If these issues are related to no activity points, you can increase your points by posting more, getting more members, members to post more, etc.

If I understand correctly, there are two different possible issues. One is the forum is outdated and/or the second one being there are no activity points. It's like apples & oranges mixed together. I guess I must fall in both categories using phpBB2 also. Thanks for the answers. Much appreciated.

I guess my main takeaway from this recent policy change is that there is nothing that can be done to keep a forum from being restricted, or whatever its called that inhibits function, besides increasing activity points to some undisclosed acceptable number.

About 2 months ago, there was an issue with forums having redirects hidden within their page code. Can't remember the reason that was given then. It is somewhere on this forum. This looks like round two. If this is the path the administration wants to take in the future, then I would suggest that whatever forum does not comply with their rules (wrong coding/activity points/or whatever) gets simply flushed. At least we would know where we stand instead of these improvised pressure tactics.

I hope they reconsider portals an widgets help out alot on a big forum including affiliated sites that are sisters to each. I really enjoy widgets alot it helps to keep you as admin from adding more to topics alot big time. I had like 11 portals for my RPG sections for like characters ect stuff including inter working of the build in to give information to topics.

I would just like to remind everyone that all that needs to be in order for all the stuff to be re enabled is make a couple posts a day. Once the forum no longer has 0 activity points it will revert back to your settings.

We understand that this update does cause issues on test forums (including our own) and we have pointed this out to head office. We are waiting to hear back.

Some how even though I still have 0 active my widgets came back did Forumotion change there minds? If so I am happy with the this out come an choice. It means alot to me to have widgets back an working correctly an portals. Portals an widgets are a major apart a team with each other. I don't were things are with Forumotion right now if it's fix then the issue is solved an resolved because I was ready to just deal with it an add more sub topics with my RPG characters I had in my widgets a stuff to give me something to do an update a few things. Only admins know if this is fixed as I seeing it now from my chrome it seems fixed.

Oh I testing it out right now I tested a widget for guest view it is working properly now :party:

I mean sometimes it's impossible to get new members an have them active. You have to think IRL stuff school etc stuff life throws at you sometimes it's hard to keep a active forum Forumotion knows this fact honestly keep this in mind.

It is unlikely any change was made today as head office is closed on weekends except for absolute emergencies (I.e Servers down or database issues).

Yes, mine https://www.pyongyangtrafficgirls.com has been good since yesterday too, I also was wondering if someone fixed the problem, but apparently everyone's forums have just began functioning normally again. I was able to reconfigure my portal back to what it was no problem, I looked at it on 4 different browsers and all is OK. Hope this was just a temporary glitch.
