    ahc got a reaction from PrettyPixels in Account Credit Suggestions   
    If any third party developers can create a plugin/app that does these, I'd be your first customer!  I still think it should be included in the Commerce app by default, but I don't expect this to be done anytime soon if considered.  We're working on releasing a user-to-user marketplace and the current state of Account Credit is a little too basic and we need more fund security for buyers and sellers.

    Here are a few suggestions for the Account Credit feature in Commerce.
    Limit how many withdrawals someone can make per day/week/month. Set a "pending" period for withdrawing recent commissions.  (ex: If you set a pending period for 3 days, any money/account credit a member has received in the previous 72 hours from withdrawal date cannot be withdrawn.) Only show the currency the member has selected.  Having a long list of 0.00 currencies that a member doesn't use and will probably never receive creates unnecessary clutter.

    I'm glad I read this because I was just about to buy.  The infinite scrolling is something our site has needed for a long time, however, we run an art site and our images can vary from tiny 40x40 pixel artwork to large 3000px+ wallpapers.  If you ever update it to work nicely with all image sizes, I'd be interested.

    ahc got a reaction from ASTRAPI in Community Guide on Setting Up Wasabi and CloudFlare   
    I wanted to provide some feedback for anyone interested in Wasabi since we've been using it for two billing cycles now.
    In the beginning I was afraid of the switch because hearing something is not directly supported by Invision with a built-in feature specifically for it is a bit scary.  Before my community switched to self-hosting with this software in 2017, all of my experience was using hosting websites that did most of the work for you, and I was like a fish out of water learning everything about web development on the fly. 
    I'm not going to lie and say this was easy as pie to set up for me because I did experience some issues that were not applicable at the time the guide was written, however, it is not hard either and I was able to solve things with quick troubleshooting in Wasabi documentation.  I have a large community, so it took about 3-4 days for the switch to be fully complete working overtime, and we did have some content loss.  I'm still not sure what went wrong, but the attachment folders did not transfer over correctly and a good majority of them were shot into the void somewhere.  It took us about a month to get most important things updated with new attachments, but we still occasionally find ourselves coming across a page or article that has some broken ones.  This is not an issue with Wasabi, this is an issue with either Invision or human error during the transfer.
    Regardless, I would do it all over again anyway, because this not only works the same as if you had S3 with Amazon, the amount of money we have saved is so drastic that it's hard to believe Wasabi is capable of providing this service at such a low cost.  The pricing is as advertised at 5.99 per TB of storage.  There are no hidden or surprise fees at the end of the month and so far our bills have never been over $18.  (We store everything except theme based resources on Wasabi.)  The cost breakdown in your control panel is very easy to understand what you're being charged for and what is free.  The same storage for us on Amazon cost roughly $5-7 a day, sometimes more depending on how many requests came in.  The requests are really what dig a hole in your pocket.  We are an art based website, so we were being charged out the hoo-hah for everything no matter where we tried looking for storage, and keeping it on our main server was completely out of the question.
    We did experience service failure once a few days ago where requests to pull images from Wasabi were being met with time-out and write permission errors, but I also am aware that Wasabi is growing quite fast right now due to word of mouth and they are trying their best to increase their resources to keep up with the growth.  I'm not worried about having to potentially switch again anytime in the foreseeable future.
    We are an established community with a steady income, so I can only imagine how helpful this would be to small communities ran by hobbiest leaders out-of-pocket if you get to a point where you outgrow your server resources.  I imagine that 5.99/m price is what a lot of people will only end up paying for a while.

    Oh I'm not suggesting that my examples should be blockers, but in providing them I'm trying to help the debate flow in a more productive direction - such as possible solutions to the examples I posted or confirming that completely different use cases could be applied.
    I for one would like a block feature, but my use case is one of privacy.  I don't care if content can be seen, but I would like the ability for users to block messages from, and disable access to view their profile for, specific individuals in a single button-click.

    I think the ignore feature needs a few more features to be useful.  Right now it really serves no purpose other than to make members angry/upset when they try to use it and find out it doesn't really serve a purpose.  Most sites give you the ability to actually block someone, preventing them from seeing your content or your account.  My members have been begging me for improvements to this feature or to implement a true blocking system, but it's odd to me that previous people who have requested this are never responded to, or are basically told just use the ignore feature as is and act like an adult about it.
    The internet if filled with millions of people of all ages, and just because someone is an adult doesn't mean they'll act like one.  I don't think it's unreasonable to provide a little more in terms of someone feeling more secure about their privacy.
    User A ignores User B, so all applicable content by User B is now hidden to User A, and User B is unable to send private messages to User A.  However, User B doesn't know they are being ignored by User A and has no restrictions given to them.  The ignore system works basically as if User A is the one being blocked from User B's content which seems backwards.  User B should be aware they are blocked and have the consequence of User A basically not existing to them in any capacity.
    My members are requesting these common blocking features:
    A blocked/ignored user cannot see the content of the blocker. A blocked/ignored user cannot view the account profile of the blocker. A blocked/ignored user cannot tag/mention the blocker in any content. If there is a plugin or app that already implements these improvements, please direct me to it.  If not, I can assure anyone who creates one will receive immediate downloads/sales.

    Instead of debating whether the 'ignore' function works properly, just provide feedback on what you want to be able to do. You do not need to give it a name, you simply need to state your use case(s).
    There may be problems with creating a true "block" feature for community software like IPS. If you check blocking capabilities on sites where it already exists (I'm specifically thinking about social media) it serves as more of a privacy tool. It prevents others from being able to see your profile content, send you messages or view your posts. That's fine in a system where your content is entirely your own and the only impact is one less viewer of your content, but in community software like IPS this could create problems:
    There will be apparent gaps in conversations to users that have been blocked, for example: Blocked Person 1: Does anybody know how to install this program? Person 2: Yes, you install it by double clicking on it. Person 1: But then I get a warning about it being suspicious. Person 2: That's OK, you just need to add it as an exception. Person 1: Thanks Unblocked Person 1: Does anybody know how to install this program? Person 2: Yes, you install it by double clicking on it. Person 1: But then I get a warning about it being suspicious. Person 2: That's OK, you just need to add it as an exception. Person 3: No, don't do that! It's actually infected and a new version needs to be uploaded! Delete it and run a virus scan. Person 1: Thank There will be useful topics that might not be seen: Blocked How to install this program. How to open the program. How to uninstall the program. Unblocked Warning: current version infected - uninstall it and run a virus scan. How to install this program. How to open the program. How to uninstall the program. These are of course just examples I can think of, but I imagine there'd be gaps all over the place.

    You can see the ignored member. Ignored member can see you. You can see their profile. They can see yours. You have your activity streams bumped dozens of time if the ignores member posts dozens of time.  So the only advantage is to “hide” the content in the topic but still shows in search and activity streams?
    It can be better. Believe.

    Can I request some block style that serve for show public notices? Without title.
