If the images posted on your forum are ephemeral and old topics don't get regular posts, then it doesn't matter too much. In my case images are important to the forum content and some topics have been going for 18 years, so it's vital to host the attachments yourself or you get topics full of...

Easiest and best option - two domain names (test.myname.com, www.myname.com) and two NGINX configs, one for each domain, each pointing to different folders on the server. No need for multiple forum folders off a single domain.

Follow the instructions here - https://kb.porkbun.com/article/54-pointing-your-domain-to-hosting-with-a-records It looks like you need to delete default ALIAS and CNAME records pointing to something like pixie-parking.porkbun.com as well as creating the new records.

It doesn't seem you can use this method for time-based promotion shorter than 1 day however.

Set permissions for moderated posts to the group that new users start in by default (e.g. on Registered group set "Submit content without approval" to No) Then create a new post-based User group promotion e.g. Verified with promotion applies while - tick User has posted at least X messages and...

Insufficient disk space to complete the upload is the most obvious cause. Do you have a disk size limit?

Glad I could help.

You need to create BOTH the records shown, in your DNS control panel. You have the root domain @ record correct but are missing a CNAME for www pointing to the root domain. Add a new record "www" of type "CNAME" with value of buffalosportsvoice.com. This will set up a DNS 'forwarding' so...

At this stage Elasticsearch 8 isn't officially supported, but you can get it to work with some tweaks to disable new security features of ES8.. I'm using ES7 instead. Add Elastic's GPG key to keyring to trust their packages. curl -fsSL https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo...

That's not quite correct, it's a little simpler than this. Might be able to post something later - I have ES on Ubuntu with Xenforo.

Cheers! Don't think that was like that in 2019, must have changed since.

End of 2005 for my forum (SMF, then Xenforo). The forum I manage for a friend is from 2002 (IPB, SMF). Both strong communities. First forum I ever set up was for the ITV (UK) TV show "The Web Review" which I think was running on UBB, on a colocated Linux server in about 2001.

No that's generally a good thing. You generally want all your shards to be active and status green. The common cause of this to be yellow is you have a single node Elasticsearch cluster but Elasticsearch is configured to make replicas. In a cluster each shard is active on one node in a cluster...

I got the initial six and nothing more - possibly as none of the posts actually went live (waiting approval).

All my spam came from a single Moldovan IP address (109.107.166.230) so it was fairly easy to find affected users. I set a custom ban message informing the user their credentials were compromised and to contact me for assistance recovering their account. Only 6 so far and 1 on another forum I...
