Anecdotally I will say that IN_DEV locally feels a lot faster to me on PHP 8 than it does on PHP 7. I haven't measured speeds for both, however.

Meta keywords are like "tags" but only for search engines - they're embedded in the HTML document, but visitors don't see them visually.
Tags can also be useful for SEO purposes, but are primarily a means to allow end users to cross-link similar content. If your community is about pets, people might use tags like "cat", "dog", "hamster", etc. When reading a topic about a hamster, I could click the tag and see all other topics that also have a "hamster" tag to see content I may be interested in.
You can simply disable tags in the AdminCP if you don't wish to use them. This is a better option IMO than allowing tags to be used but not displaying them to the end user.

As per my reply in your other identical post...
 

Adding that parameter will effectively tell the backend confirmedDelete() method that the request was confirmed.
The typical manner of doing this is to add the data-confirm attribute to the link, and then call confirmedDelete() on the backend. Don't forget to use a CSRF check if appropriate (which is most likely the case if you are deleting something through a GET request).

1) Convert MyISAM tables to InnoDB
2) Make sure that your MySQL server is tuned for InnoDB.
3) Follow the general recommendations
Beyond that, you haven't really clarified - are you sure MySQL is the problem? There are many web server optimizations that can make a huge difference too. Do you use a CDN of any sort, or reverse proxy caching?

A patch was released today to address this issue.

Our director has chosen to purchase the copyright removals from IPB and from IPSFocus, thank you all kindly for your help.

We have been testing PHP 8 compatibility locally and it will be included in a future release, however I can't say exactly when that will be. I can say that certain third party libraries we use will also need updates before we can fully support PHP 8.

Btw, super minor, but also notice in the if
data-ipsDialog-title="{lang="share_this_post"}" d='elSharePost_{$comment->$idField}' should be id=, instead of d=

As others have mentioned, in order to remove the copyright line you need to purchase the branding removal option in your client area. Removing the "Powered by" line without purchasing branding removal constitutes a violation of the license agreement and would most typically lead to the license being terminated.

Downloads uses the friendly URL path of "/files". Do you happen to have an actual folder on your server named "files"? If so, Apache would route the request to that folder and the request would never make it to our software - the solution would be to rename that folder to something else.

I've logged a bug report to have this checked into, thanks.

Well, I figured there was a chance that would happen.
So, I went to "Advanced Configuration" in the ACP and at the bottom of the first tab, "Server Environment," there is a "Template Disk Cache Path" setting.
Derp.
Anyway, all set now. Thanks, and maybe this can help someone in the future.

JIT isn't something the application explicitly uses - it's a feature of the language that can be enabled or disabled in php.ini. It will be used if you enable it in your PHP configuration, in other words. Whether it will improve performance or not remains to be seen.

$( '#elMyMenu' ).on( 'menuOpened', function( elemID, originalEvent, menu ) { }); $( '#elMyMenu' ).on( 'menuClosed', function( elemID, menu ) { });  

Thank you! That was the example I needed - also finally found the guides, my own fault I had a pop-up blocker that was hiding the element of "More" and the entire upper line with links on this site - I'll be off to the races now!!

Just to note, I can't think of anywhere the user's signature would show if they don't have any content submitted.
That said, I've come around to the suggestion after the explanations and have raised it internally for further consideration.

(1) You can make this change yourself, as noted above.
(2) This is a recommendation, not a requirement.

Profile information that is spammy or offensive.
Imagine a new member registering and entering in something completely inappropriate in a free-text field. They never post, but maybe it's a link to something not okay for the community, or contains wildly offensive remarks about another member, or a group of people, etc. etc.
We've seen it all. Absolutely should have a "report this member" option on the profile.

Please use the "Refresh license data" button and see if the message goes away. If it does, it was a temporary issue on our end that has since been resolved. If it does not and you believe you should have access to the service, submit a ticket so we can take a look.

I am trying to set a certain color for a Group Name. However, in ACP when I click the "Use Color" option -- it lets me change the color but removes the HTML <strong> codes, which I still want. I would like to have the Group Name appear in Bold in a certain color. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.
Never mind. I was able to get the code put in correctly now and have it fixed!
