For some reason unknown they have disappeared. I’ll need to investigate this. Will keep you up to date.

They wouldn't have the options in admin if that was the case.

On 21 October 2026, the PHP project released fixes for two critical security vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619) affecting PHP installations worldwide.
We acted on the advisory as soon as we could. A temporary protective measure was in place while we waited for the official patches, and all ForumSpark servers were updated to the patched PHP versions as soon as they became available.
No action is needed from board owners or members. Your forums remain online and work as usual.

Sometimes I do, but I’ve found that there are people who don’t put as much effort into it as I do. I try to provide 3 good sentences for each post, and in return I might get a 4 word sentence. It gets frustrating when that happens.

Forum promotion is really a hard one.
Most means of distribution don’t work for forums.
It’s hard to convert social media users to forum members because those users are already able to post on social media and it almost seems redundant to join something else to do the same thing.
SEO is really challenging for forums. Most of the content on a forum is User Generated Content and most users don’t have SEO in mind when creating posts.
Promoting your forum on Reddit, Quora, and places like that seems like spam.
Promotion forums, directories, and word-of-mouth are really your only best free opt…

Do you conduct post exchanges with other forums?
How serious do you conduct them? Do you try to remain on topic or go straight to the off topic section?
How would you rate the quality of most post exchanges these days?

I wonder if this was intentional by design since I can do the drop down under my avatar and see my SparkCoins there?

Suggestion
It would be great to have an administrator-only reset option for the ForumSpark credits system.
I had the credits system disabled on my forum, Spark Promotion, for a while and recently enabled it again. However, the old SparkCoins balances were still there. I would have liked the option to start everyone fresh with a zero balance.
Suggested Features
Add a Reset Credits button in the administrator settings.
Allow administrators to reset all members' credit balances to zero.
Include a confirmation prompt to prevent accidental resets.
If possible, provide options to reset the le…

Forum: Spark Promotion — https://sparkpromotion.net/
Description
I've enabled the relevant settings in the ForumSpark credits system, but SparkCoins balances aren't showing in member profiles or post mini profiles on Spark Promotion.
The following settings are enabled:
Show in mini profile — Display the credit balance in post mini profiles.
Show in profile — Display the credit balance on member profiles.
Show leaderboard — Show the top-earners widget and page.
Despite enabling these options, the SparkCoins balances aren't appearing where expected.
Expected Behaviour
Members should be…

How many staff titles and positions do you offer on your forum?
Just administrators and moderators, or maybe just moderators?
Or do you have other titles and positions available?
