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

Re: Unable to attach txt file to forum post

Are you using Cloudflare? If so check the firewall logs in CF panel.

It can also be mod_security issue.

I am using Cloud hosting. I think it is fast.
A fast server helps for standard download but it's not the same as streaming server. For it to work instantly the server needs to respond to that click and begin steaming at the point the user clicked.

Re: Fast forwarding videos

To fast forward a video instantly requires a streaming service on your server. Otherwise it's a standard download like any other file and the player can only fast forward to the point you have downloaded.

You need to contact your host and ask them what is the cause of the error.

AI blurs the lines of traditional programming. It's not programmed to play Chess, it's programmed to learn how to play chess.

Re: IP address in email headers

Right now a good hacker could look at the email headers and thus the IP address and deduce down what my real host IP address is from the CIDR. If they know the host they can run a bot across your hosts range to every IP making requests for yoursite.com/unique_file.jpg, Eventually they will find it....

While it adds a layer of security the primary purpose of hiding the IP is for Cloudlfare's DDOS protection. If the person attacking your site can determine the origin then they can simply go around it with local DNS.

It's under permissions tab >> Group permissions link under the Global Permissions heading. There is going to be a role assigned to each group, edit the role for each group so it's "no" You can also just set the registered user group's role to never but I believe that would prevent yourself...
