работоспособность still goes straight through the spam filter with /[\u0400-\u04FF]{3,}/u.

This looks promising for other use cases on other forums that I run, but for now, I just want to block anything that isn't a-zA-Z0-9 and special characters like semi-colons, apostrophes, etc. I assumed that this would reject messages containing Russian and some Chinese with a reject message...

Any help on disallowing/rejecting any messages containing Russian, Chinese, Japanese, etc. before it goes into the approval queue? I'm primarily being hit by Russian spam, and I would like it to reject the message (so I can edit the prompt to English a-zA-Z0-9 only).

You could put this into config.php: $config['development']['enabled'] = true; Change the values. Save it. Then remove it from config.php so that something else doesn't erroneously get changed later on. Your changes will be saved, but I'm not entirely sure if this is the correct way to do it...

They were obviously phased out from the first iterations of forums (BBS), but there wasn't, to my knowledge, any platform that had picked it up when that type of conversation faded into obscurity. If it had become the norm from the beginning (the HTML for that might've looked disastrous with...

+1 if this can change the suggestion. I never understood how bulletin boards went away from nested replies. I remember being a 'member' of some forums that were set up like this in a 'What's new' type list: > Topic 1 >> RE: Topic 1 >> RE: Topic 1 >>> RE: Topic 1 >> RE: Topic 1 > Topic 2 >> RE...

It's an auto-manual multi-step process to get new/update forums using 3 different 3rd party services (4 if Archive.org is included in the manual process, which might be able to be automated too, but I haven't looked into their API). It could be closer to fully automatic with just manual eyes on...

Deleted the post as the phrase_id suggests it was added at some point after the install somehow, unbeknownst to me, but after inspection, only awarded a handful of times, and to those who showed the birthday month and day (no longer a live forum). Nonetheless, it should be known (if not obvious...

Easier than I imagined. Thanks, @Russ!

I use $config['adminColorHueShift'] = #; in config.php to delineate between the ACP of a production (155 for red) and a dev instance (250 for green). I'm quite keen on the Default style and would like to use it on multiple forums, with minor CSS changes for different effects (other than color)...

I have been hit with a ton of Russian spam lately, and as the forum's language isn't Russian, I sought to block (or flat out 'Reject') the entire language with this spam filter (spamPhrases): [а-яА-ЯёЁ]{3,} But, when I copy a post over and try to post it, it won't reject the message (nor if I...

I exported a style with add ons and now there are a lot of ungrouped properties. Is there a way to remove them? Would I need to install the add on and then uninstall it to remove them one by one? I have Dev mode on, and there doesn't seem to be a "Delete" button for them. Perhaps this needs...

Try this standalone search: site:forumdirectory.com It's indexed, but rank hit the tank with the last Google update. Notably, Bing picked up the slack.

A lot are still to be added. But, I am slowly dripping them in now over weeks/months instead of chunks of 10-20 a day, as that may have contributed to the drop in Google ranking. Thanks for the idea! Perhaps I could work it into a feature of some sort. If I did, it would probably be changed to...

Found this thread and did the same thing. I'm in development mode, but there's still no way to remove them. Is this even possible?
