Oh, you mean...
What they're doing well by focusing on their core competencies rather than trying to do in-house embroidery and order fulfillment of apparel? 
 
 
You made my point for me before I made it myself.  Thanks.
Some of y'all are just looking for rocks to throw at people, and in absence of rocks will try to hurl an embroidered hoodie at them instead.   Do better.

Commerce is still epic. We wanted to use something that could handle the fulfillment process since we are hard at work on new features rolling out this year. 😊 

I wanted to come back to this and provide an update.  The method that @Jim M outlined of limiting the conversations that a particular user group can start per day, and setting it to ZERO, worked perfectly for my scenario.
I have combined this with some simple Member Group Promotion rules elsewhere in the Admin Panel, which moves users from their initial group of New Member  to one called Active Member after certain criteria are met.  The Active Member group removes the "zero per day" restriction on starting new conversations.
So, good success here and, again, my appreciation to @Jim M and the rest of you for your help.

No problem at all 🙂 Thats what we're here for

You might find this app suits your needs 

Yes, that is correct. 

You can disable complete access to the Messaging system by going to ACP -> System -> Applications -> expand "System" -> on "Messages" click permissions and uncheck groups you do not want access to this module.
You can also manage Message settings from ACP -> Members -> Groups -> edit group -> Social tab -> Messages.

Not sure there’s a group option for this.

Try to disable the module in ACP -> System -> Applications-> click in System to expand -> Messenger-> padlock -> uncheck the group.
That will make theses users to not use it but I’m not sure will work.

Because I hate it when folks say they've figured out their own issue but then don't share more detail that might help someone else solve their own similar problem, here are some more things that I hope will aid others.
First, as of version 4.6.10, this is found in the IPBoard Admin CP under Settings > Advanced Configuration > Server Environment > Tasks

 
I then just needed to go into my cron job on my server and update the string there.  Here's how it looks on my WHM managed server under the CPANEL for this particular website.

 
Once I did the above, my scheduled tasks began to run properly in IPB and the backlog of processes cleared up.

OK, I solved this one myself.  Big "derp" moment.
I had updated the version of PHP running on my WHM-managed server.  I needed to go back to the Task Method settings inside of my IPB Admin CP and copy the cron task string that it provided, into the definition of the cron job that runs every minute to execute the task in CPanel.
Hopefully this is enough info to help someone else who might run into this issue.
 

Had to disable it on my community also.

Michael, I can set up access for you on my site.  I assume you'll need access to the AdminCP.  Let me work on getting an account set up for you and I'll private message you the login details.  🙂
 

Update 1.05
Changes And Fixes:
Fixed: The bottom advertisement block would display below the Website Footer, this advert block will now display above the footer as expected. Changed: The "Block Settings" tab has changed its order within the form tabs to be the default tab (Settings tab was the previous default tab). This was due to the fact that the "Block Settings" tab is most likely to be the most used when editing the Plug-in settings. Added: Block Type Select Option: There are now three different "Block Types". This is to reflect the different types of content which can be used. WYSIWYG HTML Pages Changed: The original Text Editor (Text Box) has been changed to a WYSIWYG Editor (The Default Editor for IPS). This is to allow easy editing of a block content without the need to know HTML. Added: CodeMirror Editor. The CodeMirror box will allow adding HTML code with coding styles rather than just as plain text. Added: Pages Blocks. You can now add a Pages (CMS) Block by adding the Pages Block template key. So anything that you can dream up using Pages Blocks can be added to the Footer. Please be aware, the Pages Block styling my clash with your footer, so you may have to change the Pages Block Styling to match your Footer stying. Changed: Display This Block options. When de-toggling the 'Display This Block' option within the plugin form, this will hide the other options for this block, this is to keep the form clutter down to a minimum. I would suggest that you back up your data for this plug-in before updating to this version. Just in case.

I used Sendgrid based on the recommendation of the IPS staff and because support is built into IPS. Unfortunately the price of Sendgrid is 10x that of Amazon's SES simple email service. 
I just switched over to Amazon SES and am stuck using the SMTP route rather than via the API because there isn't native support via IPS like there is for Sendgrid. 
I'd like to ask for or vote for IPS adding support for Amazon SES, just like it supports Sendgrid.

Its just affecting different parts of the forums but not other widgets. I have sent you the login details to my ACP through private message.

If this is affecting other widgets then it might be a bigger issue with the theme itself. But if this is just affecting the Messages widget, I'll need a copy of the theme or admin login details to take a look and see what it could be.

@Michael.J - Hi, thanks for the advice, I will look into it.
On a side note, I have a run into another issue with messages app. When enabled, some parts of the forums are narrowed down - http://prntscr.com/ukwjgs
It become proper when messages app is disabled. 

Why is this not possible already? We can merge topics, close them, sticky them, delete them - but there is no way to choose topics from a result set when searching and move them to another category. There really should be a way to do this from a result set that contains topics.

It would really speed up the process of moving topics when new forums are created.

Thanks for the update @stoo2000 🙂

Yes it is fully supported, if you're having an issue you're more than welcome to contact me for assistance.
I am sorry for not replying as often as I should have, the application is very nearly done and should be available this week.
You should see the feedback on the user hovercard, this has been a feature for years. Please feel free to submit a ticket if this is happening for you.

 

I am in the same boat.
