 I was logged in to the ACP and I clicked on this URL:

I can reproduce this easily. I click these URL's in the error log within the ACP, I am obviously logged in then so I create a new error in the error log using MY IP and login, which to me seems to be caused by one reason only, me clicking the link myself.

There is loads of errors in the logs coming from different IP-addresses and "I presume" guests or different logins.

Could you please help clarifying this as I feel we are on the wrong track here, or I am misunderstanding you completely here.... Some proof of better explanation would be nice 🙂

Hi Marc,

Could you be so kind to (privately) sent me more information about that? I use extremely long generated passwords and never the same password for multiple logins.

Nothing is impossible, but it seems unlikely that this is actually what is happening.

I have just changed it, 32 characters and rather complex.

I think the confusion comes from me clicking some of the error URL's in the logs. I'm quit sure my login has not been compromised 😉

Looking at the logs one of the errors seems to be related to the UBBthreads convertor

Hi, I was hoping some other community user would have been able to help based on the logs. Acces to the CP and sftp has to be opened manually due to security reasons. It is now accessible from your IP-address. 🙂

Hi, I just moved from php7.4 to 8.1 and since then I see some errors in the logs. I tried disabling the few plugins and hooks I use and the errors still persist.

What can I do about them?

Hi,

Sorry I missed that one. 

Do I need to repost my (last part of the) question in the template design forum? Because I would really not know how to use the custom css to achieve the same thing:

/* Page widths */
  --container--width: 1230px;
  --minimal_container--width: 1000px;

Hi, today I upgraded to v4.7.2.1

When trying to edit my theme back to what is was, I usually go here and edit the CSS, but there is now only one CSS file visible (custom.css)

I want to edit page width. Before I edited _vars.css and change:

/* Page widths */
  --container--width: 1230px;
  --minimal_container--width: 1000px;

How can I edit these files again, or achieve the same thing: set my page width?

Great, thanks!

Anybody knows what this means and what to do about it?

After rethinking this you might be right there is no optimal solution for this and the issue can be mitigated by queuing the e-mail as outlined above.

So I'd like to redraw my feature request 😉

Hi, I now 'fixed' the problem by configuring the local postfix server to relay via my external mailserver, so the mail will be delivered instantly to the local mailqueue and then relayed 'slowly' to the external smtp server.

This will not speedup delivery, but does 'fix' this issue. 

When there are only 13 followers, posting takes 22 seconds to complete. That is not acceptable. When this topic would have 30 followers I loose my members by frustration 😉

I am using the external mailserver because sending mail via this mailserver is way more reliable then sending via php (dkim, antivirus), and again, this mailserver is no slouch.

Can this treshold then al least be configurable?

As I was confronted with some 'sudden' performance issues while posting message in a topic with 10+ followers, it turned out Invision Community forums is sending topic e-mail notifications instant. A 'slow' mailserver can then significantly delay the posts being made to such a topic:

Please make the e-mail a background task as this seems bad practice. The speed of a post should not be relying on the speed of a smtp mailserver (which is quit speedy, but apparently not speedy enough for Invision community 😉

I am starting to think you may have a point. 😉

I used a 13 follower topic now which was slow most of the time. 

Then switched the email setting back from smtp to php and posting was then fast every time I tested.

smtp is an external (TLS) mailserver, within the same network which is quit fast.

There are 2 things I can wrap my head around. The mailserver is fast when trying it from the command line on the server running IPS. So why does this hold up posting. This mailserver was in use before the update as well without any issues.

Why is IPS sending the email instant and does posting a message rely on a blazing fast smtp server? I would rather have this done by the cron running every minute so It will be a background proces.

In this specific topic I was testing there are 6 followers. But I have also been testing in a topic that only has 1 follower and in there I am getting the same irregular delays.

Wat mis je op sat4all? (graag reageren) - Pagina 7 - Off topic - Sat4all - Alles over Satelliet TV, Ziggo en Telenet!

As far as I can see there are no significant delays there:

Apr 20 20:00:02 ####### postfix/local[2155]: 8D75F807A2: to=<##########>, orig_to=<#####>, relay=local, delay=0.05, delays=0.03/0.01/0/0.01, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to command: procmail -a "$EXTENSION")

Apr 20 2

Yes, there could be a lot of followers. But why does to e-mail connection hold up (new) posts? Ar the e-mail notifications not being handled by a cron job?

When editing the newly posted message that is instant.

I'm trying to understand why this happens all of a sudden. The mailserver is unchanged.

Hi,

I am having issues since ugrading to 4.6.12.1. When posting new messages sometimes it's instant, sometimes it takes somewhere from 5 to 16 seconds.

Since I also upgraded the OS (Debian 11 bullseye, as I do every month) I can not be 100% sure it's the Invision community upgrade.

I have checked all /var/log/* for errors, enabled the mysql slow query log, but nothing suspicious.

Anobody having similar issues, or maybe someone has some pointers on what to check next?

Cheers,

Michel

Sorry, forgot to close this. The Bancontact issue was a PiCNIC issue of the worst kind. 🤭

The Apple Pay was tested on a non apple browser on an apple device, not knowing this would not work.

Thanks for the great support!

Maybe a typo. I have entered credentials again and verified them. Sorry.

Sorry, updated.

Hi, I have added the IP to both the firewall and the admin-cp access-list.

sft info also updated.

I have, but since it is not possible to talk to IPS via a ticket I have no other option then to post private information via a PM. That PM is now in Marc Stridgens PM-box.

I have an access-list on my Admin CP. I asked Marc if the Invision IP-adresses are still valid. If so you should be able to access it.

The access details for the admin CP are updated. I asked marc if he also needs sftp since that is a little harder for me to do due to security.

Community support makes it quit hard to communicate private information.

I send you another PM and updated all info.

All transaction details and logs are in your PM.

I have full transaction logs from Stripe, but I can not publish this publicly.

This is what stripe had to say about it. It was a very lengthy and pain-full conversation where I had to explain multiple times I am just a user and not a developer and needed to know where it goes wrong, so I know which door to knock.

(09:57:24 AM) Charry: Michel, no one is at fault here and it doesn't mean the payment isn't processing correctly. It's just that the process is incomplete which is why it isn't showing on the dashboard yet
