Something just happened. My community (in the cloud) was down (error 504 - see below) and this website (invisioncommunity.com) was giving me a gateway error. Now my site is working but very, very slow.

Our admin CP has had the following error message for over a week (dated 9/11, it seems). The Run Now button fails because the task is in progress, and there is nothing in the log. Wondering how to fix this?

Hi I have created a new database and created custom templates. Everything is okay apart from one thing. The category listing. Where the hell can I set the correct template? I created the default category listing and assigned that to my database, yet still the default categoryRow template is used. Can anyone help? Cheers John

So last night, we experienced an outage. It looks like that was related to the other issue that was posted. But we are an NFL football site and users are telling me that they see this message often on game day. Game day is our biggest day of the week \ year. I am not sure how to open a ticket. But we definitely need help, we upgraded to the cloud to be able to scale better on game day. Let me know how we can get things looked at. Thanks.

Hi. Recently many pages on our site have stopped working and are displaying this EX0 error. I am not sure how to correct this problem. Please bear with me as I have limited technical ability and did not originally develop the site. I have looked through pages in AdminCP and all of the pages experiencing this error appear to have permissions set as visible so my guess is its something other than a permissions error. Thank You for any assistance!

Hi folks I still have a smf forum on another url (url X) that we now want to add to an existing IPS-forum (on url Z). When trying to convert this forum from external url, I cannot get it to accept the data provided: The details provided are not correct or the database is unavailable. So how to do this operation.... Can I backup my urlX database and build/add new database on urlZ, THEN convert and add threads to my existing forum?

I'm just trying to add DNS records for my third party email service but since I have the "Cloud Community" I can't touch my DNS? I tried to change my nameservers to CloudFlare and inherit the DNS records invision setup for me to keep my site up then add to the records, it worked, but then my site went down. So I guess invision is making sure I do DNS through them? What can I do? All I need is to add a simple DNS records for email. It shouldn't be this hard.

Hello, I am creating pages in folders and subfolders. I assumed that the breadcrumb should display the correct hierarchy once a folder is created. The URL is fine when a page is inside a page folder. However, when I open the page... the breadcrumb will NOT display the page folder as the URL does. .com/stocks/test is the URL Shouldn't the breadcrumb also be the same --> Home -> Stocks -> Test ? Thanks

I'm not sure whether this is a technical glitch or something I've not configured correctly. Notifications seem to be working flawlessly in boards and PMs, but if I follow an event (selecting both notifications and e-mails), I don't get anything. Is there somewhere to activate this outside of the personal notifications preferences? I'm using a tech admin account to test this, and here is what I have selected: Thanks for any suggestions!

At the top of my homepage/forumhome I have a block with new forum entries. If I (or other users) come back after some time, it still shows the old list. Only if we hit F5 it will update. It happens on mobile and Desktop, browser is chrome. You can find screenshots/examples here: https://www.fernstudium-infos.de/topic/20001-startseite-aktualisiert-sich-nicht-mehr/page/3/

Is it possible to make your RSS/Atom Feed Imports get updated automatically? As it stands you have to click the refresh button manually. I'm wondering if this can be automated somehow? I saw one app in the marketplace that seems to do this with the option of refreshing automatically, but it does not work with latest version of IPS. The other RSS features (for pages) do not import enough info like RSS/Atom Feed inside AdminCP does. Maybe somehow setup a cron to run it, but how, if that is possible?

My forum's is simply not sending the email with the password reset link (I checked my spam folder). The password reset email worked for this forum allowing me to post my request for help. I'm locked out of my forum is there another way for me to reset my own password?

Hey! Please view the video below. I feel it portrays the issue much better than I can describe with words. chrome_G4uEny2h0O.mp4 Basically, if you expand a quote and then expand a spoiler within that quote, it will break outside of the quote, and interfere with other elements. Any way to fix this?
