  1. If a member attempts to join a club on my website this error is what occurs. How can I resolve this issue? I'm on the road and updating the website with my travels. Other members are trying to join the travel camping club and this error occurs.
  2. Yup I had members check it was the ModSecurity function which is weird...
  3. Might of got it... On the server there is a ModSecurity (WHM) which I had disabled a while back now I reinstalled the OWASP Core Rule Set and then allow to process the rules and connections now it seems to be working again I'll continue to watch closely and see if this returns.
  4. Members are seeing this issues too but no idea where to look. I guess I could call the hosting company and have them dig in but I'm not sure what to tell them either.
  5. Addon... I've cleared the browser cache and cookies, no love. I've clear the cache on the software and still behaving poorly on the PC. Reverted back my tweak on my MySQL that I changed nope no luck there. PC will download still only if you resume the download. PC now always gives that network error just hit resume and it will complete but you must take the network error first. My cellphone works without any issue at all.
  6. So why is it that on my Samsung S21 cellphone downloads just fine but now at a desktop it does not both using Chrome? My PC is a Ubuntu Linux 20.04 with Chrome Browser as well. As I just tested right now on my cellphone... Works just fine...
  7. First of I've got a downloads that is not working good at all. When members download a file now it shows a network error and stops. If you right click Chrome and tell it to resume it will finish the download with the error present yet. https://mopar1973man.com/files/file/173-mid-injector-tow-tune/ Which creates this... Now digging into this I see there is issues with the java possibly. What do I have to do to repair this?
  8. I've lost my site as of about 2pm March 23 2022. I'm not sure what happened but the site is no longer functional. I can't access even the Admin folder (acp). Folder and files are all present but produce blank pages. I even try rolling back to a older backup last night to see if that would fix missing data or something (had my hosting company handle this). No luck. I do have a current backup of March 23 when it failed. Also what is this about my current plan not including email support. Previously I did pay for priority support in the past. (Scratching my head)
  9. Same problem here. Fixed the problem and now stuck with the warning...
  10. Same here... Again I would like to charge points (negative number required) for posting on the forum.
  11. My site is a bit different than most. I'm a paid subscription site. Price for posting and replying - It would be nice to award like 100 on registration and then charge 10 points for posting a new thread and then 1 for every reply for that member. This would allow for perspective members a chance of trying out the web site for free, but limits till the points run out. So you would have to allow for negative numbers for charging members for usage. Decimal Value - I seen someone else ask for adding decimal values too. I would like to more or less make my own internal money system but would be nice for fractional numbers. I'm more interested in the idea of having a non-subscription members able to help out on the site by writing reviews and and bring referrals as a credit of points then charge points for ask question or support on the forum. Personally I think all the functions should be capable of either negative or positive values so Admins could charge for functions or reward for other functions. Currently it seems everything is a positive value and the only thing you can charge for is the Members store which I'm not really interested in but would like to charge for functions of the forum posting and new threads.
  12. Ok I've done it in the past about 5 years ago but the IPS software has changed since I did it last. I was able to create a email I could send out to my vendor with the full invoice parts, part numbers, and quantities. Then my vendor will box it up and drop ship for me. My problem is I've lost my old template from way back when. Basically I want to take and use the product notification and send a email invoice to my vendor with the stuff the customer is wanting to buy. So take this which does me zero good... Then email this which covers everything... I have the product listing that is readable, who order (Mopar1973Man.Com) and then who is this product sent to (Customer name and shipping address). Now my vendor bills my account and process my order to ship a injection pump out to X customer in Y state. I like the email notification method because my local products I sell don't require this so I leave the feild blank. But if the product comes from Utah Supplier I got to make sure to pass along the info... So email notification works good. My question is how to build this into the email so all the info is passed along to my vendor. Shipping address, product names, I can lose the price because my price will be different from public. I do need all shipping and customer information emailed for sure hard to ship a product without a address and customer name. This way the product is order from my vendor instantly and and mailed out to the customers with my business name on the package. ANOTHER SUGGESTION --- Provide Fractional Quantity Being I do do Diesel Mechanic work I need to bill out in fractional amount a lot of times and it a big pain in the rear end to have to hand calculate everything for fractional amount. 2.4 hours at $85 and hour since the IPS can't process it I got to now hand math which is $204 for the 2.4 hours and the set it for 1 quantity. Instead of setting the price at $85 an hour and placing 2.4 in the quantity. This one is time waster being simple math of fractional quantity is a common feature to even Quickbooks.
  13. I've done it in the past and it worked but now with all the new changes I can't find the information for rebuilding a custom email. In the past I started to sell a product from my vendor. So every time a customer bought this item it sent a email to the my vendor and had shipping info and the list of the invoice for the supplier. Currently I've got the old stock email but need to add in the invoice info like product bought, and mailing address to the customer. As fro the variables you can use I know there is more but what is valid and where to find a current list?
  14. That's what I did for 5 years... Losing traffic and search rankings dropped. Now I'm focused on speed and meeting Google requirements and gain over 20,000 people per month and still growing. Traffic is improving and speed is getting slower because the server is getting busier. So what I did in the last 3 month netted me more than leaving it alone for 5 years and watched it fall apart. Better your speed ranking the better your ranking of SEO with Google.
  15. Like currently to gain more speed and reduce timings here. I've now downloaded a copy of my entire website. Now taking my attachments which are mostly photos. Copied again on my local hard drive and going month by month to re-compress all the photos down. cd .. cd monthly_2021_02 jpegoptim -f *.jpg optipng *.png In doing so I've seen several files with as high as 30% saving in space now. Just the month_2021_02 I made at least a 25 MB space savings. When you run through all the folders there might be a considerable saving of all the photos being re-compressed the marginal pages I've got will most likely pass when I get this project done. Now figure my website started way back at 2007 orignally so there is a close to 8.5 GB of files on the attachment folder and going to take me awhile to process down.

  16. Like what I'm used to... BEFORE Payment - Purchase Order this where the customer wishes to purchase an item but not paid yet. AFTER Payment - Invoice is generated because the customer has his/her goodies in shipping to them and been paid for.
  17. That's cheating... Yeah IPS might have a zero CLS shift because they do not have any Google Adsense being displayed. Where most of us use the Google adsense for income. Another thing to look at is the test during peak traffic hours vs quiet time. I typically do my code work in the quiet time so my test in the morning typically better than mid day or evening time when busy. Timing wise is tough to work with growing traffic and times get longer. As for the CLS you can fix that for the most part but adsense ads tend to create huge amount of CLS.
  18. I would rather have the invoice created AFTER the pay now button. All the incomplete invoices are annoyance to me for accounting purpose having to skip over all the incomplete transactions. Searching out the completed transactions for sale tax and other thing you have to account for. I've got a lot of people looking at stuff on my site and plan to purchase later. I also use the invoice system for my business as working on customers trucks. Works great just wish it would handle fractional quantity.
  19. Still waiting for the Google to retest all this. I've managed to knock the LCP (Largest Colorful Paint) to just a mere 421 URL left. I'm in the process of backing up all the attachments and now going to recompress all my attachments and photos. I found a GUI style picture file compressor called "Trimage" then there is a terminal based called "jpegoptim" that work directly on your server terminal. I'm going to do most of the processing at home and re-upload the files again this way I don't tank the server load with monster recompress of 8 GB of files. Currently on the desktop side the only poor I got is CLS (Content Layout Shift) again waiting for Google to retest this out. I'm my testing I managed to reach 0.08 on most pages. The biggest is the CLS and diving into the CSS and do a search for "google" it will pop up. Now you can set the amount of space in the CSS to fix the CLS or at least reduce it. I aimed for reduction mostly. Kind of hard with dynamic layout design like Invision. Timing is basically getting your server optimized as best you can then start drop out the drag. More or less how I build diesel truck for customers. Lose as much drag and weight then start adding power to the engine. This way your not adding power to huge archor or excessive weight and trying to drag the weight. (Switch back to web) More or less ditch the heavy graphics as much as possible, go more "Plain Jane" now you can add back in the goodies and watch till Google whines about either content shift or timing. Maybe that's why I drive a 500 HP Diesel Truck that most just think is stock... https://mopar1973man.com/storage/attachments/monthly_2020_06/15915332979951430079351958718559.jpg.3c0f371c8c1300491ef55ed800e1ea0c.jpg
  20. Even myself I'm on VPS server. I know enough to be dangerous sometimes. (Evil Laughter)
  21. Like myself, I managed to pull it off... Marginally but did it... I've expanded more ads on the thread listing page and the forum post pages too. Still managed to squeeze through barely making it all fit. Ugh! I'll use any web based test tool from the outside. I can't really use my browser developer tools being my local internet here is slow. So the scores are always a touch lower and never quite reach the mark ever. Now web based test like GT Metrix works well being it like any customer coming to the site.
  22. Never mind I figured it out... Here is what I replaced it with and Now I'm done some testing and got the CLS value down to 0.1 or lower on some pages. Also added the centering CSS code to center the ads in the layout. /* GOOGLE AD CODE FOR RESPONSIVE ADS */ #ipsLayout_mainArea .adsbygoogle { width: 320px; height: 150px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } @media (min-width:500px) { #ipsLayout_mainArea .adsbygoogle { width: 480px; height: 300px; } } @media (min-width:800px) { #ipsLayout_mainArea .adsbygoogle { width: 780px; height: 300px; } } @media (min-width:1050px) { #ipsLayout_mainArea .adsbygoogle { width: 1040px; height: 300px; } }
  23. What is the best way to handle Google Adsense CLS? I'm fighting to keep my ads the way they are laid out but the Content Layout Shift is greater than 0.25. How can I give space for the Ads with out making padded space too big for mobile or too small for desktop or just making a mess out of the layout. I did find some google code in the CSS side but it doesn't seem to be working possibly being my layout shift is too high yet. This is under Core > Global > global.css /* GOOGLE AD CODE FOR RESPONSIVE ADS */ #ipsLayout_mainArea .adsbygoogle { width: 320px; height: 100px; } @media (min-width:500px) { #ipsLayout_mainArea .adsbygoogle { width: 468px; height: 60px; } } @media (min-width:1050px) { #ipsLayout_mainArea .adsbygoogle { width: 728px; height: 90px; } } What do I have to do make this work correctly and reduce the CLS?
  24. Thank you for the comments. The lurking comment was from the fact I guys that call me later on and say yup I've been hanging around reading but I'm not computer savvy but could you help me out getting signed up. So I talk them through that and typically they are a keepers. I've got a huge load of guest looking daily. Slowly but surely they do join up when there problems get bad enough on there vehicle.
  25. Nothing to watch being unpaid members can only read... Everything is visible (for Google reasons) but posting, replying, downloading, etc all locked out till payment for there subscription is paid. Another trick if they are buying parts off my store or I'm doing work on their truck then they automatically get a free subscription to the site as well. Heck I make an hourly rate for my shop why is it any different if I'm giving support in my shop physically one on one in person or one on one over the internet? Now the old donation system that quote would be true. I only had 0.9% of membership pool donating. Then the 99.1% were there leeching out the site, my time, information, etc. Now the site is paying its own bills and starting to see some profit starting to happen. I'm a Cummins diesel tech by trade and I was more or less working for free. No longer... All members wanting support pay the subscription fee. Just my 2 cents to this issue...
