Description of problem

No matter how I try to add a jotform to my forum, the link is changed to phishing. I really need these forms on our forums - what to do? I am not phishing. Thank you - Felicity

Btw - that was a lot to go through for a simple questions - just saying>

Best and thank you, Felicity

Could you please post the link to Jotform?

https://form.phishing-site.www/53244827141149 Yikes, it even changed it in the post it should read http://form.phishing-site.www - and then, the number. (This is an edit).

and when I put it into html page or wysiwyg on wigets - the link is changed to https://form.phishing-site.www/53244827141149

Oh my, I guess if I just type jotform - I am in trouble. It should read .phishing-site.www - uh oh - hope it doesn't change it again. Another edit - sorry - I can't get it to stop changing the code.

Oh well, it seems to be anything with jot form.com I am guessing - sorry another edit - what can I do to use a jotform on our forums anyhow - is there anyway? Thanks

Have you tried this:  https://help.forumotion.com/t9533-generating-free-forms-for-your-forum?highlight=forms ?

No- we use jotforms now, because we have for so long and now is not the time to change things on our forums. if there is no way to use them, that's all I need to know. Thank you.

I did some reading on there site and ran across this article that may help you. Have you ever been able to use the jotform with this website with success?

When I use the real link it adds phishing etc junk also

yes, we have it here - https://secure.jotformpro.com/form/42825330774961

I will check that out, but your link also changed. Did you notice that?

yes indeed I did, I even added xxx. in place of www.

This also might be the reason:  https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120215/18044017773/us-government-suspends-jotformcom-over-user-generated-forms-censorship-regime-expands.shtml .

Try net, not com.

That article was written in 2012, and jotform has been doing well and very secure for many years since. I am just sad that we are unable to use them on our forum.

It just seems to be forumotion somehow 'changing' the code when jotform is in the code -

Hello,

It could be maybe that Jotform is on the forumotion blacklist.

Did you tried changing the links to net?

I am trying to work it out with jotform to see what the problem is - we are not 'phishing', have strict privacy policy guidelines, and make sure that all information is secure and private. I am not aware that jotforms is a security problem for people. But, I don't know why the links are changed. If we should not be using that company for membership forms, we should know that. I have looked everywhere for anything explaining why this is happening. I don't understand, but we have been on hold now for a week or so - which just costs us members. Thank you for your help.

The article I linked was talking about JotForms, not individual sites.  There were some people who was using it illegal.  Because of this, all sites that used JotForms saw the links changed and not work.

You have not answered my question about net.

yes - this is what comes up from that link ,

Question:  Does your form ask for log in (username & email) information?  If yes, it is against JotForms Terms of Service.

No it does not. We also have terms of service and privacy policy. Never mind - we will not use it, but use a question answer on the forums as we did before.

It does not matter if you have one or not you have to follow Forumotion's and JotForm's Terms of Service.  If you do a search, you will see that many people have had this issue.  The answer JotForms gave was that the forums were illegal or broke their Terms of Service.  When they found out the forms are being misused, they change the link.

Jotform has no problem with us at all. I just moved them - we don't phish ever.

is this problem solved ?
