Free Flarum hosting on an expert platform by FreeFlarum.com

GhostSlayer

FreeFlarum is not fast enough. Its good as it works but it has lot of downtimes and pings are usually 1000ms and their website says You won't find better performance. Powered by the fastest machines on the net. which is not true unfortunately

Up2Vex

GhostSlayer Its free what did you expect lol

Sanguine

GhostSlayer I don’t think FreeFlarum has lots of downtime. For the past 2 years, it had an uptime of 99.9% which is better than most commercial hosting services. This week’s unfortunate issue was, luckily, an anomaly.

Regarding ping times: FreeFlarum is hosted in Europe. Indeed, it can have higher latency for people in Asia and Australia. Where are you based?

Sanguine So what the issue caused by the money extensions? If not could it be readded?

Sanguine

Up2Vex I don’t think it was caused by the Money extension. However, I am not very eager to try it again right now. Should the service crash, it will cost me half a day to recover, and unfortunately I don’t have that flexibility in my schedule right now. However, I’d like to try it again when the dust has settled and we will have arrived in less hectic times.

Sanguine Im from Finland so it should be fast? Maybe uptimerobot monitoring server is enough far away to show high latencies

@Sanguine I have a certificate problem; can't access to my website could you help me ?

www.batteries-forum.com

before it was working without problem; no change since yesterday

Sanguine

julienlg It seems to be working.. did you change anything with the DNS in the last week or so?

julienlg Nice Forum, Https work fine for me

Sanguine

julienlg PS. Cloudflare is incompatible with FreeFlarum, as SSL certificates cannot get renewed. Your forum will stop working eventually...

julienlg

Sanguine

Unable to verify that this server is www.batteries-forum.com, because its security certificate expired 33 days ago. This could be due to a misconfiguration or to the interception of your connection by a hacker. Your computer clock is currently showing Saturday April 11, 2020. Do you think this is correct? If not, you need to correct your system clock and then refresh the page.

Seems that the certificate is expired.

Sanguine

julienlg Well, that is exactly my point.

julienlg

Sanguine I have totally deactivated Cloudflare now. It's just used for NS but no more. Can you try to renew the certificate please ?

Sanguine

julienlg

It works now thanks ! @Sanguine

Will it be possible to get access to a profainity filter ? It will help a lot in long run.

meetdilip

I am afraid to advertise my forum due to the lack of such a filter. +Sanguine was kind enough to add " Mark as Spammer " option. But I guess filter would also be necessary if we are going to have a clean forum.

Sanguine

meetdilip If there is such extension, can you request / upvote it at https://github.com/gwillem/freeflarum.com/issues ?

Otherwise, start a discussion elsewhere on this forum?

meetdilip

As per Sanguine @Up2Vex , upvote

I started an extension request here

https://github.com/gwillem/freeflarum.com/issues/84

It need at least 5 votes to go through. If you feel that a word filter / swear filter / profanity filter is an essential addon, please do vote for the same.

Sanguine

FYI I've posted a question on Stackexchange to sollicit advice concerning the previous FreeFlarum database crashes. If you happen to be a database wiz, feel free to chime in 😉
