I was having a /usr/sbin/mysqld spike to over 100% CPU under my server processes. I had to kill it to stop it but it would creep back up. I checked a slow query log and nothing. Disabled bouncer and the issue is gone. Any ideas? MYSQL 8, using Amazon SES

I have to agree. Every image page refreshed. I almost would have rathered a built in slider like the main page block and if you click on the image, then it takes you to the image page. So you get internal links to image pages.
I have a banner ad above and its not positioned well for this and doesn't play nice.

Maybe only check boxes come up if you apply the filter per app basis. It would make it so much easier to organize content.

No additional work required - I've found their oembed endpoint. Create a custom endpoint as follows:

Note: ignore the "Apply to these groups?" setting - that appears to have a bug which I will resolve at a later point.
Once you've added the custom endpoint, go to the group(s) that you want to be able to use it, and there is an 'oembed' tab there where you can configure what the group has access to use.
Once done, the  https://www.canva.com/design/DAFZWegAizg/view link will embed as an iframe in the Editor.
 

Way too expensive. Currently, I pay 300$ yearly. I would need your Creator Pro and this is 1788$ a year (the cheap option). Even if I count in my hosting costs it's more than double the price tag. And I would have to pay my server anyway because I run more applications on it than only Invision Community.

I always wonder how comes @Randy Calvert hasn't got a job as an IPS official spokesperson with an IPS staff badge. Or is he a paid IPS employee on the hush-hush¿ 🤫 

That's not true, trust me. I think AlexWebsite note is right on the point i.e. monetizing. I have seen much larger groups for Trading and other things. I used to think as well i.e. Discord is popular in just gaming but when I noticed other groups focused on Infra/Ops Monitoring, Trading, OpenAI etc. my perspective has changed. 
 

I can see that, if you are not really into monetizing your community. For me, it wouldn’t work. If I’m not earning from monetizing my sites, I’m not really interested. 

It may be the same core software, but the technology used for some Cloud-only features are not easy to implement for the average Joe wanting to start up a community and requires more than just uploading Invision Community files to your server.
Thank you for your kind words. It's what we strive for.
There are always considerations that need to be taken into account of course. You've got to see what direction most benefits you and/or your community and go from there.
Sometimes others beat us to it. We have team members from all around the world and we try our best to reply in a timely manner, but if someone else decides to chime in, then that helps us too (I mean this more specifically in the Help & Support forum as you are referring to paying for support). If we feel certain individuals need to be pulled up on something, we have no hesitation in going down that path too.
Discord appeals mostly to the gaming sector as they build their platform to support gamers. Much like Twitch is to the gaming industry. They can use YouTube (in fact a lot started that way) but have opted for Twitch as it provides them with the right tools to engage with their followers/subscribers. That's their niche market in my opinion having used both platforms for a few years now. Create a channel -> Invite friends or other fans -> Play and stream the game for others to join, watch or engage.
I have had many websites and communities in the past. I would always start with the free options, but as you get older and earn a living, you have some money aside where you can invest in something that you were not able to do before. You are more open (or able) to taking risks. If it doesn't work out, then so be it.
I'm sure if Invision Community wanted to cater to a single market, their product suite would be targeting that market alone. Fact of the matter is we are not, so whilst we do our best to cater to a wide variety of audiences, industries, the small community, larger enterprise clients, etc, it's just impossible to make everyone happy.

I would be interested as well as we continue to watch features not available to self-hosted clients. I have multiple licenses and although not happy about the direction, I can understand business models changing. I don't fault IPS for evolving and differentiating services. At some point I will probably have to make some hard decisions myself, hopefully way down the road. Cloud pricing just does not compare to having multi-license self server/hosting. Plus, I can tweak and modify my environment as needed. I run my own cloud..lol. 
As far as non-IPS staff members jumping into topics like this to provide "answers", I have to agree...it can sometimes be a bit annoying as I read threads. I'm not trying to discourage discussion its just that we pay for answers that are sometimes expected from IPS Staff only, just saying.... However, maybe those individuals are "interviewing" for the next open IPS staff role...at least it seems like that. If that's the case, best of luck to those individuals! 👍

@Charles can you roughly tell the ratio of cloud to self-hosted?

A new version has been pushed to the Marketplace and is pending approval. Changes include:
Allow Admins to view a list of users who have unsubscribed from the Newsletter (ACP -> Newsletters -> Subscribers -> Unsubscribed Members ) Allow Admins to export a list of users subscribed to a newsletter Multiple improvements to distribution tracking to prevent loops and users receiving multiple instances of the newsletter Moved population of the distribution list to a background task to prevent timeouts on large sites

Yes, CKEditor claim to have resolved the issue, so we're going to allow Grammarly again and see how it goes.

Just a note for the time being...
One thing self-hosted folks can do is to block the IP range of the spammer(s) using 109.107.166.230, but that needs to be done in the server firewall.
This would be the range to block for that service provider, in CIDR format:
109.107.160.0/19
which blocks 109.107.160.0 through 109.107.191.255
And for that spammer in Iraq... that provider has a huge range of IP's, from 37.236.0.0 to 37.239.255.255 so I personally blocked a fairly small range for them which encompasses the one IP that spammer used:
37.239.8.1/24
(Note: I've added these on my own server already, and it appears I got to it before my sites were hit.)
More blocks can be added as you notice them, but try to keep the ranges small. Blocking a too-large range can cause server issues under the right (wrong?) circumstances.

I don't recall any. My main issue was the delay caused when replying to topics:
Then I had a topic going here: 
 

I haven't had any reports of either things being an issue. Bouncer doesn't really run any complex database queries so I'm not sure why you would be seeing an issue like high CPU usage.
Please create a ticket here: https://ipb.silvesterwebdesigns.com/support (you will need to register if you haven't already). Make sure you include as much information about the issue as possible and provide an FTP/AdminCP login.

Yeah.. I was thinking to order such mod for our commerce.. best would be to set the deals/price drops categories or products, selectable from multi-select list.

Hey,
Some ideas to add to the Commerce system

1.  To add when setting up a new product the option to enter the cost price for the product and not just the actual price sold to the customer.
This way it will be possible to track the net profit and the actual income of the business by offsetting the cost of the product (maybe even adding it to the reports in the control panel, etc...)
2. To add icons to products, for example: on sale, holiday sale, deal, etc. (icon on the product image in one of the upper corners)
This will attract customers to buy more and it will be possible to highlight products in sale

 

 
Thnx !

I just noticed that mysql process on my server is at times peaking over 100% which I find odd. I've killed the process a few times to watch it go back up. I'll have to dig in. Running the latest IPS version and mysql 8. 

I watched the video and it's great to see that gallery video transcoding will be a cloud only feature...

 
That's sarcasm...I hope they at least did something with the titles for SEO.
It really would nice if you allowed self hosting customers to use AWS libraries on their own. Or give a developer the ability to create these features and support with a plugin or app. That goes for all the "cloud only" features. Your cloud pricing is just not comperable to self-hosting, especially multiple licences. 
 

Hard to believe with how widely iPhones are used and how much is accessed on mobile that we don’t have this as native support yet. I started this topic over two years ago…lol.

I have tagged our devs in case there is any update on this. As far as I am aware, there have been no changes to what was originally stated above, however our developers are better placed to know this

Feature suggestion...add member content count to statistics so we can sort by members who have posted a good amount of content and dig into why they flagged as spam or have a bounce.
