It's waffle, Jordan. It's the equivalent of "Look at this shiny thing over here while we sh*t on your doorstep" in internet terms. I've kept schtum about things on here for years, but this is getting to be the final straw.
And don't reply to me with the "I feel you" waffle, please.
 

Yes there was. The email should have landed first. Logging into a refreshed website to find out the prices have increased without so much as a whisper, especially when increasing as much as they have, is quite frankly appalling. If customers in the sector I work in found out about prices like that, we'd be fined by a regulator for treating customers unfairly.
In the years I've been an IPS customer I can count on one hand, with fingers to spare, how many times I have been upset about something IPS has done. I have truly been an advocate of IPS in all that time. This is a time I am really quite upset, because the feeling I am left with is simply that IPS no longer values me as a customer. If it did, it would have taken steps to communicate with me in a more proactive way. An email landing tomorrow is like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted... Pointless.
I've gone from a $140 renewal split across two 6-month periods to a single $205.00 renewal every year.
Firstly, that's a 68% price increase in one go and it's an inflation-busting one at that. I do not expect a business to holds its prices forever, but I do expect to have price increases communicated before they're made effective, and I do expect them to be reasonable. Secondly, and this is leaves a far more bitter taste in my mouth, it's a great way of increasing IPS's cash flow whilst simultaneously hurting mine. IPS benefits from a big chunk of renewal cost all in one go, while I'm left trying to desperately plug a short-term financial gap that was not planned for. Thirdly, it's due in November so I am left with little time to deal with this situation. It may not be as short notice as some, and I really feel for those people, but a small hobbyist website like mine can't just muster those kind of funds in that short space of time.
This entire fiasco really is a piss-poor show towards a long-time loyal customer.
I'm afraid that suggestion falls flat as soon as this happens:

To not renew, and risk running unpatched software, simply puts my users' data at risk. That is the reason I renew religiously every 6 months, and have always done so. I know that technically we can do this, but I do not believe it to be sensible to do so.

"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.

Please give everyone six month's notice before implementing yearly renewals considering you are also raising prices at the same time.  This should allow folks time to implement various fundraising schemes to cover the increased renewal fees and the necessity of paying yearly rather than twice a year. 
 
 

I knew the prices would rise with this site relaunch, but I expected more a generous correction for inflation for new orders (not renewals). But the changes are far from slight. And for people like me who have many licenses, it actually threatens my entire business, because the price change is multiplied by the number of licenses. And the new terms make it all even worse. For my oldest license, I had an upcoming renewal of $85 as the last payment in this financial year. Now that jumped to $310—well over 300%! Yes, it’s for 12 months, but I still need to pay it NOW without having earned this money through the site or even planned for it. And even if would manage with this one site, I certainly can’t manage it for 5 self-hosted licenses and their upcoming renewals. 
And it didn’t had to be this way. There is the established system of grandfathering existing prices while only charging more for new customers for example. Or it could be a slow transition that is announced a year or two in advance, so we could have prepared for it someone. Dropping these drastic price and terms changes on us like a bomb, effective and possibly charged immediately, was a bad move.

Avoid it no matter how much your members cry about it. I found it very intrusive and buggy.

Hey @breatheheavy!
The 4.6 compatible version is currently just pending review/approval by IPS, it should be officially available sometime soon!

Hey there,
Just wondering what the status is on the 4.6.x compatibility?  Not to sound all "me me me," but I rely on Clubs for my business and I'm sure many others here rely heavily on this app for Club enhancements.

It will. Eventually. I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t be happy if I stopped an upgrade of a resource with 400 or 300 or 200 purchases you purchased to make an upgrade of a resource with 24 purchases like this. So I ‘m pretty sure you understand it.

An issue to look into with IPS 4.6.x, I know this isn't officially compatible but I thought I'd report it nonetheless.
If you have push notifications enabled, it doesn't seem to like it. I get:
With a stack trace of:
#0 /home/SITE/public_html/system/Notification/Notification.php(901): IPS\_Notification->sendPushNotifications(Array) #1 /home/SITE/public_html/init.php(902) : eval()'d code(27): IPS\_Notification->send() #2 /home/SITE/public_html/applications/core/sources/Messenger/Message.php(197): IPS\deactivation_hook_blockNotifications->send() #3 /home/SITE/public_html/system/Content/Comment.php(230): IPS\core\Messenger\_Message->sendNotifications() #4 /home/SITE/public_html/applications/core/sources/Messenger/Message.php(150): IPS\Content\_Comment::create(Object(IPS\core\Messenger\Conversation), '<p>\n\tLila gaspe...', false, NULL, NULL, Object(IPS\Member), NULL, NULL, NULL) #5 /home/SITE/public_html/system/Content/Item.php(4776): IPS\core\Messenger\_Message::create(Object(IPS\core\Messenger\Conversation), '<p>\n\tLila gaspe...', false, NULL, NULL, Object(IPS\Member), NULL, NULL, NULL) #6 /home/SITE/public_html/system/Content/Item.php(4575): IPS\Content\_Item->processCommentForm(Array) #7 /home/SITE/public_html/system/Theme/Theme.php(860) : eval()'d code(414): IPS\Content\_Item->commentForm() #8 /home/SITE/public_html/system/Theme/SandboxedTemplate.php(61): IPS\Theme\class_core_front_messaging->conversation(Object(IPS\core\Messenger\Conversation), Array) #9 /home/SITE/public_html/applications/core/modules/front/messaging/messenger.php(431): IPS\Theme\_SandboxedTemplate->__call('conversation', Array) #10 /home/SITE/public_html/system/Dispatcher/Controller.php(101): IPS\core\modules\front\messaging\_messenger->manage() #11 /home/SITE/public_html/system/Content/Controller.php(50): IPS\Dispatcher\_Controller->execute() #12 /home/SITE/public_html/applications/core/modules/front/messaging/messenger.php(71): IPS\Content\_Controller->execute() #13 /home/SITE/public_html/system/Dispatcher/Dispatcher.php(153): IPS\core\modules\front\messaging\_messenger->execute() #14 /home/SITE/public_html/index.php(13): IPS\_Dispatcher->run() #15 {main} I mention it here because of line 3 (#2) with the deactivation hook.

I decided to separate reactions from the apps settings:

Before it was supporting reactions only in Forums, Downloads and Gallery.
From now on, you will be able to choose the apps and their content (main item, comment and reviews) to give/remove points when you react/unreact to the content.
All apps will be supported from now on, automatically.

Hello @Makoto, firstly I wanted to thank you for fixing the merged members bug in a very timely fashion. That seems to have done the trick and things are working on that end now. Unfortunately I need to report a return of an old bug that I first reported to you via Discord many moons ago.
There seems to be a problem when viewing the IP Address History of a deactivated member. Either on the ModCP end, or in the AdminCP. When you try to do so, the system log records the following error and the page doesn't display: 
Error: Call to a member function getTimestamp() on int (0) #0 /home/SITE/public_html/system/Member/Member.php(2398): IPS\deactivation\extensions\core\IpAddresses\_Requests->findByMember(Object(IPS\Member)) #1 /home/SITE/public_html/applications/core/modules/admin/members/members.php(2081): IPS\_Member->ipAddresses() #2 /home/SITE/public_html/system/Dispatcher/Controller.php(90): IPS\core\modules\admin\members\_members->ip() #3 /home/SITE/public_html/system/Dispatcher/Dispatcher.php(152): IPS\Dispatcher\_Controller->execute() #4 /home/SITE/public_html/ACP/index.php(14): IPS\_Dispatcher->run() #5 {main} #0 /home/SITE/public_html/init.php(995): IPS\_Log::log('Error: Call to ...', 'uncaught_except...') #1 [internal function]: IPS\IPS::exceptionHandler(Object(Error)) #2 {main} This isn't a major issue, but a fix would be appreciated, as always.
Kind regards, take care and stay safe.

Absolutely this. Things happen, even to big name brands. Take just recently for example, a major brand webhost had such an incident where they had a data centre in France get completely decimated in a fire, which caused outages to millions of websites.

I will come back to view issues in a future release. I fixed now the quick ones that I was preventing the app from working properly. I still have other 20 or 30 resources to take a quick look. 👍

I just submitted a new version to address this issue so the upload won't be necessary when it's get live. 👍

My bad. That happened when I had to clean every of 35 hook files from this app. There was a bunch of try/catch that is generated at every export. I messed two files.
Via FTP, upload the following files to applications/membersshop/hooks:
 
 
I prefer to wait a few more tests than to release a new version now and have to wait 3 or 4 days to be available on marketplace and something appears in the meantime.
Let me know. 👍
--------------------------------------
New version released fix this issue:
 

IPS generally don't recommend changing the ACP location, from conversations I've had with them in the past, and when I've tried to pin them down on as to why, I don't recall ever getting a satisfactory answer. Maybe someone at IPS can comment.
But with that said and out of the way, what you need to do is to rename the ACP folder (I think it's called "admin") and then in your "constraints.php" file which you can find in your installation root folder you need to add/modify the following the line replacing "ACP_FOLDER_NAME" with the name of the folder you've just renamed:
define( 'CP_DIRECTORY', 'ACP_FOLDER_NAME' ); That should be as far as I am aware, all that is required.

Security through obscurity isn't the best idea. We recommend using the built in tools instead such as requiring multi-factor authentication for AdminCP access.
We also often see that customers that have done this still forget to rename the folder when upgrading manually and they end up with two admin folders, one that redirects to the other completely ruling out any obscurity advantage.

Edit the group and add the FA icon in the Group Formatting. Example:
Will produce:

 

 
You can also give users the ability to add their own FA icons:
 

It is not necessary, but you can do it.

What version of IPS are you using?
Please send me a message here and I'll help you get the issue resolved. I'll just need you to set me up with either FTP or SSH access.

^ Absolutely, this.
