    I'm not sure I would recommend living on the moon, to be honest. I believe there arent going to be many good restaurants available, and the air quality sucks
    Not at all. In fact I think you should start by creating a giant slide leading from the bed, to a pool of balls below. Every kid loves a slide.

    @Svetozar Angelov - Sorry to see you are having issues with spam here. I just wanted to pick up on where we are here, as there appears to be a lot of confusion, and I want to clear up where we are.
    We understand you have an issue with spam, and I feel you believe we are in some manner ignoring this. Let me assure you this is certainly not the case. 
    You have stated there is a "Hole" here, without any evidence of this in any way. Just an assumption. While I understand the frustration, this isn't going to help your issue. We have no known security issues on the platform, and from what my colleague has seen so far, it seems the users are logging in and posting as normal, and they are standard users, who have logged in with a password.

    A few things to note on that. If they have logged in with the password, then they have the password. There is no way in which to get a users password on the software. To make this very clear. If I have access to your database directly, with your database credentials, and have full FTP access, I still could not obtain what a users password is on your system, due to the way the passwords are encypted. And they are encrypted with PHP methods useds throughout the internet (not only our software). Quite simply, nobody has gained the password of a user through your software. 
      My colleague has also shown you there where to check if a user has had their details compromised on another site. Most users will use the same passwords across multiple sites. So if a site elsewhere has been hacked where their password can be identified, they have an email/password combination that may work on the site. Therefore they would simply be able to log in with those details. I'm sure you understand, thats not something we have any control over
      You can use 2 factor authentication for all users. There is unfortunately an issue with the google one at present that we are looking into, but you can use question and answers. This would force users to at least have another action to log in, meaning if someone does know the password, they may stumble at the question/answer stage  
    We are more than happy to look at your settings to see what we can advise. But you do appear to be quite hostile toward people who are trying to help you. Both staff and other customers. I can only assume that is out of frustration. A frustration I can fully understand. But please do help us to help you. We are on your side, and do not like spam any more than you do 🙂

    Please ensure you are updated to the latest release, you are using default email templates, and that you have no 3rd party items enabled, then test this again. I am unable to replicate this on my end. I actually shows a anonymous guest posting when I test

    Creating a test site is the same as making any other site. The only difference is the key you use, as mentioned above

    You need a page. The database itself has no url, the page has. If there is no URL, nothing can be accessed or searched.

    Question and Answer forum mode does not exist in v5, it has been replaced by better solving tools and notifications such as this feature.

    I can understand the concerns very well. This is not an easy decision. I hope IPS will give a good and smooth workflow for switching.
    The reason I have changed it on my 20 years old project was seeing unsuccessful attacks on old accounts. I have seen failed logins spread around the whole world by some user accounts. Sometimes 20 a day from Europe, Asia, and Africa. Nobody can travel this way. 😁
    It has stopped after I have switched to the email-login. I assume the bots see the display names. This is a half of the valid login information. Then go and try passwords. If passwords are easy or common, they succeed.

    1. I'm giggling at the cleverness of humanity to continue to find creative new ways to be an @$$ to other members.  
    2. You may want to investigate some member group settings.  For example, you can restrict members from deleting their own personal messages. This does pose other consequences, such as accruing a lifetimes worth of personal messages.

    The Classic platform is one platform, and one price for this. So you purchase the classic platform and get all the apps on that platform. There is no way In which to purchase only downloads
    There is only one points system. For what you are describing, it would essentially be 2 points systems
    There isnt. The leaderboard is actually not based on posts either. The leaderboard is based on a users reputation, which is something given in the form of reactions to content

    Since posting I set the price to £1 and purchased a ticket myself, and it worked perfectly. And if that's how an invoice with several identical sales but with fields looks, then I think we might conclude that he maybe added two separate goods to his basket. It was gone midnight when he purchased, so attention might not have been as great as it could have been!

    Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! I can confirm this should be further reviewed and I have logged an internal bug report for our development team to investigate and address as necessary, in a future maintenance release.
