Hey Everyone, Previously we were using WoltLab, however the software was outdated and the version we were using was no longer supported. As you all know that TeenHut does not have any revenue generation source, nor do we get any donations to run the site. So we could not afford to upgrade to the latest paid softwares. Hence we are relying on a open source forum software called Flarum. It looks good and interesting and it is free! We all should give it a try! Do let me know if you have any suggestions for our new forum!

New TeenHut Software

Personally, what I liked about teenhut was the construction of the forum. I understand that you’re looking for a free site. After that it’s my personal taste but I don’t like the way the site is built. I’d like it to look like a forum. There’s forumotion which could be good and free and here: https://mybb.com/. It’s free too from what I’ve seen. I’d like to recapture the spirit of teenhut in the look of the graphics too. I’ll try to look for other free sites later, I can’t right now. I forgot to add that you can’t be notified by email.

We are exploring the software. Perhaps there is a way to make it look like a traditional forum. I’ll look at it tomorrow.

You’ve done well. It’s a shame there were all those problems with the server. I liked the way it was built too. I don’t know if it’s possible, but it would be nice to insert a banner with the site’s name on the home page. I’m having problems with the site on chrome and firefox. It only works on microsoft edge. I mainly use chrome and I don’t know why it doesn’t work with both browsers.

Edit: It does work with firefox.🙂

If you want to add categories/forums like on teenhut, look here. I guess it’s a lot of work: https://web.archive.org/web/20230701022347/https://www.teenhut.net/.well-known/trust.txt

Is it also possible to mark users as friends with the new software?

Penelope

Is it possible to have a shout box like before

BJade

Still might be a problem with some users logging in

Penelope

Yes I’ve had that happen had to change to a different browser

Admin

BJade Login from https://teenhut.net and not from https://www.teenhut.net. Let me find a fix for this.

I had the same problem with chrome

I don’t really mind that we have a new site layout and everything, but the fact everyone has to re register is unfortunate

I admit I liked the old layout.

It’s acting really weird for me. I’m almost exclusively online with my phone (Safari and Chrome), and I am often getting the error Jade posted above. Even after clearing my history and cookies, and then resetting my phone to default settings. I was able to register last night and then after a few posts was kicked off and have mostly been getting that error.

Nothing has changed on my end and I’m able to post now though? (Don’t know how long that will last)

Admin

This issue has been fixed. The website has been set up as https://teenhut.net however https://www.teenhut.net was still functioning giving confusion to the server. Now the www is redirecting to non www which resolves the above issue.

Caycedilla

Admin Thank you! 🙂

Admin

OwlBlue It has been fixed now.

UGH how does one get an image to post? (Not just the link) ??

The code is confusing…

OwlBlue

BlackParadePixie

You copy the link of image, then you past it in your post and it shows it in preview.

Admin

BlackParadePixie It’s easy. Just click on image and code comes automatically. Put the url in ( ) where http is mentioned.

Caycedilla

yeah testing pics here, sorry

If you’re using the mobile version, you might need to scroll across to find the image (and some other) icons, or turn your phone landscape
