Depending on the size of your board (both activity of users and posts, resources, files, etc) you can base your specification requirements upon that. If it's a relatively small board, 2 CPUs, 2 GB RAM and 2-4GB disk space. It's usually up to the webmaster's preference on how much they're willing to spend on hosting and your hosting needs.

Ask yourself, how will you be managing your VPS (virtual private server)? Will it be exclusively through a terminal using SSH? Or will you be opting to use a control panel such as Plesk, Cpanel, or Direct Admin, to name a few? What other products or services will you be installing on your VPS? How many members and active visitors (guests too) do you anticipate online, not throughout the day, but at a single point?  You generally want enough to run everything you're planing, plus room to grow, plus the unexpected.
If you plan on managing your VPS with only the terminal using SSH and you have experienced optimizing your configuration. Plus, your site is relatively new; I would suggest at a minimum 1 core with 2GB of ram. If you do not have any experience optimizing your configuration, 2 cores with 3 GB of ram  If you're using a control panel, 4 cores with 8+ GB ram.

We added Bitcoin support via Stripe. A few weeks later Stripe pulled support because the exchange was too volatile.
As it stands, we have no plans for Bitcoin.

I do think having more data about what a member does could be useful 👍 

Hey @MEVi 👋 
Forgive me, I'm not quite understanding what you're asking. 

Hello,
A member can send a photo/avatar for his/her profile. But it is not possible to have in the client tab to have a picture of the client that the administrator has updated and that cannot be modified by the member.
I would like the member to be able to send a photo or avatar at his or her convenience as at present and that in the client menu of the CP-Admin it is possible to put the photo to the client, since we usually have the name and surname of the person.
 

Not yet, but we've been working on it for a little while now so I imagine not too too far off 😉 

Just buy Radical tags.  
I'm almost certain IPS privately comissioned the app because they know the functionality is needed, but it's been a third party function forever.  

I hear ya. I documented your suggestion and will continue to keep an eye on things to see whether your idea gains more momentum 🙂

More simply, for each login method:
Enabled [ x ] Yes [   ] No Allow new registrations [   ] Yes [ x ] No Allow login [ x ] Yes [   ] No

Hello,
There should be more flexibility in the registration settings, with local depending on the service (Apple, Google, Microsoft) or global as currently.
In this context I would like to be able to deactivate the "standard" registration without deactivating "standard" the login, and allow only by Apple, Google, Microsoft registration and login.

I find that this feature should be native since TAGs are provided as standard.

I like the idea, on principle, of having the ability to turn off registration for a given handler, yet continue to allow login via that handler.

Me trying to understand if I should panic or not

I would recommend blocking unwanted traffic at the server level. By the time the request makes it to PHP, a lot of unnecessary overhead has already occurred if your intention is to block the traffic. You can already ban by IP address if you wish, and most legitimate spiders will advertise the IP address ranges used by their bots if you wish to do that, but again...this is better served at the server/firewall level.

There is currently no decent way of creating categories and subcategories for clubs like there is for forums, downloads etc. This would be a very good QoL improvement over simply dumping all of them into a giant list with filter buttons. Please let us assign categories via extra fields or other methods. This should also come with a choice about whether to show all clubs, or separate them into categories on the root clubs page.

WebP is amazing for lossless image compression (or rather, maybe you could say PNG is just really bad), but for lossy compression it's a bit iffy. It can sometimes beat out jpeg while preserving the same quality level but it's a hit or miss in my experience.

It is recommended to output webp files in a <picture> tag instead of an <img> tag, which supports specifying multiple versions. That's something we'd have to take into account.
Also, ios14 added support apparently: https://css-tricks.com/webp-image-support-coming-to-ios-14/
I found that we have an open internal suggestion discussing this already so I've updated it. Thanks!

Regarding WEBM and MP4:
https://web.dev/replace-gifs-with-videos/
It's so much better than gif, would be amazing to have support for these.

1.) Display webp as image instead of attachment (handle them just like all other image types)
2.) Allow webp as image upload option in all areas (Profile Picture, Cover Photo, Forum Icon, Grid Card Image, Pages when posting content and anywhere else that i've missed)


 
Repeat the steps for .WEBM (would be lovely since video compression is in most cases superior to animated images such as GIF and WEBP)
Would be really great to be able to be able to upload video format types in all the mentioned areas (Profile Pictures, Cover Photo, but especialy Pages)
 
3.) Add an option to swap all png images (profile content and/or uploads and forum core pictures) to webp instead with a conversion job that processes all images. (That's the bigger work i guess, but would be amazing to have.)
This would ultimately reduce the data usage by tremendous bounds, save bandwith and improve performance.
 

Hello @Claudia999,
Your module offers an interesting feature for the club owner but I don't want to send a message.
Hello @Jordan Invision, Yes, I want to send a newsletter by email to all the members of a Club.

Hello,
I wanted to send a newsletter to the members of a club, but this feature does not exist. So I had to create a special group, then one by one, add each member of a defined club, which is time consuming.
I would like to be able to send a newsletter from the admin panel to the members of a Club.

@theipsguy
I asked for something similar not long ago to make that the images are not directly downloadable without being connected
