Custom domain help

On the ACP it says you need to put a cname with "@" under host but my DNS manager doesn't allow that. It makes me use 0-9 and a-z. I can't use symbols.

I have it set up with www though, but can't set it up without that to my knowledge. Do I need to do something with the A (host)?

Is a "Introduce Yourself" thread actually necessary?

I was checking one new forum yesterday and the first thing I saw was “Introduce Yourself Here.” does anybody truly enjoy that thing again? Most people just type “hello i'm new here” and disappear forever. People now prefer entering hot gist immediately instead of formal introductions. Attention span has reduced badly.

:D

Reset

Would it be possible to do a full reset, so the forum can go to its original state as if it had just been created?

Release 1.7.1

This is a small yet with great impact release. Something that needed to be done before resuming work on 2.0.

Performance

  • Significantly faster page loads across the site which most noticeable on mobile and for logged-in members. Achieved by edge-caching the theme stylesheet, minifying CSS, serving build assets with long-lived immutable caching, and loading real-time features only on pages that use them.

  • Faster topic and forum pages which eliminated repeated/redundant database queries on the busiest pages (topic view, forum index, navigation menus, online statistics).

  • Lighter pages for guests who aren't logged in and longer downloads the real-time messaging client they don't need.

  • Optimized avatars & images for uploaded avatars and widget images which are now automatically resized and converted to WebP, so they load much faster and use far less bandwidth.

  • Faster post reactions and activity feeds.

Bug Fixes

  • Dark mode avatars where a board's custom default avatar now shows correctly in dark mode (previously it fell back to initials).

  • Topic labels where you can now add or change a topic's label directly from within the thread.

  • Private message Toasts now show a proper, readable message instead of an internal code.

  • Theme editor were fixed on color and setting changes not saving correctly.

  • Real-time notifications & chat had a fix scoping so live notifications and chat are reliably delivered to the correct board.

  • Online (guests) list now ordered by most recently active first.

  • Mobile messaging changed when opening a conversation on a phone, the conversation now appears above your inbox list (no more scrolling past all your conversations to reach it).

As always, if you see anything off, feel free to let us know. 🙂

Randomly getting notifications from other forums

It doesn't happen often but I've been getting random notifications periodically from other forums unrelated to mine. I got a notification about something in this forum: https://razorbladekisses.forumspark.net/ on my forum. I clicked on it and took me to a forum I was not allowed to see. Looking at that forum there are no posts according to the forum stats. I'm pretty sure it said something like someone made a post on that forum but I don't exactly remember. Maybe it meant it was created because it was just created today?

Server Error in Theme Editor

I just got this message on my forum while editing in the theme editor:

Oops! It looks like something went wrong. Rest assured, our team has been notified of the error.

Go home

It isn't keeping my settings, keeps going to dark theme. I logged out and back in still same error. It doesn't happen while logged out oddly enough. I got it fixed but only by changing something in the editor and saving it. If I don't change something to save the settings, it keeps resulting in that error even after closing out of the editor. It seems to happen in the editor when I switch from editing light theme to dark theme using the toggle in the editor.

I did notice when I change it to dark in the editor my personal setting stay on light, but the forum is dark. Maybe it's a mismatch, my setting is light but it's dark on the editor? I'm no programmer but I think maybe this is the cause?

Binance or Bybit?

Do you have any experience with using both Binance and Bybit? They are two cryptocurrency exchange website their services covers literally the whole world unlike Coinbase. It's why more people make use of them than Coinbase.

Which one is better between Binance and Bybit in terms of service quality?

What's the best game you've played recently?

I just finished playing one new game my friend recommended. He hyped it like it's the best of the best. After playing it, I don't see anything special. Sometimes I feel like people just overhype things for no reason. Not every “top game” is actually top in the real sense.

Are paid to click websites a waste of time?

What's your experience with using paid to click websites? Some years ago, they used to be very popular because so many people try to earn from using those sites. Over the years, their popularity have dropped so badly.

How did you make your first dollar as a forum owner?

The truth is that it's not all forum owners that want to make money from managing their communities. Some just do it for fun managing people. Those who make money do so through selling of ads space and using monetization tools like Google Adsense.

Are you earning money from your forum?

Have you banned anyone recently?

When it comes to forum management, no matter what you do, there will always be that member(s) who doesn't care about breaking the forum rules and damning the consequences. They are simply troublesome and can't be controlled but banned.

Who was the last member you banned in your forum? Why did you ban the member?

Have you ever been scammed as a freelancer?

To the best of my knowledge, the reason why most freelancers are scammed online after working for their clients is because they accept jobs, complete and deliver them without getting any payment upfront.

Do you prefer to be paid in advance for your online gigs?

Mainpage Section for Widgets?

I was thinking making a spot for widgets where they'd only appear on your main page but when you go into forums or topics they would not show up? Like if you put a welcome message above the board or affiliates in the footer, there would be an option slider if you only wanted them to appear on the main page of the forum?

Release 1.7.0

We’re getting close to 2.0 now, and a lot of this release is groundwork to make that jump smoother and break less along the way.But it’s not all plumbing - there’s a big new feature for anyone who likes their board just so, a proper “install it like an app” upgrade, and a handful of quality-of-life...
