Aequitas619 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2007 Im looking for a forum that I can host on my server! I tried Simple Machines Forum but I cant get it to work properly! When a new user wanted to join it asks for a confirmation code, with a graphic but the graphic didn't appear. I tried re-uploading it as well as replacing the graphics files and trying different prefixes.If anyone knows of another site that offers similar options please let me know!Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HellFire121 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2007 I'm pretty sure you can turn off the image verification somewhere in the SMF administrator section. If you still have no luck you might want to try the other free forum software, phpBB. It looks like version 3 is comming out soon which is a good improvement from the other versions, it is also highly modifiable with thousands of mods you can download and install. Their site is: https://www.phpbb.com/ Though if you are using Xisto hosting you shouldn't really have a problem because they have the GD library installed. -HellFire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted January 12, 2007 Have you tried searching their forums and see if their is an answer to your problem? You would get your best response there, although a few members here might be using SMF.I am assuming your using the new version of SMF if not when I installed (pre-installed script) image verification was not activated.

WeaponX 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2007 Aequitas619, we have a section here for SimpleMachines Forum questions or you can even post them in the SimpleMachines Forum itself. They have good support and are pretty fast.For the image verification, you can locate that option by going into Admin->Registration->Settings and you will see Disable the use of the visual verification on registration. Leave it unchecked if you want it to show up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arbitrary 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2007 There are tons of different forums that can be hosted on your own server. You can start with this list...but to get more I'd suggest that you just Google what you want and look around to decide what's best for you. There's lots of discussion on which forums are useful for what, and obviously phpBB is not for everyone. https://www.phpbb.com/-- rather well known, but is known elsewhere as being insecure and difficult to mod https://bbpress.org/ -- made by the creators of wordpressbeehiveforum.sourceforge.net -- has what you wanted regarding the image verification thing http://www.minibb.com/ -- heard that it was optimized for Google, so if search is your thing, then go for it http://punbb.informer.com/ -- your regular forum, seems to be rather well known though http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ -- lots of features, this one.http://monkeyboards.zenco.net/ -- small filesize, just your regular discussion forum http://www.usebb.net/ -- used mostly for medium sized sites http://icebb.net/ -- yet another regular forum https://sourceforge.net/projects/metabb/ -- seems to be created by those at phpBB yabbforum.com/ -- same as above Anyways, if you search Google for something like, "Free internet forums" then you might find yourself getting somewhere. Wikipedia has a nice article putting together all of these free forums into one category. =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
