Just got a love note from FB on their annual checkup - I have not altered anything since I got it up and working. And now they say they get a message that reads: "You are not permitted to register a user account with this site." I tried my account by first disconnecting FB from my account settings. Then I logged out of my site and clicked the sign up button. It does a redirect and found my existing account. But it will not let me reauthenticate - with my FB password or my known site password, which I know both are correct as they are stored in 1Password and also have 2Factor. However if I log in to the site with my email account and go to CONFIGURE …

Hello, Members are cancelling their memberships but I can't see that reflected under the "purchases" in ACP. See attachment. I get the emails from PayPal but I can't see their cancellations reflected in ACP 😞 Isn't PayPal's IPN is tracked when a user cancels a recurrent payment? Thanks

I have enabled new Fluid View: Now after enabling when I click on Entertainment, I get below view - which confuses users, hey no topics. Shouldn't it combine and show all topics by date added or updated? All the categories, needs to be enabled by default.

Hi, We are trying to move to another host. We moved all the files and the database but we are getting a 500 error. In the uploads/log directory there aren't any logs created. The domain will stay the same in the end but for testing purposes we are using another domain first. Could this be the reason of the 500 error or can I find a more detailed log somewhere? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have stumbled across an issue that just came up using the latest software version. When I copy and paste images into a post and hit sumbit, most of the time the images will be displayed skewed. It only happens sometimes, not all the time. Why could that be? https://specializedforum.de/topic/20-stumpjumper-alu-im-großen-pinkbike-budgetbike-test/#comment-41

Hello, My site is using clubs, and each club has their own blog. These blogs are fed via RSS feed, however are not updating automatically as I would expect. Instead I've been having to go to back to the page below and resubmit the form every day. It appears that creating adding RSS Feeds through the AdminCP>System>RSS Feed Imports WOULD automate this, however my individual club blogs are not options to import into. Is there another way to handle this? Something I'm missing? Thanks!

Hi I mainly upload downloadable content to my own site but occasionally I work with other sites and simply add links to those files. Is it possible for download links to open in a new window rather than directly taking our members off site completely? Sorry if I've missed it but I can't seem to find that option.

I'm looking to move my installation of the Invision suite from the /board directory on my server to the root directory, making it replace the main page of my website. What do I need to watch out for to ensure this goes as smoothly as possible? I assume I'd need to update the conf_global.php and possibly the constants.php files. Would setting up a 301 redirect work for redirecting all link to the old location to the new location? Thanks!

Your product is great, we've just decided to move in a different direction with our existing forums. I was hoping to find an easy button to click to do this, but I cannot see one.

We recently experience issue with PayPal who started putting our money on hold until we enter tracking code for shipping for selected transactions. Case is that we configured the Commence product as non-physical but somehow, buyers are still able to provide shipping address what results in the issue we experience - PayPal detects the transactions differently. I wonder if this is some sort of issue in IPS implementation of PayPal?

Hello, When a customer choses to save their card as a payment method, they are unable to edit that card's billing address. An issue occurs when they enter an incorrect billing address, and cannot change the address for the stored payment method.
