moved by host to bigger vps, now have this error
I would delete all of the IPS Default ones. Then create a new one and set it as a default. That way you know for sure which one is which.

Service Unavailable The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance...
It’s a system problem. I know your host is saying it’s not, but it is.

How to change temporary url to domain I purchased from Godaddy
Are you self hosted or hosted by IPS? If self hosted, you would change your conf_global.php file to reflect the new URL and then clear the system cache in the ACP support area. If hosted by IPS, just open a support ticket and they’ll get you squared away.

Migration tool ?
You download the converters when you download the software from the client area. There will be a checkbox that you would click to include the converters when you download the software. (It’s not a standalone package.)

Spam Prevention Question
The plugins that are recommended are done by folks that live/breath spam mitigation across forums, Wordpress sites, etc. IPS spam filtering system is a side project that is done in conjunction with the full suite development. So I think you’re thinking about this backwards… where some of the third parties can do more because that’s all they’re doing instead of doing it as part of dozens of other projects and where it’s not something that is DIRECTLY revenue generating.

Awstats (Cpanel) showing that people are accessing this page on my forum (370000 hits)
https://invisioncommunity.com/offline You appear to have the wrong URL. 😉 I just checked my own community and have confirmed that domain.com/offline exists and has seen hits. I also see that page if I turn off networking, etc.

False notifications in 4.7.4
Glad you got to the bottom of the issue. 🙂

False notifications in 4.7.4
Have you confirmed with phpinfo? Typically after editing php.ini, you need to restart your web server for the change to be picked up.

Make Community VIEW ONLY?
If you do it from the group permissions, it's MUCH easier to do. ACP > Members > Members > Groups Find the group and click the Permissions icon (it looks like a lock)

Spam Prevention Question
You can delete it... nothing "breaks" if you remove the account. But that means that email or username could possibly be used again. Personally I use CleanTalk to help reduce spam on my site. It blocks a LOT of bad stuff. It's not perfect, but it stops 80-90% of it. It's $12 a year, so not a high cost at all and does a pretty good job.

Help with fixing database before update
It looks like the host is just serving the raw files instead of parsing PHP properly. The host needs to fix your instance to properly parse PHP files.

CSS not loading in a local work environment on mac os
Also... I personally just use MAMP. It handles everything itself pretty well where you can just load up files in the document root and go. It's a heck of a lot easier than managing my own local installation (especially for switching between different versions of both Apache, PHP, etc.).

CSS not loading in a local work environment on mac os
What user is Apache/PHP running under? That's what should have file ownership.
-
CSS not loading in a local work environment on mac os
It sounds like it's an issue where Apache/PHP does not have proper permission to write to the file location. You might want to look to make sure it can not only read files in that folder but can also write to them.

CSS not loading in a local work environment on mac os
This is technically outside of IPB's realm of support (making a site work on a local device)... with that said however, what does your browser console say when loading the resource? What happens if you directly try to access the file?

google analytics question
Google Analytics is what is known as "object based analytics". It only is downloaded/triggered when something downloads the GA javascript. Bots (such as Googlebot itself), automated processes, etc don't download/trigger this and are never counted in it's analytics. IPB is counting how many raw pages it delivered. It's the "real" number of actual pages delivered.

Group searching via front-end should honor secondary groups
You would think so but it does not

Downloading 4.7.3 - upgrade issues
IPS does not make older versions of the software available. If you’ve not previously downloaded it, you can only upgrade to the latest version.

PM, Quote, and Reply not working on Motorola Edge 5G UW (2021)
Tell them to get a non broken phone? Or have them reach out to their phone manufacturer support team to see if there is a fix available that can be installed. You might have them try a different browser as well.

Change somethings on emails notifications
Edit the language pack you’re using. You can search for the string and replace it with what you want.

Enable member groups to change of theme - where is the setting for that ?
In the theme settings, you choose which groups can use that theme. ACP - Customization - Theme Pick the theme and edit it. Set which members are allowed to use that theme.

Question about changing the background color/font color of a "button"
I do love green sparkles! 💖

Typing button
You need to be hosted by IPS directly. It is not available to self hosted installations as the real-time system requires modules not found in a traditional LAMP stack found on most hosting environments.

Continue support of some of my Marketplace resources
This was discussed in a different topic. Unless the resource is an application or plugin, it would not be supported in marketplace. The suggestion was to attach the file to a forum post.

How to setup google search console/ Bing webmaster?
This is not specific to IPB and is something you would normally need to ask Google or Bing. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9008080?hl=en https://www.bing.com/webmasters/help/add-and-verify-site-12184f8b Each has multiple ways of verifying a site, including making a DNS record, adding a meta tag, creating a page with a specific filename, etc.
