I clicked renew and it took be to paypal for $4.00 then failed. Now I have no renew button and no download button. My only option is to buy again for full price. Can you help? @Fosters Never mind, I went to manage purchases and found the pending charge and was able to finish payment. I am looking forward to using this finally. Thank you 🙂

Ok, I have made the purchase. Let me know when the fix is in. Thank you 🙂

Nevermind, I think I would take this if you made the first change. I can pass on the custom time frames per forum. Thank you Also needs to be HIDE not delete. Thank you 🙂

what would the small fee be?

This might not do exactly what I need. I need to set posts in specific forums to hide after a specific number of days from the ORIGINAL post (as opposed to the last reply). Less important but would be nice to have is number of days per forum instead of 1 setting for all. Then I can have one forum that hides posts after 3 days and another that hides posts after 30 days. Then I can sell access to these forums based on tiers. Thank you

I am shocked that there is still not per forum auto prune feature. I have a couple of specific forums that I want to auto prune after topics are 30 days old.

Gosh, you're right and that's a great point. I might be requesting a totally different plugin. But it would be a great one!! It could be called "Close my Account" instead of Delete my account.

I am going to request that this plugin work a little differently. I have noticed that how it removes the account leaves massive holes in the database turning it to swiss cheese of sorts. What if we can BAN users and change their username to something RANDOM instead. Consider the following: Mass Deleting Posts (GLAD THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN) One of the things that makes online forums special is the fact that they are shared spaces. This means that when someone contributes, their contribution directly impacts the contributions of others. There are no walls or profiles, no individual areas where you have to opt-in to a specific person (at least, not usually and not in a way that outweighs the shared spaces). There is simply a space that everyone shares. How relevant is a post? How valuable is it? How enjoyable is it for the person who made the post and for those reading it? This is all affected by the posts that surround it. If you remove 10,000 posts from a forum, 100,000 posts and 10,000 members might be affected in a negative way. If posts made by a member are simply mass deleted, with no discretion, it is very harmful. It harms the community, as a whole, because it lowers the value of other contributions, some of which are the reason that the deleted posts exist in the first place. It harms the community’s history, erasing data and making the community appear smaller than it actually is. It harms the owner of the community, who facilitated something that the member had derived value from, potentially for years, prior to requesting deletion. Worst of all, it harms the people who interacted with the member, who wrote posts that will now either be removed or be less relevant and appear to make no sense in the context of the threads they are posted on. Deleting Accounts (THIS DOES HAPPEN - NOT GOOD) Account deletion is problematic because of how it messes with documentation and your database. When you delete the account, even if you leave the posts, the posts may lose association with a member account, meaning that they are marked as guest posts – no member made them, they simply exist. This makes it impossible to, in the future, look back on those posts and know what account made them. This can really hurt your ability to look back on documentation related to that member, should you ever need to do so. I am a big fan of preserving documentation to ensure that no matter what happens, a year from now, 10 years from now, I can look back and know exactly what that member did, how we handled it, why we banned them, etc. It creates consistent moderation, allows you to know you did the right thing regarding them member and aides you in deciding if and when to unban people. It removes the failings of memory and the passage of time. What’s the Middle Ground? For these reasons, I don’t simply mass delete posts or delete accounts upon request. I can’t allow my community to be harmed in that manner. But, I also want to work with people to, ideally, find a solution that makes everyone happy. With accounts, I don’t delete them, but what I do offer is account closure. This means that the username is changed to something non-descriptive, like username12345. The profile fields (email address, instant messenger names, website URLs, avatars, etc.) are cleared. The account is blocked from further usage (banned) and the member can no longer use it, as it is no longer tied to them or identifiable to them. They cannot sign up for a new account in the future and, once completed, the action is irreversible. This is to separate people who want to actually leave from those who just want attention and to waste my time (and harm the community repeatedly) by joining and then making me delete their existence, over and over again. I explain all of this to the member and ask them to confirm that they want me to move forward with it. Once confirmed, the request is processed with all of the details documented. Regarding posts, while I won’t simply blindly remove a mass amount of posts, I am happy to work with people on any sensitive or identifying information. I simply ask them what their concerns are and how I can help, while minimizing the damage to the people who replied to their posts. Maybe they said something that, in hindsight, they wish they hadn’t in one post and it is harming them in some way in their personal life. Maybe they posted a picture of their son or daughter that they don’t want on the forums. In those cases, I’m happy to help and simply to remove the sensitive posts in question.

I thought you had a way to get rid of "VERSION" in downloads using downloads plus? Version is back. Did something change?

Registered members only. What would be AMAZING, is if the option for "members who are following me only" provided a button on the hidden profile for members to still be able to follow. Allowing folks to use profile visibility as bait for more followers. Which is how everyone thinks this works (and how it should work in my opinion) However, as mentioned above, if that is off the table I will take "registered members only"

I would LOVE that! Can we also include some SQL to undo it in the database and reset all the folks already using that option?

I see this still hasn't been dealt with. I am going to have to remove this mod from my site. It just makes no sense whatever to have a ridiculous option that nobody understands. While well intended: the users don't know what they are doing the folks trying to follow think it's a fat bug. It just plain doesn't make any sense.

I read this whole thread but I don’t see any indication that IPS or 3rd party have decided to start working on this despite overwhelming demand. Hopefully that changes soon.

Why do we need font awesome 5 again? Doesn’t the document weight grow with each iteration of FA? I’m not sure I want to sacrifice speed for more icons

The problem is most users that are not currently following will not understand furthermore most users who set this privacy level will not understand what they are doing. They likely assume people will be able to follow it mostly looks like an error or poorly thought out oversite on my community. Many complaints are coming in. Like LOTS!! instead assuming everyone is going to “bother to read” can we solve for this and make it user friendly?

@TheJackal84

I see what you mean. With my original question I was kinda thinking this is something that IPS should fix. Seems like their original rank logic wasn't thought through completely. They really need to drop a distinct in that query.

OR only count distinct users in the rank query so each user only gets counted 1 time. I can't be the only person who has heard of "distinct" when writing a sql query.

They can download all they want. It's the count in the rank that is causing the issue. I don't mind seeing the same user loads of times in the list of who downloaded, I just don't think it should add up to help rank the file. Just put a "distinct" in the user rank query. This is the whole reason we have SQL distinct functions.

done thank you. Now I will have to upgrade to 4.3 to get the new fixes in DLP 2.2.2 ... soon.

no I am not on 4.3 How do I go back to an old version of dplus?

clicking on any user profile after installing the new downloads plus causes an error. Fatal error: Trait 'IPS\Content\Reportable' not found in /forum/applications/dplus/sources/Support/Support.php on line 25

found an issue that effects downloads plus https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/416549-delete-my-account/?do=findComment&comment=2740089 same issue discussed in the link above effects the "send email" button that is part of downloads plus. A little patch that NEVER allows guests to see "send email" button would be much appreciated. Thank you ?

I’ll report thanks
