Support / Ads at top of page
« on: June 30, 2017, 02:27:05 am »
Morning fella's, got a couple of questions for you this morning.

1. The ads kicked in last night at the top of my forum, not that I mind but, the ads are totally pointless, the link they take you to says the items cannot be found so I doubt they are making SMFNew2 much ad revenue.

2. Can SMF mods be added to my forum? I can't see a way of doing it, but just wondered if you guys could?

3 Pro hosting - What happened to it?

4 Last but not least, If (and its a very huge 'if') my forum took off in a big way, which is doubtful as there are too many out there, and say I wanted to transfer to SMF with web hosting, could I take all of my forum with me, as in, is there a way to back up and restore it?

Many thanks.

Support / Insecure password warning
« on: June 29, 2017, 01:51:47 am »
Morning guys, just wondered if theres anything that can be done about the insecure password warning that we seem to be getting. I'm also getting it on Firefox now as well as google chrome and I have a feeling it could be off putting for members.

This morning when I went on my forum it had logged me out and a new page in firefox opened up with this warning:
Insecure password warning in Firefox Firefox will display a lock icon with red strike-through red strikethrough icon in the address bar when a login page you’re viewing does not have a secure connection. This is to inform you that if you enter your password it could be stolen by eavesdroppers and attackers.
Starting in Firefox version 52, you will also see a warning message when you click inside the login box to enter a username or password.

Obviously this is going to be quite scary for some members, Can anything be done? Thanks in advance.

Its me... beck again, sorry.

I have just created a new usergroup for the original members of my forum, they inherited permissions from regular members. But for some reason none of them can see the eze portal blocks at the side. Anyone know what the problem might be??
Thanks

Does this mean that I can buy a custom url for my forum and have that as my forums web address? Does this affect serch engine indexing, and load time for the forum?

Support / Slow Loading
« on: June 20, 2017, 02:27:19 am »
Morning guys,

As stated my forum seems to be really slow loading this morning. Its normally pretty instant on each page, but this morning it seems to be taking ages. I have enable that page created timer, and I'm getting around 3.xxx for each page. My internet is fine, this forum loaded fast, everything else loads pretty quick.
Will this right itself or are there steps I need to take to correct it? Thanks.

Is it possible to upload a Flavicon to our forums? Just trying to get a few finishing touches done but I don't understand style sheets or html etc. Well some basic html I know, not much though.

Support / Forum promotion
« on: June 07, 2017, 05:32:10 am »
Hi guys,

So my forum is up and running nicely now, got a few members and promoting on FB and Twitter, but how do I get search engines to notice and list me? Or will they have done that already. Sometimes I see like 20 to 30 guests all viewing the boards, but when I check the IP a lot of them state Google Cloud, are these bots crawling my site?

Is there any other way to promote interest?

Support / Some kind of warning from Google
« on: June 03, 2017, 02:47:48 am »
After adding the google verification to the header on my forum, I had this appear in google toolbox.

      To: owner of  Beginning in January 2017, Chrome (version 56 and later) will mark pages that collect passwords or credit card details as “Not Secure” unless the pages are served over HTTPS. The following URLs include input fields for passwords or credit card details that will trigger the new Chrome warning. Review these examples to see where these warnings will appear, and so you can take action to help protect users’ data. The list is not exhaustive. http://ceekaysvapeshack.smfnew2.com/general-vape-chat/
 Bearing in mind I'm not collecting any passwords or credit card details... the only password my members have to input is on registration. Any idea's why I'm getting this or even how I can fix it?

New User Introduction / Afternoon!
« on: June 01, 2017, 09:01:42 am »
Hi guys n gals,

A bit late introducing myself, but better late than never. This is my first forum (that belongs to me) I made it as I have been working on a forum for the past 5 years doing admin/moderation but just got made redundant as the forum quit! :(

So here I am. Was going to go down the hosting/paid route, but decided free would be best for now.

Anyhow thats me.... glad to be here, and thankful to smfnew2 who has helped me immensely already!

Support / Uploading smilies
« on: May 31, 2017, 04:04:46 pm »
Ok sorry to bother you again already.... I have just purchased the smiley upgrade for $20. When I try and and upload my own smiley, they upload, but dont show the gif, just the label, then it tells me they are missing from other sets. Even though there are no other sets!

This is just so complicated... I keep uploading, and deleting and im going round in circles. I have searched on here and found a few posts, but just cant seem to get my head around this.

How do smiley sets all have the same smileys? How do I upload new smileys and get the actual smiley to show rather than just the label?

Please please help!

Hi all,

When a member tried posting via the mobile version of the site, it wont let him post. I tried to post via mobile and I'm getting a syntax error, unexpected 'else' (T_ELSE)
Is there a fix for this?

Thanks
