You might consider checking out the following topic:
 

The renewal text is shown, as you havent selected "Same as chosen renewal option" for the initial term, which in this case it is. Thats the difference between what you have there and what you have on others. The renewal price is the same, so there isnt any differing price to show there. 

Nope..it was a custom app interfering with a user group. Problem detected. All good. Thanks

This has been on my mind for some time now...it would be great to have a bit more more granular control over the subject lines IPB automatically sends out for things like comments, replies, etc.
For example: when a client replies to a project discussion thread, I simply get the title of the forum thread X in my notification email.  It would be a bit clearer if it read "Reply to discussion X" or "Comment on X" or something like that.  I think it would be good to change this, but even better to allow site owners to configure these things wherever possible.

You actually have it set up like that. So they could pay for another renewal again, and even do it again after that if they wanted. It would just continue to extend it
 

It's a custom application, not available in the marketplace.

Option to force language in hCaptcha.
 

I love that I can create Forum Rules in multiple languages. This allows me to have forums where anyone can write in English or Spanish and instead of having to duplicate information on a pinned topic I can display useful information on the Forum Rules.
I wish there was a way I could post on article on multiple languages. This would be fantastic for building a database where people could just switch the language and read the same article on a different language. As of now, I think the best alternative is to do something like adding a link saying "This is also available on x language" and then duplicate the article.

In acp support it shows a warning when IPS files have been changed. It would be nice to have an option to send an auto email alert when such things occur. Or if the forum has other health issues.
 

That would be correct, yes.

A ticket has been created for this, and someone will be in touch once we have been able to review whats happening

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! I can confirm this should be further reviewed and I have logged an internal bug report for our development team to investigate and address as necessary, in a future maintenance release.
 

The user has clicked to renew in order to generate the invoice. It hasnt been generated automatically there. The reason they have not been moved back into a previous group is because its not actually expired yet, as you mention yourself there. You can see this in your image, its still active. It will indeed expire on its expiry date, regardless of whether someone has generated a renewal invoice or not. If they pay that renewal, it will extend from the expiry date as expected.

This cannot be cancelled as there is an associated paypal subscription, as mentioned in the admin CP. The user would need to cancel their paypal subscription or indeed you cancel it from the link provided

 

@Jordan Miller You raise some interesting and valid points in your posts, but you always refer your attention to 'business' and forget that there are thousands of hobbyist clients who tend to get left out.  It may not be your intention to do so, but whenever you post something it always includes the word 'business'.  This may seem like nitpicking and IPS may be more focussed on business clients, but there are others who contribute to the IPS coffers.  It may be prudent to be more inclusive so those who created the foundation for IPS are not left feeling out.
To the point of your post.  As a hobbyist and someone who enjoys the experience of a forum based site (at present I get more of a kick from the creation aspect rather that the using thereafter) the drag of SM is the sore point when it comes to generating interest and contributors.  It's not that what we hobbyists do that may appear uninteresting, it's getting people off the SM wagon into a new environment.  There are probably numerous contributing factors that may lie at the root cause for this lack of interest, but that is the big issue for hobbyists.  Finding a niche that has not been covered already and has sufficient interest from a large number of people to get the ball rolling is really tough, and it doesn't matter what software is employed in a new venture; WordPress, IPS, Xenforo, Simple Machines, MyBB the list goes on.
Using SM to generate interest is a non-starter.  I use Twitter to promote my site and my Tweets drive traffic because what I post is apparently of interest, but it's a one way ticket because the people consume the content and then return to Twitter to comment on it rather than register and comment directly at the source.
I doubt that I'm alone in this parody of high interest on SM but low interest in registering at the source of the interest.  It's a symptom of the way people engage in this day-and-age.  It seems as though it's an effort to go through the short process of registering.  The other factor could also be that they are not interested in spending time learning how to use a system that may appear to be cumbersome to use on their mobile devices.
Sign of the times perhaps.

My pain points are largely in creating/editing articles.  I use Pages largely as a news and reviews page and the forums piggyback off of that.   I have no trouble finding content to create, for my niche it is a veritable firehose to stand in front of, but getting it created in Pages with the right format is tedious.
I'd love:
a better method for placing pictures, setting alt text, setting captions. More options for what a gallery looks like when I place a link to one. See @opentype's SuperReviews as one example of what I'd like to do, but with the Gallery system. Multi-column formatting Some sort of widget or block system where I can place an Ad widget inline with the text. Compatibility with Grammerly - Seriously, it's a pain to write it in Word so the article gets checked with Grammerly and then cut-paste-format into Pages. A lot of my slow-down with generating content.  There is so much of it everyday that I have to pick and choose, but getting it posted is painful.
I'd argue that the forum in IPS software is largely feature complete and any improvements would be just slightly incremental.  Pages, Gallery, Clubs, is where attention is sorely needed.
I said here many years ago that IPS has the potential to be the paid Wordpress beater if Pages was improved. I still see that potential.

IPS 4.7 is not officially released yet and it is in beta. my resources, including Mobile Navigation will receive compatibility update afterward.

Just update my test forum from beta 8 to beta 9 and found these errors in the System Logs.  These columns never existed in the core_statistics table of my database, should they have?

Hi team, I think that will be usefull to add another property when we copy and paste content in any post or reply. We need can to add text as plane text but with links. Wee need delete all styles but keeping the links in content.
The rich text add a lot of useless code that we dont need. If we paste as plane text and we need to create every link again can be a hard work with many links.
Can you take a look to add this propertie in future updates?
Thanks a lot!

Add official NGINX support to the list 😂😅

I don't know about you, but I'm wondering if it's perhaps overdue that IPS got stuck into a huge performance and speed based review and implement it in the next medium sized update! I think a lot has changed in recent years in relation to site performance. Core Vitals in Lighthouse as many admins will be aware are now much more important in terms of SEO ranking, performance isn't just for the obsessed enthusiasts any longer!
Google Search Console tells me that on one of my IPS Communities, my Mobile Pagespeed test result sucks, just 28%-30% at present, so I started checking a few things under the hood. I like to keep my sites high performing, so I was quite surprised it was so low. 
One thing I found out in minutes looking at the optimisation list and then checking my IPS configuration is that if you have the IPS Lazy Loading feature enabled, it doesn't apply to your uploaded images in Advertisements or Post Author Member Group Icons. Both are shown in my topic view so I get scored down on mobile in particular.
I think it's now time that Native Lazy Loading was offered, either as a choice or as the default if enabled.
Also where possible IPS should support Local WebP conversion via the Task Manager.
I know some of us sometimes bash IPS for not delivering more obvious updates like Gallery, Blog, Pages and Commerce improvements for the sake of instead quick things like disabling features but IPS4 is quite a huge behemoth these days, no matter your pricey VPS, CiC, use of Redis pools etc.
More performance improvements I'd like to see considered include...
(Now admittedly I'm basing this list on a similar big audit that another website framework I invested in conducted and implemented last year. These are the options you can now simply toggle off/on as a result in their Dashboard. They can make a huge difference to bloat.)
Dynamic Modular Framework
Enable this to allow the IPS Framework to only load code that are actually used on the page, and process the logic for the features in actual use.
Dynamic CSS
Dynamic CSS could greatly reduce CSS file size by dynamically generating only the styles and assets necessary for the features and modules you actually use. This eliminates most if not all CSS file bloat and greatly improves load times.
Dynamic Icons
Font Awesome is 2 generations behind. The FA4 icon font could be broken up into various subsets. These subsets are loaded only when needed based on the modules and features used on each page. If you need access to the entire icon font on all pages (for example, if you are using lots of FA icons in a custom theme or want to allow members to insert them via the post editor), then you could disable this option and load the entire icon font library on all pages.
Load Dynamic Stylesheet In-line
This option dequeues the IPS style.css file and prints the needed contents in-line. This removes a render blocking request and improves the PageSpeed scores of individual pages. However, it also prevents the style.css file from being cached. Since the stylesheet is often smaller when dynamic or critical, it could be recommended to keep this option enabled. Accepted there are some potential CSP-related security concerns with inline CSS an or JS.
Critical CSS
Critical CSS greatly improves website load times and Google PageSpeed scores by deferring non-critical styles and eliminating render-blocking CSS requests. Critical CSS often covers what most users see when first loading the page, so called 'above the fold' content.
Critical Threshold Height
When Critical CSS is enabled, IPS would determine an "above the fold threshold" and defer all styles for elements below the fold. However, this threshold is just a estimate and can vary on different devices. Increasing threshold height will deffer fewer styles, resulting in slightly slower load times but less of a chance for Cumulative Layout Shifts to occur. If you are experiencing CLS issues you can then increase or lower the threshold 'height' via a drop-down low, medium, high setting.
Dynamic JavaScript Libraries
When enabled, IPS would only load external JavaScript libraries when they are needed by a specific sections or modules on the page. This removes unused JavaScript from the main scripts bundle and improves load times.
Improve Google Fonts Loading
Enable caching of Google Fonts and load them inline. This reduces render-blocking requests and improves page load times. Also presents an opportunity to switch to the Google Fonts API, to offer a dynamic dropdown list to allow admin to choose from all available GFonts. The Task Manager could check for and cache new versions of selected fonts in use weekly.
Limit Google Fonts Support For Legacy Browsers
Enabling this option will lower the size of Google Fonts and improve load times, however it will limit Google Fonts support in some very old browsers. You can turn this off to increase support for losers insisting on their older insecure browsers at a slight cost to performance.
Defer jQuery And jQuery Migrate
When possible, jQuery and jQuery Migrate could be moved to the body to speed up load times. If a third party plugin registers jQuery as a dependency, it would be moved back to the head.
Enqueue jQuery Compatibility Script
Some third party scripts may be incorrectly enqueued without declaring jQuery as dependency. If jQuery is deferred, these scripts could break. If you are experiencing console errors after enabling the "Defer jQuery And jQuery Migrate" option, you can enable this option, which will load an additional compatibility script that will attempt to solve the issue. (You can turn this feature off if everything is working fine without it).
Defer Additional Third Party Scripts
Warning: This can cause JavaScript errors in some cases and should be used with care. When enabled, scripts registered by plugins and themes will be deferred to improve performance and jQuery will always be loaded in the body.

is it possible to override the general permissions of a user group for certain permissions only on a member?
If we want to give some specific permission to a single member, we have to create a group just for him.
It would be easier for each member to also be configurable on all permissions which will take priority when activated over general group permissions.

I second this. It's been requested many times,together with PDF invoices, etc, but Commerce hasn't had any additions for some time.

I have a forum where there are several groups with read and write access. In this forum I want to see the option to create a TOPIC where only a group of those who have access to the forum can write in it. It's possible..?? Do you know if there is any application that can solve it?
Thank you for your contributions.
