How can something externally be ‘updating files daily’ on my server without my permission (if Im understanding that correctly?)

It’s not. Those files have come from github but there is no physical link with your server unless you have that doing automated git pull against the repository, which I doubt 🧐

@Panda is it the case with all accounts, or just Gmail ? I have a theory here, but need to get some more detail. Also, could you tell me if your email server is self hosted, and what product is it (for example, PostFix)

[Panda]

@phenomlab I use Zoho mail service.

Back to editing the text in the signup messages. I installed the plugin but its confusing.
It shows two boxes:-

1. TRANSLATION CUSTOMIZATIONS
   Language Namespace Key Original Replacement
   English (United Kingdom/Canada) (en-GB)

2. TEMPLATE CUSTOMIZATIONS

Should I be using 1) or 2) ?
I tried clicking on everything but cant seem to get the Text that you get at signup to edit it

[phenomlab]

@Panda should be 1 as you want to modify the text being used.

Can you confirm if you have correct DNS records for spf, dmarc and dkim configured on your domain?

[Panda]

@phenomlab I dont know what spf, dmarc and dkim are so I guess not!
Do I need them?

By the way I tried to upvote your response in regard to using option 1) - its worked now, but you already have 99 upvotes! Upvote count is at 99 for all posts?!

[phenomlab]

@Panda yes, as without them, virtually none of your email will be delivered correctly. At best, the email may land up in spam at the recipient end, but at worst, the emails will simply be deleted by the recipient server.

[Panda]

where do I even go to set those things?
P.S. Please see my edit about all posts on this forum showing at +99 votes, is that just myside or a bug?

[phenomlab]

@Panda I think that’s your side as someone else has just upvoted without issue. Can you try in an incognito session as let me know if the issue remains ?

You’d need to set those records in your domain’s DNS.

[Panda]

Yes all posts in this thread showing ^99 even in incognito on laptop. But it is fine (showing 0) on my mobile

[phenomlab]

@Panda very strange. I’ll need to check that

[phenomlab]

@Panda I can’t replicate this issue at all on 3 PC’s and 6 different browsers…

@Panda 🤭 that “99” you are seeing is actually a quote symbol. Click it and see what happens…

Oh! Silly me lol
Did you configure that as a custom change to the usual quote icon. How do you do that?
I notice on NodeBB site its a solid blue quotes

Yes, I changed it. NodeBB by default users the free font awesome library whereas I use the pro (paid) version SDK have access to a wider set of icons, and at different thicknesses etc. The change of colour is just simple CSS.
