General Support / "Gests" using Tor exit routers
« on: February 21, 2022, 08:58:30 am »
Recently I have noticed an increase of "Guests" showing as being on the forum, most of the IP addresses show as Tor exit routers. I am worried that this might be an attempt to hack the database.Is there any way of blocking Tor IP addresses.

General Support / How can I see how much attachment storage space I have
« on: July 26, 2021, 01:47:44 pm »
EDITPlease ignore me I have now found it, everything is correct.

One of my administrators, paid for a 1Gb increase in attachment size.It is probably quite obvious but how can I see in admin what the storage available is now, I have looked everywhere but can only see the individual amount of storage each attachment uses but not how much is left or the total storage.

After 30 days Ads will show on the free forum version. Can I see an example of what these ads look like?
There are occasional adds across the top as a bar, I rarely see any, I am in the UK and they are all USA ones anyway.

General Support / Move a post
« on: February 02, 2019, 11:15:49 am »
I split a topic with no problem but missed a couple of posts that should be in the new topic, I can't find out how to move a single post between topics. I have tried splitting a single post and then merging with the new topic however this does not seem to do anything.
Please can someone tell me how to do it, I am sure it must be easy and something people often do when someone posts in the wrong topic.

Style Support / Change ratings
« on: July 20, 2018, 12:58:36 pm »
I am sorry if I have posted in the wrong place or this has already been answered but I could not find it using search.
Is it possible and if so how can I either add a new rating or change the label on an existing one. The one that people keep asking me for is an "envy" one.

General Support / Re: Information when sites not available.
« on: December 05, 2017, 02:07:29 pm »
Everything, it may just have been from the UK but all the createaforum sites timed out. I did a google search and none of them could be reached. I tried http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/ and it showed everything was OK.

General Support / Information when sites not available.
« on: December 05, 2017, 01:16:50 pm »
All of the createaforum sites have been unavailable this morning (GMT) is there a facebook or twitter feed that gives information. I have received a lot of emails asking me why the forum is down. The only answer I could give was " I have no idea"
They are back now so not as serious as I feared.

Bugs / Inserting links
« on: October 18, 2017, 10:31:47 am »

EDIT
Sorted WYSWYG enabled.


On this forum if I click on the icon to insert a link a box opens with a space to put the link in.
https://vine.createaforum.com/index.php
However on my site if I click the same icon I get (url)(/url) square brackets changed to () so it does not show as link.
This gives a lot of problems for people who do not know what it means and lots of text looks like links in their posts.
There may be a setting I have not found but I am quite new to this and had to set up a forum in a panic when our old one vanished.

Replies are not threaded. One way you can get around that is to use the quote button in each post that will tell you who replied to which members discussion.

I thought that may be the case, it is a shame as it would make it much more useable.

Advertise your forum / Amazon Vine members forum
« on: October 14, 2017, 03:21:53 pm »
Now that Amazon have closed all of the original forums Vine members looked for a new home to chat.
They have gone to many different places but 126 so far have come here. We are almost 100% UK members but are happy for Vine members from anywhere to join us.
There is a general section where anyone can post, even as guests without joining, but to get full access to the boards contained in the forum Vine members are validated to ensure they are actually Vine members.

I am sorry if there is an obvious setting but I am very new to this.

When there is a stream of posters in a thread there seems to be only an option to add a reply to the bottom of the stream so we can't tell who is replying to who.
It would be nice to be able to reply to individual posts and to allow people to see who was replying to who.

Sorry I found that but making changes does not seem to do anything, I must be doing something wrong but I am not sure what.
When I say nothing it seems to change the number of pages listed but no more posts per page.

« on: October 12, 2017, 03:07:55 pm »
It would be nice if the page numbers were larger, I have smallish finders and find the numbers too small to click.
Better still to have an option to lengthen the number of posts on a page as you can do with the members list.

Also

I don't know if I can't find it but can find no way of going to the latest post, latest thread posted on yes but not the actual post.
