Description of problem

Hi Nice Person,
I created a new forum but am struggling on how to send invitations to new members. I've been a user of ForumMotions before, but never set one up, so I'm at a bit of a loss.
I'd appreciate any advice.

Description of problem

I attempted to post new photos on my forum. My preferred image host is Imageshack. Although all of the images are working properly and are not hidden, they are being redirected through a 2img.net link modification, and that has broken the images. On all of the previous images that had been routed through 2img.net, there are no issues. It only occurs with new images. I tried with both Photobucket and Imgur as well. Photobucket viewing is enabled on the forum. Photobucket was redirected through 2img.net and was broken, but the Imgur link was not. I had another member use their image host of choice, Imgbox, and it, too, was not redirected. The 2img part seems to be the issue. In the screenshot, you can see the previewed images and how the site changes the links after being posted.

Description of problem

The forum's own images don't load, resulting in the screenshot shown. No background, or custom icons, etc. And the layout is also affected. User avatars also do not show, but images embedded into posts/comments do show normally.
Adverts on the page also seem to show normally.

I'm using Firefox, on a Mac. Both browser and OS fully updated.

I've asked around, and apparently no other user is having this problem. It just seems to be me, and I have no idea why.
It seems to also be happening on other Forumotion sites I try to visit, inclluding this one.

Additional: I have checked other browsers, and my anti-virus, and have not got any ad-blockers.
I have been advices by both Firefox and Apple (Mac) support that this is an issue with the forum, and not with the OS or browser.
On further investigation, I've also found that each time I clear my own cache, the forum momentarily works. Then, once open, as soon as the first cookie appears from the Forumotion forum, the problem resumes (no site images). I have again been advised by Firefox support that this is an issue with specific cookies coming from the forum and Forumotion.

Many members are having problems accessing our website/forum. I believe it may be related to an SSL security certificate issue. I can access the forum only via Safari on my iphone browser.

When trying to access the forum via Chrome on my desktop I get a typical "website not secure" warning.

When I ignore the warning and try to advance to the website I get a "ERR" error from Chrome. It says the server location is: http://m91.maxns.net/

Hello,

We've been experiencing some problems with our custom memberlist and can't figure out why. It's been working fine sinds 2016 and as of a few weeks ago members started to report problems with the avatars not showing up.

Changing specific sub-forum style

Hello everyone,

In this tutorial we will show you how to style a specific sub-forum instead of having all subforums styled the same way.

Preview Result

This will be the result after finishing this tutorial:

Topics tagged under phpbb2 on The forum of the forums Screen29

Installation

To install this and have the specific subforums of your choice styled, you have to follow the below information.

Template Editing

Go to Administration Panel > Display > Templates : General > index_box and edit the template. Once you are there, follow the edit information below based on your forum version:

#PhpBB2, #PunBB, #Invision
Find:

Code::  <tr>

and replace it with this:

Code::  <tr class="forum_each" data-forum="{catrow.forumrow.U_VIEWFORUM}">

#PhpBB3, #ModernBB
Find:

Code::  <li class="row">

and replace it with this:

Code::  <li class="row forum_each" data-forum="{catrow.forumrow.U_VIEWFORUM}">

#AwesomeBB
Find:

Code::  <div class="forum-section {catrow.forumrow.FOLDER_CLASSNAME} {catrow.forumrow.TYPE_SECTION}">

and replace it with this:

Code::  <div class="forum-section {catrow.forumrow.FOLDER_CLASSNAME} {catrow.forumrow.TYPE_SECTION} forum_each" data-forum="{catrow.forumrow.U_VIEWFORUM}">

After you do the change in the template, save it and press the green cross to publish the template.

CSS code addition

Go to Administration Panel > Display > Pictures and Colors : Colors > CSS Stylesheet and add the code based on your forum version:
#PhpBB2, #PunBB, #Invision

Code:: .forum_each[data-forum*="fXX-"] .row1.over { background-color: darkred; font-size: 16px; }

#PhpBB3, #ModernBB, #AwesomeBB

Code:: .forum_each[data-forum*="fXX-"] { background-color: darkred; font-size: 16px; }

and once you finish adding the code in your CSS click the Save button to save your CSS.

Explanations

In the CSS codes above you see this part:

Code:: [data-forum*="fXX-"]

. What you need to change in that part is the XX based on the category you want to change. In order to find the one category you want to change you simple click on the category and check the link above.

If the category you want to change has a link

Code:: https://{FORUMNAME}.com/f1-your-first-category

then the only thing you need to get is the number after the first slash.

Code:: /f1-

is the one to get from this example. Here it's /f1 so the number you have to add is 1.

In other words, you simply change XX from the above code with 1 and so on. You can do this to as many categories as you wish.

Hope you like this tutorial and you find it useful!
Best of luck to all.

When the problem appeared : I noticed after a few months / years of absence that my rainbow username java code stopped working but i cant tell when exactly
Forum link : ( link is hidden, you must reply to see )

Description of problem

Hello. Back in 2015 I used to have a JAVA code making so the admin names were always in rainbow color along with a crown icon besid it. I came back recently and noticed its been gone but I havent touched anything in ages (knowing im the only one who can acces the administration pannel)so im guessing somethings changed in the forumotion coding itself which disabled my customised code or huh the site just dont support it anymore.

here is the JAVA script I used to have:

Code:: $(function(){ multiColor(1, 'Thelma'); function multiColor(id, html){$('a[href="/u'+id+'"]').not(function(){return $("img",this)[0]}).html(html)} });

Note I recently tried to tweak it using one of you tutorial but it didnt work.

and as for the crown icon beside our name is also stopped working

Code:: a[href="https://lfdp.bbactif.com/g1-foundator"] { background: url("https://2img.net/i/fa/admin/couronne.png") no-repeat; padding-left: 19px; padding-top: 2px; } a span[style="#1C95FF"]!important strong { background:url(https://i.servimg.com/u/f71/14/67/12/66/crown_10.png) no-repeat; padding-left:19px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-top:0px; }

I deleted my old one I used to have that stopped working also and used one from here, it worked for a few minute then it suddenly disapeared when I was working on my categories.

Description of problem

Hi,

This is my first post, I joined the Forumotion forum to report a problem.
Since a couple of weeks the forum themuckyplace.forumotion.com is extremely slow, been waiting for the problem to resolve by itself, but unfortunately that's not happening.

Because the issue stayed, I decided to run a sitecheck on Sucuri.net. (Link to scan result)

The scan came up with a warning that malware was detected :

This page includes a JavaScript/iframe from adstune.com that is blacklisted by Sucuri Labs, see https://labs.sucuri.net/?blacklist=adstune.com

https://adstune.com/ap/index.php?lang=en&dim=728x90

I don't know if this is causing the site to run slow, but it's possible.
Can you help me to clean up the mess and fix the forum so it runs normal again?

Kind Regards,
Canner

Hi all,
Strange problem. Rndom links are added to text posted by all users.

I recently changed the link colour in the administrator pages so that links are visible. Now it shows that there are hidden links !!

For example, look at https://sm0vpo.forumotion.com/t383-strange-link (withou logging in, view as a guest).

Words in the text have become external links "Link Added by VigLink" (mouse-over message). Link words include:
wire, shelving, furniture and system

At https://sm0vpo.forumotion.com/t376-welcome-new-users-kalyanprodhan-and-slim-jimmlinked words include:
furniture, home, design, mirror, wire, wood and modulators.

Q1 - Has the forum been hacked?
Q2 - Is this deliberate advertising shown to unregistered users?
Q3 - Is this dangerous to my users, resistered or otherwise?

Very best regards from Harry Lythall - SM0VPO

Description of problem

Long story short, The site founder was a good friend and passed away a few years ago. Teh gaming group we hosted the PHPBB for went defunct and we parted ways. Recently me and another co-founding member of our group decided to try and recoup assets of our old community for nostalgia sake. I WAS STARBURST007 on the forum and an administrator at one point. not sure why but i'm being told my email is no longer associated to that username although i have in my personal email coorespondence from back then showing otherwise. Could somebody reset my password or at least give me the email i need to get my login credentials. THNE if possible i need to go through the process of changing ownership to myself since our founder passed. I can provide documentation on that if necessary also.
