I want to appreciate the Invision Community Staff and creators of the software. Its been a pretty long journey for me with the software. I purchased my first license back in 2007 but loved the look and feel of the software even before that as I saw it on a site I frequented often. The smoothness, the well crafted forum posts. It had nothing on the free forum softwares that I had been using up until that point and it certainly was leaps and bounds better than vBulletin which I always found clunky and busy. To put it extremely lightly, I was infatuated with this software from the first time I used it. To say that I was absolutely flabbergasted when people bailed and went to Xenforo, but I was able to obtain 3 additional licenses for a reasonable price from one of those people, was also an understatement. This genuinely fueled my love and need to use IPS on all of my sites and projects, and I was. It was not long after I obtained those licenses that I upgraded what I consider my biggest site success to IPS and started to expand my network of IPS sites and obtaining a few more small licenses because Pages was quite literally a masterpiece addition and a game changer. Its no small feat to say that I have a lot of licenses that I hold near and dear to me. I honestly can't actually think of a project that I have started for a website that I haven't used IPS for in over the past ten years. I was proud to be able to contribute to the IPS team for the short time that I worked for them before moving onto other opportunities. The staff have been nothing short of understanding and amazing! I don't think I've met more responsive and kind hearted people. I know that I've contacted support in tears because I broke something or something got broken somehow and it was resolved with a speed that I feel should be appreciated. This included times when I was using betas and my entire site was down after upgrades. As such I want to appreciate you all. I unfortunately won't be able to keep up with my licenses as I used to (Thank you Bidenomics) but this will still be my go-to software when things change in my situation. It will continue to be my recommendation for anyone that wants to create a site or community. I just wanted to send my love and appreciation for all that you do and tell you to keep up the good work.

So I went ahead and upgraded to the most recent version but it seems to be missing the forums module. I didn't think anything of it when it said that it was incompatible in the upgrade script (like a dummy, I'm like why would it have a problem with that?) Well it did. I went and downloaded it direct from the site and forums is completely missing from the download. Any help would be appreciated: I went ahead and restored my site back to my backup from yesterday. But help to resolve this so I can upgrade would be great.

When I start a poll that’s exactly the result I’m looking for. I’ve never wanted/needed the statistic that you are looking for/wanting and I feel it’s skewed anyways. If I run a poll and about ice cream and ask about the three traditional flavors and ask what’s your favorite, I’m looking for the overall favorite. Just because a few people have 2 favorites doesn’t mean that chocolate isn’t the overall winner of being the favorite. Sure, in your example chocolate still “wins” but the percentage makes a difference. You can’t put two 100% totals in a pie (or a 50 and 100). That’s two separate pies which essentially is two separate questions: Do you like chocolate (yes) Do you like Vanilla (yes) Those separate questions would be the vote you are looking for as you’re asking them if they simply like it and want a single percentage for each option. I can sort of understand the “why” of what you’re trying to get but again, it’s not really feasible and I think would overall confuse people. “Why is this 150% instead of 100%?”

That’s my point. That’s a survey, not a poll. Polls are best of X. Surveys take into account amount of voters and what they choose even if there is more than one.

I don’t see how that would work. It sounds like if one person votes for option 1 and 2 that it would show 100% on both when really it’s a fifty percent for both options as they chose both equally. A multi-answer poll is intended to allow users to choose more then one option for a majority but with a few possibilities being their choice. The way you are asking for it to be done would be more that each answer is its own 100% vote? Which isn’t how a poll would/should work. Each answer is weighted based on the number of votes it has received.

I couldn't wait for resolution so I reinstalled elastisearch.

I disabled elasticsearch ages ago (over a year ago I think?), not because its not useful but because I hadn't upgraded it and the version I was running wasn't compatible that I knew of as of like 4.0 of IPS. I just tried to upgrade to the latest beta and I'm failing at an error that is associated with elasticsearch. Help? My entire site is now down.

It reads like things were supposed to be more emphasized so I would stop to emphasize it more in my head. NGL I prayed you did it on accident as it was extremely annoying to read. In a way it felt like reading a bad poem in iambic pentameter.

Yes and it works. That's all I cared about. What @Marc Stridgen said its probably the best info.

Most likely the images are missing on the other end of the URL so when you save it the images are attempted to be redownloaded/cached but they aren’t there so they are converted to URLs. Can you confirm the images still exist by clicking the URL?

Thank you!!!

Simple question: Does IPS work with MySql8?

Last I checked when you open the menu it marks all as read... And counting.....

If you have pages you could try adding a custom block with an empty div in it.

It works for people that like those colors. I don't wear the colors provided there unless there is a witty and hilarious joke on it or has a horror character on it (like my wonderful Crystal Lake Running team tank top) and even then I tend toward the more feminine colors. I don't mind repping IPS its just not the color palette of my choice to put on myself. I was just joking around so the comment was all in good fun. @Jordan Miller
