You need to use a subdomain for S3. If you are using a subdomain now for pics, then it's easy to point to S3 instead.
 
If not, you have to do 301 redirects of all your pics.

Don't. Simply don't. It will cause all kinds of issues. And if you enable IN_DEV mode on the dev forum, there's no way to know what will happen.
 
If you want to have a dev forum, make a copy of both database and files.

I wouldn’t even know what the goal would be. If the database is live, the only thing left to test with independently is IPS files, which shouldn’t be touched anyway. 

If you share the database, anything you do in dev happens to prod which defeats the purpose of separating them in the first place. 

If you’re going to do that just save yourself the effort of setting up the dev site entirely and just do whatever you want in production. 

The short answer to the first question is "It will break". Dont do it.
If you connect both to the same database, its simply not a developer forum, as anything you amend/change will affect both instances. You could end up with files being saved to one location, when they should be saved to another, anything cached on disk will be saved to 2 different locations. And these are just the things I can think of from the top of my head. 

You would need 2 promotion rules. 
Rule 1 - Set only to run for group A, and set where last post is less than 8 days ago Rule 2 - Set to run only for group B, and set to run only if last post was greater than 7 days ago Please see the following guide on how to use group promotions
 

Go to Appearance -> Themes and click on Create New. The new theme will be original (unmodified) one.

This is a big move by Google with the potential to showcase more forum content in search as well as highlight members of the community. Sharing this here hoping it can be natively added to IC5 🤞
Snippets below
-----------------------------------
New in structured data: discussion forum and profile page markup
Today we're announcing support for profile page and discussion forum structured data for use in Google Search, including new reports in Search Console. This markup works with Google Search features that are designed to show first-person perspectives from social media platforms, forums, and other communities. Implementing this structured data will help ensure what Search shows in these features is as accurate and complete as possible.
-----------------------------------
Discussion forum (DiscussionForumPosting) structured data
In general, we recommend nesting comments under the post they relate to. If the forum has its own threading structure, use a tree of comments to represent its structure
If it's more linear in nature (for example, an original post followed by a series of replies), nest them all under the original post as comments. Ideally, later pages of content in multi-page forums include the original post with the main page URL
-----------------------------------
Profile page (ProfilePage) structured data
The primary focus of the page must be a single person or organization that is affiliated with the overall website. Here are some examples of profile pages:

Valid use cases:
A user profile page on a forum or social media site An author page on a news site An "About Me" page on a blog site An employee page on a company website Invalid use cases:
The main home page of a store (usually contains lots of non-profile info) An organization review site (the organization isn't associated with the website) -----------------------------------
@Daniel F - Tagging you in case you haven't come across this yet. I know you make THE SEO application and probably have as much SEO knowledge as anyone in the space.

Its very very likely this is related to email. If there are only a few followers, it would send out the emails right away. So if there is an issue with that email sending (the server taking too long to respond), it can delay that process. It having saved in the database, would actually point to this even more so.

Thanks a lot, it was the system cache! 🙏🏼

This type of error is almost always server related. 

Are there too many people following the forum you’re creating the topic?

I'm in on an Global ignore (shadow ban plugin) when it works on 4.7. 

It is online now. 

Thank you.
Will the Global Ignore (which is the shadowban I am looking for) be updated to work on 4.7?

While I understand there may be previous requests by different users, we are trying to ascertain the OP's request. If they are the same, we will merge this into that topic as one standing request. Please keep in mind while we read every suggestion, it does not mean they will be implemented in full or at all as they were requested.

My forum need a 'block' feature. It works well on Facebook, someone stalks me, they are blocked - never to be seen again.
Call it a Ban feature. Possible?
 

Yep, as Randy mentioned, we just need those records you want to transfer with your domain and we can set those up for you at the same time.

Follow Instructions? Be serious. 
😁

It largely varies but most are done same day, usually over in a few hours at most. My only recommendation is to follow the instructions we provide at time of migration. Most often where it takes longer or we have to delay to a different day is when our instructions are not followed.

Bear in mind it can only count items which are present. So if you have items that have since been removed from the forum, while their post count would not change, it would of course affect a recount (they arent there to count). Is it possible this is what you are seeing here?

Yes, I would certainly recommend invision being in a separate database. Separating databases would be a manual task to see which are tables from invision, as you have the same prefixes, which would also not be recommended. 
In terms of the message, yes switching the memory table will likely correct the message. I would say though, if you are just trying to remove a message and know what is causing it, I would ask if its worth it to you to do?

Hello,
Background process are already automatically prioritised. Achievements rebuilds and the others that you currently running are the lower priority. If a task is spawned for sending notifications, they will be processed with a much higher priority.
It looks like the achievements rebuild recently completed and almost all other tasks (except for the search index rebuild) have also completed.

That is unfortunate. We'll have to disable the feature completely. Thank you for the assistance.
Hopefully this will be taken into consideration, as it shouldn't be very complicated to do (basically instead of polling the IPS remote API, simply read the $_SERVER variables set by the maxminddb server module).
Meanwhile, we could attempt to develop this ourselves, as an alternate integration. Is it possible to develop 3rd party integrations without breaking anthing?

Done
