Hello, I am interested in limiting area in my forum to customers only—customers who paid yearly subscriptions. How do you suggest starting this complicating process? Is the payment system on the marketplace? Thank you.

Hi, I have tried different photos and everything but sometimes the banner disappears and it is just a plain grey background. I am not sure if this is a common problem but I just think it's odd. Either the photo is gone when I go in the ACP or it still shows the preview but says 0 B.

I searched for my recent post "The 20" and used quotes, and it returns nothing, uses the 20, no quotes. It returns one oddly wrong result. However, if I search for the20 quotes or no quotes, it returns the correct results. Are there settings that need to change for this to work correctly? Or can you please explain how we search in the forum properly? Screenshot below is when I search The 20 with quotes: Search The 20 without quotes: Search The20 and it shows the correct results: - Allan

Greetings. I recently joined the community in the hope of getting some help. My apologies in advance for my ignorance, I don't understand much about forums, plugins etc. The community/forum I come from is called Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Maker, and uses the board system provided by Invision https://www.cardmaker.net/yugioh/ What I'd like to ask is about plugins (if that's the right term for what I'm going to ask). During a discussion in one of our threads, I learned that there are a number of features that can be implemented in the site, but they seem to be unavailable inherently in the configuration, since the admin of the forum mentioned that they'd be willing …

I was having an issue with S3 not allowing me to install items through the Marketplace. I would get a "There was a problem loading this content" error. I believe the issue was related to my CORS config as it was resolved after including "PUT" and "POST" in AllowedMethods[] [ { "AllowedHeaders": [ "*" ], "AllowedMethods": [ "HEAD", "GET", "PUT", "POST" ], "AllowedOrigins": [ "*" ], "ExposeHeaders": [], "MaxAgeSeconds": 3000 } ] Unsure if anyone else has run into this, or if this is the ideal setup for CORS, but it see…

Hi, I have a self hosted forum and I am changing the domain name. I know to change the global folder in the database to point to the new domain and to clear system cache in the ACP. It is going to be on the same server so is there anything else I have to do? Do I have to put the license key to the new URL? If so, will that mess anything up when the forum is unlicensed for a few minutes?

When using loose profanity filter with "Block submission" action it works not as expected because of js regexp. reggie = new RegExp("(?:\\b|\\s|^)(" + looseWords.join('|') + "\\w*)(?:\\b|\\s|$)","ig"); At first it only find words starting with filter. If i try to filter "word" it match "wordpress" but not "sword". Secondly "\w" does not match non-latin word characters but "\b" includes non-latin letters in opposite. In last js filters content on browser side only and there is no content validation in php backend when using "Block submission" option. So it's easy to prevent filtering by devtools in browser and post bad words out of control.

Hi Invision, In IPS.Commerce 4.6.10, there is an issue with account credits and invoice payments with Stripe. Stripe indeed refuses card payments under $0.50: https://stripe.com/docs/currencies#minimum-and-maximum-charge-amounts However, it turns out that members can end up with an invoice to pay less than this amount of $0.50, when they have an account credit. There are 2 issues in IPS.Commerce concerning this limitation: 1st situation: with generateRenewalInvoices Let's take an example of a member who has an account credit of $9.60, and a $10 / month subscription. During the generateRenewalInvoices task: IPS.Commerce will …

I just updated and saw this green tab in ACP "Upgrade to Cloud" Is this sign that IPS will stop supporting self hosting and only provide their service for cloud subscription costomers soon in the future? Is it possible to disable this bright green tab in the ACP as its very distracting?

Hi there, In the past we submitted a ticket about an issue that clients can not re-subscribe if they have an expired subscription. According to the ticket the issue should have been resolved with the 4.6 update but it's still there up to this day. When will this issue get resolved? People get the following error if the subscription has expired: You already have a subscription, and cannot purchase another. We clear all subscriptions manually ever since but it's quite bothersome.
