    Is free forum software dying?

    And for Discourse.. I seem to have found the issue with trying to add plugins in and them failing. It all falls back to their text based setup that they use, which is VERY sensitive to new lines or spaces.

    Is the dot forum a flop?

    As more and more people start using search engines to go to a site, the TLD is not as important. Heck, in some ways even the main domain being "short" is not as important as it once was since very few type in the domain names any longer. One of the problems is uptake of the newer TLDs. They...

    Is the dot forum a flop?

    It will happen. Folks (for good or bad) try to get other TLD's that emulate a popular one. How many of us older people have gone to whitehouse.com when trying to get to the official WhiteHouse site back in the day? Now it's just more spammers that use them for email delivery than web traffic so...

    Is the dot forum a flop?

    The .COM/.ORG/.NET will probably be the "standby" for years yet, as will the country associated domains. You still have people that chase those 2-5 letter TLD's in those vanity domains still, not realizing that they might get mistaken for the big names.. but generally not. As for the vanity...

    WordPress to fire 16% of its employees

    It probably had some to do with it... but a lot of that may be due to the economy. I know a few folks that were running their sites on some offerings and they are getting where they can no longer afford to do so as beans & rice are more important to them than running a web site. If I had a...

    Depends on if you expand the area. By default vs expanded Style edits can be so much fun. ;)

    XenForo Contact page spam

    I believe that there is an option to allow captchas. If you are using captcha, then it should be enabled on the contact us page. Some of the old ones required the contact us page to not be in an overlay. I use Turnstile and get no contact spam even though I frequently see people attempting...

    Which hosting company you don't trust?

    Transfer over for the registrar to CloudFlare. I think the last 3 I registered (within the last month) was around $11.

    Do any of you not care about mobile users?

    Good luck. If it isn't a major issue to the sycophant developers.. especially when it comes to Xenforo 1st party add-ons.. issues with them them are ignored for years by those self-same Xenforo developers , with them not giving much attention to their license holders - who pays their bills -...

    Not many users.. but actually some very interesting discussions going on. If you are into the "why" behind what people doe, I encourage you to join our discussions. No, we aren't going to allow the typical flame wars and vacuous defenses of a position. If you have the fortitude to gird up to...

    Do you drink beer?

    Only beer I have found that I like to actually drink (I do more cooking with it) is Shiner Bock Blonde. Otherwise.. give me a nice pour of a 100+ proof bourbon.

    Which hosting company you don't trust?

    ☝️ Winner post. EIG is (and has been) a provider you just don't walk away from... you run. Sadly.. they sucked up a few decent hosting providers... and drug them to the sub-levels where things go to die.

    Telling people to search for the answer

    Yeah... this is my first real rodeo with Discourse. I'm finding issues that I am not happy with (like many plugins that will not allow the current version to rebuild)... but overall in some ways I like it better than NodeBB.... other than being an even bigger pain in the ass to run multiple...

    Telling people to search for the answer

    Turns out that is done by the advanced search banner component. It looks like you do have to manually turn it on.

    Telling people to search for the answer

    Touching base back on this. I found it interesting how Discourse took action to attempt to address this on their default installs.

    Is free forum software dying?

    One big issue I have found with Discourse... it is a REAL pain in the ass if you want to run multiple instances of it (for different sites) on one VPS when compared to NodeBB. In some ways I do like Discourse better.. but they have a LONG way to go to make it friendly to anything other than...

    Do any of you not care about mobile users?

    Want an example of how BS some of these "tests" can be? On my Edge & Steel site, PageInsights gives me a 100. GTMetrix gives me a 66. Using Pingdom and an Australia based test, I got a 97 on the same site.

    Have you ever used Country Block feature of your hosting service?

    I don't do country blocking at all because you can get valid users from those areas. Known malicious IP's will get blocked. Generally what I do is control by ASN when it is a server farm but still use managed challenge via CloudFlare. As mentioned also, I do block a lot of email domains from...
