You know what, this is truly and I genuinely mean it from the bottom of my heart, a monumental game changer of a feature. 15 years online, I've learnt that communication with members is vital. This keeps both sides in the loop and I've opted into the Beta to upgrade now just to have this.

I’ve bit the bullet and set a date of November 1st to switch to email logins. I’ve had a topic pinned for 2 years warning people this was coming, then having read this the other day, sent out an alert to all members as well as pinning a fresh topic in the main board. I know I’ll still run into issues trying to recover accounts from those that haven’t been on for a while, just one of those things I guess. Can see the reasoning behind switching to make things more secure, even though we have had no known breaches since opening in 2009. Plus having users email addresses up to date isn’t a bad thing, I might start investing time into email newsletters with a few cheeky ads in to boost revenue.

Name and shame them! They must be outted! 😆

You know you’ve made a fool of yourself when the realisation kicks in during the post merge time on here.

Twitter is now using the x.com domain which means tweets are no longer embedding properly. Wouldn't call it a bug, more a case of Elon Musk being a tool. Still needs looking at though. Ignore that. They are working. Just loaded verrrrrry slowly. Apologies for wasting your time reading this.

I had the same a couple of nights ago, cleared cache in the settings and fixed it straight away.

That's the one, same email address on mine. Added a wildcard block *@*.xyz Looks like they are targeting IPS sites

Hoping this isn't against forum rules as it's one of the IP's, however it's definitely spam, but also known to have tried SQL injections and brute force attempts. Been multiple registrations, each time the same IP with different last digits. Now done a wild card ban for 37.139.53.* https://cleantalk.org/blacklists/37.139.53.17#reviewanchor Wasn't sure if it was something you wanted to add maybe server level. Just sharing the info with you to do as you please. But yeah, the GeoLocation wasn't preventing that one.

I'm still getting registrations from St Petersburg, St.-Petersburg, Russian Federation despite adding the country to GeoLocation

Already running hCaptcha, been running that for a long time now. Wasn’t aware geolocation was a thing, will set that up now

Not a major issue as I approve accounts manually, it’s just the past couple weeks we have had a shed load of spam registrations from Russia, Holland and Finland. Hosted at IPS community in the Cloud, not made any changes to captcha or security, but we’re getting maybe 5+ a day, sometimes 10. Is there something wonky going on, my first obvious step is to change up the Q&A. Just wasn’t sure if there was a known issue at all?

Exactly. They won't always be Randy, but once you know what you're doing and how to push the right buttons, you will receive lots of positive reactions. I think the management team also offer courses now, but don't quote me on this. Just don't let them treat you like a door Matt, plenty more available on the Marketplace......wait, forget that, just don't be afraid to reach out for support when you need it.

These theme updates are making me extremely horny, not gonna lie. 😍
