Spam posts are on the increase on my site and while in the last few months those members had an IP origin of e.g. South Africa, Malaysia, etc...I observed, that recently those spammy members register with the IP 127.0.0.1. This makes it hard to exclude them as some real members (incl. myself) are also registered with 127.0.0.1... Does anyone have a suggestion how to deal with such SPAM? Word filters are already active. Restricting certain e-mail addresses is a bit a tricky as it would make it harder for regular members to sign up. E.g. restricting members using gmail addresses for mod approval. Any idea much appreciated. Thanks!

I used the forum about an hour ago, but now, I am getting this error message: An error occurred (500 Error) We're sorry, but a temporary technical error has occurred which means we cannot display this site right now. You can try again by clicking the button below, or try again later. I didn't perform anything as far as update, or installation. I just went to have dinner. Is this something I can fix orwhat? This is self-hosted on my own site. It is affecting both the forum and the gallery.

Hi! We're working on moving a database backup to a new installation in prep for a server move/rebuild, and we are finding that while we can login to the AdminCP fine, trying to login to the forum itself sends the user back to the login page. Inspecting the requests, I see Set-Cookie in the response headers, and I'm seeing ips4_member_id, ips4_IPSSessionFront and such in the response headers, but they never seem to get placed into the browser's cookies going by Chromium DevTools, even though the domain in the cookies seem to be correctly set to localhost:8080 Because this is a database backup from a live site, we're assuming there's a setting that needs to be cha…

Many of my forum users have had issues where the reply-text-box has no text input area, only the opportunity to add an attachment. This has happened to me also. Doesn't seem to matter if the person wanting to reply to a topic is using a phone, tablet, laptop or desktop, or which browser he/she is using (I've had reports of various Chrome iterations, Opera, and Android mobile browsers being affected.) Clearing the system cache from ACP works temporarily. As does having the user clear browsing data/cookies through whichever browser they're using. But it seems like the issue soon re-appears in as little as a few minutes or as much as several days later. Some of my users…

Hello, everyone. I have a serious problem with my installation. I had several forums that I had to delete because finally they were not going to be used, and by deleting them, the rest of the community forums are no longer visible. Moreover, they have not been deleted, but remain in the delete queue, but cannot be deleted nor does the delete task seem to work. There were also some threads in those forums, which I also deleted, but now if I go into the moderation panel and try to delete them permanently, it doesn't allow me to do so either. In short, neither the forums have been deleted, nor the topics, nor can I now see any forum in my community. They …

Is it normal that not all the PHP files and folders have their last modified date changed after I update the software? If the dates are not getting updated, I think my backup solution won't be able to tell which files were updated, and it will not back up the new files after an update. Most files on my server still have the original date from when I installed the software years ago.

Every day for the past few days, I get a notification that 4.7.17 is available. I go the upgrade page, then it tells me I already have the latest version installed - 4.7.16. The first time I did this, I went to the first page of the upgrader, and stopped what I was doing to make some backups and disable some apache modules that I thought might cause issues. This cleared the notification on the forum page, and I could not find a way to restart the upgrade. 24 hours later, the notification reappears, and I tried to upgrade again. I get a error that I am already on the latest version.

Hi, first time coming into an issue where I'm at a loss how to update my theme and other plugins as i can't accessthe admin section. I get this: [[Template core/admin/system/login is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date.

Hi, We have an issue with the delete secondary group rest API endpoint The code does not appear to check if the found group key is false before calling unset, which results in the first secondary group being removed (As PHP is casting false to 0) We are currently working around this by checking if the $key is false before calling unset. $secondaryGroups = array_filter( explode( ',', $member->mgroup_others ) ); $key = array_search( $group->g_id, $secondaryGroups ); if (false !== $key) { unset($secondaryGroups[$key]); } e.g: member 1's secondary groups are "5,6,7" call DELETE /core/members/1/secgroup/2 member 1's groups are now 6,7 …

Hi all, I was wondering if someone could help. Yesterday morning, around 2 a.m., my Invision installation started constantly hitting 100% CPU, which is obviously slowing down people browsing my community. My website idles typically around the 5%—10% CPU mark. I have disabled all applications, but the problem persists; I have a warning that my PHP is on version 8.0.30 and that my SQL is on non-InnoDB tables, which I am looking to rectify now. Is there anything else that could be causing this? Thanks, Dean

Good evening, I'm reaching out because I'm having a trouble upgrading my Invision Power Board. The automatic update isn't working, and I think it might be because the FTP login details have changed. I've updated them, but it's still giving me trouble. Since my community is self-hosted, the support team suggested I ask for help here. I would be so grateful for any guidance you could offer! Thank you so much.

After the mess Wasabi made for me yesterday, I'm stuck in the above scenario. I attempted to move my theme resources folder back to local. I see there are file write errors to the local storage container, which is odd, because other file types are using the same one and have been for years. The system doesn't look like it's continuing to try to write the files. There are no open tasks, but I can't change the setting for the theme resource location because it thinks they're still moving. Ultimately, I think I want to keep them local for a bit until I've been running successfully for a couple days. What can I do to jiggle this loose?
