Free Flarum hosting on an expert platform by FreeFlarum.com

TB54

It works, thanks!

ImNotRen

Hey, how could I boot my forum page back up? I tried on FreeFlarum.com but it still doesn't let me connect. I appreciate it

SKevo

ImNotRen this has something to do with http://bloom.us/, since it's unreachable too and your domain has no longer the CNAME record required.

I've reset your forum host to the default one, so you should be able to access it now at https://sugunion.flarum.cloud (if you are still being redirected to the old one, try it in Incognito/Private browsing/with browser cache cleared)

ImNotRen

SKevo Even with the default domain it shows up as unreachable

It's really a tiny detail and nothing important, but there is a little bug in firefox's bookmark with freeflarum: the bookmark's favicon can become the one of freeflarum (below), and not the one of your forum (above).

Favicon in firefox are often buggy and difficult to refresh (the favicon was fine the first day), but it means firefox still can find it's way to the generic icon. If i go to www.myforum.fr/favicon.ico, I indeed end up on freeflarum favicon (and not on the one I choose for the forum).

SKevo

TB54 the way FreeFlarum shows its default icon is that all forums have a favicon.ico in their web root. When you upload a custom icon, Flarum won't overwrite this file, but instead it will use the <link rel="shortcut icon" [...]> HTML head element to show the custom uploaded one. This has higher priority over favicon.ico, and works fine in most browsers.

I believe the way Firefox works is that it does not attempt to load the favicon from <link>, but the one present in the page's root. Unfortunately, there is not a reliable way for FreeFlarum to check if a forum had uploaded a custom favicon or not to possibly overwrite the root (FreeFlarum default) one.

I did a bit of search: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1230644
Flarum does not use the type="image/x-icon". Maybe that's required by Firefox? However, someone must test that
It could also be something else, e. g.: your browser's cache, settings, etc.

TB54 TeamF I have removed the default favicon for all forums. This will likely not fix the issue, but you can give it a try. I assume that it will still occur, but now just with a blank image instead of FF's default.

That's pretty much all that we can do, as this is possibly an issue with these browsers, which is not something that we can fix easily.

Note: syncing all forums right now

TB54

SKevo I believe the way Firefox works is that it does not attempt to load the favicon from <link>, but the one present in the page's root.

Note that yesterday (when I created the bookmark), firefox displayed the right favicon in the bookmarks... It changed today, maybe when i restarted firefox (but not sure, I don't remember well). No idea what it means.

orschiro

Is this a known problem or shall I report as a new bug?

Issue when replying:

SKevo

orschiro this is either a cache problem or an issue with some extension. Try clearing your cache first, and if that doesn't help, then there will be an error either in your browser's console or server-side logs.

If you want, I can also create a temporary test account and look at the issue for you. But I am almost entirely sure that it has something to do with some extension

orschiro

SKevo thanks! I am able to reproduce the issue by using two separate accounts (one Admin, one normal account).

If you first post with one, then sign out and sign in with the other to post, the problem occurs.

So must be a cache issue I guess.

But is this maybe something that Flarum could fix?

Clearing cache every time I perform an account change is not so convenient.

orschiro ok so it looks like a 500 error. There should be something logged in the FreeFlarum logs page. You might also be able to see more details in the browser dev tools under network tab, though if debug mode is disabled, it probably won't say much. Since I don't think you can enable debug mode on FreeFlarum, the best place to check next is the page SKevo linked above:

SKevo or server-side logs.

SKevo

orschiro if it happens when switching account, then I assume that it is some kind of session or cookie issue. I don't know what causes this, but this is something that Flarum could fix, yes

orschiro

SKevo how do we proceed? Shall we set up a few more test accounts or directly open a bug report? If so, where is the best place?

orschiro

SKevo was able to consistently reproduce it.

Which is the best repo to report as a bug?

clarkwinkelmann SKevo sorry overlooked the comment about the logs.

This is the output whenever I try to post from my Admin account after I performed an account switch and reloaded the page:

clarkwinkelmann

Can you check the browser console (javascript and network) to check if it's a CSRF token related issue? (400 status code with csrf_token_mismatch in response body) Or if there's an actual javascript or 500 error happening?

CSRF issues (expiration) can happen when you keep your browser open for a very long time or reconnect with a different account in a different tab. If there's still an issue after a page refresh it's likely not this and there should be a javascript or PHP error message to work from.

SKevo

orschiro SKevo was able to consistently reproduce it.

When? I haven't tested it, I worked with information that you gave me, which isn't enough for Flarum to fix the issue. Before you proceed, we need to have an output of your console or logs, as me and clarkwinkelmann told you

orschiro

clarkwinkelmann here are the logs. Let me know if they are helpful, thanks!

orschiro your E-mail settings are invalid (wrong credentials)

orschiro

SKevo hmm but how come I can log in and even post after reloading the page? It just doesn't allow me to post on the first attempt.

If I don't switch accounts, then I can post properly as well.

It just happens once I switch accounts.

SKevo

orschiro I am not sure how Flarum handles outgoing E-mails under the hood, but the error messages that you have linked clearly point to an issue with your Gmail account's credentials. Please, verify that first. If they're correct and changing them doesn't fix the issue, we can move on to investigate it further.

orschiro I can log in and even post after reloading the page? It just doesn't allow me to post on the first attempt.

When you post Flarum immediately after storing the post to the database sends out the emails to subscribers. If this fails it will throw an error. The post is still saved but won't be shown due to the error. Refreshing the page will then correctly render the post.

orschiro If I don't switch accounts, then I can post properly as well.

It just happens once I switch accounts.

This probably relates to the fact that the email notifications are only sent when one account posts, because the other is subscribed. In case more users are ought to receive notifications on posting, the process fails again.

Also understand that the email verification and password reset emails won't be send in case mail errors occur. So definitely hunt those, there are discussions here on Discuss on how to use Gmail as the mail provider.
