Thanks for letting us know - we'll get that fixed 👍

Actually, you can uncheck this:

My understanding is that you cannot generate a client ID without a paid developer account and an iOS app in the App Store, and it would have to be unique to each site (i.e. our upcoming app which is used for every community won't be able to be used).

There's no particular reason you have to give Commerce the correct weight. For example, for any items which exceed the "large letter" dimensions, just tell Commerce that it weighs 1kg, even if it weighs less.
Alternatively, you can use EasyPost.

Hm... looks right here:

Are you sure you don't have a customisation that could be causing it? If you submit a ticket we can take a look.

And you definitely want to prevent sending out hidden posts, posts in any forums normal users can't see, etc.
If you're using PHP, you can use the \IPS\forums\Topic\Post::getItemsWithPermission() function. Alternatively, use the REST API setting "hidden" to 0 and "forums" to the ones you want to include.

Yes. To put Stripe into test mode you need to use the test mode API keys from your Stripe account.

Just to note on the test gateways one: some providers (off the top of my head, I think Stripe is the only one) don't use that constant but give you different keys for test/live environments.
Those two (emails and gateways) are the big ones, but there are probably quite a few others. For example, every now and again we get people who have managed to block themselves in our Spam Defense service by registering several accounts on a test site. Really you should avoid using any live data (like real people's emails) and disable all integrations with external sites/services on a test install.

Weird flex, but ok. Lots of people also like and enjoy the instant notifications. You do you, but as a forum admin, I’m not sure why you’d not want features that people can selectively enable to increase their engagement with your community. 

You are focused on what you do and what works for you. Broader user trends are different. As @opentype noted above, it is true that anecdotally there’s lots of people who actually prefer to not have push notifications enabled, or who maybe prefer email. However, it’s obtuse to not recognize that the broader market has moved to a place where engagement is massively increased with native push notifications. Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram, snapchat, etc etc have all essentially built their broader advertisement based business model around keeping eyeballs in the app and on the screen to increase advertising metrics. There is no better method to increase eyeball time than native notifications. They’ve already figured this out, shockingly around the same time that traditional forums started their engagement and retention decline. 🧐

I suspect most of us like having users who keep our communities viable. >50% of mine use iOS to access via mobile browser. I don’t give a sh*t about android vs iOS or people’s inane fanboyism, I just want to service my users. 

To clarify since @Joel R mentioned me specifically... 😂
We will be sticking with CKEditor 4 for a little while. While we will presumably move to CKEditor 5 some time in the future, it is currently still very new and maturing (when Joel asked me, it was before 5.11.2.0 was released which is when they re-added paste from word). But most importantly, to move would require a lot of development time (to upgrade our custom plugins) for what will be, to the end-user, very little change. And since CKEditor plans to continue releasing updates to version 4 for the foreseeable future we're not missing out on bug fixes or security patches.
Obviously if you're experiencing issues, please submit a support ticket and we can look into that - if you're not seeing the same problems on CKEditor's demo, the problem is likely our end and so it's probable that moving to CKEditor 5 wouldn't resolve it.

IMO your efforts would be much better spent ensuring you do have access to restart Elasticsearch (which only takes seconds if not minutes at the most). It would take much much longer to rebuild MySQL search index from scratch, and even if you do have it constantly rebuilt as a backup you would lose the huge space savings in your database by moving to Elasticsearch in the first place.
I do however agree though a more graceful error message should be given (e.g. Search temporarily unavailable" instead of returning 0 results, which could be frustrating)

Bitcoin is gaining popularity very fast and it would be good if the IPS Commerce would support it. Either via Stripe or another integration?
1 Bitcoin is currently worth $4662 right now. This is the Bitcoin chart over the years.

Everything should transition fine (though note that posts convert in the background after upgrading). I would not recommend running those queries, some are far too broad in scope and many will interfere with the correct converting of post data.
If, after upgrading, and posts have finished converting, you are experiencing issues, please submit a support request so we can figure out what's happening and include a fix in the software itself if necessary.
