Dear FreeFlarum Team and Community,
I am running a Flarum forum hosted on FreeFlarum, and I would like to improve the visual appearance of the footer. However, I want to make sure my modifications are fully compliant with your Terms of Service, especially Section 2.5 regarding the FreeFlarum footer.
Currently, I have replaced the default footer with a styled version, but I have not removed or obscured any required credits. Instead, I have:
Kept the “Powered by FreeFlarum” text (displaying as “感谢由 FreeFlarum 提供托管服务” for Chinese visitors and “Powered by FreeFlarum” for English visitors, automatically adapting to the site’s language).
Preserved the donation link https://freeflarum.com/donate with a clear call‑to‑action (“捐赠以移除页脚” / “Donate to remove footer”).
Only changed the styling (colors, padding, decorative separators, etc.) and reworded the original “remove this footer” to a more user‑friendly prompt.
The original footer is hidden and replaced with the new one, but all mandatory acknowledgements and links remain visible and clickable.
Here is a sample of the new footer (it adapts to the site language):
html
<p style=“…”>
(Chinese: 感谢由 <a href=“https://freeflarum.com/">FreeFlarum</a> 提供托管服务。 / English: Powered by <a href=“https://freeflarum.com/">FreeFlarum</a>.)
<br>
(<a href=“https://freeflarum.com/donate">捐赠以移除页脚 / Donate to remove footer</a>)
</p>
I believe this approach respects your policy, as the credit and donation option are still prominently displayed. To be absolutely certain, could you please confirm whether this modification is allowed? If there is any issue, I will adjust it immediately.
Thank you for providing this excellent free service!
Best regards,
Deep
