Tripp★

I'm on 4.7.20 and all I see is "Change to Complete (Valid report)" "OK" "Cancel" I can't set the outcome. Is there something I'm missing or is this the bug in question?

How do I turn this off? I already have a third party application that deals with account deactivation and deletion - which suits my needs far better than this and apparently the data download feature doesn't work either. (Error: Call to a member function getTimestamp() on int (0)) Or something of the like.

I can completely understand this: This is a completely valid and reasonable explanation. Attributing it to greed is, in my opinion, just flagrantly ignorant, intellectually lazy, and quite honestly downright uncharitable towards IPS. And in before someone starts crying "FAN BOY!" or some other juvenile and asinine tripe: There are many valid criticisms; such as the utterly toothless blocking/ignoring system, as an example I can name off of the top of my head. This; ain't it chief. Theoretically a PHP version is possible, in a similar way that the site pushes notifications "live" without refreshing the page. I think ArrowChat and other chatbar things do it when a user is typing a message, for example and it's based on a heartbeat, which has an inactivity timer that reduces the checks/requests. However I doubt that's very performance efficient and if lots of people are looking at any given topic, could perhaps introduce quite a nasty spike, as far as I am aware. But it is possible. If you're that angry about it or if you are that keen on having this feature, one option could be to commission a standalone mod from someone who can find a more performant way of implementing it. This could potentially generate some income for the developer, but it would require a careful consideration of the performance implications and usage patterns to ensure that it does not cause any significant issues. The fact that it's not option already tells me that it's probably not worth doing, probably because the aforementioned problems I pointed out. But what would I know?

Thank you. I can't speak for everyone, but I can say that this is what I wanted. Action and an apology. By in large I don't mind this price increase, it was a shock, admittedly, but most of that comes down to the fact that it came out of the blue when I discovered it and had no prior warning of it. But to say that you haven't had a price increase in a decade? Was it really that long ago when the Branding Removal went up to $500? I thought it was not that long ago. Either way; thank you for this. Putting it back to 6 month renewals is better for me, and hopefully a lot of other people too. My next question about support is what do we do with NSFW sites? I'm sure you don't want porn site links appearing on your forums; which is why I am very careful about linking my forums where the public can see it, going to the extent where I alter screenshots and do inspect element to change things prior to taking the screenshots so that people can't draw connections and such, when pasting screenshots publicly. Finally my last question is, are we to expect regular price increases "In line with the rate of inflation" or something annually from now on like mobile phone contracts?

There is no great way of sharing the news? Maybe not, but there is an absolute disastrous way of doing it, and naturally, that's the option Invision went for. You can't defend that. I am not annoyed about the price increase - the writing has been on the wall for that for a long time, it's been a long time coming, I think most of us see that. Although I think that 55% increase more is a bit much in one go, but that's my problem and I will have to deal with it. Unexpected price increases with no advanced warning or even notice what-so-ever has just gone and dissolved a good chunk of confidence I have in IPS as a company. This is what I'm really annoyed about. This came out of the blue! There was no prior announcement (Before the fact) and only came after the fact after people started noticing which is an absolutely appalling way to deal with it. ANY form of notice after a good period of time say - 6 months (One renewal period) before the fact would have been a much better way of dealing with it. It would have given people a chance to be prepared for what was coming, to make arrangements thusly. Also the email calling this "Not bad news" - you're having a laugh, aren't you? You're right; it's not bad. It's terrible. Also not a fan of posting my problems publically, as my site is NSFW. I'm not a fan of that - at all. If most of your support tickets are "How to do X", or "How do I set X up" then you should make it clear that those questions could be asked in whatever forum you have set up. But quite often my problems, for example, are actual problems, not me asking how to do X. There was a better way of sharing the news, and as usual you picked the worst option imaginable. Your "Good-Feels Corporate Speak" doesn't change any of that. I will be seriously considering my future with IPS software, I'm not happy with being reliant on Invision Software for my site, and haven't been for a long time, this is yet another nail in the coffin for me.

"we want to be as transparent as possible" So springing a wild price increase out of the blue is being as transparent as possible, is it? What utter nonsense.
