Hi, burlybear.

I wasn't even personally aware that Tapatalk had a block feature. As far as I'm aware they haven't notified us of any changes in their app that require an update to include this feature (though I'm not their main point of contact for our company).

I did some digging and the API feature they use to do it doesn't appear to be included on our end, suggesting we'd have to add it in at some point.

Hi, Sammiie.

In Themes > Layout Templates > Board > Board List the {if !$[board.is_redirect]} block is a little messed up. You have the {else} within it occurring before this element and its children have closed:

What's happening as a result is the sub-board container never closes before your closing tags never render on the page (since it thinks they should only render if the board is a redirect according to your if statement), so the thread list container ends up as its child and inherits its nowrap CSS. The problem isn't visible without the descriptions because they're the only thing that exceeds the default width of the Subject column.

Hi,

Account activation ensures that the user registering the account has access to the email address they're registering with. This involves going into your email inbox to find the activation email and clicking a single link to activate the account which is ultimately a trivial task. It only ever has to be done a single time for any email address you use on ProBoards. Any subsequent forum accounts you create under an activate email address on any ProBoards forum do not require an activation key.

A multitude of sites online with widespread popularity still utilize this feature. We will continue doing the same for at least the remainder of the lifespan of this iteration of the forum software.

I'm not sure what this solution is meant to involve. There's no way to identify that a random visitor to a site is attempting to register with an email address that belongs to someone else.

Thanks!

It looks like VigLink is malforming those links by truncating them with ellipsis. I'll email them and let them know the details. They usually are able to fix this pretty easily based on my past experience emailing them with other malformed links.

The appearance of that page is determined entirely by the Guests Must Login feature in Settings > Forum Settings > Login & Registration. If it's on, you'll see the page in your screenshot. If it's off, you won't.

becca2000: We've contacted the ad provider that serves the ad in question and requested that the network it originates from be disabled. This should hopefully stop the trend of new redirects appearing from that particular source.

This will require action on the part of the ad provider so there may be a delay before the ad ceases appearing.

A global ID ban prevents them from registering with the same global account.

An IP ban prevents them from registering from the same IP address.
