PureBasic Forums - English

What a bummer.

Thanks for trying out that solution though. I was really hoping this could be helpful but it seems Cloudflare maybe just does a bit too much here.

I changed the IP address of *.purebasic.fr to the old one locally on my side and the login to the German board is working again.
I can only assume that Cloudflare does cache pages with POST forms and also caches the CSRF token in it which is then invalid for everyone else that retrieves that cached ...

Oh no. I got logged out from the German Board and I am not able to login again or to reset my password. It says the form was invalid.

Or maybe that's because of the new Cloudflare DNS. It has not yet propagated to me. I still see the old IP until my DNS has refreshed itself. Should still take 53 minutes on my side.

I am very surprised : I have absolutely no problem

Since yesterday everything is working fast again. You're just late to the waiting party.

And it's not only the forums. The whole domain is slow as hell.
Yesterday I wanted to browse the documentation via browser but I had to wait around 20 seconds after each click. Or did you try to open just https://www.purebasic.com ? I takes double the time because of an additional redirect in between.

Just sign in on Github, create a repository there and you can upload as much code as you want, (basically). Then you can link it here.

this mining of the AI bots could potentially promote PureBasic and hindering the bots could potentially have a negative impact

I don't think so. The good AI bots don't take down a whole website until it's nearly unusable. I don't think that Gemini, ChatGPT or Perplexity would do that. It's only ...

First you have to distinguish the different namespaces for IDs in Purebasic. I can not list all of them out of my head but here are some examples:
Windows
Gadgets
Images
Sprites
...
Then you can use named enumerations to have lists for each kind of objects in Purebasic like so:
Enumeration ...

Why exactly do you want that? For what purpose do you use these numbers?
If someone asks such questions it mostly means there is a better way to solve the problem.

Rogue AI crawling can take down any website, nothing we can do about it. Moving to cloudflare protection can also have its own issues.

I just searched around a bit and the best solution I found was indeed the Cloudflare Protection which can block these kinds of attacks and still does not cost ...

Hi Fred,

the whole day now the forums are very very unresponsive and I really don't like to surf it like that.

I just tested a simple curl to the main page and it took more than 20 seconds as an anonymous user to load just the index:
$ time curl https://www.purebasic.fr/english/index.php > /dev ...

For me, OOP is just another tool in the toolbox. If I need an object, I need an object. It's not a religion, as you see with many users of Java or C++ with Objects . I believe PB already is OOP. Module + AllocateStructure gives you more than you need, except the syntactic sugar of the dot. With ...

Why do you still try to read binary data as a Unicode string?
UCS-2 does not allow 2^16-1 characters. It's less than that and you have to read the specification for it. Here's a start point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-16

But why would you wanna do that? Do you really need Chinese and ...
