Re: [evaluation] A couple of questions - 16 years ago
Hi, Let me see if I can answer your questions: 1. Yes, Phorum is actively developed and was the first PHP forum in existence. The developers use the forum code on their own projects, they "Eat their own dog food" as they say. 2. You saw the BBCode toolbar when you were entering your post, didn't you? 3. The templating in Phorum is very flexible, along with the flexibility iby Bert Garcia - Phorum Support
Re: Convert from PunBB to Phorum - 16 years ago
QuoteBrian MoonIt's in trunk (aka 5.3). No idea if it would work with 5.2. It can import the XML dump that Thomas had created from a phpBB install he had access to. I am not sure the XML specification is documented. That would need to happen next. Hi Brian, It's been a while since I visited this thread, but I'm still interested in moving forward on a conversion.

QuoteDiegoi think a good gallery or even a showcase of known Phorum sites (well known users which have custom designs - not available for download) would boost the visitors, interest and Phorum community, don´t you think. I agree, it's just the approach we take that we need to determine. I volunteered to work on the links page, I cleaned it up a bit and added new forums. The new trac wiby Bert Garcia - v5/v6 Templates
Re: Is there a way to re-send confirmation emails? - 17 years ago
I believe spam bots are Asexual. Because they can't seem to get it up, are always looking for new enhancing drugs and ways to increase their members. They write in caps: REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, clueing us to the fact they were ignored by their mothers and seek attention.by Bert Garcia - Phorum Support
Re: Is there a way to re-send confirmation emails? - 17 years ago
QuoteBert GarciaOn this particular forum, I hadn't enabled the Spam hurdles, since it was a relatively new forum. As a follow up, I enabled Spam hurdles a week ago, with the option to show a captcha for new registrations. Since then, no bots have registered, no more cleaning up the user roles, no more banning domains. Should of enabled Spam hurdles from the start but I wanted to see howby Bert Garcia - Phorum Support

Re: Is there a way to re-send confirmation emails? - 17 years ago
QuotesphelanIt's funny, though ... If the bots are smart enough to get past the CAPTCHA on the registration screen, I'm surprised they can't get past the e-mail "click-to-verify" barrier. On this particular forum, I hadn't enabled the Spam hurdles, since it was a relatively new forum. But seeing how the bots found us so quickly, I think I'll enable the hurdlesby Bert Garcia - Phorum Support
Re: Is there a way to re-send confirmation emails? - 17 years ago
QuoteMaurice MakaayOn my own site, I run my own user system. In that system, I run daily checks via cron. I check for old registrations. For those, I resend the registration once after one week, using a mail that tells the user that after the next week, the account will be deleted. And accounts that are two weeks old without registration are thus deleted from the database. This prevents sending tby Bert Garcia - Phorum Support

Reload Firefox hangs this forum - 17 years ago
I can't quite put my finger on it but this is what I experience. I come into these forums via the Recent Messages mod. As I view messages, there comes a time when I have to hit reload in Firefox to see what messages I have left to read. This is when the browser hangs, most often just showing the header and it sits and waits for the messages to paint. I thought it was this mod but thisby Bert Garcia - Phorum Support

Re: Nominate Phorum for an award! - 17 years ago
QuotebillybobjethroYou should migrate to Drupal immediately. It does all textpattern does, and more. I have the highest regard for Drupal, and I would use it if the site required community based software. With Textpattern, I have enough power to drive my sites and I'm very happy with it's speed. On the integration angle, what exactly would you like to accomplish? User signup andby Bert Garcia - Phorum Support
Re: Nominate Phorum for an award! - 17 years ago
QuotebillybobjethroSo if you really want traction, focus on integration, and watch the new sign ups roll in. While I agree, the problem stems from the fact that you want to integrate with Drupal and I want to integrate with Textpattern. Where does that leave us then?by Bert Garcia - Phorum Support

QuoteThomas Seifert...even though not all of them are still using phorum. I went through them all, the vast majority are running Phorum, but for some: a) The forum is in maintenance mode. b) The site is no longer available. c) The site shows a registrar holding page. d) The site is running another forum software. e) The site has errors that cause the forum not to display or to display baby Bert Garcia - Phorum Support

Trying to understand the caching a bit more. On a new 5.2.8 forum, I have enabled the APC cache layer. Right above it, I have not enabled any data to cache. Yet, if I look at the APC INFO screen, there appears cached items that are duplicated in the ./cache directory.

Re: Convert from PunBB to Phorum - 18 years ago
QuoteMaurice MakaayI think that one important thing to take care of would be documentation about the system, which describes what the XML should look like and how to handle an import.
