(NB41) Topic Cover
Thank you for the fix on the posts. We've run into another issue. Guests who try to register to our site receive an error after they submit their registration form. After long testing and troubleshooting, we've discovered that it only happens when this app is enabled. This is the full log from ACP: This is a very critical bug and we have to keep it disabled until this is resolved. The registrations will still go through, however, this bug allows them to bypass email verification and lets them have full access of the website upon leaving the error page. We made several accounts to test this: We used a mixture of real and fake emails. Notice how none of the accounts are awaiting email validation even though they should be. (The cancelled registrations were tests done while the app was disabled.) The test accounts are using fake emails and cannot validate via email, and the two accounts using real email addresses never received an email asking them to validate their account. None of these accounts should have access to the website and should get the "Please confirm your email" page when they log into the site, but I'm able to browse/use the site like a validated user when I log into them. When this app is disabled, registrations go through without the error and they are forced to validate via email as intended. Let me know if you need anymore information!

I'm sure he'll get to it soon. This is one of the last apps on my site that needs an upgrade for 4.5. ☺️

commerce theme - Different theme for store?
There are some 3rd party apps that make changes to commerce, but attractiveness is subjective, so I can't say for certain if they're up your alley or not. I'd say if you're comfortable with html/css, you can modify the templates and css to try and get something that suits your fancy. Here's a few I quickly grabbed, but if you take a look at the commerce section of the marketplace, I'm sure you can find more.

Integrate PayPal Payouts API with Commerce
Invision currently uses PayPal's MassPay for withdrawals which charges 2% up to a cap that differs depending on country the withdrawal is being sent to. PayPal has a more modern process called Payouts API that lets you send payments to both PayPal and Venmo at a much lesser cost using flat fees. List of fees between Payouts and MassPay It's about 2/3 the way down the page. I don't know enough about this to understand if this can be added to commerce as a 3rd party application. I have suggested that it be a core feature in commerce since MassPay is extremely outdated and costs way too much for anyone trying to make a profit using Downloads or any marketplace system without charging members outrageous fees. A lot of popular platforms have competitive rates at 5% with little to no transaction fees for PayPal based payouts, but we can't charge that low, or even double that, without net loss.

Redis caching not improving performance - it's worse
There's a toggle switch that causes sessions and thread views to be stored in Redis instead of MySQL on that page. That's the only option. For us, turning on that option significantly slowed down the site. Same issue except our site just wasn’t usable. No matter where you went you got stuck in an infinite loading screen until it timed out. Redis memory was maxed out and couldn’t figure out why until we saw that enabled. Disabled it and waited for cache to flush itself out and fixed the issue.

Topic Summary Note
That is my point, how about this Content Message move to Topic Summary? No. Topic summary is a waste of resources and we don’t use it, same with a lot of other communities. Wouldn’t make sense to combine completely different features.

Classifieds System
Alright, thank you for the response! I'd like to request the add-ons feature for a possible future update as it's a very important tool used by other marketplaces that can potentially generate extra revenue for the seller.

Application Forms - Supporttopic
@Noah F Make sure you don't have any pending renewals that you need to pay. It won't let you install updates otherwise. I just updated the app to 3.3.1 and our 4 applications have disappeared from the front-end but are still present within the ACP. Never mind, I see there's a new toggle setting on the applications to choose to show them on the index page!

It's fine. I don't want you to go through all of the extra trouble of having this made just for me (so far). I'm fine with remaking them, I just wanted to avoid the announcement about 2-3 year old rewards being reset. We'll just keep iAwards until we set up and finish adding all the new awards with your app and then pull a little switcharoo. 😋

MS IE warning
I was just about to come here and say this. Why would people use extremely outdated software that is no longer supported even by its creator and then complain about other systems not supporting it? I understand the workplace perspective, but I'm assuming if the site you're trying to view can't be viewed properly on IE, then it's probably not something you're expected to be looking at while working. 😋 Once Edge rebuilt itself on chromium, I never heard another thing about IE. To be frank, I didn't even know IE still existed or was available for download... 🤨

Classifieds System
@InvisionHQ Two questions. Is there a way for someone to create an advert and leave it up indefinitely/forever, generating multiple sales on the same advert without ever expiring or being marked sold? Is there a way for people to include optional add-ons customers can select when buying an advert if the seller wants to offer premium services for an additional charge? Thank you!

Trophies and Medals - Supporttopic
Hey Fosters, I know you're currently busy trying to resolve the above issues, but I had a quick inquiry. We are currently using iAwards, but due to the developer of Automation Rules leaving the community, iAwards now has zero automation making it useless for our site now as you can only grant awards manually. Our community is way too big for that. I see yours has built-in automation for most of the awards we give, so we're thinking of switching over. Is there any way that awards earned from iAwards can be somehow transferred over with your system so that original dates and award lists aren't effected? If not, that's okay it's really not the end of the world, but it would make things much easier switching over.

Since when is all nudity classed as porn? 😆 Even with a safe search filter, there will be nudity.

Assign Group Upon Registration Approval
If you have Commerce, you can set up the subscriptions manager with two options, one for patients and one for providers, and make them choose one when they're registering. Set these to free and after registration and account approval, they'll be moved into the group you have set for the subscription. It's a very hacky way to do what you wish, and you also have to buy a whole other application for this one feature, but I've seen similar suggestions for group management at registration for 3+ years and it's more than likely not going to exist anytime soon, if ever. An alternative that you can do after registration is set up a profile completion step that they need to complete after registration. You can create a custom profile field that asks them to choose a role, patient or provider (or whatever roles you need), and attach this to a profile completion step. It's explained more in the wizard. Then set up a group promotion to move them into the appropriate primary or secondary user group based on the role they chose. You'd have to set up a group promotion for each role you have.

[Delete] Mobile App Feedback
This can be deleted. We can't wait around for white label service on an app that doesn't even work for a website that doesn't focus on forums, so we've gone ahead and commissioned someone to create us a custom mobile app.

Foreground color in text inputs on default dark theme?
Same here. Can't see cursor/insertion point in dark theme so it makes it hard to tell where you're at in the editor or a field when you're typing/changing a block of text.

Ban members from downvoting
I understand your perspective, but I disagree with part of it. I don't look at downvoting as an "attack", and that comparison is sorta the mentality that can make it become toxic. Like numerous other users in the past have said when this topic gets brought up, there's no point in advertising having a reputation system if your reputation can only be positive in my opinion. It's like video games that pretend to give you freedom of choice, but in the end you're always locked into playing the role of the do-gooder hero. Our website utilizes both positive and negative reactions, and in doing so it has helped trim out toxic and malicious users, or forces them to change their ways, without the community feeling like big brother(staff) is always watching or trying to get involved when technically no rule violation has occurred. A reputation system like Reddit's would be the dream. 😋

Quick question about tickets for staff
I have a few different issues that I need resolved and was wondering if I should put all of them in one ticket or is it better if I create a new ticket for each separate issue?

Updating your theme to 4.5 if...
Your theme designer is one of the most popular ones here. He's already stated on his website that when a stable version of 4.5 is released, he will begin rebuilding his themes. Not upgrading, rebuilding. This is going to take much longer, and I'm almost certain he's being harassed with emails asking the same things you are and can't respond to most of them personally. I know for myself, I ignore all correspondence when people ask me things I've already stated publicly. This is what Brian has stated already about his themes for 4.5

User lost followers after upgrading to 4.5
A lot of our content/members lost followers too, but they were guest accounts that stayed behind after the member account that was actually following was deleted, something the system should have automatically removed, but never did. 4.5 finally fixed this issue which has existed since 4.2. This could be an explanation for you, however, if it only effected one member, then it's probably just a coincidence that the followers were considered inactive and removed automatically by the system, as jair101 pointed out.

Ban members from downvoting
Reddit works on a karma system and allows users to upvote and downvote all content, which gives or subtracts karma and allows users to have good or bad reputations. Users with bad reputations are then given posting restrictions and are susceptible to having their content automatically removed. Reddit is a perfect example of what he's asking for, actually.

4.5.2 - ACP Marketplace
They had a dedicated blog post about it, I think I even commented on it, but it seems it has been removed without notice. 🙂

(NB41) Topic Cover
Hey newbie, I just updated this today after getting the notification via ACP. v1.0.2 Unfortunately, with this app enabled, users are unable to make topics. Members receive the following error after submission: The topic shows in the topic list, but clicking on it throws the same error as above to anyone who tries to view it, including staff. This is the error I get in the logs: Topic creation works fine without issues when the Topic Cover app is disabled.

Subscription Manager Questions/Suggestions
Yeah the subscription system is broken on our site after upgrading to 4.5. It shows that all people with expired and cancelled subscriptions as "active" and will not let them buy or renew the same one or any of the others. Lots of member complaints. I'm to the point that I want to switch back to using a commerce product with renewals because this has never worked properly for us. The only way to "fix" this is to delete every recorded instance of them ever owning a subscription in all customer tabs (active, expired, cancelled) and then starting over again which we do **not** want to do because it deletes important purchase history.
