I would give him a chance! 😄
Yes:

Thank you sir....not sure about the developer though - you think he's trustworthy? 😉
And just so I can say I asked: this works perfectly well in Clubs?

Oh yes, I do. 
 

Thanks for the info Adriano, and in fact I had no idea there was a marketplace resource for this (although of course these things are always better baked into the Core).  Do you happen to remember what it's called?

I know it’s a feature suggestion for the Core and you probably already know but there’s a marketplace resource to accomplish that just in case you don’t want to wait.

I think it would be great if, as Admin, I could manually have members (or perhaps even groups?) Follow a forum, Club, gallery, etc. using the existing Follow menu with an added admin-only option.
I use the Clubs module to create private spaces for my work with clients, and thus it's essential that they receive notification when I post or reply in their spaces. It's easy enough to show them how the Clubs components work, but it would save some time (for me anyway) if, as Admin, I was able to manually add them.  Basically, if I don't show them how to click Follow they won't do it (which poses issues for time-sensitive projects).  I can always log in as a member and click Follow to add them, but this would save lots of time in the end.
I don't know if there might be privacy issues regarding this, but the way I see it there are theoretically more privacy issues involved with my logging in as member X and clicking Follow anyway!

I think I've mentioned this before, but since one can add a member to a campaign from the adminCP, it might also be very useful to be able to remove a member from a campaign there as well.

Hello,
This has been in the back of my mind for a while now: for the IP address information screen, do we really need a grid layout of big honkin' numerals for display name changes, reports, registrations, etc. (which in some cases extends a fair ways down the page)?  Personally, I find that because the layout is so distracting it's a bit more difficult to track down specific information (I end up looking not for the headings, but at which numbers aren't 0).
Could I suggest something a little plainer and more direct, like an alphabetised list of IP use cases followed by the number of instances?  Maybe those values which aren't 0 could be boldfaced so they stand out?
Just a thought.  Thanks!

Well...  still a 3rd party issue, but able to be fixed by IPS!  They should technically not be calling the method that way even though it's "works".  😇

scroll to the area of Recovery Mode you can add that to your constants.php
 
 
 

I will probably do this until retirement, so we've got at least 20 years to go. 🙂 
Or unless I marry rich. Seems unlikely. And even then I'd probably work or I'd go crazy.

Thanks to @Ocean West and @Myr for their input, and to @All Astronauts for the solution!  There was a plugin which needed updating - I had checked it in the Marketplace, and the revisions said something about "errors >=4.6.10" but it said nothing about errors related to upgrading, so I left it.
I assumed it wouldn't make any difference because only the system files were being upgraded and hey, why would any other apps/plugins need to be interacted with anyway?  Oh, did I mention I'm not a developer?
Anyway, I upgraded the plugin in question and the upgrade ran fine.  Thanks!

Hello,
I just tried upgrading my test site to IPB 4.6.10 (twice) and both times I've received the same result: after downloading and extracting the upgrade file(s), my site throws an HTTP Error 500 and is completely unusable.  My only alternative at this point is to restore a backup.
I've read recent posts by people with similar issues involving mismatched apps, but I don't think this is the case for me as I don't even get to the point where it starts updating anything - it's the file extraction process which craps things out.
Anyone else had this (or something like this) happen?

scroll down to recovery mode
 

There is probably a third-party app that has a hook on \IPS\Dispatcher directly (and not on \IPS\Dispatcher\Front or Admin instead). This is crashing new code IPS has in the init.php method in this latest version. You are a bit stuck until you figure out which app/plugin it is though. 
You'll need to look at core_hooks table, and then look at the 'class' column. You're looking for \IPS\Dispatcher there and NOTHING ELSE. Not \IPS\Dispatcher\Front; not \IPS\Dispatcher\Admin. If you see an entry there that's your app; if it is a plugin id, off to core_plugins you go to find the matching ID number and that's your plugin.
You'll need to set the RECOVERY_MODE constant (true) to stop all the hooks from loading to get access to everything again. You'll need to disable what you found before taking recovery mode off.... but with recovery mode on you don't actually get access to the ACP so you are in a bit of a loop here. You'll probably need access to the DB via phpadmin or something anyways to find what you need anyways (since recovery mode means no ACP etc. etc...) so once you've found your guy you can just set the application off there in that table, same for plugin.
On the off-chance things are still wonky, you may need to hack out the new IPS code in init.php and everything will work again but you'll need to still deal with whatever is crashing out here. If it gets to that point see my post in the dev area (if you have access there) or shoot me a PM.

I was able to get in a track down my issue to a javascript related third party plugin.  Once I disabled it, function resumed.
(It's a custom one, so other than saying they did something with javascript, I'm not sure it would affect your issues)

Perhaps this is a pipe dream, but as sub-economies have proven to be a very effective way of hijacking goal-oriented psychology I would love to see a native points system in IPB.
In such an application one could develop different "banks" for different types of points systems depending on the nature of your website.  Examples:
"credits" (for purchasing services, Store products, exchanging for cash donations to relevant charities) tokens (for gambling, buying bling for their online personae) hours (if you're like me, you sell hours of tuition and/or consultation) How might these points be accumulated/awarded?  Examples:
buying blocks of tokens/credits/hours in the Store buying Store products: buy product X and get Y amount of credits in points system Z having the highest-rated answers in a Q/A Support forum having the highest reputation in a given forum Awarding points to people who invite new members to your community completing courses or other certifications Other ideas:
Targeted emails to certain groups, or certain individuals when credits/tokens/hours are at X or 0 - time to get more!) Targeted emails to people indicating they've been awarded free tokens/credits/etc. Promotions where points are awarded under special circumstances from dates X to Y Toss tokens into a (virtual) fight pit and watch your community fight for them.  Cue the oldschool Star Trek fight music.  Dance, puppets, daaaaance! mwuahahaha) Hijacking goal-oriented psych--err, offering points could be a great way to spur development and participation in one's community.  They could also obviously be integrated into other apps (or other apps could make use of points) as part of competitions, e.g., submitting the highest-rated photos, articles, blog posts, etc.  The possibilities go on and on!
As some know there have been a couple of third-party devs who have made Points systems, but I have come to think that if one is going to embed something like this into a community (let alone a business) I wouldn't want to trust it to anyone but the core developers for updates and stability.
I obviously can't speak for others, but I for one would be happy to pay for this as an additional (optional) IPS module, similar to the way IP.Downloads is offered.

No problem at all. Glad to see it sorted the issue 🙂 

Yes, recently upgrading did seem to sort out all of my issues with both the progress bar and my problems with uploading large files.  Thanks for following up on this!

Did upgrading sort the issue for you there?
