Yes, we can indeed mark items as the solution for other users if needed. The reason it was done in this case is that this is the answer to your question. The ones you are looking at there are set by locale, so you have to make sure you have the correct locale set in your language pack too. Also, ensure you have the correct language pack selected when you are in the admin CP (top right)

As mentioned by my colleague, it is an identical setup to live, by design. In order to use test gateways you would switch to these, in the same manner as you would switch to it using a test license key

Videos being playable are actually dependent upon the browser and OS. MOV files are an apple format, so indeed only play on apple devices natively

I can see this happening with MOV files here and opened a bug report on this. It appears it is happening with any device that cannot natively play them. Not only can you not show the video (expected) but you cannot download it (not expected)

Changing date formats would be done via your language pack, even if you are using English as mentioned. Note that "English" doesnt actually mean that format necessarily. We ship with English (US) which doesnt have that format. 
Note that if you are looking to use English UK as a date format its actually dd/mm/yyyy and not dd.mm.yyyy . Ones set from locale will format in that manner.
 
 

Just wanted to chime in and give a big shout out to @Stuart Silvester. With his help I was able to successfully do a transfer. (Give this man a raise 😄). Also thanks to @Charles. It's customer service like this that a lot of forum software companies are missing these days. Glad to be back and be part of the IPS family once again. 

 
 

Just to let you all know, there has now been a patch just released to resolve this issue. To apply the patch, please visit support in your Admin CP and select the "Optional Update" item shown

This should be fixed now.

This being the case, it sounds very much like it's a linked in issue, rather than one of your own there
Your articles look awesome btw 🙂 
 

There isnt a setting for this, however one of our customers has placed a suggestion on how to customise this if you wanted to look?
There is also an open suggestion for adding a setting for this. 
 

IPS staff are working on it, so we should only wait until they release a fix. 

Also checking simple things first such as going to support in your AdminCP and ensuring you follow any suggestions in there. Items such as tables not using INNODB can affect performance for example.

Please bear in mind it can take some time for these to go through. From the point its determined to be a bug, it needs to actually be fixed, then reviewed, then applied to a version, then actually released.  These processes mean it may not have a fix for the next release. It may be the release after, and in some complex cases longer

Thank you for letting us know. I will make our developers aware of this so that it can be looked into.

tables are created using the default storage engine, so switching that will indeed have the desired effect

If you are physically moving the tested site to another server, then take a look at the guidelines here. You can however selectively use the information you need from this to switch from dev to live
The main things to remember when doing this are the following
If you are converting the other system, do a test first. This will save you having issues on the day you do it for real, and you will know what to expect Use -TESTINSTALL at the end of your license key, to use your test key instance. That way you dont have any issues with switching to your live domain. You just move it and set your live license key Any issues at all, go to ACP->Support (top right) and see that page to see if there is anything showing up, and (as already mentioned) use clear cache Make sure if you are moving from a subfolder, you change any .htaccess files (and indeed ensure you move that, as I have seen people miss that where its hidden) When changing your conf_global.php file, back it up, then change it. That way if you make a mistake, you can repeat that process. I have seen many times someone accidentally delete or add something that breaks the site on moving items
One thing you can do to speed up the process, is if you are moving from one location to another with the physical files, make a copy of all the files in advance. Then you can just replace those which have been added or changed.
 
 

This is still showing as being worked on at present, and  your ticket on this is still active

A CDN won’t magically make your size faster, especially if you already use Cloudflare. 
For speed improvements, you rather want to improve your website. I had a look and your site loads a huge amount of resources for each page load. Lots of images, lots of local third-party code, lots of external stuff from Google and Twitch. I would rather suggest to work on that. 

You need to edit the /etc/my.cnf file with following parameter under the [mysqld] section:
default-storage_engine=innodb
Save the file and restart MySQL/MariaDB.

Thank you @Marc Stridgenthat fixed it, I had only added the GTM code, but it was an older version of the globalTemplate.

You would need to revert your globalTemplate there. At some point you have edited that template, and therefore its not updated. So your theme at present doesnt have the changes required to add that menu

I can see this happening with MOV files here and opened a bug report on this. It appears it is happening with any device that cannot natively play them. Not only can you not show the video (expected) but you cannot download it (not expected)

No.
 

It was fixed in 4.6.5.1 
Fixed an issue where copying a calendar event with a broken cover image would result in an exception.
