Unfortunately, once the delete process is initiated, the only way to recover would be from a full backup. As the system will process the deletion immediately. Even if it's available via existing attachments, the system will remove it in the processed background task.

I don't think an image proxy will make its way back into the software and reasons why it was originally developed do not pertain to the topic here. Just due to concerns around the functionality. However, you're more than welcome to provide any suggestion in our Feedback forum.

Shall I share the specifics, together with ACP access if it is going to help?

Please do. We'll take a look to ensure that their settings are correct and are following the topic. You can share this information in the Access Details notes if you do not wish to post here publicly. Instructions below:

Ok, I just found it strange that after so many updates, most files dates have not changed. I use other PHP apps, and all the last modified dates change after I update them.

Depends how they update them. If they provide all files of the software application and those "dates" on the file are updated by their file generator then it will show updated when you upload that to your server. 

Our automatic updater only downloads files which have changed thus your file system won't see that the files weren't touched or modified.

Would recommend checking out ACP -> Support to see if you have any database qualified issues there. If you're not running InnoDB, that is recommended. Additionally, upgrading to MySQL 8, if possible, will provide a little performance benefit.

Finally, the issues there seem to be related to searching. MySQL search can take a little time. If your users are performing a lot of searches and expect fast results, ElasticSearch may be something you wish to evaluate.

Is this only in dev mode which you are receiving this error? I see some Whoops namespaces in there so want to confirm

Are these email notifications? If so, have you confirmed that emails are going out without issue in ACP -> System -> Email Settings? Additionally, are the users online when the new content is posted? If so, no notification will be dispatched.

Could you please provide an example of a member who is having issues with this and what they are expecting to receive notifications for?

Thanks, I moved this to a ticket so we can see what is happening here. Please check your email for further correspondence. 

This was the quickest ticket ever 😄 . This is actually due to some internal changes on Cloud. This should be fixed soon. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Screenshot looks OK

Is this yours or you got from a user?

meanwhile, do you know any other way to grab statics from community?

The only statistics would be in the ACP Dashboard blocks, Statistics module, and the front-end blocks (if you want to display them).

Are there any 3rd party options you would recommend?  

I'm afraid, we do not have any which we recommend.

Is there a way to delete multiple records at once / truncate?   

Moderation tools on the frontend.

Glad to hear you were able to resolve it.

Unfortunately, I am not able to reproduce this either. I know iOS has lately added privacy controls on allowing an app from copy/pasting. This has led some apps to not clearing display the "Paste" option in text areas and I have to click a blank space for the permission approval dialog box to pop up. If we can get iOS version and a screenshot of what they're seeing, that may help finalize if this is something we can fix or it's beyond our control.

Thank You @Jim M for this, it really is appreciated. 🙏 I should be able to run Recovery Mode first though and get the datastore files checked out separately with Ionos if that's correct?

The issue is derived from the datastore writing at the moment so I would do that first. Once that is resolved, you can try recovery mode if there is still an issue.

Looks like you have the software files in both the root directory of your domain and a folder called "forum". The folder called "forum" is actually where you are operating the software. Once I uploaded the constants.php there, recovery mode works. 

With that said, it looks like there is an issue with writing datastore files to your server which is creating issues. Please ensure that your server has proper permissions and space. Please check with your hosting provider if you are unsure how to do this.

What action transpired prior to encountering this? Have you deleted or done something to the database? Unfortunately, MySQL management is outside our scope of support so if something has happened to your MySQL server which has truncated a table or caused data inconsistencies would be outside our scope of support. Our only recommendation would be to restore the database from a backup when it was correct.

Dates match.   We are generating report from the beginning (2010) to now.  

 

Unfortunately, that is not something which I can reproduce on my own test community that has spanned a similar period. You may wish to upgrade to the latest release and test again.

I'm sorry, I mean the CSV export from Statistics/FORUMS/Topics and Posts.   

You would want to ensure that your dates there for the range match what the overview is pulling. If not, these would be two different stats.

No worries. I certainly hope the surgery goes well!

We certainly appreciate that this change was a departure from what has been done previously and that even though we've been doing this for almost 2 years now, some are not frequent support users. However, it is important to remember that even though things change, you aren't losing anything. We do ask for you to give it some time.

We have had some extremely strong voices against it but everyone who has used it, enjoys it more. We think it is important to have a support community rather than direct tickets when after-all, we sell community software and have long been saying for years forums are great for support. This has been our "eat your own dog food" moment 🙂 .

Please note that you should have an email in your inbox asking about further details so we can assist you. Please reply to the email once you have added those. Thanks.

I'm not quite sure I understand how or what you mean by "Excel Export". Could you please clarify?

So changing from Cron (current setting) to Automatic should improve forum performance?

Sorry for the confusion. You will want to be on cron. That statement was stating if you are not on cron already to switch but if you're on cron, you will want to just let it process and ensure your server is properly configured. If you have given PHP memory and processing beyond what your server can handle, it may cause an overload on your server as the software things it can handle x when it can't.

Thank you. I have added this internally for review.

Is this all coming from a Safari browser and copying a URL? If so, this may be a Safari issue. Have they tried copying/pasting the same URL elsewhere?

Forum is running very slow, is it possible to give the process lower priority?

Rebuilding the search index is a slightly intensive process but the background system should be prioritized in a way which offloads this and doesn't bring down your server. If you are not running these via cron, you may see a little bit of a performance issue. You may wish to check this in ACP -> System -> Advanced Configuration.
