Practically every allocated resource and configuration on your server(s), your community's usage of various features, resources allocated/consumed by the various services and tools powering your community, your community's guest to member ratio, and the design and architecture of your server(s) setup.

From what I can see, in recent versions you either use Redis for "Data Storage Method", or you won't be able to select any "Caching Method" (i.e. to use Redis as "Caching Method", you also need to use Redis as "Data Storage Method").  So, I guess Redis is the way to go.

We have been using filesystem for sometime and just updated to 4.5 and wondering with new description under data storage tab, which one is more advisable for faster, yet stable performance.
Filesystem MySQL Redis We are on 64 gb dedicated server for single site with regular peak traffic during certain hours of the day.

Add a drop-down menu item in the Menu Manager and place the items you'd like in the drop down menu in there instead of having them indented underneath a parent item.
You have lots of questions! It may be a good idea to brew a fresh cup of coffee and review the Help Guides:

Here's the entry on setting up your menu:
 

Cloudflare Polish is activated for your site, and your logo is being served from Cloudflare's cache. Your image is being converted into a webp file for those browsers that support webp, and the original format you used was a JPEG image. JPEG is really only good for things like photographs and is rarely an appropriate format for something like a logo. You'd want to use a transparent PNG file or similar until something svg or webp is supported natively by IPS.
You have some options. You can turn off the Polish feature entirely on Cloudflare or use a page rule to make an exception for your logo. You will need to clear the cache for your image from Cloudflare though to see any changes. Documentation: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000607372-Using-Cloudflare-Polish-to-compress-images
See the headers associated with your logo image, as served from carnity.com:
cf-bgj: imgq:100,h2pri cf-cache-status: HIT cf-polished: origFmt=jpeg, origSize=13060 content-disposition: inline; filename="1802184490_Carnitylogoapr2021.webp" content-length: 9220 content-type: image/webp

You can adjust the theme's CSS. By default, the logo is 100% of the height of --responsive-header--height.
Perhaps you want the --responsive-header--height to be taller?

Hello,
It looks like you're already using custom.css to change the background of the active link. Simply add your new color value to that and it'll work.
For example, change this:
.ipsNavBar_primary > ul > li.ipsNavBar_active > a { background: #f5f5f5; } To this:
.ipsNavBar_primary > ul > li.ipsNavBar_active > a { background: #f5f5f5; color: #111; }  

Cheers @Nathan Explosion this xml plugin also works perfectly.
Hope this help others too in the future.

@Gauravk remove that direct edit of the widget file, and use this plugin instead.
EDIT: updated plugin to force the usort to only run when the upcomingEvents widget is the item calling the function
 
(NE) Re-sort Upcoming Events widget_1.0.1.xml

No worries - if I can spot a way to do this without a code edit (ie via a plugin) then I will change the above.
If you do want to donate to my beer fund then ping me a pm 😄
 

Removed direct code edit information

Why you gotta be that way, guys? @Jordan Invision
 

Funnily enough, as it is a Widget in the Calendar app, and it's the "Upcoming events", there is an obvious file to look at as a starting point...
application\calendar\widgets\upcomingEvents.php
And in there, the following line gets the list of events:
$events = \IPS\calendar\Event::retrieveEvents( $_today, $endDate, ( $calendars === NULL ? NULL : !\is_array( $calendars ) ? array( $calendars ) : $calendars ), $count, FALSE ) Which directs you to applications\calendar\sources\Event\Event.php, where the retrieveEvents function lives. And it contains 264 lines of code (or more, or less, depends on your IDE and settings) to look through. And that takes more time to do...and would require it to be sent to the developers, not the front-line support guys, to work on and will take them away from already existing work they are doing on v4.6.
If I have the time later, then I'll look through that code but NO promises at all being given here.
Don't set a precedent.

Not sure what you've provided a screenshot of, but here's the documentation for ModSecurity:
https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/wiki
I'd recommend reading up on what it does and how the various configurations impact your site. It will stop things that it "thinks" are bad and may not be bad.

This is normally a server log.

Yes safe to delete. Your server will recreate it.

Yes - in short, those 'errors' specific to /datastore/ are not a concern. Delete any contents after migration and the IPS software will rebuild it.

@newbie LAC I cannot thank you enough for this WONDERFUL quick code edits.
Worked perfectly and does exactly what we want, to pick location based on real user location. 
Please PM me plugin option with your charges, Im happy to buy that so that I don't go through code edits after every upgrade.
EXCELLENT WORK, THANKS A LOT. YOU ARE A TRUE SUPERSTAR.

 

@Admin can we have IPB pick up billing country based on real location of IP than the language?
In my Samsung note I use UK English and I see billing country as UK, in my desktop I use US English and I see billing country as US, whereas both devices are bought and used all the time in Dubai and both of the devices default location set at as Dubai, UAE.

I know its linked with user device location, but that's causing many ppl to punch UAE address when their device shows UK or US as in UAE while installing new OS many people use UK or US english than UAE as many are non Arabic speakers.
Hope there is a way out from this to set a default country to UAE by script edit or database edit etc. 
This is impacting us a lot and so far 3 users reported so we had a chance to explain but 100's pending invoices generated - god knows coz of billing error or abandoned cart (usual behaviour).
Please help, thanks in advance. 

Over 50% of our offroad users are on IOS and they upload MOV file that doesn't play in browser.
Any clue/idea how to embed MOV files in IPB and play them without downloading them, just like MP4 video files.....?
@Clover13 @Joy Rex @AlexWebsites have you guys found some solution?
It's very disappointing and painful that we still cannot support IOS users.

I would say that this subject still remains a preference to the Server Administrator. Each one of them has their pros and cons, but at the end of the day, it depends on what the Server Administrator feels more comfortable with. Regarding stability I would say both Ubuntu and CentOS are pretty stable and wont be EOL anytime soon.

AqWhat's wrong with centOS? I also use it and i prefer it over Ubuntu. It is amazingly stable, reliable, and doesn't give me any headache. Enough to be my #1 choice...

I am using Debian so far and no issues since last 12 years.
