Nice, it should work.

"old_name" the original name (Donnie95), or should I use "Guest Donnie95"?

Sorry to hear this. Ensure you report the issue to the author of that item. Unfortunately, the only way we can advise in which you can restore an account is with the restoration of a recent backup. I realise from what you mention above, that's not the ideal option for you.

Restoring from binlog is too hard.

I remember there was a plugin that could change the topic author, but I can't recall its name or where to find it.

I believe I can use it to assign the "Guest" posts to a new account, then recalculate the reputation and post count.

The issue comes from the plugin "Proxy, VPN & Disposable Email Blocker."

My server keeps MySQL binlog files. I think these files can be used to undo certain things. I'll check what I can do.

There is no way to "undo" an account delete.  You would need to restore from a backup.  If this is important, you need to do it sooner than before so you don't keep losing data since your last backup.

Regarding changing email, I just changed my email on this site and my personal forum and don't have that behavior occurring.  Do you use some kind of 3rd party app or login system? 

My backup are too old and I will lose more data if I restore it.

I do use 3rd app, I'll try without these app.

Could I please confirm you are referring to this when you changed your mind? I ask as Im unable to replicate this in any way

I changed the email in the account settings. Then, on this page, I clicked "Change Email Address" and entered the same old email. After that, I got disconnected, and the account was deleted

I think it's a bug. I tried it with a test account, and it got deleted too.

Hopefully, there's a way to undo it. 🙏

So, I tried to change my email, but then I changed my mind. On the email confirmation page, I reverted back to my old email.

After that, my account was deleted, and now all my posts appear as "Guest Donnie95."

I don't want to restore a backup of my forum because it will remove 24 hours of content...

I hope V5 will support this. I want to remove Google related services for improved privacy.

Thanks, I missed it somehow...

@Marc Stridgen Please close/delete this topic.

Hello,

After updating my forum to 4.7.16, I've noticed that club topics are appearing in unexpected locations, such as categories with "Combined Fluid View" enabled. 

The setting "Show Club Content Areas" is set to "Only within Clubs" so that's not normal.

Thanks.

Regarding subscriptions, it there any way a user can be given a discount code?

Coupon codes can be used for subscriptions but only for the first payment, I believe.

FYI just in case you're not aware, Invision Community offers a feature Saved Actions for the Forums.  It's basically predefined 'moderator rules' and can be quite powerful. 

You can also define Alerts in advance, which I find to be useful if you're giving the same information (either positive or negative) to users.   

I'm already using saved actions. What exactly is the Alerts feature?

I don't think it's unnecessary, I'm constantly doing the same thing over and over. I think 50% of the moderation work can be automated.

Believe there is some confusion here. This topic is about being immediately logged out again, not what you're experiencing which is being logged out when your session is inactive. What you're experiencing is indeed normal as the ACP would time out with your PHP session, which default is around 20 minutes.

Is it possible to increase the timeout to 24 hours? That way, I would only need to log in once per day.

You can actually stay logged in to the admin CP? Mine times out after 20 minutes if I don't use it. I thought it was normal.

IP address verification is disabled.

I think it would be great if the automatic moderation functionality could be expanded with more options. For example, if a post doesn't get any views, replies, or reactions, the forum could automatically move it to another forum, lock it, or delete it. This would be similar to what we can already do with group promotion, but for individual posts and topics.

Thanks. I’m assuming that’s DDR4? I’ve focused too much on having high ram when I think I can do better with a higher performing CPU and lower ram. Can you PM me the cloud provider? I’d like to take a look.

Yes DDR4. Your specs are unbalanced. You should check your RAM usage and definitely get a better CPU.

Who is your hosting provider, and what is the cost of this server?

What type of hardware are you running?

Cloud server.

• 4 Core (Xeon Gold CPU)
• 8 GB RAM
• 80GB NVME SSD
• 300GB Block storage for my upload folder.
• $45 per month.

I have around 9000 unique visitors per day, with approximately 250 accounts connected at all times.

Dual Intel Xeon L5520

This CPU seems weak.

As for the control panel, I use one called CloudPanel.

https://www.cloudpanel.io/

It's completely free.

Currently, if you delete a post or a topic within a club, it is permanently deleted without the possibility to restore it in the ModCP.

It would be nice if we could restore this content, just as we can with regular forums.

The current lightbox is not mobile-friendly. I often end up opening the images instead of tapping on the next/previous button.

Swipe gesture would be much better.

Im not sure what question it is you are asking here. You appear to be saying both that you want to do something and dont want to do something

Exactly, I'm hesitant to change the setting and risk deleting important information.

I increased the InnoDB buffer pool size from 128M to 2GB (My database is 2GB) While there is an increase in RAM usage, I haven't observed any significant improvements in speed.

I'll test whether upgrading my server makes a difference. Please let me know if you have more tips for speed improvements with PHP-FPM, MySQL 8, and NGINX.

I agree with Marc on this.  Out of the box MySQL, PHP-FPM, and opcache settings, in my experience, are rarely optimal. I've gotten an order of magnitude better speed from MySQL alone with proper tuning.

What tuning did you do to MYSQL?

The best advice I can give you there is to contact your hosting company on server performance issues.

Unmanaged hosting, and the server is powerful enough, the site is not using that much resource. I believe my issue is with caching or MySQL and reputation points. The leaderboard on my site takes 20 seconds to load, while a simple page like the staff directory loads quickly. (200ms)

Redis - Are you sure you need it? Is the overhead speeding things up, or slowing it down?

I completely forgot about the overhead setting for Redis, I definitely need to try it.

Opcache, cloudflare and nginx are configured correctly. Not sure about MYSQL.

Yes, customers have used the query cache before however it was deprecated in MySQL 5.7.20 and does not exist in MySQL 8 (which we now recommend).

I doubt that would make an impact on TTFB though. It might be worth seeing if you've got any slow queries specific to your community.

I checked MYSQL slow logs, most of the slow logs are 'core_sessions' and 'core_view_updates'

::IPS\Session\Store\_Database::updateSession:381*/ INSERT INTO `core_sessions` ( `id`, `member_name`, `seo_name`, `member_id`, `ip_address`, `browser`, `running_time`, `login_type`...

But I use the default 10s long_query_time, I think I need to change it to 3s.

I won't be using the query cache as it is deprecated. I'm unsure about what I can do to reduce the TTFB on topics, 1 second is too high.

OPcache is enabled.

PHP FPM set dynamic.

I'm using Redis.

Nginx.

Cloudflare.

My server using NVME SSD and is not overloaded.
