SeNioR-

@marklcfc Well done with the cache configuration 👍Your site loads much faster now, but I noticed quite a lag with the "Who's Online" widget and the online status in the topic which is a bit pointless now as it takes 15 minutes to update.

I wonder if (with your present configuration) you could now set "Cache sidebar, header and footer blocks" to 0 because the whole page (with the all widgets) is cached by CF now.

Plus, I think you can add some new CF rules like /discover/, /search/ and sitemap.php to avoid situations like in the picture below where there is a problem with loading reactions icons in search results.

Disallow: /tags/

The tags already have the "noindex" meta tag added, so if you prohibit robots.txt from indexing the page, bots will not be able to read it. Bad practice.

By the way, when you set the attachment limit, you must enter the value in KiB not kB. In my case, after setting equal values in kB, the editor showed a completely different and underestimated value.

Example:

• 1 kB = 1000 bytes
• 1 KiB = 1024 bytes

Hi @Marc Stridgen you nailed it. I just tuned mysql and now notifications is super quick. Thank you!

Hi Chris. Could you describe what exactly you changed? Thanks.

Hi @Lindor.

Check this app:

Lots of errors caused by misconfiguration of your server and not the software itself.

@NAWAC Are you going to send this link or not?

We're going to improve the code for the CLI task system so that a warning is logged when the wrong php version is being used. 

Good idea. With every new version I see a thread with "locked task". A lot of people forget to update the cron path after changing the PHP version.

FA6 will be included by default in a future version

Then leave a gate to turn this crap off.

Confirmed.

Take care, man. Good Luck.

there seems to be numerous blank lines under his post

the user probably adds a few invisible empty paragraphs (<p>empty</p>) when writing, hence the empty space.

XenForo Developers right now:

@Randy Calvert Randy, it's great that you're so active, but you're a customer like all of us, so let the IPS Team write something, because you act like their spokesperson or someone who knows more than us, and you know as much as we all do, which is nothing.

A year has passed... It seems to me that IPS thinks too much about the backend and forgot about the frontend.

FA will be completely removed (at least I hope so).

Support for CKE4 ends in 2023. I hope you are already working on migrating to CKE5.

The FA4 framework from 2017 should also be updated or completely removed and replaced with SVG icons.

I can happily back up Matt's last post. We've heard your feedback and are aiming to significantly improve both the CSS and JS performance in a future update - but as you can imagine, rewriting 10 years of code is a very long process that needs to be planned carefully.

Thanks for the info, however in what "future update" we can expect these improvement? IPS 5.x or maybe a bit earlier?

At the moment, we can only upload a graphical icon, so I suggest adding lazy loading. This helps the page load faster especially on a mobile device and eliminates the error in PageSpeed Insights

{{elseif $forum->icon}}
<img src="{file="$forum->icon" extension="forums_Icons"}" alt='' class='ipsItemStatus ipsItemStatus_custom {{if !\IPS\forums\Topic::containerUnread( $forum ) && !$forum->redirect_on}}ipsItemStatus_read{{endif}}'>
{{else}}

to

{{elseif $forum->icon}}
<img src="{file="$forum->icon" extension="forums_Icons"}" alt='Icon' class='ipsItemStatus ipsItemStatus_custom {{if !\IPS\forums\Topic::containerUnread( $forum ) && !$forum->redirect_on}}ipsItemStatus_read{{endif}}' loading='lazy'>
{{else}}

I agree, these types of fixes should be reported directly to the IPS developers, but unfortunately there is no such way at the moment.

There are a lot of such details to improve, sometimes I don't want to write a topic because it's a small thing ... but it should be corrected.

By the way, it would also be good to fix the YouTube icon to

<i class="fa fa-youtube-play" aria-hidden="true"></i>

Before:

After:

Code:

.cShareLink_facebook {
    background: #1778F2;
}

.cShareLink_instagram {
background: radial-gradient(circle at 33% 100%, #fed373 4%, #f15245 30%, #d92e7f 62%, #9b36b7 85%, #515ecf);
}

Adding images to a sitemap helps Google discover images that we might not otherwise find (such as images your site reaches with JavaScript code).

I added a test subscription and everything is OK for me on the latest version of IPS.
