps I could add this information to the browser popup?) But I can confirm that the record seems to be set up correctly in your DNS settings.

          SKevo Ok, thanks a lot for taking the time to look at this in detail! I keep you updated if it doesn't work tonight.

            Helllo @SKevo ! It still doesn't work this morning, does it says something on your side about the remaining time?

              TB54 I just queried it, and it has around 150 seconds left, not sure what went wrong in the DNS

              FYI I've forcefully linked your custom domain, regardless whether the CNAME is present or not. When the DNS changes propagate, your forum should hopefully work

                TB54 I've now queried it as it reaches 0, and the timer just resets back. Are you sure that the DNS change went through at your domain registrar? It should CNAME to cname.freeflarum.com, but seems to CNAME to cinstudtest.freeflarum.com instead.

                Try deleting the record and creating it again instead of updating it

                    Thanks, that finally did the trick! Seems the problem was on my host side all along... Thank you very much for the help, all works fine now.

                      SKevo thank you: with the custom domain reset it's ok, but now I'cant log in into 'caused by recaptcha:

                          ghiboz it seems that the reCAPTCHA key you have provided in the reCAPTCHA extension settings at your Flarum administration page is incorrect. If you tell me/mail me at info@freeflarum.com your forum URL, I can turn off the extension for you, so that you are able to log in and update the extension's settings

                              FreeFlarum is a free flarum hosting service, but sites that don't donate 7€ (about 55 yuan, 170 VND) will be marked with the "Powered by FreeFlarum" logo. After activating the Asirem theme, it's very stuffy (a small white piece at the bottom).

                              I can't comment I cheated and wrote js code (DFFF-js) to hide the "Powered by FreeFlarum" logo from the page. Anyway, this is just an experiment, it's too...

                              I don't know if there are any side effects, haven't tested the measuring technique. Only
                              need to insert it in background->Appearance->Custom Footer,

                              (Modded by @luceos, here used to be an offsite link to javascript that wasn't screened that can cause your FreeFlarum forum to be terminated)

                                Litalino as much as I appreciate your efforts in creating an obfuscated and benign looking JavaScript, as the current FreeFlarum maintainer and server administrator, I must remind you that according to FreeFlarum's ToS, it is forbidden to hide the FreeFlarum footer without donating. The least you can do to show some appreciation for having a free Flarum hosting is to let us spread the word, as it's what keeps the service alive. Thank you.

                                  ghiboz it seems that the e-mail has not arrived yet, have you received any response related to e-mail deliverability by any chance, please? I am curious whether this is another case of FreeFlarum's mail server not being able to receive e-mails. FYI meanwhile you can also e-mail me directly at kevin(at)svit.ac

                                      SKevo 邮件格式是：xxx@freeflarum.com，要不不行。
                                      Email format is: xxx@freeflarum.com, else can't working.

                                          Googol I'm sorry, but I am not sure I understand what do you mean. info@freeflarum.com already has the xxx@freeflarum.com format you seem to mention. Instead, do you perhaps mean that outgoing forum e-mail can't be sent from an address other than one under the freeflarum.con domain? If yes, then that's intended.

                                            @SKevo service down?
                                            the page loads extremely slowly. actually not at all

                                              Hi,

                                              I need my flarum I just created to be activated but it looks like FreeFlarum is currently unable to send emails to Gmail addresses ( ...@gmail.com) and I don't ever receive any sign up confirmation or password recover email either.

                                              My new Flarum has been created but it's impossible to log in as administrator and besides the domain URL is registered that is completely unuseful.

                                              Please send me the confirmation email to my address suns.dinno(at)gmail.com about my related FreeFlarum instance account.

                                              Please let me know
