Announcements / File Manager and Contact Page Added
« on: September 22, 2018, 02:58:58 pm »
We have added a file manager in the Admin Area.  This file manager allows you to upload images, css, js files to your forum.
You can use these files to help customize your forum. Such as when customizing images for your site if you do not have a file host.

This feature can be found under Admin -> Style Manager -> File Manager


We have also added a Contact page section as a new feature. You can enable this under Admin -> Features and Options -> General
Then check and “Enable Contact Page”. Then a new menu item will appear. By default we use the webmaster email address as the contact address. Otherwise it will use the contact email address that you added.

Announcements / SSL for Hosted Forums Option
« on: December 06, 2017, 10:55:42 pm »
SMF For Free has just rolled out the option for forum owners the option to turn on SSL for their forums.

This applies for the following domains if your forum is on smfforfree.com smfforfree2.com smfforfree3.com smfforfree4.com freesmfhosting.com smfserver.com   this SSL feature will work.
If you are a custom domain user we can setup SSL on your forum for you for a fee of $50 1 year $65 for 2 years or $75 for three years.


Notes: If you have external scripts or css images make sure they are sourced as https instead of http  we proxy images posted in posts or avatars.  If you are using a custom style please resave the server to update our internal urls to https first.


Now if you ready to switch over or test SSL you can do in the following area in your forum:
Admin -> Forum Settings
Then check "Forum Use SSL" and save.


Enjoy,

General Discussion / Add SSL to forums?
« on: November 27, 2017, 10:55:43 am »
I have ssl enabled for the support forum and I added it to createaforum.com

I could do it for forums here. Optionally. The issue is if you have  customs styles/scripts you must make sure all the content is https as well otherwise it will not load.

Announcements / SMF For Free - Thank you For your Support
« on: January 24, 2016, 07:00:45 pm »
Thank you for your support during this time.  Never had this occur in the 10 years plus I have been doing forum hosting. I am upset for this down time to occur and loss of data for some forums.  I have been working hard coming up with good long term solution to prevent this from happening again.

We will be moving and getting our own server hardware to host the forums. Here is a list of items that I have ordered so far http://createaforum.com/expensesformovesofar.csv

How you can help. Any upgrades or subscriptions that you order for will help pay for this change.

Or have an option to fund via paypal https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=QM5234ZW9T5BN

We hope to continuing growing and allowing others to make new forums. As this was my first big project I want to see it go forward stronger than ever.
