Do guests have permission to see posts in that forum? Are you self hosted or cloud hosted?

The subject line and body text can be edited by editing your language pack. Search for the phrase and change it to whatever you want it to be instead. The "From" address has always been the same as every other email from the board at least for me.

Time flies when you’re having fun!

I just commented in today’s announcement that it would be handy to have the data able to be exported as a widget. Then we could just use it anywhere we wanted… either in a sidebar somewhere or on a dedicated page.

It is not available on self hosted. Matt… this looks great! Super helpful info and a great way to understand our communities more. It would be helpful to consider a way of feeding some of this data into widgets that we can include on the front end. Our members love when I post summaries from this data. For example the number and types of reactions, guests v members, etc. I would love to take a Saved Report and use it as a widget that I could drop into a side bar or a dedicated “stats” page.

This is known as BIMI… Brand Indicators for Message Identification. You can read more about it at: Valimail -How to add your email logo or brand mark to your emails -...Learn everything you need to know to implement BIMI and add your email logo (or brand mark) to your emails in the inbox.Most of the requirements are not too hard to meet (SPF/DKIM/DMARC setup) but the VMC/CMC is going to be the tough part. Those certs are not cheap… like $1000 per year for the privilege of having your logo show up. You would also have to get the site approved/verified by the cert provider who will have their own requirements in terms of if they require a business license, trademark proof, etc. Basically if you try to do this, you’ll jump through a TON of hoops and pay a bunch of money for the cert itself that makes this possible. For 99% of sites, this is too much effort for the small amount of return.

Not sure what this topic has to do with the subject line? I think you already posted this in:

I believe it only runs that task to check for updates every so often. Like every few days.

The biggest change is if you let your license expire for more than X time it can’t be renewed anymore and needs to be bought again. This is to stop those that might say wait 3 years to renew and expect to keep the same price. The software is meant to be a subscription renewed regularly not at random intervals whenever someone decides they want to.

You're not accounting for things such as SSL setup, or setting up the CDN, configuration of mail delivery and a bunch of other things that are required as part of the process. That also does not include the time to test or handle DNS setup, etc. But that's the value of having IPS handle everything... you don't have to worry about all of that. That cost you're paying covers them doing all of the things that need done. And the size itself of the database itself does not really change the time it takes. The database import time is basically wall time, but the majority of tasks are things that have to be done regardless if the site has 1 post or 1 billion posts.

As someone who has done a migration to cloud, I know first hand the time and effort is much more than “15 minutes” of work. All in on migration day itself was around 4-5 hours of work by Marc and the planning part was another 2-3 hours with Olivia. Any migration fee is not a profit center by any means. At the end of the day, you have to look at the TCO of the service including the migration costs. If it’s not worth it for you, stay self hosted. IPS has committed to having that option for v5. I found the service to be well worth it overall.

This code looks like someone ATTEMPTING to use SQL injections through account registrations. It looks like they're trying to register the usernames 1=1 and a few other basic "101 type" attack vectors that would allow execution of unintended SQL commands. These don't work in Invision Community and is not a valid attack vector. Honestly this looks like a script kiddie who does not know what the scripts actually do or how to use them.

I’m going to get @Olivia Clark a new whip for Christmas this year. She clearly needs it with all the efforts to keep everyone in line and on time!

No, it's not possible. IPS is not hosting your media for them to be able to scan. As noted elsewhere in this topic, you can look at leveraging Cloudflare to do something similar on your own if you wish. It's not part of the AI scanning. It's done for all cloud hosted accounts automatically.
