👍👍 Thanks, that makes a lot of sense.

Not sure why that is a concern to you. Is your host really charging that much that it matters? 

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I don't fully understand your comment. Can you picture a scenario where a forum admin uploads a video file, say 1gig, only to be downloaded by his forum users, and then, say, a rival forum copies the link and lets all his users download the file?  Because I think many self hosted admins would get a quick email from their web-hosting company telling them that they need to upgrade their plan immediately.

And sure, in this particular case, it would be easier to upload the file to youtube and make it unlisted, but change video file to animation project or whatever... 

And, by the way, isn't cloudflare like 200$ a month?? 

Not yet. They're working on it though...

Any updates on this? I upgraded to 4.73b and I'm getting the same error, and I'm still running php 7.4.

Could disabling the calendar be a temporary solution?

Thanks Michael, that's definitely the perfect solution!

Thanks Nathan! 

Unfortunately, the built in announcements look nothing like the IPB announcements though (you need to click on it, no icons etc. really plain, etc): 

I did search, but couldn't find the feature, I thought it was removed!

Where is it?

You know how you get a big message on your forum when there's a new ipb version available? 

Is there a way to send a public message which looks just like that to anyone who visits the forum, member of guests? 

I know there's the guest message widget, but that's only for guests isn't it? 

I do have the "Notices" plugin, but that's got some limitations. 

Fosters, has the issue above been fixed? it's a little disconcerting...

Sometimes I'd like to allow guests to vote (perhaps using ip checking to prevent people voting multiple times). 

Sure, I understand that poll results wouldn't be as trustworthy, but sometimes the whole point of a poll is to encourage people to participate. Also, it is very frustrating for a guest to click on a poll topic only to be told "sorry, you can't read the results...". Yes, this might encourage some to register, but it'd be nice to have the choice of having the option to make polls where we let everyone vote or just registered members.

Fosters, any plans to upgrade this to 4.5? 

Yeah, I must've missed your point and I obviously didn't know what I was talking about either because you didn't understand a single one of my points either. 

Oh well, peace at last. 😉

The big invision upgrade has lasted more than 12 months! When did the first beta come out? but that's besides the point. I'm not talking about your case in particular, but about any app on the market. And from what I've read in this thread, I'm pretty sure TheJackal would be keener to upgrade his app (properly!) if his pricing structure were one which included renewal fees. It's my opinion, that's all. 

Going back to your particular case, I'd request a full refund (and if you paid via paypal and are a regular user, you're quite likely to get it).

If the developer wants to change his pricing structure so that it is renewable, then that's fine – but it seems to me that people should be informed in advance so they can make their own purchasing decisions.

What's so hard to understand about this? You're talking about a product that was released how long ago? 3 years? circumstances change. The developer will make no money whatsoever from his customer-base, because they have all bought it already, so he's not gonna be as keen on polishing his app. Sure, there will be exceptions, but I'd rather have an active developer being rewarded for a product I like than one who can choose to or not to update an app that was made ages ago.

However, when you pay for a third party add-on then there are certain expectations that it will be kept up-to-date especially if the developer is still active and online.
I think there is also a certain expectation that existing customers will at least be informed if support is coming to an end.

Are these kinds of expectations so unreasonable?

In my experience, those expectations are reasonable but unrealistic. There are so many plugins and themes that were never updated that we could write a telephone book with the list... 

I too purchased this, and it was a great app. 

TheJackal: I think you should add a renewal scheme to this app, I'm sure most people who've purchased this app would approve. whenever a new version of ipb comes out, it's a "P.I.T.A" for customers to have to give up the app. We understand that renewing it takes time and work, so it makes sense to add the renewal option, so that there's some incentive for you too, so please consider it. 

Thanks Paul! 👍

It's a feature I used to use a while ago and had forgotten about it! 

Thanks Square Wheels! 👍

I seem to recall that there was a setting in the member group management section where I could choose whether guests could download attachments, but I can't find it.

Has it been removed or is it a setting which can be adjusted on a "per forum" basis? 

Yes, it does! thanks a lot! 👍

Cheers!

Thanks a lot Makoto, very kind of you. (do you get any sleep?? 😃)

I think I see what's happening. If My forum is setup to require a prefix BUT I also click on "Prefix: Users can only choose from a specified set of prefixes", when I new post is created in that forum, a user will not have the option to add a tag as well as a prefix (which I find a bit illogical, as having to pick from a set of prefixes shouldn't really affect the option to add tags also), but I'm sure there's a good reason for this.

I think I've done something wrong. I've created several tags with the "convert tags to prefixes" option activated. I've also created some tags without that option. However, when I create a new thread, I don't get the option to add tags, only prefixes. 

I wish I could use a tag I've created as either a prefix or a tag. 

I uninstalled "AT&P" before installing this.

After installation, I get this error on the Radical tags admin panel and I cannot create tags or anything.

So, just to be clear. If I install this on a board which is currently runing"Advanced tags and prefixes", must that app be enabled or disabled in order for radical tags to be able to detect it and import the current tags and prefixes?

Does this work with 4.5?
