MariaDB 10.6 is very good, no problems here

Im running a forum on PHP 8.1.1 and no problems found (yet)

I have a renewal pending and the price hasn't changed

I know all that
1. Sometimes its helpful not to have to edit out sensitive information - I consider this a waste of my time - if I could just open a support ticket - id send you the info and not have to worry if any sensitive info is on there - instead I have to check and then black out anything I dont want seen publicly - a waste of my time
2. If its started here..... then it goes to a ticket - yes we continue to do it on the tickets - but the thread is now split - if your trying to have it so other members can see the outcome then when its on a ticket or with sensitive information you cant publish then its all kind of gone wrong in my humble opinion......

I agree, the new style forum support doesnt work for me.
1. You cannot (if you wish to remain anonymous) post sensitive information here
2. You start a support topic here and then have to reply to an email ticket - now the support is split across here and an email so completely disjointed
I find it horrible and mostly confusing and irritating......

@Mediamage If your on a cPanel host then go to your cPanel 
Normally https://yourdomain.whatever:2083
In there in files is backup wizard, generate a full backup and then use FTP to download it or go back to the backup page once you get an email from cpanel that its finished (generate full backup) and click the backup link and you will be able to download it




 
 

Check to see if redis is running from the command line (SSH)
[18:41][root@server.myserver.com ~]# redis-cli ping PONG the command redis-cli ping should return PONG at the command line
To check the Redis Server info type redis-cli info server at the command line
 
[18:42][root@server.myserver.com ~]# redis-cli info server # Server redis_version:6.2.6 redis_git_sha1:00000000 redis_git_dirty:0 redis_build_id:4ab9a06393930489 redis_mode:standalone os:Linux 3.10.0-1160.59.1.el7.x86_64 x86_64 arch_bits:64 multiplexing_api:epoll atomicvar_api:c11-builtin gcc_version:8.3.1 process_id:1674 process_supervised:systemd run_id:043da472ae3981c1a97423caed2f788cfaf9ebad tcp_port:6379 server_time_usec:1647196988402886 uptime_in_seconds:679823 uptime_in_days:7 hz:10 configured_hz:10 lru_clock:3029820 executable:/usr/bin/redis-server config_file:/etc/redis/redis.conf io_threads_active:0  

Allow customers to disable spam defense when they don't have active license anymore. It's annoying to see the log spam with 403. I can't change the configuration at present.

If your running CSF firewall then you can enable the stopforumspam IPs in 
/etc/csf/csf.blocklists by removing (un commenting) the # behind the last line of each block

Social media companies are constantly adding value and creating better user experiences for "free" for their users to partake of.
How will any upcoming features (or improvements to existing features) being planned for release in the next year "really" tip the balance in our favor for current or future users to pay us for what they can readily get free elsewhere? 
"Your" heart might be in the right place, but the lack of clarity from IPS makes it difficult to plan, grow and monetize a site that will be around for years to come with just a vague hint here or there of what might be upcoming in the months to come.
As it stands today, there is no way to plan for the long term, how can one do that based on vague hints here or there? 
The only real chance of being a successful site is to plan for the future so that one can implement a new feature in such a way as to minimize disruption to the existing community and to maximize its overall value, and maybe, just maybe figure out how one might monetize it.
Having new features sprung on us on a monthly basis with little to no forewarning that they are on the way prevents their introduction to the community in a planned fashion.  Often times a new feature or refinement of an existing feature has an impact on the community forcing users and admins to be in constant reaction mode.  Many folks like platforms with a modicum of stability and notices of upcoming changes, unfortunately with you as our software platform provide, we can't offer that to them. 
Maybe IPS could create a new user group for those that would like to be kept a little more in the loop.  Anyone that opts into such a group would be kept more apprised of your long-term development plans and changes you might make to said plans or upcoming deprecation of features. Inclusion to this group would come with the promise to not mention anything discussed with those not a member of the group without express permission from IPS management.
This group wouldn't necessarily be tasked with providing input in favor or disagreement of any upcoming feature. That should be left to the customer base as a whole and should happen more often than you currently do. IPS management and developers have pretty good instincts but could benefit from other pair of eyes on occasion.
I'm particularly vocal of late as I've had to start and stop a large project as you have deprecated certain features or added or changed features that completely altered various planned implementations.  I think that I've hit upon a platform that would work but I have zero expectations that by the time I set up the platform suite and third-party apps that it will still play well with each other in the months to come.  I don't expect 100% clarity on the part of IPS (at least overnight), but a significant improvement would certainly be welcomed by the community I'm sure.

Anyone that does by an Invision Community hoodie may look as cool as me (but I doubt it tbh) 😆

that footer could be a game changer for me
 
 
 

I think more than ever sites are looking at any means they can to help monetize their sites as expenses to run their sites keep increasing.  <Here's looking at you IPS>
Are any "new features" in the pipeline this year likely to appreciably help us to further monetize our sites?  We can't effectively compete against Social Media companies by "trying" to replicate their feature set so why are we chasing down that path?
A conversation we should be having is what unique features could we collectively come up with to entice people to spend their precious time on our sites and cover our expenses more readily and maybe make a few dollars for ourselves. 💰
 
 

Not trying to be negative, just how I feel.  As others above have said, aside from things like Zapier that you almost never her members talk about, what new features have we seen?  I only update my support because I'm still waiting on a bug fix I reported a long time ago.
Instead of meaningful updates, we get mostly bug fixes, and a new store, not using your software.  I don't think there will be many purchases of an IPS hoodie, but I could be wrong.

Let me guess, the new features are Zapier connected socks and shirts. That's a revolution in forum software technology. Great job guys.

Its pretty dead as far as any revamp or major updates go like pages.....
Then do a major update of Commerce and make it happen
A major upgrade to Pages & Commerce ? Or do you mean they have yet again got missed off the agenda and its just forums......

Disappointed that the store was not built with Commerce....
Why do you guys not use your own products? Support with Commerce is ceased, now brand shop with Shopify. What next? Moving community blog to WordPress? Gallery to Instagram? Clubs to Facebook groups and Calendar to Google? Then "just" connect everything with Zapier. 

Are you bored there or something? 

I agree, having a user option to turn these off would be useful.
