I'm pretty sure the answer to this is "Yes" but if I buy the commerce add-on, can I use it to create an "Ad free" membership that automatically adds users to a group, then use that group to hide adverts for those users?

I was searching the community to see if this was possible, we have a few bad actors that try and bully other users by downvoting everything they write and at the moment we've had to switch off reactions apart from the up vote. Being able to restrict usage of the reactions by group would be a great addition.

We're undergoing a bit of a spam attack at the moment, lots and lots of registrations from the same 2 or 3 domains and they're all bouncing. We use Sendgrid for our email on their free tier and this current problem has tipped us over our free tier usage limit which is a pain. Normally we get 5 or 6 new registration attempts a day but for the past 3 or 4 days it's been approaching 100, which is our limit for emails. Given the low numbers it's probably someone trying manually all day but it would be nice to ban those domains they are trying to use.

I've installed your plugin and it works great, thanks. I have a couple of suggestions/question for you ... 1) It would be great if users couldn't remove ignore settings added by admins. 2) Is there any way to open it up to moderators so they can use the tool as well?

Is there any way for mods & admins to permanently hide users & their posts from one another? A bit like the ignore function that users have, but that admins can use? We have a few users that just won't stop antagonising each other.

No, there's no failures on the console, plenty of successful calls to the backend though.

If I expand the blocks sidebar and drag one into a location where I would like it, then click "Finished Editing", when I browse away and come back to the page, the block is missing, it's not been saved. It does this on every page, even the ones that already have blocks on them.

If I create 2 adverts and assign them both to the same area of the site it only ever shows 1 or the other. I'd like to be able to show an ad at the top of the sidebar and one at the bottom, is that possible?

In an effort to re-activate some old accounts we recently sent an email to anyone that hasn't logged in for more than 90 days, and among those we had a large % bounce. I have a list of all the bounced emails, is there an easy way to unsubscribe them all from future emails?

Can I integrate SES the same way Sendgrid is? I thought SG was the only option.

I've got my own app (a Nuxtjs based magazine site) on the same domain as IPS & I'm trying to check from Nuxt if the user is logged in to IPS & get their ID so I can use it to make sure they only submit a form (a vote) once. The cookie that holds the ID is HttpOnly so I can't get it from Javascript, the cookie will be passed to the Nuxt app because it's on the same domain, just in different folders. Is there another call I can make on the API that returns any info about the logged in user? I don't really want to have to add oath because then they'd have to log in to the same app twice which would be a pain. Any ideas?

Time to get the cap in hand out & go to the beancounters for some money to buy Sendgrid 😉

Yeah, it's using GMail's smtp service, I guess they'll limit it fairly heavily.

After our site relaunched I tried to send a bulk email to users who hadn't logged in for more than 90 days to try and re-activate them, about 5800 users all together. After about 300 emails the rest failed and now I have 200+ pages of failed emails all with the error: > MAIL FROM:<admin@brfcs.com> and that's all. If I click to resend, it works, but there's 200+ pages of them, is it possible to resend them all?

I'm trying to hook up to the API to get a list of pinned topics to display on another website and the only way I can get it to work is by using an API key with basic auth, I'd prefer to use it with the X-Authorization header described in the docs, whenever I use that though I get an invalid API key error. I've tried it raw, base64 encoded & base64 encoded with the : on the end but I always get an invalid api key error. I'm using 4.5.3.2 which should be OK according to the docs.

Can someone tell me, or point me towards documentation that tells me how friendly URLs are put together? I'm trying to convert a site that has had friendly URLs switched on for a long time, but I'm trying to enable URL rewrites to kind of finish the job. My current config for NGINX looks like this: location / { index index.php index.html index.htm; try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$uri&$args; root /var/www/ips/; } I thought that might do it, and it works for bits, but not everything. For example the URL http://example.com/forums/ gets translated correctly to http://example.com/index.php?/forums/ which works, but a topic URLlike https://example.com/forums/topic/12345-this-is-a-topic/ ends up with a too many redirects error. I suspect I should be using the rewrite directive rather than try files, but I've not figured out the right config yet ... has anyone else configured this already?

I run my site via Docker, and didn't specify the version of the PHP-FPM image I wanted to use and during a server migration I couldn't get past this error: www_1 | 2020/12/23 17:46:29 [error] 35#35: *9 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /var/www/brfcs/mb/system/3rd_party/JShrink/Minifier.php on line 546" while reading response header from upstream, client: 194.35.116.206, server: tugay.brfcs.com, request: "GET /mb/ HTTP/2.0", upstream: "fastcgi://172.19.0.3:9000", host: "tugay.brfcs.com" Turns out JSShrink has issues with PHP 8 at the moment ...

Sorry, I really should have seen that!

Is there any way to stop users from using the site util they agree to a new set of T&Cs?

Thanks both of you for your help.

I can't see anything in admin relating to podcasts ...

I'm guessing there's some directory structure hidden in that class name? cms/database/podcasts_display/record ?

I've just upgraded our server to the latest version and one of the pages is now throwing this error, it's displaying a record from a page we have set up to list all our podcasts. We started fresh with a new default template for this upgrade so we haven't imported something from the old template, I'm stuck at the moment.

Hi Adriano, Thanks for the offer, but a combination of making lots of changes to the Articles setup to get it working properly (it wasn't really used in v4, but had plenty of v3 data in it) and adding and removing the plugin a couple of times, fixed it.
