On Halloween, what do you hand out to the trick-or-treaters who come to your door? I usually make up a baggie filled with various things like mini chocolate bars, tootsie rolls, sour candies and whatever else comes on sale.

No new features this time, which is why this one is 2.0.10.1 and not 2.0.11. It is a round of fixes for things you reported in the support forum and the live chat, plus a few errors our monitoring caught before most of you ran into them.Widgets between categories, now with custom templatesWidgets placed between two categories did not show up on boards with a custom index template, because that template draws its own list of categories.

Our mission is to improve monetary literacy by helping people understand how money works, how monetary policy affects everyday life, and why sound money principles matter for long-term prosperity, savings, and economic freedom. We teach the hidden mechanics of our global economy not explained in traditional classrooms including: what is money, how money is made, what causes inflation, and how economic policies cause the widening disparity between rich and poor classes.

We believe:

People should understand the systems that shape their purchasing power and financial future.
Sound money encourages responsible stewardship, long-term thinking, and economic stability.
Open discussion and intellectual honesty are essential to healthy economic discourse.

Test your knowledge with our monetary quiz!

I am registered to multiple forums on the forum spark software and with email notifications they all say, “Forumspark Notifications” which is fine but it would be nice to be able to change what it says when emails are sent to “Forumspark Support Notifications” or “ Spark Promotion Notifications” etc.

I am not one to post about celebrities passing, but I actually saw Mike Ditka on the streets of Chicago when I worked there in the 90s!! He was going into the Chicago Tribune Building on Michigan Avenue after exiting his limo! I didn’t realize who it was at first until someone on the street said it out loud. Then I turned around to get a better look!

Ditka coached the Bears in 86 when they won SuperBowl XX. RIP Ditka.

In page studio you have a home page but you can create a new page which names it “new page”. I don’t see anywhere this can be changed as the title stays “new page.”

I made this with AI 😀

If you accept ads on your site, have you found that it helps pay for it? Or are you more into doing mutual exchanges of advertising with other sites?

Categories, boards, and sub-boards.

How many is too many to start with?

How often do you add new ones to your forum?

What has to happen before you’ll consider adding a new one?

Are you good at responding to members fairly quickly when they need help? Is it within the hour? 6 hours? 24? More?

What does your moderation protocol policy look like when members violate the rules?

I managed to change the Boo & Co theme into this.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my ForumSpark community called EmpireKicking.

https://empirekicking.forumspark.net/

The forum is mainly centred around flight simulation, streaming, and gaming. I stream regularly and also create content around Microsoft Flight Simulator, including flights, add-ons, and general aviation discussion.

The idea behind the forum is to have a place where people who enjoy flight sim and gaming can talk, share experiences, and follow what I’m doing with my streams and projects.

On the forum you’ll find things like:

• Discussions around Microsoft Flight Simulator
• Posts about flight routes and events
• Updates from my Twitch streams and content
• General gaming and tech discussions
• A place for members to chat and share their own interests

I’ve always enjoyed building online communities and websites, so this forum is another step in creating a place where people with similar interests can connect and talk about aviation and gaming.

If you enjoy flight simulation, aviation, or gaming communities, feel free to stop by and have a look.

Thanks for reading,
EmpireKicking

Hey

Can we get some sort of moderator log? A member claims they were temporarily banned yet I didn't do it and I'm sure no one else will confess to it. It would help to have a moderator log to see if someone did do it or there is something else going on.

I run across a bug. With the Live Chat / Shoutbox on the side bar the Emoji drop down box gets cut off.

@Gizmo is the king of seasonal forum events. 🙂

Do any of you do this sort of thing?

Seasonal-boards, seasonal themes, seasonal contests, etc.

If so, tell us about it and what seasons you do on your forum.

You may have seen some of the discussion around ProBoards' recently updated Terms of Service.

One change in particular has understandably caught the attention of community owners. Their new terms grant ProBoards a perpetual, irrevocable and sublicensable license to user content, including specifically for large language model development and AI training by ProBoards and/or its partners.

That isn't how we believe community hosting should work.

When you build a community on ForumSpark, your community's data remains your data. We don't claim the right to use your members' discussions to train AI models, and we don't believe choosing a hosted platform should mean giving up control over what you've spent years building.

You can leave ForumSpark.

Obviously, we'd rather you didn't. 😄

But if you ever decide ForumSpark is no longer right for you, you can export your community data in the AdminCP. We don't believe in making it deliberately difficult to leave just because we happen to host the database.

A community can contain years of discussions, friendships, knowledge, photographs and history. The hosting company shouldn't be the thing standing between an administrator and that history.

Coming from ProBoards?

We've already seen community owners discussing alternatives following the changes. And worse, even closing their communities.

Migrating away from ProBoards isn't necessarily straightforward because of how their platform works, but if you're considering starting again on ForumSpark, talk to us.

We'll do our best to help you figure out what can be brought across, what options are available and how to get your community running again without simply leaving you to figure everything out yourself.

We're not going to pretend every ProBoards community can magically be transferred perfectly. In some cases, starting fresh may genuinely be the most practical option.

But we'll help where we can.

ForumSpark was built around a pretty simple idea:

You should be able to build your community without giving ownership of its future to the company hosting it.

Your members.
Your discussions.
Your community.
Your data.
