We've all been there. :D

You can change it from the Theme Editor->Page Layout.->Forum Index. There you can select the option that you want and as last step save the changes and you are all set. Hope it helps.

I've developed an app that will do that, among its other features. Should you be interested you can view it at my forum. https://www.yourforumservices.com/index.php?/topic/81-guest-management-log-visits-page-view-limit

Yes, running an automated fix when prompted is the best way under the circumstances. I don't think that you have access to phpmyadmin if you are on Cloud so you can't run those queries yourself, if I am not mistaken. If you do have access to phpmyadmin instead, then all you have to do is as advised, copy/paste the queries inside the SQL Box of the database that you have used to install your forum. If the automated fix or the running of the manual queries won't solve the issues, then you can start a ticket from your Client Area so one of the Ips staff can look into this for you.

Glad to see that the issue has been fixed.

That's a very easy/simple thing to do, but I understand your reluctance. Anyways, hopefully the issue will be solved after your tech guy runs the patch. Let us know how it will go.

Have a look at this post and try the suggestion mentioned there. If that won't help then maybe it would be better if you started a ticket about this at your Client Area so one of the Ips Staff can look into this for you.

I think that it will require a custom app as it can't be done with the out of the box features.

What cloud package do you have? If you have the Enterprise one you are entitled to Video Call Support.

You have a point there. To be honest I didn't think of that because I don't use those apps myself. I was thinking only about the forum.

This gets my vote too. Having all that content be moved automatically to one place is very useful and time saving.

Is it the same issue as you had previously which was fixed, or is it another one?

XenForo 2.3. is not listed as the version that is supported to convert to Ips. Only the lower versions are. https://invisioncommunity.com/services/convert/

It appeared to have been an issue with Ips, but it was reported as fixed as per the following topic.

If there are no database changes at all between the 5.0.6 and the 5.0.7 beta then in theory you can roll back by simply re uploading the 5.0.6 files imo. Otherwise you can't as it will cause issues. The only way to roll back would be to restore a copy of the 5.0.6 database as well.

This will require a custom app to handle all that properly. That said, a word of advice if I may, it would be best to make first a backup of the database before you delete all that data, for just in case.

Did you try to upgrade manually? If that's the case it looks like the files weren't overwritten with those from the new version. If you are already on a 5 version, it's best to do the upgrade through the Admin Panel imo, as mentioned above. If you are on a 4.x version then the manual upgrade is the required method instead.

I disagree. XenFor is no way better than Ips. XenForo is a dead project and the support that they offer over there leaves a lot to be desired imo. That said, if you can't always ask people for help then you must learn how to deal with the technical issues yourself. The thing is that you caused this issue yourself by upgrading to a beta version. Add when you run into issues, which is to be expected with betas, on any platform and not only with Ips, instead of asking for support in a correct/right way you start immediately with that going to XenForo nonsense. Good luck with it. See how you would like to be yelled at by their staff whenever you ask for support on their forum.

What error message(s) are you getting? It would help if you posted the exact error messages. Regarding the 500 errors, they are almost always host/server related. One a side note, imo it's always best to wait until a version becomes stable and then upgrade to it rather than upgrading to a beta version as betas are likely to have bugs and throw errors.

The alternative is a custom app.

Not that I know of. Assuming you are on the 4.7.x series, check out the Manual Upgrading section of the following guide:

Just out of curiosity, who is missing the point?

Yes, it is included in Ips 5, along with the Blogs, Pages etc.

What is your forum version? As a rule of thumb regarding security is best to always use the latest version of whatever software and scripts one is using, including the third party stuff.

Has anyone else reported something like that? If not then maybe the problem is local to that user's device only.
