As it stands now, when you go to react to a post, and you hover over the heart in the lower right to get all the reactions to pop out, they all pop out in a straight line, regardless of how many of them there are. Which sucks. It means if you want to upload a full emoji set for reactions you're limited in the number you can upload by the fact that the reaction select panel doesn't wrap. So really, at most you can get like 10 before it starts looking awful. 

With some custom css I was able to get the behavior I wanted (still trying to get it to work on mobile view) but this type of wrapping really should be the default.

That would be nice. I mean, as it stands, it works but I can't tell you how many times I mouse over that icon to choose a reaction and then have to do it again because my mouse moved just above the line as I went to the left (or right). Its worse on the more mini versions like in Status Updates because the area is about half of what it is on a post.
I think it will also make things better for end users to be able to access ones that are further away faster. On mobile it would reduce on the need to scroll as well as thumb reach.
In a way I feel penalized because I want to give my members the ability to express themselves.
 

The email settings either work or they don’t. If verification emails are only sometimes not coming through, then they are likely treated as spam by the receiving email provider. 
You can look into improving your deliverability by looking into things like SPF/DKIM/DMARC… records and there are lots of “mail server test” tools which help you with this. You send a mail to them and they tell you what looks problematic and could use improvements. 

I figured I'd circle back to this @Jordan Invision and show you just my personal reactions given/received on my site:

The one thing I want to point out is that the "I read this" is the most used" but not because its used anymore but what I changed the likes Pre multi-reactions. That reaction is there to primarily keep people from defaulting to the "like" reaction and actually persuade them to use the other reactions. Yes, some are lesser used, as you can see there, but in general they are regularly used reactions and all have a purpose on my site.

Here's the thing, sometimes custom css is paired with custom buttons, and when that's the case those custom buttons no longer work when you're editing page tops and forum rules etc in the admin cp. To remedy this, adding a 4th option to Admin CP theme Auto, Light, Dark and Custom would be nice. That way you can use your custom css in the rules / page tops.

The Automatic Moderation menu in the Admin CP currently only allows you to hide reported content.

It would be nice if this section had other options like this:
If you could imagine "Hide Content" was one tab, and there where other tabs you
could select like "Move Content" or "Merge Content" or "Saved Action".

The Move Content tab would have options like:
Move topics to X sub-forum if they meet the following criteria:
They're posted in Y sub-forum
They have not gotten a reply in Z amount of time
They have B tag(s)
The title contains "example text"
They're older than C weeks / months / years

The Merge Content tab would have options like:
Merge topics into X topic it they meet the following criteria:
They're posted in Y sub-forum
They have not gotten a reply in Z amount of time
They have B tag(s)
The title contains "example text"
They're older than C weeks / months / years

The Saved Action tab would have options like:
Perform Saved Action X if post meets example criteria (above).

I think it would be nice to see the automatic Group Promotions expanded on a little bit.
Namely the options to promote people for the following:

1) Starting a chosen number of posts within a chosen forum(s)
2) Commenting a chosen number of times within a chosen forum(s)
3) Providing answers to a chosen number of questions within a chosen forum(s)
4) Having a chosen amount of answers selected as "best answer" within a chosen forum(s)

Thanks for considering!

There's so much to unpack here, but I love where your head is at. I put your feedback into our system and will have some eyes take a look. I'd imagine this would be a huge undertaking, but I do think it'd elevate Invision in a pretty profound way. @liquidfractal

Perhaps this is a pipe dream, but as sub-economies have proven to be a very effective way of hijacking goal-oriented psychology I would love to see a native points system in IPB.
In such an application one could develop different "banks" for different types of points systems depending on the nature of your website.  Examples:
"credits" (for purchasing services, Store products, exchanging for cash donations to relevant charities) tokens (for gambling, buying bling for their online personae) hours (if you're like me, you sell hours of tuition and/or consultation) How might these points be accumulated/awarded?  Examples:
buying blocks of tokens/credits/hours in the Store buying Store products: buy product X and get Y amount of credits in points system Z having the highest-rated answers in a Q/A Support forum having the highest reputation in a given forum Awarding points to people who invite new members to your community completing courses or other certifications Other ideas:
Targeted emails to certain groups, or certain individuals when credits/tokens/hours are at X or 0 - time to get more!) Targeted emails to people indicating they've been awarded free tokens/credits/etc. Promotions where points are awarded under special circumstances from dates X to Y Toss tokens into a (virtual) fight pit and watch your community fight for them.  Cue the oldschool Star Trek fight music.  Dance, puppets, daaaaance! mwuahahaha) Hijacking goal-oriented psych--err, offering points could be a great way to spur development and participation in one's community.  They could also obviously be integrated into other apps (or other apps could make use of points) as part of competitions, e.g., submitting the highest-rated photos, articles, blog posts, etc.  The possibilities go on and on!
As some know there have been a couple of third-party devs who have made Points systems, but I have come to think that if one is going to embed something like this into a community (let alone a business) I wouldn't want to trust it to anyone but the core developers for updates and stability.
I obviously can't speak for others, but I for one would be happy to pay for this as an additional (optional) IPS module, similar to the way IP.Downloads is offered.

I like this idea! So in addition to the HH:MM you're thinking also a calendar to select which day(s)?

'EX0' is an uncaught exception, essentially it's anything that is unexpected. On registration, it's typically caused by a third party plugin/application.

Oh, that makes sense. I see now why it wasn't working. Thank you.

Merging threads will retain a time-based post order from oldest to newest. The thread you merge into will be the URL retained, however the post order will respect the timestamp of each post.
Whichever post is the oldest of all merged threads will be the first post in the resulting thread by design, no matter how you merge them. I believe there is a plugin in Marketplace that will let you change the timestamp of a post. That may be what you're looking for.
 

I definitely recommend disabling downvoting unless you have a very focused and trusting community.

 

Submit a ticket. This will require that IPS have an actual look at what happened to fix it.

Some thoughts:
When you remove or delete a profile, it doesn't adjust the reputation counts of content items.  You would need to rebuild reputation.   As a general best practice for all communities, once you hit a certain size, you may want to totally remove downvote.  Or at the very least, to adjust the downvote reputation to be neutral (+0), so it doesn't actually reduce anyone's reputation.  Leaving downvote reputation is asking for users to show the ugly side of humanity.   

A better approach may be to use basic authentication to access the development site in addition to (or instead of) the IP address restrictions you have in place.
See: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_authz_core.html
You might search for htpasswd + apache for quick how tos.

Guests "browsing" is not likely if your site is offline. If an IP hits the site it will log it as "browsing". If I knew where your dev build was I could load the front page and be marked as a guest and as browsing even though all I'm seeing is an access denied or login page.
This is just IPS saying that it see's someone actively touched your site within the last X minutes.

It probably is cloudflare but I wouldn't know for sure. It could also be just one of those "days" with widgetbot.io. They tend to have some issues sometimes.
Did you verify that you can see the code and its not altered in the source code?

I was going to ask exactly this feature Today. I am willing to be able to setup a side menu with custom widgets for each subforum. Each sidebar for each category/forum topic.

A feature in the admin cp somewhere that lists all active widget blocks giving each a drop-down forums selector to check off which sub-forums the block would be visible on, would be very convenient.  It would allow for completely custom block and page layouts per sub-forum, increasing the software's layout versatility substantially with a relatively small addition.
