ForumSpark Support

So i just checked a thread of mine here - https://revillution.forumspark.net/topics/affiliate-with-revillution.50066

and it's broken, the BBcode doesn't parse and when i clicked "Edit" the emotes on the left side aren't there at all.

Edit: Here's another example, a youtube video should be shown instead it's just a link: Road to 200 for CarlosX720 - Revillution

Whenever I try to use an image as a signature in the signature section using the [img][/img] tags.....it refreshes the page and turns off dark mode but doesn't parse the BBcode or image......there should also maybe be an ability to upload/attach an image as a signature, maybe as a groups permission?

here is a pic:

Edit: Okay so after futher investigation, it does work, just that there's no signature preview. This might be a feature to add in the future.....but the dark mode turning off upon signature editing still needs to be fixed.

I've had the Recent Activity Widget in place now for two days and I've had new threads/posts for the last 14 hours, but the widget on Drama Llama still says 3 weeks ago.

Howabout letting us create folders/directories within the file manager so we can better organzie files we may upload there? Jcink has this ability and it works out well for things like theme graphics, etc.

If i try to hide the original category and 3 forums that get created with FS, it removes all my other forums. This seems like a bug?

If i try to hide the original category that's autocreated when you make a forum, this is what happens:

I was testing out the bulletins and when i went to delete the one I made I got the following error instead of it just deleting and going back to the bulletin's page:

Take note of the URL for more assistance in fixing the bug I suppose.

It seems that when selecting either the dark or light theme on one theme, it automatically applies to all other themes, even those where I have dark/light mode disabled.

Now that I selected light mode, when I refresh the page it switches back to dark mode, and I can no longer get it to stay on light mode. It keeps resetting back to dark every time.

This is happening across all themes.

I have also tried CTRL + F5 to clear the cache, but it does not change anything — the page still resets back to dark mode.

Within the hub, when using daerkmode, when you check your notifications, it's very hard to read them until you 'mark as read'.

here's a pic of what i mean:

Some theming/fixes could help this a lot. :)

I implemented a theme I'm having work done on, and then disabled it, it's still set as my theme for my account, despite it not being the default theme, and unless i re-enable the theme and change it manually, I'm stuck using the theme.

There should be a setting to force all users to use the default theme or perhaps an admin setting within editing a member to manually choose which theme they use.

Is there a way for the admin of a board to disable a user's ability to delete their own account within the user controls?

Allow us to edit the recent activity widget (as well as new topics widget) and allow for us to choose which forums it pulls from and leave out ones we don't want? & can we have more than 1 'recent activity' widget live but perhaps under a different widget title of our choosing, only pulling from specific forums?

Does that make sense? It's nearly 3am don't mind me if it sounds confusing :P

We can place something cool and nice to be more attractive with this widget

There is no option to add an image to the image carousel widget.....where is it supposed to pull the images from?

I set the visibility to everyone and it shows nothing because there are no images or any option to add any images......

in addition to that, would it be possible to link the images to a URL of our choice? Could a carousel widget be expanded in the future for say an embedded Twitch stream that only shows up on the site if the streamer is live?

Right now, the file manager only allows you to upload an image, but there's no way to get the direct URL of the upload after it's uploaded? there's just a "Download" or "Delete" button.

Edit: Scratch that, I see the "Download" button is what i'm looking for lmao.

Howabout the ability to set a specific theme/skin within a forum? like have a theme hidden from regular use but let it be used for a specific set of forums on a board?

to expand on this idea further, can we have it so there's a group permissions section for themes? So which groups can see/use a theme, etc.

This would be helpful for account upgrades for say a premium membership gets access to a different theme regular members cannot use?

When you hover over a user's name, and their profile card pops up, having a "View profile" or easy way to get to their profile from the profile card would be a good implementation IMO.

What sort of safeguards are in place to prevent or combat AI crawler/scraper bots from bombarding the servers at FS?

One of the reasons i'm planning on moving my site over is because it's being bombarded by crawler/AI scrape bots and using up all my hosting's resources.

When I go to the Feed, it's kind of confusing that I see the first post in a thread instead of the most recent post. Is there a way to show the latest post instead?

I understand why the mass email members option isn't there in the admin panel. I do have a workaround.....you can utilize the Jcink method for non-premium subscribers.... how this works is you click on the "Mass Email" option in the admin panel, then there's your list of groups, you select which ones you wish to send a mass email to, and hit "Generarte email list." then what it does is it'll fire back a list of user emails that were apart of the usergroups you selected.

From there, you use your favorite email service, IE: Gmail, and send an email that way, while putting the list of emails in the CC box, so their email stays private from others.

Neat idea/workaround right? :) Think this is something that can be done, Cedric?

Howabout a section in profiles where other users can leave messages on a user's wall or perhaps let the user post status updates? Similar to the likes of Facebook?

This has been a feature on most forum softwares since the days of vBulletin 3.7.x and I figured it couldn't hurt to see it on ForumSpark? :)

A lovely feature I see on other forum software is the ability to highlight specific text in a post to quote that text only. That way, people can be selective about what text they quote and not have to quote a whole reply to quote a specific portion or delete part of the quote on the reply screen to quote that portion only.

A neat feature in the admin panel would be to allow admins to award users achievements.

Example, because I imported my DB, it says my join date was today....despite my site being over 5 years old, I cannot gain this achievement I should already have, while my co-admin Shortie was granted the achievement due to her registration date.

If not that, perhaps allow the admin to change registration date in the admin CP?

Howabout an account upgrades system where admins can monetize their forums a bit? Perhaps an ecommerce system so they can offer services such as posting packages and the like for money?

I'm trying to remove the entire Board Statistics category, along with the skin selector, 'mark forum as read' link, and date/time. The only thing I want to have is the box I coded below all that, with the 'online now', online today', and 'recent activity' boxes.

My CSS had some padding elements in it that aren't working. I was trying to put some space between the two online boxes, instead of having them smushed together. I also tried to fit both columns into the same width as the forum above, but nothing I've tried has affected the width at all.

As it stands, it's not possible for admins to change or reset a user's password within the admin CP. This needs to be fixed ASAP. I have a co-admin who cannot log into the forum because their password no longer works post-conversion and I cannot reset or change it for them.

Until this is added or addressed, I simply can't move forward with moving my site over to ForumSpark :(

Just dropping this here so it gets seen and not lost within PM's and the like.
