Embedding community Sign In/Sign Up on my website
Now THAT would be a good question for IPS support. 🙂 Would the 3rd party login links be expected to work when used as an external widget?

Are you still seeing a problem? It all looks correct and appears to work for me. All of the links work AND display correctly for me when the overlay window that is popping up over the IPB widget is closed.

It looks to be your popup signup widget blocking the display. It's overlaying on top of the IPB widget. If I close the overlay, it displays fine. If I close that popup, it looks fine...

Archiving Topics by Printing to PDF
My site has just shy of 2M posts from over 20 years. The post table contains 1.9G worth of data. Basically for every million posts, it is about 1GB of database space for the post table itself. The entire database is 6.5GB... including the conversion mappings for Xenforo -> IPB, keeping a permanent edit log, IP log, etc. Another site has similar metrics in terms of post to storage ratio. Now... attachments, avatars, etc are a whole different story. 😄

It would not be set on the IPS block. It would be set on the block containing it. What's the URL of the page?

Check your CSS code where you placed it. It’s possible you have a fixed height where it can’t use more than that amount of space. I’m guessing the square space container is designed to be a specific height.

How to Change the Word "Forums"
You can edit the language files. ACP - Customization- Localization - Language From there you can translate your English language. The hardest part will be finding the exact language string. If you’re trying to change it site wide though you could just replace ALL references and be done with it. 🙂

Footer
You’re certainly welcome to change that in your theme. 🙂 I personally don’t agree with that, but that’s what the feature request forum is for… make the ask and IPS can figure out if they agree and if/when it makes sense to include with their upcoming planned changes.

Yes, if there is nothing to display…

Website Offline/Renewal Notice Coincidence?
I agree with opentype that it's a coincidence... however you can block outbound requests to remoteservices.invisionpower.com (remember that the IP can change as its using AWS Cloudfront so the IP changes frequently). It's not recommended or supported by IPS to do this. So just saying that for transparency sake.

Website Offline/Renewal Notice Coincidence?
OK. A couple of notes/thoughts: Regarding renewal notices... those notices are sent via email. I understand that you did not find it in your spam folder or inbox... but it's possible your mail provider blocked IPS from sending it. For example, I use Sendgrid for sending email and in looking at the logs... I see about 10% of messages sent specifically to Hotmail end up being rejected by Microsoft because they don't like the Sendgrid IP. The user never got the message, and I know it was sent.... but the destination server refused to accept it. My guess is if it's not in your spam folder or inbox that your ISP blocked its delivery. Regarding Captcha.php... the file never disappeared. That's not what the error is saying. It's saying the file Captcha.php is there, but the class inside of it was not. It could be related to permissions or a cache issue. There's not an easy way to troubleshoot it after the fact. If you actually think it's a problem with the license... block the license server and then re-run all of your tasks related to IPS phoning home. If it happens again, then you have a case to be made and you can work with support.

After update Theme problem
Is this for the beta version or the latest stable version? If it’s the beta, it’s because of an issue with the global template. https://invisioncommunity.com/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=plugins&do=diff You'll see the manual changes you need to make by comparing the stable version to beta. IPS says they’ll add it back in next beta temporarily but you’ll want to get your themes updated anyway.

One of your plugins or applications look to be causing the issue. Disable them all and enable them one by one to find the culprit.

That page does show up. 🙂 So again I would just personally ignore those.

PHP-GD errors after updating to php 7.4 or 8.0
When you install a new version of PHP, it's helpful to also reinstall all of the associated modules. I generally just make it easy for myself and use something like: sudo yum install php php-{pear,cgi,common,curl,mbstring,gd,mysqlnd,gettext,bcmath,json,xml,fpm,intl,zip,imap,gmp,redis} -y (Note: I'm using a vanilla OS without a control panel on an Amazon Linux 2 instance which is like Fedora or Centos) The exact steps would vary depending on your OS, any control panel you use, etc)

Paypal checkout in marketplace
It only accepts PayPal at this time. Sorry.

Database Article
There is nothing wrong with that. The link has been crawled but not yet included in the index. Those are two different operations and can happen at different times. It’s not an error. It’s just a status. There are times that status is even wrong. As Sonya showed, it can be in the search results already even though the console says it’s not.

why is it so difficult to troubleshoot root causes of high server load?
You keep focusing on the activites that are showing disk read/writes. You’re not showing anything that is indicating how many connections are established. What memory is being consumed, what cpu is being consumed, etc. If the system is out of memory and is swapping it would make 100 percent sense that the disk is thrashing.

Have you tested turning off all applications/plugins (in addition to using a clean/default theme which you said you are using)

You can make a feature request in the feature request forum if you would like IPS to consider it. We can only explain what is available today. 🙂

Finding reported content
I just had @Adriano Faria make a plugin for me that allows finding reports by a specific person and about a person. Coincidentally enough it also has the ability to search the text of the report itself and comments on the report. He might even be releasing this to the marketplace soon. (You’re welcome if so, haha.)

member_details table: last_visit vs last_activity
last_visit_date I believe ties to the login function. Remember... someone who has a password stored can have activity that does not match the visit date.
