Description of problem

I’m having a problem with canonicals and wonder if someone has the answer. It’s probably staring me in the face, but I can’t see it.

My articles all point back to my landing page title. This is throwing up a host of duplicate pages.


Contrast this to another site where the article titles reflect the article title and not the forum title.


How do I do this for each article? I’ve tried putting in alternate links as in this example, but that doesn’t work.
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="/feed/?t=4" title="Fawsley Hall Historic Country House" />

Description of problem

The chatbox on the forum will not auto refresh. I either have to send a message or to refresh the entire page for the chatbox to update. This is very frustrating of course and makes it hard to maintain a conversation.

I tried switching computer, internet connection, navigator, removing cache and cookies, updating my computer, incognito mode, deactivating any extension on my browsers. Anything I could do on my end as a user was done I believe.

I have attached two screenshot, one of those seems to pinpoint the problem to a fetch command getting cancelled everytime.

Thank you in advance.

A post have been edited 7 times (as per the edit reason note at the bottom).
The OP says it has been edited back and forth between himself and another member.

The other poster denies doing that. Is there any way I can check the editing history for that specific post to see who is right?

RPG Sheet Template - Reference Specific Fields

Technical Details

Forum version : #phpBB3

Concerned browser(s) : Google Chrome

Forum link : https://testpeperoni.forumotion.com/u1rpg

Description of problem

Code:

<dl>
         <dt><label>{rpg_fields.F_NAME} :</label></dt>
         <dd>{rpg_fields.F_VALUE_NEW}</dd>
      </dl>

I'm looking to be able to display information from any of the custom variables individually. Like their username within a body of text, or a character stat.

Under the profile templates for the RPG-Sheet I'd like to be able to list fields in different divs rather than have them listed together. Is there a variety of something like {rpg_fields.F_VALUE_NEW} that lets me target my individual custom field IDs?

I'm thinking something along the lines of this as an example:
{rpg_fields_left.F_first-name}
{rpg_fields_left.F_001}

Code:

<div class="name">{Character name}</div>
<div class="age">{Character age}</div>

Hopefully I've over rather than under explained. I wasn't sure how to phrase it.

I am confused where this post should be, so put it here.

How do I include the permission for the Admin to be able to have access to the ACP.

I did a test name called Testing and put it in the Admin group and gave all permissions, but when testing that "fake" person, can't get into ACP.

I'm confused as to how to allow access for Admin to have access into ACP. I have one person I need to give this access to.

Thanks!

I have no idea where to post this, but normally we get an ad at the top of my forum because we are on the free plan. But we only get one ad.

Today, there are complaints of numerous ads that are overlapping each other and lots of them on top of each other covering the whole page.

My members can't get into the forum without trying numerous time to get in and are very frustrated.

I talked to other forumotion forums I belong to and they are being flooded with these ads too. They said they started yesterday for them.

I know we don't pay for the forum...but this a bit much. Are you all aware of this? Is so, do you know when it will be fixed. It's the beginning of a new month and all members come in to check in. They won't be able to do that. Very frustrated!

This is the only screen shot I got so far.


Thank you for your help.

Description of problem

I am not really sure if it's called a header bar, but there is white text inside that tan bar just below the date/time area. I am just noticing this as you can only see it if you run your mouse across the left top side of it. It says, "welcome". I cannot find out how to take that out of there. I search everywhere in the ACP with no luck.

Please let me know where that comes from and how to get it out of there.

Thank you for your time,

I am sorry to repost this. I started it this morning, but accidentally closed out my topic before I got the answer. That post is here... https://help.forumotion.com/t161395-white-space-and-sizes#1129690

I was trying to make that tan bars that's just below the date/time height shorter. I was given this code:

Code:                 div.inner {             height: 30px;         }

As you can see in my screen shot, it made a bunch of stuff go up into my logo...so that must not be the right code to decrease the height of that area. I am not sure what you call it that area.

Thank you for your time.

Angel

EDIT: I found what was making that bar so high. It was in my welcome message that still had the title in it. I still don't know what caused all the tabs and stuff to go up into the logo and would like to find that out.

Is there a code to add to a template for that? If so, what is the code and what template does it go in?

Or is it part of a paid package? I have the free forum.

Also, when using the "Host an Image" is that like using attachment so uses the forums allow storage?

I looked to where this should be and can't figure it out, so hope this is the right place.

Today I got an email from my forum that say it's a newsletter.




I did not send this out as an email or as a push notification, but I got it and at least some of my members got it. My forum really isn't even opened yet. My members from my other forum joined a year ago and no activity was being done by them in this forum. I have no idea how the email that is full of advertisements was sent out. There are only 2 people that were at the forum today. One was me and the other was a member that came in after she got the email and wanted to know what it is.

How and why would this type of email be sent out automatically? Or however it got sent out? Does this forum auto sent things like this? I am really upset about this because it is like a spam email that says it came from my forum.

I looked through my ACP and can't find anything that would have been checked to send out an auto email. I have a free forum so only get 1 newsletter a month, I sure wouldn't waste it on spam.

I hope you can figure this out, because my members are not happy with this spam and neither am I.

This actual forum is here... https://marvelousartworks.forumotion.com/f8-daz-info and I did not send out a push. I didn't even know what I push was until today.

Thanks for your help. And, sorry if this is in the wrong place. I did look for over a half hour of where this should be.

Thanks AngelM

We have two issues with bbcodes.
The first is image resizing via the code. Normally we would use the following code to resize images when posting [img width=X height=Y]image url[/img]. It isn't working. We've tried several other accepted methods as well.

The other thing is clickable 'codes'. Giving members a code for posting, you should be able to click on it to copy it; that doesn't work either.
