Hi,
 
But we still have orange announcement on the top of the forum ))

If there is no fix button, you have already applied it. 🙂 

Please could you confirm you have applied the patch, and that this is on the default unaltered theme? 

We've just pushed out a patch that should address these issues with appearing to be logged out on first visit.
Please apply it from AdminCP > System > Get Support  - In the 'Invision Community' box, you'll see an optional patch (if applicable to your community).

Thanks for posting - seems like I am not the only one affected by this. I posted my own issues with my install following the last patch/update here:
https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/474315-pii-update-patch-appears-to-have-broken-my-suite-themes/#comment-2944849

Last update destroyed the mobile version of my site
 
I have all plugins disabled, but it doesn't help.
 
I couldn't find in my client area a link to start a case.
 
Please kindly assist.
 
Thank you

We did experience an outage, however it was 6 hours, not 12 hours.
Our status page monitors this forum (which was down for 6 hours) and the US cloud platform (also down for 6 hours). Your screenshot adds them together. 
This doesn't make it right, any extended outage is not ideal, but I just wanted to fact check the 12 hours claim which is double the downtime that occurred.
As Charles said, it is very unusual for us to experience this, so we are incredibly frustrated. Our uptime for 2022 was 100%, and so far this year including this event, it's 99.68% so it really is a very rare occurrence.

It doesn't mean we're being complacent, but it illustrates that this isn't the usual experience.

Thanks Randy,
We're taking this very seriously. More information will follow.

Cool topic, I will express my humble opinion, if possible. 
1) I think a very small number of applications pay off (only a part, of which more than a hundred are bought), so I treat development as a way self-education and have fun. It's definitely not profitable! Big developers stay here because of third-party orders, no more, I think.
2) I think the marketplace is not very important for the IPS, since third-party developers have repeatedly approached with possible improvements, but the staff are kindly silent. One, two and many more..

I’m not judging in any way, just listing some observations about the developer/Marketplace situation in the recent years. 
4.5 tightened the rules drastically. Result: several developers left for good. price increases. Developments needs a self-hosted installation and possibly a demo website. It’s now 850 + 300 annually. Someone starting out as developer really needs some killer products to earn that back and then generate profits. Cloud testing of resources would make it even more expensive (+1,788 annually).  Shift/changes to cloud. The lower tiers don’t have the ability to install third-party products. This decreases the reach and makes running independent third-party shops less useful/profitable.  Signatures turned off. No possibility for passive advertisement through community posts.  Limited compatibility field. Sales can only be created for one version, limiting the income.  I have no magical solutions to offer, but are improvements for this something we could put on the table for 2023?
Currently, I am not very optimistic. We only have a handful of active developers left with continued announcements of departures. If it is still working well for some (?), it’s probably because of a large set of files and existing customers with renewals. But I can’t see how new developers would want to get involved in the current situation, replacing the ones who left or even growing the marketplace. 
I understand the costs and downsides for IPS. Paying for code reviews, chargeback fees and of course all the support issues with third-party resources. But then again: Looking at the broader field of online software: all the big players strive with and in part because of a flourishing third-party marketplace. So, improvement could easily be a “win-win-win” situation for IPS, developers and IPS customers. 
 
(I would have some suggestions myself but I don’t want to push the topic in a specific direction, so I am leaving it at the problem statement for now.)

EpicGames doesn't allow remote requests, always getting httpResponseCode 403 when performing the request.

We were using this plugin for years. It was great.
If someone develops a new "online users" plugin, a lot if people will pay for that.
 
 

I also would like to see this updated for 4.7, it does work on 4.7 and php 7.4 but will probably not work with php 8 - Anyone care to do that or direct me to a plugin that is similar for 4.7?
Thanks

Is anyone able to make this compatible with the latest version of Invision and PHP? It's not been updated in 4 years but it still works on 4.6 for me, however others have had problems since upgrading PHP. @-FP hasn't been active here in over a year 😔
 

I am unsure what you mean. Did you complete the upgrader at /admin/upgrade ?

You're very welcome!

Please try again now. The issue there should be resolved

Excellent. Glad we could be of assistance 🙂 

Are you still having this issue?

You would need to check each of your plugins. If you disable all plugins on your site, mypicks show correctly

Yes, I would advise on disabling all 3rd party items and ads in order to test this first of all. From what you are describing, thats certainly not normal behaviour

on my site there are 2 main packages, one starting at $75 (its has a term of 6 months, and the subscription fee is $30 every 6 months) and then there is the one package which is $95 and then $50 once a year for the subscription. here on IPS it is $75 i believe with a $35 every six month subscription fee. 
I prefer purchases to be on my site, as the license key and renewals are all handled automatically (no delays), but if bought from here, there can be delays (as i am not always available) as it needs to be done manually. 

it's fully integrated into your site, there are no redirects to any of my servers. my servers are only there to facilitate the transfer of messages.
