  1. Thanks

    Great work @The Old Man I never thought I was going to solve that one 😄!
    Although I feel now I've seen how it should be, my fears are true in that its just not updating for the guest.
    See example, live site:

    Cached guest site

    General chat, it is not updating. As I post this now, its been 5 minutes since the general chat last post was made, but its not changing for the guest. This is why I previously set a guest page cache of 30 seconds.
    So now I have to turn it off 😞

    I have had members say its loading faster (mainly those outside of UK) so maybe its helping still.

    Thanks for that @The Old Man
    When my site was sluggish the other day, it was during a busy few hours. I wasn't sure whether the increase of visitors was slowing things down (it didn't previous to Cloudflare). It's been loading fast again since then though.
    Why would Cloudflare not be caching pages? I believe I have it all set up to cache, I have the settings that @Jim M posted the other week set up exactly like that. Also in my Cloudflare it suggests it is caching a fair bit.

    For the cookie consent, if you mean the privacy policy pop up on first viewing the site that is provided by the ad company and I see that identical one on quite a few other sites as well.
    I have noticed that I have my ad code in globaltemplate below the analytics code, maybe that could be swapped but I always thought the ad code should display just before the end of the </head>

    Think of the data flow like this:
    End User —> Cloudflare —> Origin
    In a reverse proxy scenario, there are two legs to address… End User to CF. (This is the “edge”.)  A user’s request actually terminates there and CF handles this encryption. 

    But there is also the communication between CF and your server.  (This is the “origin”.)  If a request is not in cache or not allowed to be in cache (like for a logged in user), CF will have to retrieve it from origin. 

    In this case, your origin server is responsible for SSL. If you have a valid cert, and plan to keep a valid cert on the origin… you can use full encryption. It’s saying both legs of the trip MUST be properly encrypted. If not, throw an error. 

    Flexible SSL says only the communication between User to Edge must be encrypted fully (which CF takes care of) but that for the back half of the journey, you don’t HAVE to present a valid cert. You can but it’s not required. Cloudflare will ignore certificate warnings or if a cert if not presented. 
     
    The reason this setting exists is to help mitigate potential Man-In-The-Middle attacks. If you don’t have SSL enabled, something between you and the server (or something between CF and your server) could possibly read the request if it wanted to because it’s not encrypted. 

    For small gaming sites, this may not matter. But if you were handling sensitive financial transactions, you might want to ensure full encryption for the entire request flow instead of just one part of it. 

    So you don’t HAVE to use “Full” encryption. You have the option to do so since you have a valid certificate. If you however did not have a certificate at origin, you would get an error if you used “Full” since it would be impossible to fully encrypt the request flow on both segments. 

    Regarding the ORIGIN section of the SSL area, you can ignore it. It allows you to import your own self signed SSL certs or for you to use a CF provided origin cert at origin. (That cert is only trusted by CF, not regular browsers.)  It’s only needed by those that actually sign their own SSL certificates instead of using ones issued by full certificates issuers (called Certificate Authorities or CA’s).

    You are unable to upload PHP files as you are a cloud customer, and this is not traditional hosting. What is it you are trying to achieve?

    Is anyone able to make this compatible with the latest version of Invision and PHP? It's not been updated in 4 years but it still works on 4.6 for me, however others have had problems since upgrading PHP. @-FP hasn't been active here in over a year 😔

    If I don't have any forums set up for solved/unsolved then the Solved option shouldn't appear in Unread content, it would help if this menu was less busy without adding more catagories especially when not relevant.

    You need to make it easier to share on social media, just simply being able to add meta images to topics and then that image showing in social media in the embedded link would help no end. Right now it just uses the default share icon for every topic, its so restricted.
