Qt.io webservices

The forum login is controlled via a qt.io account. I'm guessing that that is where the change needs to be made, rather than in the forum profile.

Click the profile icon at the top of https://www.qt.io between the search magnifying glass and language selection globe.

I haven't verified that this actually works.

They still send you this trash after you unsubscribe. Had to fully block qt in my mail client.

They are very stupid for not using a mail provider for that spam. Now their URL is being flagged by all of us.

Spreed should be back now.

@Perdrix Confirmed, it has worked :-)

@Pedro said in Forum/NodeBB bot to welcome new users + security features (Anti spam etc):

This is a great suggestion, and I have been thinking about something along these lines as well. I will bring this up at my next meeting already and see how feasible it is considering the team's overall tasks. Feel free to contact me in private about this. :)

Great :)
I saw this elsewhere and liked it, because the bot also included some kind of optional tutorial on how to use the forum and post correctly (how to create links and to use code tags properly) in addition to 2-3 mandatory actions which are needed to verify that you are not a bot yourself :D

And I believe @SGaist already answered your other question.

Regarding the spam/anti-bot prevention I thought more of the AKISMET false-positive message which currently prevents many users from posting code snippets.
Feels like there must have been a change in the settings lately.

@SGaist, thanks. I've filed QTWEBSITE-1224.

@RokeJulianLockhart, I've filed QTWEBSITE-1223, per post/820508.

The limit appears to have been removed, for I appear to be able to edit that post. Brilliant!

Hi,

This is something you should ask to the Qt Company directly.

@JonB said in Frequent unresponsiveness of this site:

heroku

Oh well, I remember that one! About two or three weeks ago I had trouble opening the webpage at all on two different days. It just wouldn't load. I used different websites to check if it was just down for me and the majority of those pages claimed that the Qt forum was up an running. Pinging forum.qt.io would would send a response from heroku. Didn't have any problems recently (no slow downs, no unresponsive/unreachable webpage).

It seems that it's a temporary down. Problem solved.

It’s online and working from Oslo.

For info: download.qt.io has been intermittently down for me for the past few days, breaking CI builds relying on aqtinstall.

Error messages are:

The Design Viewer is back online!

You might notice that the application is running faster now. We've moved user data to Qt AWS EU and migrated our cloud services to Heroku PaaS, enhancing performance. If you encounter any issues, please let us know!

Our upcoming plan includes updating the look and feel of our web application and adding more interactive tools. Stay tuned!

Hm, that's an idea. Maybe rename it to "Qt Next", "Future Qt", something like that?
