Forums registrations have been broken for months

Postby xse » Sat Jan 31, 2026 10:38 am

Hello.

I'm just wondering if you guys noticed that there is no way to register on the alarm forum, it's been broken for 5/6 months.
On IRC's side we obviously tried contacting a few people without success
The forum being the place you're supposed to go for support/contact makes it quite awkward for users.

Here's a sample from: grep 'forum' /var/soju/logs/xse/libera/\#archlinuxarm/*

/var/soju/logs/xse/libera/#archlinuxarm/2025-08-01.log:[02:43:57] <kelson42> Has anyone been able to register for the forum recently? I've tried several times over the last few weeks and never got the confirmation emails.
/var/soju/logs/xse/libera/#archlinuxarm/2025-08-17.log:[16:30:10] <neildarlow> The forum seems broken. Error 502 Bad Gateway from NgiNX
/var/soju/logs/xse/libera/#archlinuxarm/2025-08-25.log:[20:40:59] <badsanta_> bill-auger: so, who knows exactly what's the reason? I tried to register on the forum, but looks like the registration is broken.
/var/soju/logs/xse/libera/#archlinuxarm/2025-09-01.log:[18:02:04] <kelson42> Anyone know how to contact the forum admins? Registration is broken right now because the captcha won't load. ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID on loading cap.js fr
om a third party site.1
/var/soju/logs/xse/libera/#archlinuxarm/2025-09-03.log:[05:35:08] <kelson42> Any forum admins here? I'm unable to register. The captcha isn't loading.
/var/soju/logs/xse/libera/#archlinuxarm/2025-09-04.log:[17:54:12] <mpan> leming: hi. Forgive me a direct ping, but somebody on Arch MLs inquires about a contact with people from AL ARM, seeing trouble registering to ALARM’s forum: https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/arch-general@lists.archlinux.org/thread/U3V54IG5XWA7BZBJZIVZHKARN4LHR5X6/
/var/soju/logs/xse/libera/#archlinuxarm/2025-09-12.log:[18:04:14] <metamuffin> Hello. I noticed that the register form on the archlinux arm forum is broke. Cann anybody check if this is a problem on my side?
/var/soju/logs/xse/libera/#archlinuxarm/2025-09-12.log:[22:00:48] <bswartz> If it's like other forum problems it will be months to years
/var/soju/logs/xse/libera/#archlinuxarm/2025-10-09.log:[18:54:59] <JanErik> seems it is not possible to register to the forum now, cannot see the anti-spam challenge
/var/soju/logs/xse/libera/#archlinuxarm/2025-10-26.log:[00:39:04] <ejona> Anyone aware keycaptcha.com is dead, which prevents registering on the forum?
/var/soju/logs/xse/libera/#archlinuxarm/2025-11-03.log:[09:15:34] <gibfesta> I have been trying to register to https://archlinuxarm.org/forum but I am unable to do so
/var/soju/logs/xse/libera/#archlinuxarm/2025-11-03.log:[10:01:20] <Ingar> If I'm not mistaken, the forums are in a somewhat broken state
/var/soju/logs/xse/libera/#archlinuxarm/2025-11-25.log:[20:57:48] <xse> marzoul: hey, i would make a forum post if you had an account already, here on irc there's not much point
/var/soju/logs/xse/libera/#archlinuxarm/2025-11-25.log:[22:08:16] <marzoul> xse : Thanks for your messsage. I also tried registering on the forum, but the antispam thing does not even load so I can't submit the form.
/var/soju/logs/xse/libera/#archlinuxarm/2025-12-18.log:[10:23:51] <katerX> Is the registration for the Arch Linux ARM forum supposed to be working? I either get a php error, which I think is related to the username or the following sent
ence "The solution of task you submitted was incorrect. Please read the instruction and try again." I guess that is related to a captcha. My browser does not present any captcha though.
/var/soju/logs/xse/libera/#archlinuxarm/2025-12-27.log:[01:33:29] <Stunts> Hi everyone. I'm trying to register on the Archlinux ARM forums, but the antispam seems to be misbheaving (as in, not appearing)
/var/soju/logs/xse/libera/#archlinuxarm/2025-12-27.log:[01:35:46] <Stunts> Specifically I wanted to post here: https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=17371
/var/soju/logs/xse/libera/#archlinuxarm/2026-01-10.log:[20:25:53] <bs86> Tried registering in the forum but could not because the the captcha does not work anymore, is that known? Debugging says backs.keycaptcha.com: connection refused)
/var/soju/logs/xse/libera/#archlinuxarm/2026-01-13.log:[17:17:58] <bs86> but without a forum account and the registration being broken on 3 devices and 4 networks, there is nothing I can do
/var/soju/logs/xse/libera/#archlinuxarm/2026-01-30.log:[17:49:59] <fckwan> I am not able to join the arch linux arm forum.

Just wondering if people on the forums are even aware of the issue since login still works fine.
Have a good day o/
