Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted August 3, 20231 yr I heard from members that the password reset link in their email redirects them to the home page with no opportunity to update their password. I've tested and can confirm this behaviour. There are no entries in the error logs. Thanks.
August 3, 20231 yr Do you have an example of the email link you could send me? Also, have you disabled all 3rd party while testing this?
August 3, 20231 yr Author Hi Marc, https://xxxxx.xxx/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=redirect&url=https://xxxxx.xxx/lostpassword/?do=validate%26vid=2e0194899488addb3617fb6595bfc1ca%26mid=223015&key=330e6282572ad380add0469d989e5a91590fb0ab8b793be0fe6d423c2f23c822&email=1&type=lost_password_init No, I have not disabled all addons. One, in particular, I cannot disable without taking the site offline (it involves member privacy). Let me know on the above link, and if it looks good, and I'll perform some testing. PS The above link is more than an hour old, so even with the site address, it is no good to anyone. Edited August 3, 20231 yr by Como
August 3, 20231 yr Are you using sendgrid at all? I suspect something is being rewritten there, and one of our developers has mentioned the same. If you can send me the full unredacted URL via pm that may be helpful
August 3, 20231 yr Something appears to be messing with the encoding on some characters there. Either through an issue with your email service, changes in email templates, or 3rd party interference. There are parameters which wouldnt be passed over for that reason.
August 3, 20231 yr Author Members have have experienced the same problem. I've an idea of what the problem might be. I'll send you a PM in a few minutes.
August 3, 20231 yr Author Hi Marc, I sent you another sample link (PM), from another email account. Same URL structure. All apps and plugins are disabled (I double-checked).
August 3, 20231 yr Please be advised I have escalated this to a ticket so that we can further investigate.
August 6, 20231 yr Author I suspect the following is related to the above. The URL to user profiles, as displayed next to posts, is appended with an apparently superfluous string of characters. I disabled all apps and plugins and retested - same result. I note that no similar extra characters appear here when I hover/click usernames beside posts. https://xxxxx.xxx/profile/USER-ID-USERNAME/?wr=eyJhcHAiOiJmb3J1bXMiLCJtb2R1bGUiOiJmb3J1bXMtY29tbWVudCIsImlkXzEiOjI3MDg3NywiaWRfMiI6MzQ0NDU3NX0= The appended string is different for every post. Thanks.
August 6, 20231 yr Author Seems there is an explanation for my above post here: I am not sure I fully understand, but it appears to be benign and expected behavior.
August 7, 20231 yr Author I do not have a ticket. Or, if I do, I have not received an email with a link to it.
August 7, 20231 yr Author Cheers, Marc. Yeah, I did not realise that regular email from the regular support address was a ticket. Thanks.

March 31, 2024Mar 31 Author Hi. This bug is back! Similar, very long reset link, which does not resemble correct rest links. The work around is the same as before: Admin Control Panel > System > Email > (disable) Log Statistics setting I few weeks ago, a member contacted me about her problems resetting her password. I assumed she was doing something wrong and I reset it manually for her. But the problem arose again today, and I tested it for myself. I am not very happy that this bug has been reintroduced.
April 2, 2024Apr 2 Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! I can confirm this should be further reviewed and I have logged an internal bug report for our development team to investigate and address as necessary, in a future maintenance release.

Has this been resolved? I need to re-enable Log Statistics. Thanks.

I’m afraid, regardless of whether the issue previously existed or is brand new, the steps would be the same to resolving. At this time, we do not have any further info than the bug is open.
July 5, 2024Jul 5 Author Hi @Jim M I understand. But I am about bulk email members and I wished to have a log of links clicked as this might prove very informative. I was also hoping that as this bug was previously fixed, a fix might be more straightforward and speedy. But I do appreciate that you will have procedures to follow. Thanks.
