Thak you! @Miss_B @Marc Stridgen

You can also convert it yourself should your host will not help you with that. Have a look at this article. 
https://www.techandme.se/convert-myisam-to-innodb/
Don't forget to make first a backup of the database before the conversion. 

We certainly can. I have completed off the upgrade for you. What has happened here is that its hit the upgrader screen before its completed the switch to the new files. I will report this is happening, however if you do see this and want to get past it, if you wait a few minutes and then go to /admin/upgrade it will show you it wants to upgrade. 🙂 

You are very welcome :)
I see what you mean. I have made a note of it for the next version. Thank you for your suggestions again and for your business :)

@Miss_B Many thanks for adding my suggestion to the app! I've just bought it!
One small adjustment that needs to be done. You are using the core language string privacy_type (see sreenshot below). You should use a custom language string, this way we can translate this phrase more precisely, as we want to use a different text here compared to the other uses of privacy_type.


Thank you in advance! 🙂

You'll be waiting a long time then. There are countless ways to bypass that kind of restriction as long as the user has access to the source code. Trying to stop piracy is a lost cause, you're better off forgetting about it and using that time on making more themes... 🙄

You would need to do a manual upgrade. It does need to be mentioned, we no longer support this, so if you are unsure, it may be best to get assistance. However if you want to take a look yourself, the process is
Backup fully Upload a fresh set of files Upgrade your server to PHP 8 Ensure things match the requirements checker - https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/7046-invision-community-requirements-checker/ Run the upgrader from /admin/upgrade  

I haven't used it myself, hence why I was not aware of that. Thank you for the clarification.

Also misc is not part of the core_members table by default a.f.a.i.k.

These are a part of the converters application.
conv_password misc  

Quite simply, if your hosting is not coming with the requests you would need a better host. If its coming from huge amount of requests at the same source, thats something your host should be dealing with really. You can of course block searches from guests, if they are hitting the search bar, if you wanted to do so. See module permissions here
 

Would likely want to resolve the error, not disable the System Log in this case (it’s not possible to disable it, I’m afraid). It is more likely an error or a flooding of your system log causing the impact to your server than the System Log itself.
What error is being logged?

The converter application provides redirects for the old style URLa. Uninstalling the converter app will stop these from working

The PHP scanner introduced in a slightly later version of 4.7.x (which will effectively answer the question asked due to it not existing in 4.7.1)

Thank you! I was able to catch the new group ID.

You can also create an app and add a MemberSync extension and add your stuff in onProfileUpdate method. 

You need to extent the \IPS\Member hook class. And the function that you need is called: public function save()

I fully understand and empathise with your situation there. However the reality is, there isn't a huge amount more we can give in terms of advice here, and this would be the correct advice to be giving you. While I understand its not possible at present, it would be irresponsible of me not to provide the correct advice

Although manipulating the database directly isn't something that I would recommend, unless one knows what they are doing, I think this will help you in retrieving your password.
If you have access to phpmyadmin try this. Go to the database that you have used to install your Ipb forum and then run the fowllowing sql query from the SQL tab.
UPDATE `core_members` SET members_pass_hash ='$2y$10$3KMSmbRwex9.wTYdv2/1gukbyCYAvvmob/6G23O9MaA5otd0hzs3u' WHERE member_id = x;
Replace x with your member id and if you are using a prefix for your database tables, add it to the core_members table name in the example query above.
That will reset your password to test. After you log in on the front end, you can change it to something secure.

You would need to ask your hosting company where the directory is for your site. This is not something we are able to answer, as we dont host your site.
You are correct in that you need to be on PHP 8, and that it will take your site down when you move. What you need to do is
Switch off  your site Create a full backup of your site Switch to PHP 8 (yes, your site will be unoperable at that point) Run the requirement checker to ensure things check out Upload a fresh set of files from your client area Run the upgrader from /admin/upgrade This does not take into account any 3rd party items you have, and you should ensure those are going to be compatible with the latest release before you proceed.

You have nothing to aorry about in that regard, really. Ips takes security very seriously and they have their customers best interests at heart. Hence why they check very thoroughly every single third party item submited in the Merketplace.

Thank you for the example code and the explanation @Matt. Looking forward to the new dev blocks. 

PHP 8.1 (8.2 compatible) will be the version minimum.
You won't need to re-learn everything, it's not a complete rewrite.
Some things to keep in mind:
We import namespaces so we no longer use fully qualified names. What does this mean?
Old:
namespace IPS\foo class foo { function _construct() { if ( \IPS\Member::i()->isAdmin() ) { $this->bar = \IPS\Request::i()->input; } } } New:
namespace IPS\foo use IPS\Member; use IPS\Request; class foo { function _construct() { if ( Member::i()->isAdmin() ) { $this->bar = Request::i()->input; } } } You *could* use FQN but we no longer do that. The result is a lot neater.
We have also moved most Content interfaces into traits (where it makes sense) and we've introduced a few new dev tools which we'll speak about very soon.
So it's really about cleaning up existing code and moving existing hooks, etc into the new dev tools.
You're not starting from scratch again.
I'll be working on some new dev blogs to go through all the changes in a bit more detail hopefully later this month.

Please bear in mind that while we welcome feedback, this does not necessarily mean it will always be added. While we wish we could be everything to everyone, unfortunately, that's not always going to be the case. Also when it is something we decide to add, it will be within our plans for release cycles. I understand its something you would like and would like right away, again this won't always be the case.
It is worth adding also, you are making some large assumptions there on the release cycle of version 5 🙂 We have an ambitious goal for v5s release that won’t be years into the future and maybe sooner than you expect.
