It can't be done automatically but Lindy has very kindly done exactly this for me once as a courtesy. You're a polite, helpful man and a regular contributor here, so I imagine he'd extend the same grace to you too if you submitted a ticket with the request for his attention.

The only way to uninstall a plugin, AFAIK, is to reset the editor to default - of course that means any other plugins will also be removed.  As far as plugins are concerned, make sure that you are sourcing them for the correct version of the editor, on IPS it's version 4.  Hope that helps 🙂
 

Basically, a community that enforces its standards fairly. A moderation team that is sensitive to nuances, so that they can recognize when a member is engaging in bullying and harassment that isn't necessarily as obvious as a verbal bludgeoning. Not mistaking bluntness and direct communication for rudeness, and stepping in to call that out when someone in the community takes it that way. Not conflating disagreement or refutations with personal attacks, and stepping in to call that out when a member is making such a conflation.. Not allowing marginalized members to be intimidated into silence.
These are the types of things that can ruin a member's experience in a community, and they occur with disturbing frequency.

I'll regret this, but not much...plugin attached (xml file) and it will add a toggle to the comment form when reading a topic.
I'm off now to go wash the sugar taste out of my mouth.
Note: no support is provided for this plugin, as it is a 'proof of concept' for an application which is now available in the MarketPlace.

We have ratings in the system, but they are not available everywhere.  It would be fantastic to have a rating drag and drop box that could be put anywhere in the site - ratings for everything.  Obviously there would have to be settings to determine what IPS app the ratings are being collected for, but that shouldn't be an issue.  It would be fantastic to be able to add a ratings box to any part of the suite without having to rely on the current system, which is lacklustre and sporadic.
Just a thought that may turn into something a little more productive 🙂
 

Looking at this link, this is a great example where you can save a lot of money by going with something like AWS. Their Lightsail offering is simplified VPS. Compared to that Nimbus plan you linked to, you could have a better provisioned VPS at $40/month (at least US pricing--you'll need do work out the conversion to Prussian Francs). You can have your instance in Frankfurt, Ireland, London, or Paris if you need something based in Europe.
That would give you 8GB RAM, 2 core processors, 160 GB SSD storage, and 5 TB transfer, well exceeding the allocations for the Nimbus plan you linked to at $105/month.
You'd be able to add CDN at free or very low cost, and could even choose to maintain a separate fully maintained database instance and still come out under what you'd be paying Nimbus.

IPS' cloud is using AWS. I'm sure Jordan's prodding about EU based servers simply means they'd put some instances in those European regions if the interest was worth the bother.

There is no shame in that at all. You worked hard, contributed to society as a productive member, and now have earned the right to your joyful retirement.  If I recall correctly (from memory), your forum is a personal joy (hobby) you enjoy tinkering with. I hope you go on to enjoying your community for years to come, and while your goal may not be to attract members far and wide, I do wish you success.
Finding a hosting provider you are happy with, in the long run, is all that matters. If Nimbus fulfills your needs, even if they are a bit costly and you're happy with their service, perhaps they are the right host for you.  But should you in the future wish to see affordable alternatives, I am sure there are many people here who can give you some suggestions (canspace.ca and hostxnow.com both come to mind).
Cheers, Davyc 😀

Nope not using SMTP using the built-in method - see below:

Not to worry though, I just removed the php.ini file and the system went on it's merry way.
I checked them out and I can get Nimbus for roughly the same price and it's UK based, as am I, with a little more movement on features.  I've used Nimbus in the past and they are really good and very professional, hence 'expensive' - at least for me they are when you're on your pension lol.  I never thought I'd be saying I'm an OAP lol, but here I am.

If you can't change your php configuration (possibly you are on shared hosting) then add the following to a Notepad file and name it php.ini
disable_functions = exec, system, passthru, pcntl_exec, popen, proc_open, shell_exec display_errors = off If your host allows for recursive php.ini files then you only need to upload to your root, if not you will need to upload to all folders 🙂

I love this suggestion. I have found many instances when featuring a member's topic, I will add some additional information to their post, which looks like the OP wrote it. I want to clarify to people that there are now two authors, at least a contributing author, so no one's words are minced. 

Hey @Matt Finger welcome to the greatest show on earth, a place to really stretch your abilities to help you achieve your ultimate goal, and we get to benefit from the fruits of your labour of love.

I do think it's worth including this as well.  😂😅🥴 
When I asked Matt F for an inspirational quote he had this to say:
 

Hey team, I’d love for you to give a warm welcome to Invision Community’s new developer, @Matt Finger
You want some sweet sweet Achievements addons? Then be extra nice to him 😉  
So you can get to know Matt F better, I held a mini-interview with the 20-year-old developing prodigy. I said what I said. 
When he’s not coding, he’s cooking, fixing things (like cars, bikes, electronics, etc) and reading up on science, physics and philosophy. 
After asking him about his hobbies, I cut to the chase and asked him about his passion for coding and a few of his past experiences with it. He flexed his knowledge of philosophy right away. 

🤯🤯🤯

He continued: “That being said, we're faced with the question of, 'how to improve upon one's ability to reason?' We improve upon our ability to reason the same way we can get better at most things: do it over and over again while challenging yourself more and more each time. And in the case of our ability to reason, problem solving and solution finding is, in my experience, the best way to challenge our ability to reason, therefore making it most conducive to increasing said ability to reason, in turn allowing ourselves to achieve our true potential. And software development persistently presents new problems to solve and solutions to find a great way to flex our brains and get better at reasoning.”
“So to sum up, to me, developing is more than writing code, it's more than solving problems. It's a way to achieve my true potential as a human being.”
“Plus it's fun.”
Welcome to the fam, Matt F!
Please drop a line in the comments and spread the good vibes 😎 

I've watched this topic with interest and have evaluated the responses, both positive and negative.  My own personal take on reactions is that they should emulate the forum type, both in its fundamental basis and consideration for its members. These two combined should be the foundation of the reactions types, along with their meanings so that people can 'react' accordingly in reference to the topics generated.
Reactions should be carefully curated to enhance rather than detract from the responses you want from people.  If there are no defined meanings to the reaction images and their alternate text references, they become meaningless and pointless.
I would imagine that as a base admins would want reactions for the following (all entirely optional):
Like Thanks Agree Funny Sad Disagree  The above cover most of the reactions people will respond with to potentially the vast number of responses to topics/posts.  What images are used can be anything that reflects the nature of the site.  Anything else can be added as an optional, but there must be some significant interpretation to them otherwise they would be unproductive.  The Meow Cat on here for example; what does it mean or signify?
Reactions are emotive symbolism and as such need to be curated to accentuate an emotional response - whereby a written response should be deemed as objective/subjective depending on the topic and it's responses.  These are important aspects of a site and should be added with consideration, rather than a whim.  Just my two penneth 🙂

Quick thanks to everyone for sharing their thoughts in this topic and I really appreciate the time spent in doing so. Whether we agree or disagree on things, it's nice to see dialogue and always good to read other people's perspectives.
Morrigan, quick thanks for the explanations on those terms! I thought I was up to speed on Twitter acronyms but haven't used it much in recent years, far too much bile for my liking!

I don't miss the confused reaction but I do miss the sad reaction. We are living in a tumultuous time right now with a global pandemic, and more. You don't always have the words to express that you are feeling for that person's difficult time and seeing a bunch of empty "I'm so sorry"'s in a thread I think is just as damning as no one replying at all to someone's rough time. The sad reaction gave people a means to offer support, show that they read the post without replying with an empty platitude that means even less than a supportive reaction.
 

Easycron will sort you out in the blink of an eye, and they're cheap too.  I use them and have never had any issues.  I use their starter pack which is $12 a YEAR.

Yup, but I tend to leave the 'young' part for others to use lol.  I was playing in a band when I was your age and loving every magical moment of it, so ALWAYS do what you love most and enjoy it to the full.  I have wonderful memories of playing my beautiful Gibson Flying V MkII and bashing out some AC/DC, Deep Purple, UFO, Free and a few others besides.
That was mine on the left, with gold plated machine heads, bridge, pickup surrounds and tail plate, single piece body and the only Gibson that had single coil pickups.

Happy Birthday - you're half my age, enjoy your youth while you can as it fast disappears lol
