Seems like it might be a bug in NodeBB v3 which we are running now, not much we can do about that except to keep up with updates (which we do).

@jimp Restarted the browser to clear cache...still the same; however, there seems to be a green box next to the upload button that seems to appear while one is typing then disappears...looks like an auto-save. I am using Firefox.

Never mind @jimp, I found what wasn't a problem...more symbols were added making one has to toggle to the right to see the upload button and what I had been clicking on is the Grouped Code.

@flo-0 not sure why not coming up with at symbol.. but its there

Hasn't been on since created it seems, maybe that is why doesn't show up with the at symbol trick?

@sublunar You should be set now... at least with the up-votes

I can't even 'login' over there.

and who is chrome ?

edit : ok, my last question was somewhat stupid.

You probably see a message from your browser, telling you the connection isn't secured.
Don't worry, you are connected to 'pfSense', that's the web server, just 'one cable' away, and not somewhere on the Internet.
The connection is of course very secured. It's just that chrome doesn't know who signed the certificate use by the web server. It is a so called self signed certicate and not one known and trusted up front.

Example :

Goto https://www.google.com
Your browser trusts the certificate from www.google.com.
Why ?

cd624967-df9f-426d-aaf6-8e39ddcca9a9-image.png

because at the root of Google certificate you will find, at the at-most right side, "GlobalSign Root CA".
And that one is present in your device (PC, Phone, etc) with several other (about 100 ?) CA certificates that are trusted "out of the box".

To get a 'real' trusted certificate, you need to 'rent' a domain name first "like what-should-I-chose.tld" from a registrar (on the Internet). Then, for example, Letenscrypt can give you for free a signed, trusted certificate for that domain name.
Then : install the obtained certificate into the pfSense Certificate store (see image below), assign the GUI with that certificate, and name your pfSense like this :

8a23160f-65b0-4332-a990-55083531296f-image.png

and then .... no more errors when visiting https://pfSense.what-should-I-chose.tld

( yeah, a bit daunting if you don't know how https access actually works - what is needed to make it work )

You can : inform you browser that it shouldn't bother warning you about the fact that it doesn't 'trust' the certificate from pfSense when you visit https://192.168.1.1
I'm not sure if that's still possible, though.

If you can't make an exception, you have two options :
Visit pfSense over http://192.168.1.1 - no more https, and live is easy.
Or, (do what johnpoz already explained a zillion time, I'll locate one later on)
Export the "pfSense WebGUI" CA certificate from here :

4b7d45c2-94aa-4a0f-b9c2-8e0ee36bcf4a-image.png

and import it into "chrome". From then on, chrome will trust the certificate used by https://192.168.1.1 or https://pfsense..... or whatever you have called your pfSense host name.

@stephenw10 @SteveITS ty for the upvotes :D

@puneet1984 I have adjusted ban to remove the large ban. But to be honest I don't recall anything but spam coming from all of india..

@pfsjap thank you - now I might have to start using this feature ;) heheh

@jimp I'm not saying you're wrong :) though there are ways to create a post without first entering the topic. For instance the unread posts page has a New Topic button at the top of the page. That page is my main entrance to the forum.

@johnpoz

Thanks. Was able to post now.

Hi am trying to edit my post on Starlink and flappy Wans but cant because of the spam ai. Would some kind sole please upvote my post and or give me rep points please....

I am having this issue too. I am trying to edit my post and Akismet is blocking me. If some kind person could please help me out with reputation points I would be most grateful.

@mikeinnyc said in typo on Summary of Multi-WAN Requirements page:

https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/multiwan/requirements.html

Use a failover gateway group for the default gaetway (DNS Resolver in default resolver mode)

Fixed, thanks!

I think I figured it out. The post contained two instances of a string containing the characters less-than hyphen hyphen greater-than to represent a network connection. When I replaced those strings with entity references < and >for the less-than and greater-than it went through.

Akismet could be a bit smarter, no?

That's the thing: the email on the old account SHOULD be the same as the one I used to set up this account and the username matches the email address.

I don't know if my old account was hacked or disabled or what.

I would think an admin would be able to contact me directly without me throwing my email on a public forum.

None the less I would prefer if you didn't link to that directly. Thanks.

Steve
