    All of the app_scanner references are because of the extra level of debugging added. They're not a problem and IPS has already said they're lowering the level of debug data in a future release.

    Captcha alone wonā€™t solve this problem unfortunately. Itā€™s super easy to solve it once manually and then trigger a bunch of automated attempts afterwards.

    Theyā€™ve ā€œearnedā€ that avatar after all of their time. Haha The avatar is not necessarily a corporate badge that gets turned in upon leaving. (But then againā€¦ Iā€™m most likely not the right person to ask as I may or may not have taken a couple of extra pens from the supply closet in my timeā€¦)

    Ultimately removing the script is all the proof you need. Ad networks are tremendously bad for site speed. Itā€™s literally the cost for monetizing your site. The code while it may have loaded in 258ms stops all other code from working in parallel because it says it is the most important thing. It is like saying you have 10 cashiers in a store checking people out but any one cashier sees a specific person ALL of them have to stop and wait for that one person to finish checking out because it might be necessary later. Some ad networks are worse than others for performance but even Adsense kills page load times unfortunately.

    You can literally override any style defined by IPS as well as create your own in the custom.css. šŸ™‚

    The question is if you want a managed service where you just want to USE the tool or if youā€™re wanting just ā€œhostingā€. If you donā€™t want to worry about things like if the platform meets the requirements of the software or if it is optimized to work with your setupā€¦ the Invision offering makes this a no brainer. If you want to have your fingers on the controls over things like PHP and MySQL or if you want to run scripts that are NOT IPBā€¦ youā€™re most likely better remaining self-hosted and just finding a provider that meets your needs. At the end of the day there is no right or wrong answer. It is simply what makes sense for you and your community. šŸ™‚

    If you look at post historyā€¦ Marc was starting the day off around 9 hours ago at 5am ET. šŸ™‚

    FTP access is not provided. For cloud hosting this is not really needed. There is a file uploader in the ACP that can add files. You can also leverage an AWS S3 bucket and upload files to it. IPS does not provide email hosting services. I personally use Office 365 for email. You could use Google Workspace or any other email hosting service.

    In terms of performance, there are a number of performance enhancements that are being rolled out in the next few updates. Charles posted about them here: In addition, IPS offers hosting out of Europe now. So that should help quite a bit in terms of performance as well!

    You canā€™t in the base solution. However check out:

    Invision does not provide a CUSTOM domain for you to use. If you would like your own unique domain name, you'll need to buy it. If you don't have a custom domain, you'll get something like: k321847.invisionservice.com

    @Jon Erickson do you know if this will run on IPS CIC?
  13. Randy Calvert
    My max upload size on this site is 48.83 MB. Are you at your storage limit and need to delete files to stay under the 50MB limit?
  14. Randy Calvert
    I believe in the past he mentioned he was self hosted. If soā€¦ The limit for file uploads is determined by your php max file size value. Check with your hosting provider to see what their limit it. Secondarily check the size limits for each group in the ACP.
  15. Randy Calvert
    Do you have some sort of firewall on your site/server that is possibly blocking it from reaching IPS servers?
  16. Randy Calvert
    Since youā€™re cloud hosted, just drop a ticket in the client area and the staff can help. If you were self hosted, you would just edit the conf_global.php file I. Your root directory.
  17. Randy Calvert
    Download the IPB files from your client area and manually upload them to your website. Then run yourdomain.com/admin/upgrade.

    Stupid question ā€¦ does this happen in php 7.4? Iā€™m wondering if this is a php 8/8.1 issue.
  20. Randy Calvert
    You could have done it from the forum area as well. ACP > Community > Forums > Forums Click the arrow down icon and choose Permissions. (Remember... a container needs permissions too!) When you need to edit a group's permissions on a bunch of forums, the first way I mentioned will save you LOTS of time. šŸ˜„
  21. Randy Calvert
    Have you looked at your member group permissions to say what each group can do in each forum? ACP > Members > Groups. Click on the Permissions button (the lock icon) for each group.
  22. Randy Calvert
    Yes. If a one use block is removed, it can be readded again. It would return as showing in the block manager.
  23. Randy Calvert
    Don't use the Text widget. It is meant for literally only text.... meaning no styling or links, etc. Instead use the WYSIWYG editor. It will give you the same editor that you use when making posts, which by default includes the ability to create links.
  24. Randy Calvert
    Not without some sort of custom development work.
  25. Randy Calvert
    Did you setup your .htaccess file? It might get missed as some systems treat that like a hidden file. You can search htaccess in the ACP and download/rename it.
