Thanks - I don't really use it other than for forum business or to reply to the occasional incoming email or from the contact us email. But yes it's clearly not going to be functional as a normal email address now - I did quite a bit of networking from it. Thanks. I did try to sign up to AWS...

I recently switched to Google Workspace email a couple of months ago, and it's all going well and even delivering my weekly newsletters. However, I noticed that my sent email folder was enormous and it contains every single email sent by the forum. So I went through deleting a lot of of them...

Thank you.

Thank you - your help is much appreciated :-) I'll wait for further information on that then. I don't want to just install 2.3.7 and then find I don't know what to do. My site is heavy with images, especially the home page. But just to clarify - I open public_html, select the "Install"...

Thank you. I can't see anything like that under Install either, so it would be good if it is not longer needed. Under Install I have index.php, install.css, oc-upgrader.php. Nothing looks "runnable"!

Thank you. No I know how to install 2.3.7 - I'm currently on 2.3.6. So basically unzip the patch and upload it to the server? In public html? Somewhere? You see this is the bit that doesn't compute with me "forumhome/js/xf/ directory" Is that in public_html? Also where the is the master...

Please can someone give me a step by step what to do ..... 1) Unzip the patch 2) Replace what where? 3) Where do I rebuild the master data? Is that in cache's in ACP or in the server? It says here "One click to upgrade directly to 2.3.7 Directly from your admin control panel" Some of us...

Ok so I'm still waiting to install it. What do I do after installing? Is the patch something to just run? There is mention of replacing a file somewhere.

So this patch isn't just something to run/install then? Do I have to go into the server and replace a file? When is 2.3.8 coming out? Images are a big part of my site - don't want them all messed up and then find I don't know how to use the patch!

Thanks - I'll keep waiting then. Not keen on installing a patch.

Just checking to see if whatever the issue with images was, has been resolved as I still haven't upgraded to 2.3.7. Thanks.

Andy B's parser addon does realtime conversions to links. I believe there is an option to replace older links but that is a separate thing which I didn't do. The parser addon just converts links as they are posted. It's worked well for me. This new version of the Amazon parser addon adds...

As an update, I'm up to 363 members again now and all going well :-) Although it was 850 members pre March. But getting there. Seem to have picked up a few from Reddit strangely. Reddit REFUSE to remove the post saying the Hamster Forum is closed - which comes up high on Google searches...

So it's Imgur that's blocking the images then? Not the site itself? Hence being able to read the site text - is that right? I didn't know phpBB used imgur?

I recently switched to gmail. Are you within the daily limits? I think it's quite high but there is a limit of 500 recipients for the same email on my plan (the cheapest one). Also my server AI bot talked me through setting up SPF, DKIM and DMARC as well, but Google itself produced the...
