We have 1407 sitemaps. The oldest is more than 1 month old and the newest one is 4 days old. And we have decrease in Google indexed page. Is there still an issue with large sitemaps?

Just asked them as I have doubts on this: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/449833-sitemap-generator/

Wait for 4.4.

I've put together a plugin which handles this in a different location, making it hookable - have sent a new copy of it to @Mopar1973Man to try it out. If anyone would like a copy then please PM me directly.
I won't be releasing it to the MarketPlace, as it does circumvent the security which IPS has built in to the product (albeit for only one configured account) - all I ask is you chuck me a beer 😉

I get parse errors with that. Can you show exatly how to edit Login.php? @Sonya*
 
edit: got it.

I've done a "dirty" hack to allow a crawler to login into my community. Attention: This changes core login functionality for one user and will be overwritten when you update:
Create a user with name "Crawler" and give him access to the areas the crawler should have access to. Open file system/Login/Login.php and edit a method authenticate(): public function authenticate( \IPS\Login\Handler $onlyCheck = NULL ) { try { if ( isset( \IPS\Request::i()->_processLogin ) ) { // Allow access for the AdSense bot if (\IPS\Request::i()->auth != 'Crawler') { \IPS\Session::i()->csrfCheck(); } ..... }  
Go to your Adsense account and add credentials:

Be aware of the additional field _processLogin to be added to login credentials. Again, it works, but this is a very dirty solution that works till next update. I hope that IPS can add a setting so that we can exclude bot user from checking csrf in the future, so that we do not need so dirty hacks.

We need here bounce handling, that automatically unsubscribe "dead" E-mails from newsletter. So that we do not need to send over 300 000 mails for each newsletter. I am sure that at least a quarter of them do not exist any more. We have used custom phplist integration till November (excellent bounce handling + free), then we upgraded and loose the integration. Now we test 3rd party Newsletter apps right now. But unfortunately none of them support bouncing 

I think it’s time that us (customers) and the team look over on what has been asked many, many times on here and have a poll system to which we could vote (anything core based for the software). I'm sure over the years we've asked for features to be implemented and had to wait years for it to come to the system; i.e. - Subscriptions, but I feel it was featureless and rushed.
We often see the team spend time on introducing new features without listening to us on what it’s loyal customer wants. Now don't get me wrong, we've had some great things added too, but a balance would be great and really help us connect to the team more and really show that we can openly ask and discuss future options. After all, without us a business doesn't exist.
 

i'm not familiar with that theme, does it work on the default theme or does it still throw this error?
i've fixed this in the next version.
1, yes i have, it supersedes the acronym's, so if you have an acronym and a keyword both with the same name, the keyword will win out.
2. yeah, just got late to the party 🙂 was thinking a black friday sale was gonna be on well, black friday or cyber monday 🙂 
it uses its own classes. there are  a few different css files depending on what you are using.
block.css will control the look and feel of block menu types. 
mega.css will control how the mega sub menus will look.
traditional.css will control how the single column sub menus will look.
cjmg.css contains all the other styling.
there is also cjmg_custom.css that loads after all these to allow easily override the css rules in the other css.

I will give this app a try to get any position for ad block you like. 
 

Gotcha. To use IPS to run AdSense, I followed the below steps. Even if it does not help you, this guide will hopefully help others who are looking to monetize using AdSense (or any other advertisement platform, since the steps will likely be the same).
Google AdSense
Setup an AdSense account Either enable Auto Ads or create your own ad units via AdSense console Copy the code provided. Note, each ad unit will have its own unique code. This is important for reporting later on; to understand which ad units perform better/worse than others IPS > AdminCP > Advertisements
In AdminCP, navigate to System > Advertisements "+Create New" (top right) a new unit to correspond with the ad units created in the AdSense console Copy the respective code provided from the AdSense console to your new IPS ad unit in the IPS console IPS gives you options for page placement. I always select "Define Your Own Locations" because it gives you maximum control over placement Give your ad unit a unique "Custom Location Key". Each ad unit needs a custom location key name IPS > AdminCP > Pages
In AdminCP, navigate to Pages > Blocks Create New Block > Custom Block > Manual HTML In the Details tab, give your new block a unique name and then move to Content tab Add code <center><div>{advertisement="Custom Location Key Name"}</div></center> replacing Custom Location Key Name with the one you chose earlier Save In original or new window, open the Block Manager and add your new block wherever you want the ad to appear on your page(s) Hope this helps, but please provide feedback and I will update as requested. I can definitely add more (way more 😉 ) details if anyone thinks it would be useful. 

I have used DFP to place ads on my community before. I have defined some ads placements in DFP and used AdSense as fallback when no premium advertisers buy out the placement. The pros of DFP is precise targeting, that is not possible in native IPS, e. g. geo targeting down to the city, restrict unique views, select site areas and so on. Now after upgrading I will go with native IPS advertisement as premium banner is getting more and more unpopular. Instead other types of promotion and advertising becomes interesting for our customers.

Yes, please 
I have a large community with over 1000 concurrent users online to the busy hours and run AdSense for years. From my experience CTR is low on boards. That's it. You cannot change it as your community is visited many times a day and there are a lot of impressions made by one user during one visit. You would not expect him to click on every third page on the ads. On contrary the pure content sites have very few impressions per user and thus CTR is higher. Your power users become "blind" and do not see ads at all. They produce many impressions and nearly no clicks. It is also dependent on the subject of your community, the number of different advertisers who concur here. Are there only few of them, the ads become irrelevant to your content and hence have fewer clicks. The only idea to improve your CTR is moving power users and staff to a group that views the site ad free. 

Throw us a bone mate 🙂

Well I have reported it already that address cannot be displayed correctly. It is not shown under the map and the pin for the location is set at center of the town, the street is ignored https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/430442-links-directory/?do=findComment&amp;comment=2763621 You have said, it will be fixed 
Thats why I think its a bug. If I save information about street where is this displayed? Is it works as designed, that street is not displayed anywhere and not considered in the map, what is the reason for entering the street in this field? 
Look how location field is displayed in Clubs

Categories isn't a widget; it's a contextual sidebar so it's position is hard-coded and will always appear above widgets and nothing above it.
Advertisement:

Examples:
- Downloads app:

 
- Blogs:

 
- Clubs:

 
- Links Diretory:

 
So if you want to add something above categories, edit the links -> front -> browse -> indexSidebar template:

You'll get:

Bug, it will be fixed asap.

@TheJackal84 resolved the issue for me and quickly. You may want to private message him to be sure he sees your support issue. If memory serves correctly he ran a mysql query which resolved the problem.
 

I have just bought it and tested. It does not work for me either. I see my clubs, go to the admin panel and login AS other user who is member of other clubs. Go to forum index and nothing changes. I still see previous list (my forums), even logged in AS someone else. 

Well, the only way to do this real time is stop using cache (datastore) and adding a query everytime someone goes to index. 
I will change that during weekend. 

from #1021485 ticket
I suggest to change the code where you have applied the fix and redirect on reset password with a notice for help understand the issue if user attempt login have a empty salt.

Try to check if user is listed into the result of this query
SELECT member_id, name, members_pass_hash, members_pass_salt FROM core_members WHERE members_pass_hash <> '' and members_pass_salt = ''

Ok, I'm dropping the PAID links feature and will add a Package module. New version yet this week.

@Sonya* I couldn't think where to put this 😅, is it okay this way?

Thanks @Sonya*
I'll take a look now
