SMF 2.1.x Support / How to increase the maximum he...

Last post by MegaBrutal - Yesterday at 08:15:00 PM

When I try to resize the text area when writing posts, I notice that its height is capped to an inconveniently small size, which is fine for small posts, but cumbersome for larger texts.

How can I increase the maximum height of the post edit area?

Bug Reports / Unicode double quotation marks...

Last post by MegaBrutal - Yesterday at 07:45:00 PM

Not sure if this is a bug per se, or a feature I could disable, but I recently upgraded my forum to SMF 2.1.4, and noticed that the Unicode double quotation marks I post get replaced with other, similarly looking characters.

Specifically, U+201E DOUBLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK gets replaced with the character sequence: ,, (2 ASCII comma characters, U+002C). And U+201D RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK gets replaced with " (ASCII quotation mark, U+0022).

I'd prefer to preserve the original characters, not make arbitrary character replacements, as these replacements look ugly, I also don't know what other characters might get replaced by surprise.

Bug Reports / Liking resets screen reader's ...

Last post by MegaBrutal - Yesterday at 07:15:15 PM

Our vision impaired member reported that when he clicks on ,,Like" under a post on SMF 2.1.4, his screen reader's focus jumps back to the top of the page. I'm not sure what's the cause, probably the JavaScript that handles the like drops the focus. Honestly I have no experience with screen readers, I just hope some of you have, also if I find the cause I will share it.

What image am i supposed to save ...

You can use one of the supplied images or you can use one of your own [you should save the image you want to use to the forum default theme images folder (eg, ./Themes/default/images)].

... and if is display what is its function?

You enter the path to the custom image immediately below the 'Number of verification questions user must answer' field and then you create verification questions specifically related to the custom image.  Example:
You cannot view this attachment.

The custom image will be displayed above the questions everywhere verification is required (eg, registration, guest searches, guest posting, guest reporting posts, etc).
You cannot view this attachment.

Here's a custom image with some of the verification questions I use on one of my forums:
You cannot view this attachment.

I've installed current version of the mod on a 2.0.19 forum.  We're giving guests permission to use the form, but verification doesn't work correctly.  It's only presented on first page load, reloading form displays it without verification.  Any way to fix that?

I installed this mod but I can't get it to work. The cause, in my opinion, could be that it is not compatible with php 8+ and 7.3
Is it possible?
I think that just by pressing the Save Settings button, these errors appear:
php 7.3

SMF in general is pretty light weight, and 20 users or so shouldn't really require too much in terms of hardware.

You probably want to have enough memory for your database to work efficiently, enough kick under the hood to serve the PHP and all static content for your users, and enough bandwidth to be able to actually deliver all the content to your users - But I have no specific numbers to give.

That said, we usually don't recommend self hosting, it's often safer and easier to just get a cheap host.
