    [DBTech] DragonByte Member Map

    I understand. The last map I had on the site used the profile location and it worked fairly well because it's a car enthusiast forum and most input their location correctly. It also gave the user an option of not putting in their location or putting one of their choice. Thanks for the responses.

    [DBTech] DragonByte Member Map

    So occasional users may have a pin in the wrong place until they login again, or active users could have their pins follow them around if they don't manually place it? I have a separate question for you. I get asked why the profile location (city, state) isn't used to locate, which is how the...

    [DBTech] DragonByte Member Map

    I just had this map added to my forum and the members really like it. Thanks for your time and effort! I (they) have a question though. When it first goes through the batch update to load all the locations it catches users on vacation or somewhere other than where they live. If they find...

    Users getting scammed via Conversations

    It happened again yesterday. After they got in we did a google search and they also showed up as a new user on about 20 other forums. I think they rotate through sites as their accounts get deleted. I don't let new users use conversations so now they're posting a reply to the WTB posts for...

    Users getting scammed via Conversations

    It's a human. They get on the forum and then scam other users looking for parts.

    Users getting scammed via Conversations

    I validate by changing the status on the users profile, which shows in the Admin changelog. The latest scam user is valid without any history in the Admin changelog. I've asked the host previously to look into anything suspicious and they didn't see anything. I don't know what they should...

    Users getting scammed via Conversations

    This scam is still going on but now they've been able to validate their own new accounts! We've changed all of our passwords and removed all non-essential Admin accounts (one or two) and they're able to create a new account and validate within minutes. I already manually validate accounts...

    Users getting scammed via Conversations

    I'm sure some of you are aware of this but I'm getting new users (real people) joining the forum and contacting other users that are looking for parts. I run an automotive related forum. User post WTB ads and the scammer contacts them via private message and tells them they know someone who...

    XF 2.1 Limit email notifications

    Okay, I'll do that. I find it kinda weird that someone would use my account and ask what sounds like a legitimate question.

    XF 2.1 Limit email notifications

    WTF? I didn't post the above message. I just changed my password but how the hell could someone post with my account?

    XF 2.1 Site down, need advice...

    Fixed. The cpanel PHP setting showed 7.2 but I set to 7.2 again just to do it. It changed to 7.2.23 and the site is back up. Seems like something on the host side that caused it but who knows...

    XF 2.1 Site down, need advice...

    e9coupe.com Site displays a white page or sometimes a page without css. I'm able to get to the first page of the ACP but nothing else. I also have a server error showing I'm running PHP 5.6.40 even though it shows 7.2 in cpanel. I'm lost. Can someone give me some ideas where to start or...

    Automatically transfer all post attachments to Media Gallery

    That pretty much explains it. LOL I have 70-80k image files to deal with. This isn't all that many compared to other sites, but I still figure it could take me up to a year to get them all uploaded. Choosing a destination album is the human interaction requirement but once they're stored...
