Before upgrading to the latest software version whenever anyone used the quote thing on my forums it would shorten it to about two lines and then you could click to see the whole thing

Since upgrading it's gone back to just quoting the whole thing meaning you have to scroll all the way through the quote before replying

Anyone know how to get it back to shortened quotes?

If you’re with the same host as I think they helped me change from myisam to innodb (a few years ago) but I’ve been in that situation where I was stuck in the middle many times with them.

Yeah that's them

I think I'm going to disable strict mode, make the change and then re-enable strict mode

Can't think of anything else to do

Likelihood is that InnoDB strict mode is set to on - ask your host to check, and set it to off if so, then run the operation.

Thank you - spoke to the hosts and they just said it's not a supported thing so I'm on my own - so going to do it anyway! 

Thank you - yeah nothing on Google

What's frustrating is I'm not techy enough to solve this one, Invision are like 'yeah that's a hosting issue so we can't help' and the hosting are 'Your server's working fine and as it should be, your invision software is the cause of it so speak to them'

AGGGGHHHHHHH 🤣

I have two Invision forums and the issue I'm going to mention is the same on both forums

So I went into my AdminCP the other day to check out the new 'site health dashboard of the latest version (which is excellent I might add!)

In AdminCP I have no critical issues showing but I do have a few showing as 'important issues' so I thought I'd remedy and sort that

So the first one I wanted to sort was the important issue showing in the 'database' section where it says to me that I have 'non-InnoDB tables'

I then go to my hosting server CPanel and into PHPMyAdmin, then into my database, then one by one I find the tables that were MyISAM, clicked 'operations', and changed the storage engine to InnoDB

Everything went perfectly well and all tables changed easily to InnoDB until that is I tried to do this with the ibf_core_sessions table. Every single time I try to change to to InnoDB it gives me the error

Then..

If I click the 'details' link I get this..

Invision say they can't help as it's not an issue with the software but with the hosting

My hosting says I need to speak to Invision as it looks like an upgrade or something could have failed and broken the structure of the site 

So I'm stuck

I'm stuck in the middle unable to change the one table from MyISAM to InnoDB

What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?

No way would Facebook (or any other proper company) ask for your credentials in an email

Check if mod_security is enabled on your hosting; if it is, disable it.

Thanks!

Do I need mod_security enabled for anything else or is it not required for the forums?

I can change all other tables from MyISAM to InnoDB but when I try to do it with the Ibf_core_sessions table it gives me the following error:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access this resource.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Yes it has, you'll need to go to https://invisioncommunity.com/clients/purchases/ and renew it 🙂

Thank you so much!
I couldn't work out for the life of me how to do it or where to go to do it!
Why on earth can't invision put that renewal thing in the ACP where the app actually is!

Hey @stoo2000,

I'm totally stuck right now
I am trying to upgrade to the latest version but it just keeps saying 'something is wrong'

I have no idea if my purchase is current and still working either - it could be that - could you help?

Yeah I think something is server side writing it like you say

Not sure how to spot it though

The actual forum is fine - so must be a file on the server

So when you go to google.com and type in your website name (e.g. 'travelfforums') and the results come up, instead of it saying 'travelforums.co.uk and then 'travel forums for discussing all things travel in the Uk and beyond' it says 'travelforums.co.uk and then 'ED is not something that may last forever for men living in Malaysia. Just order kamagra malaysia - generic sildenafil citrate for cheap price and obtain awesome pills'

I go onto Google, type my website name in and the search result shows my meta description has been taken over by spammers (I'd recommend everyone to check for the same thing)

Any idea how I can get it back to the description of my site and not an advert for pills?

Hmmmm I don't have that

Just checking my Admin CP I can't spot the setting either

This is my biggest bugbear with recent invision releases

There used to be a tick box and a 'select all' option

You could just click 'select all' then 'delete'

It saved hours of admin team time

I can't find out how to see users previous usernames after they've changed it - can anyone point me to where I can find this?

Would that mean I'd not be able to use Redis again in the future?

I've updated to the latest invision version now but can't update to the latest PHP version

I go in to change the PHP version and the site goes down completely (even admin section) with this:

 

An error occurred (500 Error)

So I've upgraded to the latest version but now can't change the PHP version as it throws up the same exact error

So here's my issue
If I do a system check before doing the upgrade it comes back with this:
 

When I try upgrading the PHP version everything crashes with a Redis error

Anyone know how I can fix this issue?

👍

What does this plug in do? 

Perfect thank you so much for that!

I'd  really like to do this

Is that at Paypal end or the sites?

 

Hi,

My subscribers want to set up recurring payments for Paypal to subscribe to my site as they don't want the hassle of renewing every month etc

Is there a way to do this?

Thank you so much - I did try searching but obviously not well enough!

I've recently put in place Subscriptions for the first time but after a free months trial nobody is receiving any kind of PM or email to say that their trial is up and any message to them on how to pay to keep the subscription going?
