What in my setup have I done wrong when I get extremely many Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender, such as the below? I understand why they arrive, but I don't want them. And I have tried to write a mail rule that delete them asap, but they tend to end up in the spam folder instead. And I want to keep my spam folder clean, meaning I spend a lot of time to delete these… Any suggestions? Oh my heavens! how much I hate spammers!!!

Hey guys, So I have stumbled on what looks to be a limitation of the current commerce implementation. I currently offer multiple different subscription packages. These packages are separated into two groups. We have our Premium subscriptions which give you additional perks on the site & we have our Recurring Donation subscription for those who would like to also donate monthly. Originally the Recurring Donations used to be setup as "Products" in the store section. However as IPS is deprecating that, I have had to move the Recurring Donations into the Subscriptions. The issue is, our members want to be able to note only have an active subscripti…

I saw the Unban privilege but no Ban privilege to mods. Is Ban privilege default true for mods to ban members? Moderator is able to ban members. Moderator is not privileged to ban Admins and other Moderators (ok). But a Restricted Moderator is able to ban a Moderator in ACP. Is there a way to config this properly so a Restricted Moderator should not be allowed to ban a Moderator?

Hi, Is there an add-on that lets you insert code in a specific location? For instance, in this case, I use a chat option that wants the code inserted before the </body> tag. It's a pain to update 6 different themes, then each time I update the theme, I need to remember to re-inset that code. Thanks

What are the risks if connecting both a live forum and a developer testforum to the same database? Same invision software version. I have a huge forum database, so it would be easiest to connect both to same database. If not advisable, please explain why? Thanks in advance!

Hello folks, I need help with something, and I think the feature I require isn't part of the Invision community but is very useful. I need a way to send a sequence of onboarding emails to the users who register. What would be even better is to send different sequences to different user groups. At Topgold.Forum, we have the following: Members (who can upgrade to 2 or 3) Premium members Company Representative (who can upgrade to 4) Verified Companies. I want to be able to send different onboarding email sessions with features, etc, for each of these groups at custom intervals. What solution do I have besides, I suppose, z…

I want to move a couple thousand users to a new member group. I understand IPS does not advocate editing things directly in the database, but it would save me many hours of editing individual records in the ACP. Can I edit member_group_id directly?

Hello, when creating a gallery category there is no way to set a category cover for it. It is only possible from what I discovered by creating said category. Then creating an album, uploading the cover image as a picture and set it as a category cover then HIDE the album. Way too complicated. Is there a more suitable way to achieve this?
