Hello, am I the onlyone having problems with images and logo quality on my platform? If I upload, for example, a 300x150 adv banner for the sidebar, you can see it clear on non-retina desktops but blurred on the retina desktops. If I try and upload a 2x version of it, so a 600x300 banner for the same sidebar, you can see it clear on retina desktops but blurred on the non-retina ones. Same happens with the community main logo. I'm not finding a solution but it also seems strange that it's not possibile to provide good quality images for different screens. Any advice?

Hi all Lately, we are experiencing a massive delay in outgoing mail from the board to the user. (like in registration mail authentication, notification to email, etc.) I tried to send a test mail from the Email setting, and indeed I got the test mail a few hours after I send it. We are using SMTP as delivery method. Any idea what can cause this delay?

I merged a members new to his old forgotten account today. I accedentally merged "the wron way" so his date of reg is now set to jan. 8. 2021 but he really had his account from 1999. This is one of the veterans and I really want to set his date correct. Is there a way to undo or reverse my merge or set his reg date manually?

Hello, My database is growing to a large degree. I've read that archiving can help reduce the size of the database and increase performance. Can anyone provide the type of savings which can be had from personal experience? Is it very noticeable? Whilst the archiving task is running, is the task itself intense on server resources? Thanks.

So after restoring my cPanel accounts via WHM with all of my domains, all data successfully restored. However, the forum database seems to be corrupt. I checked the tables in phpMyAdmin, no issues, yet in the ACP under "Support" and "check database" it's saying that there are errors with the database, and then when I click "Fix automatically", I get this. IPS 4.4.10 (I can't update to the latest because my forum theme isn't compatible. MySQL database engine seems to be both INNODB and MyISAM on a lot of tables. EDIT: When repairing tables in phpMyAdmin also I get this: The storage engine for the table doesn't support r... Whatever that means.

About a year ago I set up SSL on my site through LetsEncrypt. Since then there have been occasional problems with people getting verification emails. Usually it works fine, but it's become a semi-regular issue at this point. In the admin cp > Email settings, under Advanced Settings there are the following options. I just want to double check before I change these to make sure this isn't going to cause problems. Here's where they're at now (attached image). I believe I should set SMTP Host to "ssl://localhost" and SMTP Protocol to "SSL". The options for SMTP Protocol are Standard / Plaintext, SSL and TLS. Are these the correct choices?
