Ha! Nice catch! I would have never seen that. I set it to the normal Capcha and that did the trick. Thanks all, and @Nathan Explosion for his eagle eyes. 👀

No....not really. The ones that are there seem to be referring to an original upload. I tried the password recovery several times today and it's not showing. I had a member do the same thing earlier today, but I don't see anything in that regard.

Hello. I'm having trouble with the "Forgot your password?" link in the login form. When a user enters their email and clicks Recover Password, it doesn't do anything. I tried opening it in a new window without any luck. I reset the theme to the generic theme and tried disabling all customizations, but I'm getting the same result. I recently moved my file uploads to S3, if that makes any difference. https://www.scrollsawvillage.com/lostpassword/ Thank you for your assistance.

I think I got it working. I'm not sure what did it....changing it to run a cron job, changing the uploads directory to 0777, or deleting that one large file. At any rate, it started processing again. Once the processing was done, it finished up the rest of the backlogged tasks.

So if it's trying to move a large file, that may be causing an issue? Looking at System>Files>Attachments and sorting by size, I see a few large files. Could I simply delete these? Do you think that would jiggle it loose? Along with the Cron Job recommendation, I set up the cron job on the server. When I tried saving the task method on the Advanced Configuration, I got this: I looked on my FTP to look at permissions (using Filezilla), I see these permissions:

I have a fair amount of traffic. About 40-80 users usually at a time. I figured the regular traffic would be sufficient. But I can try setting up a cron job if that will jiggle loose the stuck background tasks.

I got this from HostGator: I turned off all extensions, custom themes, and disabled all of the integrations. I have about 35 background processes that are still stuck. The Moving Attachment Files seemed to cause the whole issue. I turned off Submitting Data to IndexNow extension, but those are still in by BackgroundProcesses queue. The Reindexing comments on Hello, Beginner Here has also been stuck for several days. It will process other things every once in a while, but it's slow. The rest still seems to be stuck. I'm not sure what to do. Is there a way to kill the background process? Or maybe see what Moving Attachment Files is stuck on? Or maybe I have some server environment settings in the Advanced Configuration area that aren't playing nice? Setting up a cron job help? I'm really grasping for straws. I really don't know what is going on or what to do next. I'm afraid this is going to crash my entire site. Can someone log in and see what's going on? 🙏

Here's what I got from HostGator: I replied with the following: And they responded with: I've noticed that new forum attachments are not going to S3....they're still in the uploads directory on my server. (example: https://www.scrollsawvillage.com/forums/topic/52624-standing-miniature-birdhouses/) So it seems like any new attachments are pointing to the right place. However, when I moved the Gallery images to s3 (last Tues or Wed), that went without a hitch. New Gallery images are going to S3. So the connection to S3 seems OK. (example: https://www.scrollsawvillage.com/gallery/image/16987-maltese-puppyjpg/?context=new You must be logged in to view Gallery) I currently have about 35 backlogged processes. Some of them seem to go through, but maybe not fast enough? I don't know where to go from here.

I came back to check on things and the background processes are really starting to back up. Right now, I have 26 in the queue. I checked logs in the Locked Taks: Queue and there's nothing in there.

I checked my server logs from my cpanel>metrics>errors Here is the only reference to my website that runs IP board. (I have a few Wordpress sites under different domains, but on the same server) I can access admin area just fine, though, so maybe it was an isolated incident. Or maybe it threw that error when tried running the locked task and I got that 503 error.

Hello. I'm having trouble with the background moving of files. My hosting company was getting cranky about how many & size of my files, so I set up an S3 storage. I moved one section at a time, starting with some small areas such as blogs images/attachments, downloads, etc. Once that worked fine, I moved onto a larger area (my Gallery), which also went well and was completed in a few hours. My last move was Attachments. it seemed to go well for awhile, then it stalled out at 73% and has been that way for over 12 hours. I think it's stuck. It seems like other background processes are going through, but seem a bit slow. I tried clearing my cache and disabling plugins for a while, but that didn't seem to do anything. there's a locked Task, that I tried running, but that gives me an error: Sorry, that didn’t work. Please try again or come back later. 503 Error. Service Unavailable. Thank you for your help!

Thank you. You've been very helpful. I really appreciate it!

Thank you. I'm following your instructions. A couple of questions, if you don't mind. For the restricted directory or URL section, can I put just the root, and that will take care of any sections that the bot can't read? For instance, I have guests be able to read topic titles, but not the content unless they're logged in. Or do I have to supply the full path for each specific area that would require a login? Lastly, for _processLogin, is the parameter value "usernamepassword", or is it the auth parameter followed by the password parameter? (so using your example "user@emailaddress.comthepassword" Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the info. Is the BOTS member group a default group with IP Board? Or do you suppose that come over when I migrated from my old board?

Here's a silly question that I'm trying to find the answer to, but seem to be coming up short. I'm revamping my Google Adsense and I get crawler errors from time to time. Usually, it's when they're trying to access stuff from behind a login account. The ads I'm getting don't seem to be all that targeted. So I'm thinking maybe they're just serving generic ads because they can't read the content? I'm wondering if I have to do something about adding permissions for these crawlers. I have a member group called BOTS. Is that a default group that IPBoard created for google bots and the like? Am I supposed to create accounts for them? I moved over to IP Board from PHPBB many years ago. So I'm not sure if this group name is a remnant from that old system and unrelated to IPBoard. I guess the question is, do I need to do anything to allow these crawlers? Is the BOTS group something I need? Or is the ad serving more based on the user and what the user can see? Thanks for your insight!
