I have seen that message, but only a couple of times in total so far, so I took it for nothing more than typical downtimes.

I remember, this was the error I was getting once, for the whole day here on Forum. Haven't seen it in a while. Maybe it's specifically your account related?

Pixeldrain's policy update:

Sometime this summer pixeldrain will start requiring you to be logged in to an account in order to upload new files. This is necessary due to the large amount of regional blockings that have been implemented against pixeldrain recently.

None of the countries that have blocked pixeldrain have specified a valid reason, nor have I been able to contact them to ask what's going on. But I can only guess that it has someting to do with abusive content being uploaded. Pixeldrain currently uses an IP address banning system for restricting uploads from users who have violated the content policy, but at the scale the site operates at now that has proven to not be effective anymore. For that reason pixeldrain will be switching to an account ban system.

The account ban system will restrict file uploads to your account for a certain amount of time which depends on the type of the offence. Serious violations might get your account banned for up to a year, minor violations maybe a day or a week per file. It will depend on the amount of abuse that slips through. Once the account ban system is activated the IP ban system will be disabled.

Account banning is only effective if there is some system in place to prevent the automated creation of accounts. There is already a CAPTCHA in place on the registration page. I might start requiring e-mail addresses for new accounts as well. The lack of an e-mail address requirement has caused many issues with lost accounts as well, so it had to happen anyway. I will also be looking into integrating with OAuth providers (Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Patreon, etc) to make the login flow simpler for newcomers.

After the site has been cleaned up it might take a long time before all the regional blocking issues are resolved. Because of that I will be adding alternative domain names for premium subscribers to use. Most of the blocks are only on DNS level, which means they can be circumvented by using a different domain name.

I found on the xenforo forum: if You View Page Source on that error page, it could show complete error message.

Since email notifications for watched threads don't currently work, I'd like to suggest desktop (browser) notifications. I think it would be very useful.

 

[traka]

dont want to sound like a dick, but we need a system that filters the users who only leech and dont upload. i see alot of users with plenty of requests but not a single fill. even reuploading a dead post would help the forum

 

[Scnlog]

Emails should be working now.

Also you can now have this forum installed on your android phone as an app. Just visit the forum on Chrome, press the 3 dots in the top bar and choose Add to Home screen > Install. You can also do it on Firefox but I think Chrome works better.

Push notifications have also been enabled, you need to enable them yourselves in your Preferences.

many people don't change the tag to filled after their request is filled , my suggestions :
let moderators here check the downloads and mark as filled manually
or mark the request as filled after X days of someone filling it AND warn requesters/restrict their posting rights when they don't mark their requests as filled

We already do that.
But we give people enough time to mark it filled so this forum is not considered a 2nd job that you need to attend to every day.
If anything from 10+ days is still marked UNFILLED, just report it and we will look into it.
Users sometimes do not return for extended periods.

Don't want to be throwing warnings around like Oprah hands out gifts or we'd have no members left by the end of the year.

I am curious about why Search button have been cancelled. It doesn't work. Is there any specific reason for? Or, is there any alternative way to use it?
