The New Year is coming soon, so I'd like to thank you everyone for staying with FreeFlarum throughout this difficult year! Let's hope that 2021 is gonna be a better one. Stay safe everyone!
As for some kind of a "New Year" present from us, we've spent quite some time implementing some new features to FreeFlarum, mainly one that has been requested a lot: rename your forum!
From now on, you will see a new section called "Rename Your Forum" in your account settings at FreeFlarum. It was tough to make it work, but it's here.
WARNING:
Since this feature is very new and was hard to implement, it is also very experimental. We've tested it to make sure that it works, but obviously we can't replicate every unique setup each of your forums have. Please, only use this feature when you know what you're doing! This warning is especially for people that use custom domains (it is NOT recommended to rename your forum when you already have a custom domain set up - things may break).
Read the note and the warning at the settings page for more information.
As for forums without a custom domain, it should work without any errors (standard FreeFlarum setup). But if any errors appear (or your forum stops working), please let us know.
But that's not everything! Our status page has got a new and fresh look, with more information on each error that might appear (and what should you do). We're also immediately noticed about any of those errors, so you don't have to report them to us.
Another feature I'd like to give a word about is that you can now reset your site settings! This won't completely erase your forum and database, but it will reset your mail settings, your custom CSS, header and footer and it'll also disable all extensions. This is useful if your forum broke because of some extension and you can't access your admin panel, so you can fix it yourself now! But be sure to still report that issue to us so that we can fix it, please. You can find this feature in your settings page at FreeFlarum, just like with the rename function.

That's all for now! Have fun everyone, and...
