I just upgraded my forum from version 4.5 to 4.7. Everything seems to be working fine, except the rank system, which now labels everyone as "Newbie," including the Admins. Is there something I can do to automatically adjust the rank/achievements for each user appropriately?

Hello, I have database size of around 18.41GB, which is insane in my opinion as there are about 22.5k topics, 104k posts, and 10k members. This is the summary the hosting provider sent me today. DB: Size = 18.41 GB Table: ibf_core_cache , Size: 8.7211 GB Table: ibf_forums_posts , Size: 0.1651 GB Table: ibf_core_search_index , Size: 0.1566 GB Table: ibf_core_message_posts , Size: 0.0170 GB Table: ibf_core_attachments , Size: 0.0135 GB I have looked into admin and can't find an option to clear the core_cache table. But the problem is that even if we minus the whole core_cache table, the database is still over 9GB. That's huge as well. Another problem is that database size is increasing day by day but the tables which are taking most data are the same. Please take a look at the summary the hosting provider sent me on 1st June. DB: Size = 18.21 GB Table: ibf_core_cache , Size: 8.7211 GB Table: ibf_forums_posts , Size: 0.1651 GB Table: ibf_core_search_index , Size: 0.1566 GB Table: ibf_core_message_posts , Size: 0.0170 GB Table: ibf_core_attachments , Size: 0.0135 GB And it was 17.41GB around 20 days ago on May 18, 2022. DB: Size = 17.41 GB Table: ibf_core_cache , Size: 8.7211 GB Table: ibf_forums_posts , Size: 0.1651 GB Table: ibf_core_search_index , Size: 0.1566 GB Table: ibf_core_message_posts , Size: 0.0170 GB Table: ibf_core_attachments , Size: 0.0135 GB If you look at all the tables, the size is almost exactly the same. Yet 1GB of data increased for overall database size in just 20 days. This is strange. Can please someone tell me how to clear core_cache data? Is it okay to delete all entries in this table via the MySQL tool? Is there any option/cron in the admin section? Any idea, what else could be taking so much space? I would really appreciate help on this issue. Thanks

Hello Guys, I just renewed my license and try to auto upgrade from v4.1.19.3 to latest version. And i got this error after it extracted latest version files and redirected to next step. Now i have lost access to my front-end and back-end. Same error on both side. I created a ticket for official support but don't know how long it will take for a reply. Any suggestion how to get rid of this error and get back my site online? Or is there anyway to get older version files. v4.1.19.3 .. And replace them back. I'm looking into client area and can't see any option to get older release.

I'm a veteran, worked with quite a bit of CMS. I tried pages few years ago, it was a total waste of time, so i created a very nice looking site with wordpress instead. I wanted to remake my site few months ago. So i tried to give pages another shot. i got trial demo with everything. This time i was more serious to get stuff done with pages. I done quite a bit work on demo site like how i wanted a listing page by adding custom code, how i wanted a single page with quite a bit of custom fields. Spend 4/5 days working on this/ Quite a bit of things were still left like home page, a nice slider, different sections with articles etc. It was pain to work but i wanted to learn this. But then a question struck me about IPS upgrade or if i change theme in future. What will happen to custom code So i asked support about it and they said... I'm using IPB for about 11 years and saw templates evolving in all this period. I give up. Pages is not a good product even for experienced user s. I think IPB should rethink Pages model and write it from scratch. Follow wordpress example with better code and more better settings. I'm sure more communities will start using Pages. It would become an easy to use CMS for everyone and more sales for IPS.
