I am not able to replicate this issue on the latest beta. Please let us know if you still have this issue after 4.7.2, please let us know and we would need to investigate further on your instance

Any template that is manually edited by yourself will not have been amended in any way by the upgrade procedure. Therefore the templates mentioned, you should check. Take a look at this, which gives you a better idea of how to check these by comparison
 

If you are getting that message then its related to a ban somewhere. This may be the spam service, which you could look at the logs for, or that you have set an email ban (it sounds very much like it may be the latter). So please check those first of all. If you still cannot see where it is, please update your access details and I can then take a look for you

Taking a look at the topic there, we should have possibly created a ticket for you on this, or asked you to message the detail to us directly. I can certainly mention this to our other support staff too so that we are aware. Of course, as mentioned by Randy above, if you do have things that are sensitive you need to discuss you can always ask for a ticket to be created if needed. Note this should only be done if it is indeed sensitive information.

This seems to have been a temporary issue which is no longer showing. Please let us know if you see this again.

There re indeed. There are mysql stop words which would not be searchable with mysql fulltext. You can see more about this here. (of course this is mysql 8 so you may have to look up for your version)
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/fulltext-stopwords.html
Using INNODB will ensure you have the shortest list of those

The problem that you have is that your site is using PHP 8. However you are on quite an old version of our platform. (4.5.4.2). PHP 8 was not supported until 4.6

Your site is actually in a forum folder, which may be what is causing the issues. Please click on check again, and it should work after changes I just made. If it doesnt, please disable 2 factor authentication so I can take a look for you

Have you checked to ensure they have permission on the modules for guests? The error would indicate an issue with module permissions

Custom blocks are available only with the pages application, which is why you are unable to find this block.

There isnt really a correct answer to your question here. It depends on your own purposes and indeed your theme. It shows them 40 x 40 on the default theme, so them being over that size would really be a waste. 

Anything from the way that 3.x worked would not be relevant today, so unless you have a specific reason for wanting those articles, I would probably delete them, yes.

There would be no way in which to switch these off unfortunately, no

While in your messenger, if you click on the cog icon, there is "Empty", which I believe is what you are looking for

you have a non-registerable name set as the following, that will match on that name:
*ass*

Please feel free to let me (or any member of staff) know, and we can review from there.
No need for the apology. Frustration happens 🙂 Glad you found the cause there

I have created a ticket on this for you, so we can look closer at this

As mentioned, there are quite a few to go through at present, so they can take a while to be approved

I will move this to our community support forums, as this is not something we would assist with as part of support.

If some users are getting these and some are not, you really need to contact your hosting company on this. Also, I would suggest checking to make sure these users have checked their spam folders
 

This would be the issue

A patch has been released to resolve this issue. Please visit support in your admin CP where you will see "optional patch" available.

The only way you would be able to disable search completely would be to disable content discovery. However that would disable many search areas, including streams. You would do this by removing module permissions
 
You can disable search entirely by disabling the search module. Please see the guide below on how to do this
