SammyS reacted to sadams101 in PageSpeed Insights - Score
It has taken me ~3 months since upgrading to 4.5 (working with @Adlago) to recover my site speed, and eliminate the dozens of W3 html errors inherent in the standard version of IPB, and I won't be stopping until I'm in the 90% area for mobile (I'm currently at 97-98% for desktop). I'm just shocked that these issue continue in the latest versions, and in some ways were actually worse and harder to deal with in 4.5 than in 4.4.

SammyS reacted to Fast Lane! in Amp pages (seo boost)
We are leaving a lot on the table without this. IP Pages is ripe for being amp ready. Blogs too.

SammyS reacted to Adlago in Is there a mobile app ?
Maybe your theme needs optimization ...
For APP - operation of this beta APP depends on your theme. Errors in the theme also affect the APP. Theme templates use code to restrict parts of your theme in APP. You can notice them as:
{{if !request.isApp()}} code from your theme {{endif}} Also, incorrectly used rules for CSS in a theme cause unpleasant experiences in the APP.

SammyS reacted to Feneroin in If zero, no need showing
Just a little suggestion about 'Who's Online'
For example:
Who is Online: 3 Members, 0 Anonymous, 20 Guests
If there is no anonymous user, system must hide it automatically like:
Who is Online: 3 Members, 20 Guests
or if there are only guests on forum:
Who is Online: 20 Guests
It'll be a little better, right?

HTML --> CSS --> PHP (easier for beginners). Js is hell: tackle it after you learned php so you´re more confident.

What's New in Version 1.1.2:
Removes the option to choose the order events will be displayed in Calendar Events block. They will be ordered by date event, just like Upcoming Events widget. Adds a new block: Guest Block. You can add a multi language message. It will also display the Sign In and Sign Up buttons. -

I removed the option to set the order in block, as they doesn't make sense in events, and they're ordered now by the event date, just like the Upcoming Events widget.
New version will also have a Guest Block, so you can add a message. It will also display the Sign In and Sign Up buttons on it.

Also, if you prefer a Marketplace solution, this claims to do what you're asking:
We have not used it, yet may be an option for you to consider. We prefer to address problematic traffic before it its the web server by having Cloudflare intercede.

SammyS reacted to Interferon in Analyzing IPB communities aggregate data
Does IPB collect statistical data and analyze it in terms of user engagement? It would be very powerful if they could survey data from all participating communities and come out with reports like "we found that user engagement increases X% when this change is made".

I already added Blogs. Will add Calendar too. The rest is there, if I recall.

You´re great, man. I was really worry about jackal´s departure but knowing that a top programmer like you is taking over his stuff is reassuring. I´ll be buying this and other apps next month

SammyS reacted to Jordan Miller in Brilliant Discord Integration
Low-key VERY interested in integrating this into my own community. I created a discord channel today and already have a bunch of members joining and chatting. Curious how my Invision Community would perform with this app

SammyS reacted to Adriano Faria in Landing Page ( Support Topic )
I’ll install it on my server today later to see how it goes there.
I’m also adding support to Blogs and all my other apps.

SammyS reacted to Adriano Faria in Members Shop ( Support Topic )
Is it the Downloads issue? I submitted a new version to fix this and another issue on Saturday. It’s pending approval.

SammyS reacted to Pavel Chernitsky in What's going on with the app?
Things change as time passes, and I think it's fair - and even welcome - for companies to change direction if and when they find a better way to achieve the same end-goal. I think going the PWA route is just a stop-gap to let them breathe while continuing to work on the app. I don't think companies should be forced to go down a specific route because they once said something good about it. I'd rather be a customer for a company who's "brave" and flexible enough to realize the path they went down is a bad idea and be open and honest about it.

SammyS reacted to CoffeeCake in I'm using nulled and want to switch paid one.
I'm assuming "nulled" means you pirated the software and its been modified in some way by someone to make it easier to pirate or not require a valid license key. Whoever modified the software to allow you to do this may not have the highest ethical standards, and for all you know, your copy may be doing not great things. You should likely treat your data and filesystem as suspect and as if they were compromised.
Rather than copy over valid files on your existing site, I would suggest that the safest way to proceed would be to use the importers to import the data from your existing situation into a legally purchased copy. I would not bring over any themes or plugins from your existing version, and instead ensure that those are acquired separately and from legitimate sources.
Kudos on you for being open and transparent.

SammyS reacted to Joel R in What's going on with the app?
The engagement and feedback in the Feedback forum has been much better recently.
I also want to affirm that telling clients "no updates at this time" is useful and welcome. While we may die a little inside when we don't hear our ideas get picked up, it gives clarity to users.

SammyS reacted to Pavel Chernitsky in Post Before Registering - Statistics?
I don't think there is a separate stat for that. But I can tell you that when we first enabled it our registrations more than doubled. From around 50-70 a week to around 150+
*the second jump was after we've enabled Facebook+Google login.

SammyS reacted to Fosters in Notices - Supporttopic
Thanks, that's fixed in 2.0.1
I'm leaving this for 2.1.0 which will get a complete overhaul of the possible output options ( better styling options, more designs, etc..)
