Cheers Jim. I'll give that a whirl

Because I'm getting an error which states - No ads.txt file was found when the site was last crawled.

Marc, is it just a case of popping the Ads.text in the advertisement section? And nothing else?

I've done it, but now my 'earnings' today are $0.00. I use adsense.

Maybe that's it. I've got a client ID etc in the advertisement section but it looks different to the ads text blurb I used to have in 'pages'. SO I'm guessing that's where its falling down? Sorry for the layman post! Would I just stick the adstxt in the HTML code box now then?

I'm guessing it's an Adsense anomoly, but since moving to IC5, I've had the Ads.txt was not found error Now, I've not changed anything, but all of a sudden in recent weeks, it's kept cropping up... Has anything changed with this process? So I can ensure the site continues to pick up revenue? I know obviously the rates can change of course.

Yeah, I've seen that but the options are only When opening content... Take me to comments I haven't read Take me to the beginning Take me to the latest comment

Layout of forum page..... In IC4... Users had the option to choose either list/grid/another so the forum showed more or less of the top depending on your preference.. Is there an option within the forums on IC5 for users to do that?

I've got an articles page, but I can't seem to be able to write on it other than basic text.... As I believe I have to setup a database but don't seem to be able to do so... I'm only on the creator package, not creator pro.. Is that why? If not, can someone show me what I should do? Sorry, for the luddite question!!!

Just had this back from the poster who was struggling.... II is my VPN that’s the issue. Whoever hosts the site uses Cloudflare for site protection, they in turn use an IP checker and suss out that a VPN is being used and use blocks to prevent potential harmful posting. I think the members do most of that All I did was change location and Cloudflare/ IP checker didn’t spot the new location as a VPN. It’s a cat and mouse game that VPN providers and site security play. Rotating IPs are the answer, but they can slow down the connection. I just need to change locations every now and the so that the identified VPN IP addresses are refreshed regularly.

Ive just upgraded this evening, to V5 and I love the look, I've had a tweak of things and will do over the coming days... However, one of my posters has said that he can't see the 'reply to this topic' box at the bottom of the threads as he says it's isn't showing? I'm waiting to see if others have had the same issue, but is there an option/checkbox in the backend I'm missing?

I've managed to sort it.. But there's something I'm missing. So I'm wanting to add this custom block I've created, into a specific forum page. Rather than it going across my whole site, how do I go about that?

That's correct Mark.

I'm looking at bringing in something onto my site created by someone else, and they're asking for the 'software platform' the site is built upon so that they can send over the right widget that would work.. Now, I'm currently on V4, but looking to update to V5 in the coming weeks. I Could anyone advise?

I'll come and swing by mate!

Thanks pal. We've slowed down quite a bit recently with the footy season ending! But not massive anyway, so it's quite a nice little community :)

So, to an absolute layman. I'm considering upgrading to V5 from V4. Should I hit the upgrade, am I looking at starting afresh with the design etc... Or does my current layout of forums etc 'transfer over' etc.... I don't want a load of downtime on the site having to mess about with figuring out how things work!!!

Can a member clear their storage on our site?.. ? Or can admins do anything about it? They're trying to add something but can't because their storage on the site is full

Yeah, nothing strange going on

Hey there all. I've been getting messages from some of my site users suggesting their posts are being removed, now, I've checked with fellow admin/mods and they're not removing the posts... The posters aren't editing their posts/removing them... Any idea what it could be?

No VPN being used at all, I've asked him for his IP so I'll go from there

Right.. Thanks mate. I doubt it as he's a technophobe to say the least!!!!

Right, I've heard back from him. The cloudflare verification is just 'hanging' for him.... It doesn't go beyond this

One of my site users has messaged me earlier saying that he cannot access the site, because he can't get past cloudflare and access the site on his mobile, he's trying to connect to the site via wireless and mobile networks.. I've asked him to send me a screenshot, but thought I'd ask if anyone else has experienced this while i wait for him to figure out what he's doing :) (He's on holiday in Greece from the UK, not sure if that would make a difference)
