Re: Can I add a link to the Quick links list?

For a custom style the best place to ask is in the styles discussion area.

Copying and pasting code from Prosilver into a another style may or may not work.

Re: My board reload too fast

The only refresh included with phpBB is on the who's online list so your issue is related to something else. I noticed you have right click "disabled" because I wanted to look at the source. In any event it bounced me to the login page after clicking OK. I'd remove that first. It's largely...

Re: Ban all gmail "multiple dot" users

imo this isn't the correct approach. you may not know anybody but my forum has many genuine users with multiple dots, we have 30,000+ plus members. For Gmail it's specific case, they don't count the periods as part of the email address so a spammer can reuse the same email address multiple times wi...

Re: [split from] Images rotated on there sides when uploaded ?

There is a fix here which I have used with success. It's not been implemented because it modifies the plupload JS file.

Re: Google search is not picking up correct URL

Click the magnify glass icon in highlighted link. It will tell you where it's being redirected from. For the index.php?p=123456 it's probably olddomain.com/viewtopic.php?p=123456 The redirect is likely from .htaccess file on the old domain, when you move content to a new domain or different director...

Re: Google search is not picking up correct URL

If you hover over a URL there is a magnifying glass that will give you information. What is the referring page for one of the index.php?t=123456 URL's?

Taking a wild guess there is redirect on the old domain and it's not formed properly.

Re: Is a backup completely sufficient?

Why keeping software installation packets which might be outdated in the future? Not because you want to go live with that, but because you want your website to get run at least (which can also happen without access to the internet) to then be able to migrate it to up-to-date software. XAMPP has mu...

Re: Is a backup completely sufficient?

I use filesync to make an auto backup everynight https://freefilesync.org/ You can use WinSCP to do this but you need to create a script and have Windows task scheduler fire it off. One thing to be aware of is a synced file system is not really a true backup because there is no revision of files.e....

Re: MySQL database transfer to MariaDB and vice versa

MariaDB is a fork of MySQL so it should work without any issues for any web application, there has been no issues I'm aware of with phpBB. Vice versa if you go back to MySQL should be no issue.

Re: Edit: Contact Us

The file you would need to edit is : /styles/prosilver/template/memberlist_email.html

In case you are unaware purge the cache after editing templates.

Re: How can I stop the ACP kicking me out every few seconds?

You are using Cloudflare, make sure you are restoring the original IP.

https://developers.cloudflare.com/suppo ... sitor-ips/

If you can't do that there is a phpBB extension for this.

Re: Search Facility

You also need to allocate RAM to it and be able to edit the .conf file, the larger the DB the more RAM it needs. Basically you need a VPS or better.

Re: Ban all gmail "multiple dot" users

There is no way to do this with phpBB, you'd need a extension or some custom code.

For custom code search for the function function validate_user_email in /includes/functions_user.php

Go to advanced search
