Why does the user need, for example, administrative functions such as
GRANT,  SUPER,  PROCESS,  RELOAD,  SHUTDOWN ... CREATE USER? 🤔

My suggestion would be to give it full permission.

I have a separate user for the IPB database.

For structure, you'll need ALTER, CREATE, INDEX and DROP at least.

It seems to me that this is for upgrades 🙂

 SELECT
 INSERT
 UPDATE
 DELETE

Is that all? Or does IPB need something else?

P.S.: It would be good to note this in the IPB documentation.

What minimum permissions does IPS recommend giving MySQL users for maximum safety?

It's great, but there's not enough user ban in a specific topic and a specific section.

This is a bug that was fixed in 4.7.6.

Yes, I have 4.7.5 🤦‍♂️  Today I will make an update to 4.7.7. Thank you!

The IPS anti-spam system works like a sieve. Bots pass freely as a rule.

Why is there no filter for registration by location (country)?

I have all bots, for example, from foreign IP.

I would like to see an order of magnitude more flexible anti-spam configuration system (this is without the IPS anti-spam service!)

Letters stopped coming when complaining about the post.

I'm subscribed to them.

The rest of the emails from the forum are coming.

I didn't change the settings. This seems to have happened after upgrading to 4.7.6(5).

What could be the problem?

When editing in Russian, when clicking on the topic name, the length of the title is calculated incorrectly and an error appears.

When you click "Edit" everything is processed correctly.

I have already made a complaint about this, but the bug is still not fixed.

Why there is no mark "Active/inactive question". So that you can turn them on and off, and not save them in a text file and enter them into the table every time?

Very feeble interface and features. IPS is engaged in decorating, but there are almost no real technical necessary things. This is bad 😞

It would be recommended to not use simple mathematic equations.

Of course! This was just an example of a dynamic question. But in IPS, you can't create N questions with answers and output a random one every time - that's a big drawback.

Bots remember answers very quickly and spam.

We need a dynamic system of questions and answers (for example, simple arithmetic operations, some simple puzzles)

He paid me through a friend, who now works in Europe 🙂

When working on the user's content (subject, message), you can now send a notification to him.

But it must be compiled every time! It's very tiring.

Are there pre-installed patterns or the ability to create them?

I did, thank you! Let's see what the users will say 🙂

Now the reminder letters will come, right? And after how long and is it configured? 

Which table and which field stores information about posts marked as "Issue resolved"?

I receive a reminder letter from this forum about a week later about my topic "Did I get an answer to my question?".

Where can I set this up on my forum?

If I've understood what you mean, you can edit further.

Yes! A warning that I exceed the length should appear near the input field during editing. So that the work done is not wasted, because it infuriates!

That part is working as intended (or at least, as written).

Bad idea  🙂

Yes, that's right!

The old header remains, and the new corrected one is lost.

Yes, that's right! The old header remains, and the new corrected one is lost. Why can't I give the option to edit further after the error window?

If I click the cursor on the topic name and edit it, but it turns out to be too long and an error message appears. And then everything just gets erased! This is a very bad interface and needs to be fixed.

Updated to 4.7.5 and CSS has not changed. Mmm... maybe it was necessary to change something in MySQL? It's cached there... 🤦‍♂️

I upgraded to 4.7.4 and the problem reappeared. I don't want to fix CSS every time. Maybe completely update the style, and erase all the old ones?

But if I enable $user-agent, I immediately get the correct answer.

When I try to update, I get a timeout from the server:

From the browser, this URL gives JSON normally. Why?

I can upgrade via SSH from the distribution, if anything... 🙄
