If you're going to list 20k forums, you're talking about a page that would scroll FOREVER and a bad user experience.

While I don’t know the plan for wiki style editing, Pages itself is not deprecated. In fact, Pages gets a bunch of nice enhancements in 5.x and is not going away anytime soon. Also the official depreciation tracker is here: https://invisioncommunity.com/deprecation-tracker/ It does not mention anything about the wiki style editing being removed, so I would venture a reasonable guess to say it’s not scheduled for removal. In terms of “5 years”, it’s next to impossible to say what will happen in that time. As far as we know, aliens take over the world in 4 years! IPS is focused on releasing 5.0 and not 5.5. So I would not expect them to comment on things that far out and I doubt they have any real plans that far anyway. 🙂

What you’re looking to do is not possible in the base software. htaccess is not aware of a logged in user credential or permission so it would not work. You would need some sort of third party resource to do what you want.

You can block single IPs or blocks of IPs through .htaccess but that’s completely not associated with IPB. Thats a server level function. https://htaccessbook.com/block-ip-address/

While I was still self hosted, I 100 percent set it up outside of IPB. If you’re using a control panel like cpanel, Plesk or DirectAdmin, they’ll do it for you. There is nothing that IPS can do that would make it easier because even if they generated a DKIM private key for you, it could not be installed. If you actually need help generating the private key, instead of having IPB do it … there are tons of generators online. https://powerdmarc.com/dkim-record-generator/ You’re asking IPB to do the equivalent of configuring your mail server. These are the high level steps for setting up DKIM: Generate a key pair: You can use your email service provider or DNS management platform to generate a unique cryptographic key pair for your domain. The tool you use will depend on your operating system. 1. Create a TXT record: Add the public DKIM key as a TXT record in your domain's DNS settings. — This is gone with a generator like above. 2. Configure your email server: Enable DKIM signing in your email server or sending platform. — This is done by your control panel or hosting provider (or via SSH root). 3. Test your setup: Verify that DKIM signing is turned on and that DKIM authentication is working. — This is done by you. There is no step in this process where IPB can be realistically inserted in a valuable way. DKIM is not “inserted” into emails. It’s done by the mail server as a signature from what actually sent it. It’s added by your mail server not the raw sent message. Once DKIM is setup, it applied to ANYTHING sent by the mail server for your domain including other PHP scripts your site. Think of it as an hosting account (or root) level function and not a script level function.

DKIM has nothing to do with the software. It’s a server level / DNS level function. This is technically impossible for IPS to do for self hosted customers.

This did not happen on my upgrades.

When you login to the ACP, is there any activities listed in the background processes section of the dashboard?

I’ve noticed if it’s an account with a lot of posts, merging accounts sometimes show up as guest until the process 100 pct finishes. Have you confirmed the merge activity is actually fully complete. Moving to the new account looks to be the last thing done.

In looking at the IPB API, it looks like you can get the last login date/time from it. https://invisioncommunity.com/developers/rest-api?endpoint=core/members/GETitem You could have a script created that checks members and then uses the same endpoint as a post to change the member group ID.

As @teraßyte noted, promotion rules do not just run on some automatic schedule. Instead they run when a pre-determined action is run. This means the rule you want would not trigger because the user never actually logs in. The login would trigger the move from A to B. There is no way to move someone from B to A simply for not logging in. This would require some sort of third party modification to do.

This is not something in the IPB 5 alpha so far. So I would not expect it in 5.0.0 when it's eventually released. While it does not exist today, that does not mean it won't be considered later, thus Marc's "currently" comment. IPS generally does not talk about its roadmap until it's very close to finished. So I would not expect them to comment about it now or anytime really soon. They're going to be heads down focused on getting 5.0 out the door. The best suggestion for now would be to make a request in the feedback forum.

From that screenshot, you are not even using 60 processes. So take from that what you will…

There is no way to say what value to use. This depends on your server resources, how PHP is used (CGI, FPM, etc), and what else the server is doing. IPS cannot tell folks how to specifically configure their server. Instead individuals are recommended to know how to manage and troubleshoot their server or use the IPS cloud solution which would not require configuring things like Apache, PHP, mySQL, etc.

Titles of clubs are (or can be) user generated. As a result, this is not possible. (It would be the same reason why each post made by a user could not be translated automatically.)

Glad it worked for you!

IPS does not officially support nginx, however there are htaccess to nginx converters out there online. An example is: https://www.getpagespeed.com/apache-to-nginx However as this is not something IPS helps troubleshoot or support. There are several people who have successfully converted the htaccess however based on searching the forums here.

If you are planning to upgrade to IPB5… there is no longer a concept of a-la-cart modules. All of them will be included. If you are planning to stick with IPB 4, click the contact us link at the bottom of the page and submit a request to the account teams.

I’m glad you got it squared away! 🙂

You should be able to login to the ACP without a htaccess by going to just domain.com/admin. Once logged into the ACP, you can download/upload it. (Just make sure after it’s uploaded, it’s named “.htaccess” where the period is at the start of the file name.

When an admin sets a default language, that’s the language that will show if someone is not logged in or if the user has not implicitly selected a language. Once a user chooses a language, as long as they’re logged in, that language choice will be honored. (The same is true for themes as well.)

There is no sort of admin notification if someone opts out of notifications.

No, it has not.

Yup. Working as expected. All is good. 🙂

Have them try a different device (tablet, etc). Does it still happen for them? Are they using a very old version of iOS (non supported version)? It could be a VPN or other software running on the device as well.
