    Crazy amount of guests

    Cloudflare helps a lot, but you have to put many hours of work into the config. I downloaded crawler IP json files from about 10 legitimate good crawlers and made a Cloudflare list from those IPs. Then I made a security rule that says: ( not ip.src in $known_good_crawler_ip_addresses...

    VerticalScope Inc Headed toward Bankruptcy?

    Same, we have a fabulous set of moderators. Every one hand picked after years of membership that demonstrated their personality and style. We never accept someone who asks to be a moderator, the answer is immediately, "sorry we are not looking for more moderators now." We also have a monthly...

    VerticalScope Inc Headed toward Bankruptcy?

    What!? I must be doing something wrong. I average about 5 hours/day 365 days/yr. There hasn't been a day I haven't been on my forum in at least a decade.

    12 Years of Forums. What have you learned?

    I've been involved with the administration of our forums for almost 25 years, nearly from the beginning. We have a no RSP rule, which goes a long way to keeping the forums clean. Also, there is zero room for emotions when moderating. Man that's hard some times, but it's absolutely necessary.

    XF 2.1 how to hide the Attach files button on Post thread page but retain its function (which is also used by Drop image)?

    Oops - this hides the "Upload File" button in Media, which we don't want. How do we only hide the "Attach Files" button in a new post?

    Solution to stop Cloudflare 520 errors

    When we turned off Cloudflare "Speed=>Optimization=>HTTP/2 to Origin", the 520 errors completely went away and we haven't seen a single 520 since.

    Suddenly tons of CF 520 errors

    Same experience on our side. I did speak to a support tech at CF and that person believed me when I told them they have a bug in their http2 implementation, but the development team at CF completely ignored our findings.

    Suddenly tons of CF 520 errors

    We had similar random Cloudflare 520 errors that Ken from Driven and I probably put 100 hours into solving. We tried about a dozen optimizations with no change in the frequency of the 520s. When we turned off Cloudflare "Speed=>Optimization=>HTTP/2 to Origin", the 520 errors completely went...
