Holidays (especially 4 day weekends) have been a super common attack time for my financial services customers for over a year. We actually have betting pools for what customer and what time! Attackers know when organizations are likely to be running on a skeleton crew and try to take advantage of it unfortunately.

And here it is… a Saturday afternoon on a holiday weekend. Attackers love to ruin weekend plans! This is a fantastic confirmation of value!

Do we get to pick?!

Crack the whip, Olivia! Keep the guys in line.

The April showers are almost done!

IPS is not "detecting" anything. It's being notified of bounces and they're taking action based on that notification of a bounce or email marked as spam. In the IPB cloud, IPS gets notices via an API call when emails are bounced or marked as spam from AWS. (This is because all email is sent from "[email protected]".) When a message then bounces, it goes to AWS and AWS sends the notification to IPS to take action on it. In a self-hosted environment, most email providers don't provide a way of pushing bounces to an API endpoint for IPS to process. That means nothing ever reaches the software for them to potentially take action on.

Jordan had an incredible opportunity come up working for Amazon that was too good to pass up. Details are in the last hump day…

Good enough to come back??

This is great! One suggestion however... a user would not know they're being blocked unless the person happened to stumble into their email settings. In my experience, this is very unlikely to happen. Users don't check there often (or at all). They may not even realize there is a problem or realize email has not been seen by them in a while to know to investigate. Could you add some sort of front-end notification as well? The red stripe could literally just be the email settings page you linked above where you explain the problem and ask the user to update their email.

ACP > System > Smart Community > Features Then click on Settings under the Live Topics space. Set the groups that can host and moderate live topics. Once that is done, hosts can find the option in the ModCP.

Happy Easter! Hope you have a fantastic weekend!

Omg…. False tease!

No. This is not an IPB limitation, but one from the mobile device itself. Per https://web.dev/learn/pwa/progressive-web-apps/: On iOS and iPadOS, PWAs are only installable if the user is using Safari. That means that users won't install PWAs if they use different browser apps, such as Google Chrome, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge. On both Android and iOS, users can't install PWAs from many in-app browsers, such as Facebook Mobile Browser, Instagram, Google Search App, or Gmail.

14 was mine as well (including spaces) and it just barely made it.

What version of iOS are you on? You have to be on 16.4 (just released March 27th) for PWA push notifications to work.

Charles started saying something about "downloads"... would someone else like to say just a few words more? 😄

Open the PWA... the bell appears when you click the hamburger menu. Click that bell, and then "Notification Settings". Make sure push notifications are enabled. (You need to do this per device.) Finally make sure you have specific notifications set for what you want pushed.

PWAs was recently added in the last release. Has it changed you started interacting with the site? What are you thinking about next for this front?(Jump to the answer in the video)

From within the PWA... click on the bell, and then notification settings. Make sure push is enabled for the PWA itself.

If you're literally just using it to test something for a few days... I think you can just create a trial account and use it. https://invisioncommunity.com/clientarea/free-trial/

Long term, one of the things I'm hopeful IPS will consider is automatic image optimization. This would help reduce bandwidth and storage utilization, AND how much IPS needs to pay AWS each month. It could improve the user experience by resizing the image based on the device itself needs. (For example, a desktop might get the full size image... but a mobile device might get sent a file that is 1/3 the size.)

IPS automatically does daily backups of all cloud accounts. There is not the ability to do an "on demand" backup at this time.

Yesterday was peak bloom in the Washington DC area for the Cherry Blossoms and it was near 80 degrees! Talk about an incredible day! I love spring and I love the chance to sit outside and have dinner with a gentle breeze rolling by. Thanks for this update! The format is great with here’s what’s next, what’s following it, and what is in the pipe.

Understood! That screenshot is EXACTLY where I was hoping that report would be! It makes complete sense for it to be there and gives us the ability to apply other filters such as non-deliverable in a specific member group, or last activity date. So that's very helpful! If I might make a suggestion for a subsequent iteration... users RARELY go into their account settings. In fact, they may never even notice they're no longer getting email from us at all. It would be very helpful to have a way of more prominently notifying a user of the problem. I would suggest displaying a message similar to the announcements feature's "above page content" or at the very top of the page. You could display a red bar that has a warning that there is a problem with email delivery. At that point you can simply drop them on that revised page to update their email address. If emails are not being received, they can no longer self-service reset passwords, they may miss important announcements, etc. So it's important they're aware of that issue ASAP. I personally suggest it would always display until the issue is resolved and not allow it to be dismissed by the member.
