Hey Everyone, Previously we were using WoltLab, however the software was outdated and the version we were using was no longer supported.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!

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?

Is it possible to have a shout box like before

Still might be a problem with some users logging in

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

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

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)

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

New TeenHut Software

Pultost
Just not my thang 😜

Admin

BlackParadePixie Their private discussion post was deleted and the user was warned for their behaviour.

BlackParadePixie

Admin
Thanks!!

Elara

Will there be like a charter? Rules and such?

And thanks admin for warning the creep who was messaging me, I don’t think they’re for real. Probably not even a girl

Pultost

Elara I’m afraid despotism is the only way.

Elara

[unknown] not everything has the luxury of democracy

OwlBlue

Lock fake profiles. I don’t know if it’s possible to do this on the new forum.

Admin

OwlBlue There is a way to warn/ban people.

Penelope

Is there a way to block people

Admin

Penelope I have installed a “Ignore” Feature ->Now you can hide their posts in discussion and prevent direct messages.

BlackParadePixie Flarum is a different type of forum software. Here there are no pages. It is endless scrolling type of forum.

BlackParadePixie The site keeps throwing errors at times. I am trying to find a fix for this. One of the fix has been implemented. Do let me know if the error persists and I will try some other fix.

BlackParadePixie

How about implementing pages? Like 20 posts per page? And certain number of topics per page??

BlackParadePixie

I’m seeing alot of double…even triple posts by some people all of the sudden.

Caycedilla

BlackParadePixie they are probably reposting after getting an error message. They just need to X out the box (on mobile) and refresh the page and their post will be there

Sapio

Caycedilla I discovered this after a couple multiple posts.

Pultost

Caycedilla I get those error messages all the time. Refreshing the page is so much fun! 😁

BJade

Pultost

Yeah me to. And think it’s why there’s also quite a few post replies to “unknown”

Pultost

BJade Yeah, many forget to edit the post when they reply to someone and get that error. 🙂

As I just had to do. Again. 😛

Sapio

Admin The error messages keep coming up, but the workaround isn’t that difficult. Just refresh the page and it posts, sometimes with the addressee and sometimes showing ‘unknown’ for addressee. That can be easily fixed with an ‘edit,’ which I only recently discovered.

Is there a time limit during which we can edit?

Sapio

Admin TeenHut does not have any revenue generation source, nor do we get any donations

Would you be open to a means of taking donations to help run the site?

Admin

Sapio Yes if that is possible.

Sapio

Admin I’m sure there are better, but more complicated means but one way is for people to buy gift cards and send you the code on them (along the lines of how people scam old folks). I’m not sure how that turns into cash, but I could look into it, if you’d like. You are outside the USA, correct?
