Pages as homepage vs forum better for SEO?
It depends on what is on that Pages page. The homepage should make it easy for users to get to content. What content do you have outside of forums? How much of that non-forum content is on the forum homepage? If your site is basically 90% forums, the forums app being the homepage makes a lot of sense. If it's 20% of the site, maybe not so much.

Email Change Validation for Existing Members
Required MFA and this problem won’t exist.

Gmail signing statisitic
I have not seen any third party integration really drive up the number of users who register. If users are going to register, they'll do so if they find value in your content. Not simply because of the login methods available.

Invision API & Cloudflare?
I would start by creating a Configuration Rule. And the associated behavior would be something like: Full "off" appears to be only available now under the enterprise plan. (That's changed since the last time I looked at it.) But it looks like it might be enough for what you need. Once you've saved and activated the rule, you need to make sure you flush cache, etc so that any response potentially saved somewhere is cleared.

Invision API & Cloudflare?
I would disable bot protection for the /api/ folder. If that does not work, you can disable WAF entirely for it.

Open bug bounty
If that is the best they got…. Sheesh. Absolutely not worth engaging over.

Misunderstandings and the Monopoly of the Digital Marketplace: Communication Issues with Developers
What exactly do you want IPS to do? This is an issue between you and a third party. There is no reason for them to be involved. It’s not on them to mediate issues you have with third parties. We dont expect Microsoft to mediate issues if you buy third party plugins for Office or applications installed on Windows.

If you check your email it sounds like Daniel was saying they would fix your board manually until they release a full/formal fix.

Is it possible to preview the new version of IPS?
No, but given that there is a public alpha... it would stand to guess that it's not overly far away, but by no means imminent.
-
Is it possible to preview the new version of IPS?
No. It’s not available yet for download. IPS is still working to make sure it’s stable with a fixed environment without also tossing in all of the variables of a self hosted setup. That will come later in the process.

It does not reset. So up and up forever. 🙂

Deleting A Lot of Spammer Users
But again... if they used a legit address, they're already approved and can post. Why would they change their address if they're legitimately a spammer to something else? That's extra work that does not accomplish their goal. Either way, the functionality does not exist in the core software. If you would like it to be considered, your best bet would be to make the suggestion in the feedback forum so that it does not get lost in a sea of support requests.

Deleting A Lot of Spammer Users
No, it does not. But what is the value in doing this? If they’re already past the screening as a spammer, what value is gained by changing to a disposable address to spam when they already have access?

Bulk edit moderators
There is not a way to edit multiple member group permissions at once. Personally I would recommend looking at finding a way to consolidate the number of groups you have!

Trying to comply with Account deletion request - a problem
It’s not the way the IPB software works. It’s always been like that. You can post a request in the feedback forum if you like for it to be considered to be changed.

I changed hosting and site is now in infinite loop
What he said above. The other possibility is an issue with SSL. If your site previously used SSL and it’s not setup on the new host, it could cause issues.

It is not noted in the release notes, so I would venture a guess to say no. And given that releases take several weeks to prep/lock, and that this issue was only confirmed a week ago… I would highly doubt it.- Bluesky
I would not expect anything new in the 4.x line and it’s not in any of the 5.x alphas so far. As a result, I would not expect “near future”.- forums.aaca.org - entire topic gone missing
How easy this is will depend on your configuration settings. ACP > System > Settings > Posting If it's set to "Immediately" or to a day prior to the 31st, the only way to recover it is to have IPB 100% restore your site to a date prior to the deletion. Meaning you would lose all posts/activity that happened since the restore was done. If your settings are configured not to permanently delete content prior to that point, you can restore it from the ModCP. You can restore it yourself. 🙂 Click the checkbox to the right and choose restore.- The forum is down due to an update

Ahhh... then the IPS team will be along shortly to figure it out for you. 😄- The forum is down due to an update
This means the info provided to IPB to connect to the mySQL database is incorrect. (The values are in the conf_global.php file.) You need to work with your host to confirm the username, password, database name, and the server information is correct.- Anyone have luck migrating wpForo 2.3.5 to Invision Community 4.7.17
localhost has nothing to do with where files are stored on the physical hard drive of the server. The username is going to be whatever you use to FTP files up to the server, or whatever credential you use to access to cPanel UI. (Not WHM... the user side of things.) So if your username was "bob", it would be /home/bob/public_html/wp-content/uploads/ That's making the assumption your actual uploads are in the location www.domain.com/wp-content/uploads/. Basically www.domain.com is /home/USERNAME/public_html/ on a default/vanilla cPanel server. But we're not your hosting provider... that's something the host should be confirming for you.- Anyone have luck migrating wpForo 2.3.5 to Invision Community 4.7.17
Do you have proper CHMOD permissions on the uploads folder to allow IPB to read/write files? Also have you tried with a trailing slash on the various options? (with a "/" at the end in case your PHP is being sensitive to it?) - Unsubscribe link not working when using SendGrid for bulkmails
