Announcements

🛒 Meet the new Code Forum Shop! 🎉 I'm really excited to announce the launch of our new shop. You can get merch ranging from T's and Hoodies to phone cases and my personal favourite, the coffee mug! The Code Forum shop is excellent for getting high-quality Code Forum merch in exchange for helping us maintain our growing infrastructure. That's right, all the funds we receive from merch sales will be used to help maintain and improve our community here. We currently have a select few products in the shop. We have T-shirts, hoodies, toques (hat), phone cases, long sleeves and a coffee cup. But fear not, more are coming soon. (feel free to suggest your ideas for new merch!) I, myself, have the coffee mug. The mug came pretty quickly, and I...

Hello Coders!

You can help by creating and posting lots of posts! Current Posting Stats: The current posting stats are the starting point, all new...

"Reach for the sky!" Wise words once spoken by my idol growing up, Woody. Code Forum has over 1,000+ registered coders within the community, which is by far the most exciting news of all! Just a little over two years, Code Forum has gone through many challenges, but we have always found the solutions to those challenges as a community. Honestly, if you were to ask me if I expected to reach 1k in registrations two years ago, I probably would have laughed and said, "Yeah, right!" I am proud of myself, and I am proud of my staff team. I am proud of everyone at Code Forum for taking a big leap into the unknown. In my eyes, I still see a small community, and I expect it to stay like that. We will continue to focus on our primary goal...

Happy New Year! On behalf of the Code Forum team, we all would like to wish you a happy new year! @SpicyHobo @simong1993 @rashipande @Thomasss I believe I can speak for all of us when I say this; it’s been a really rough year. Some of us have dealt with great hardships and losses and even suffered in 2020. But, I want you to know that everyone here at Code Forum is family, a coding family. We will always be there when you need help; we will stand strong together in this new year and the next and the next. BIG ACHIEVEMENT! :x3: Now I would like to share our greatest accomplishment. This year alone, we had over 794 new registrations. Definitely, well above the expected registration count, I originally thought. I'm hoping that this...

Code Forum's Discord Integration add-on gets an upgrade! Hi all! We're proud to announce that we have implemented a new Discord Add-on. This addon is bringing many new improvements and features. The Discord add-on will continue to post any new threads to our #new-threads channel on our Discord Server. We felt that this change was needed because the add-on was lacking features and just didn't hit all the necessary functions we expected from it. If you connect your Discord account... When you connect your Discord account to Code Forum, you will automatically be taken to our Discord Server. You will also any private conversations and any alerts e.g. someone liking your post, replying to a watched thread etc. However, we have disabled...

We would like to wish everyone a belated Christmas and Happy New Year. Even if you don’t celebrate Christmas, we hope you enjoy the holidays and spend time with your family/friends/pets, and even if you’re alone this holiday season - we will always be here to celebrate with you. This year we have grown significantly and have welcomed many new faces (avatars?) who have come to Code Forum looking for help, inspiration and a community that stands behind them. We had approximately 1,872 members register on Code Forum this year! 🎉. Compared to last year, we had 1,581 registrations. So I would like to take this opportunity and congratulate the Code Forum community for reaching such an amazing milestone. I would also like to thank our staff...

We now have 900+ registered coders! Hello Coders, I am happy to announce that we now have over 900+ registered coders on Code Forum! We are so close to 1,000 registered coders!

Community Engagement Team becomes Guardians! I am pleased to announce that Code Forum has officially changed the name of our mode Community Engagement team to Guardians. The reason for the change is because I wanted the name to be something unique, something of importance, something the signifies a protector. And so then Guardian Team was born. They will still perform the same tasks, but will just be labelled as Guardians. Please note: The Guardians will still be labelled as Staff Team. @LTomy @SpicyHobo @Thomasss @simong1993 You can view the badge below: I hope you guys enjoy the changes!

Changes in regards to Staff Team. Hi all, I have recently made changes to how we display members of our staff team. And, I believe this will make it less confusing for everyone to understand who does what and who to go to for help. Before we had our Guardians (Moderators) displayed as a yellow colour. But due to new teams being made, and new colours being added it was starting to get a little too confusing. e.g. Who to go to for help? With that, all of our staff teams, marketing, guardians have been merged all into just one "Staff Team". However, "Administrators" will remain the same colour orange. We hope that with this change, coders would understand who to go to for what. Our team is there to help you. Quick round down of the...

Hello everyone! I am happy to announce that Code Forum has reached another great milestone! We now have 800 Registered coders; we are so close to our goal of 1k! Thank you all for being incredibly amazing! Malcolm

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! On behalf of the Code Forum Team, @rashipande, @SpicyHobo, @simong1993 and @Thomasss we would all like to wish you a safe and happy holidays!

Meet the new default! Hello Coders I am excited to announce that we are going to be releasing a new default style. This style is cleaner and is modern compared to our existing styles. I felt that we didn't have a modern-looking style and felt like we were behind in times. Well, today is the day where we finally get a new modern-style style! Thank you to @Shole, @Thomasss and @LTomy for their expertise in looking for any imperfections! I have included a couple of screenshots to show you what the new style looks like! Let us know of anything we may have missed and will get it fixed! I hope you all enjoy the New Default!

Hello, Coders! This thread was created to keep you updated on when we update site features, software. Any bugs or problems please let us know by posting in the Community Hub.

I’m happy to announce that we now have over 700+ registered coders! Thank you for all your support and we will continue to try our best to support you and your coder needs! :)

We stylin' After plenty of feedback, we have finally implemented both a light and dark style for our community to choose from. Whether you prefer dark or light you can select them from either your Account Preferences or down by the footer (brush icon). Many hours were dumped into styling both these styles, however, due to many different variables and properties, we may have missed something. So if you noticed something that doesn't look right, please report under the Community Hub forum. We hope you enjoy them just as much as we enjoy making them! :)

Hello, Coders! I have made major changes to the forum layout, in hopes to make it easier for new and existing coders when browsing the community. Please read carefully as some forums have been removed and some have been changes. Coding/Programming Language > Split Coding/Programming Languages has now been split into two categories - Front-End Languages and Back-End Languages. Within the front-end category, we've got the languages that are visible to the user e.g. HTML, CSS and JavaScript. While back-end category, we've got everything that deals with server-side languages, this includes C++, Java, PHP etc. I have also changed the default thread type to question related posts. However, if not a question you can disable the voting...

Hello, Coders! I am pleased to announce that Code Forum is now running on XenForo 2.2. As mentioned in our previous update thread that can be found here, Code Forum has plenty of new features. Weekly Activity email, username change requests, Forum Types, Profile Banner and etc. All forums should now be set to the correct forum type and everyone should be able to request name changes, upload profile banners etc. Please take note, that we are currently running on an unsupported version of XenForo. I wanted to kinda take the risk and help out the XenForo.com community with any bugs. Thread Types Discussion - This thread type is intended to be used for more discussion-based posts.

Hello! I would like to announce that we now have 500 registered coders on Code Forum! Many things are to come, thank you so much for believing in us!

Hello, Coders! Code Forum is about helping each other, that's why today I'm announcing a new feature that will help YouTube streamers and coders. This feature as you may have already noticed on the homepage is a slider that shows multiple different types of YouTube videos of coding tutorials. Everyone learns in different ways, some learn better by hearing or visual etc, that's why I think displaying YouTube videos will help even more coders learn and understand. With this feature, I hope it will help coders here on Code Forum but also help YouTube streamers by gaining traffic. How can I share my video? Not anyone can just post their video as of right now. You have to send @Master Yoda a message, with your channel and videos you wish...

Hello Coders, You might be wondering why Code Forum was going through a bit of downtime. Right away I want to ensure you we were not hacked nor lost any data. It was just brought to my attention by @Disruptive that our IP was being exposed. I had to shut down Code Forum several times to ensure that all accounts were safe. We made updates to our Email System and have installed a proxy server for our images. And finally we have migrated from Apache to Nginix with offers better performance. However with this move, you may have notice we aren’t using friendly URLs. I am aware and will be working to resolve this as soon as I can. And once again I would like to thank @Disruptive for their help and I would also like to thank you as the...

Howdy, Coders! Many of you are probably noticing a few of the many changes that we have made to Code Forum. Today, I am happy to announce those changes in this thread! These changes range from Badges all the way to the backend server and future changes coming. Down below I will go through many topics in much more detail, but here's a brief overview of all the changes. Badges, Changes to Site Rules & Guidelines - additional rule added, New posts button, Editor changes, new server, new onboarding features and our coding challenge. Editor Changes Over the last couple of months, we had a problem where many new coders would post raw code within their posts, which made it very hard to read. Rules were added, many warnings were given out...
