That worked, and all my topics are now unarchived. Thank you!

Pffffeeew ... 😰 That was scary.

It looks like Pages app is not included in your hosting plan by looking at the screenshot.

My website is entirely designed around Pages, and as you can see on my screenshot I do have Pages enabled and my custom pages are still there, just not the databases, which disappeared about an hour ago or so. 

I'm on Creator Pro, haven't changed plans, and my plan is active. 

All my articles have disappeared. 

I don't know what just happened but my custom databases have disappeared. 😱

When I try to access them in my ACP I see this: 

Thank you!

If you disabled, did you click to unarchive? Otherwise it will just sit there

 Sorry I was mistaken. Actually "Disable archiving" is not selected - however archiving is set to archive "where last post More than 12 years ago". 

Seems like unarchiving stopped at around Feb 1 2018. No new topics have been unarchived since October 2023. 

Archiving is disabled in my ACP.

Oh wow! Funny I noticed it just now as well! No worries, thanks a lot for letting me know. 🙂 

I'm getting this, and all those errors have to do with embedded posts or topics... 

Ok thanks!

No. If you switch, any tags already present will stay, but no new ones can be added unless they are the ones you specify

Ok so trying to make sure I understand this. 

If I had a tag named "apples" and I switch to a closed system, I have to add "apples" to the closed system (in the ACP) to be able to add that "apples" tag to new topics? 

If I switch from an open system to a closed system, do I lose all the existing tags and all the tagged topics, or can I manually add the existing tags to the closed system in the ACP and keep all the existing topics tagged as they currently are? 

I believe you would need Zapier for that: https://zapier.com/apps/invision-community/integrations/reddit

Ok understood. Thanks.

That’s what the “closed tag system” is for. You set up all the tags you want as admin in the ACP and then users can only use those tags. 

I understand that. However I've already created hundreds of tags using the open system before coming to the realization that this may not be ideal after all. If I switch to a closed tag system, I won't be able to use all those tags any longer? 

Moreover, I much prefer to create new tags while I'm tagging a topic, rather than having to go in the ACP every time I need a new tag - although that's something I could work with. 

Ok thank you, so it's not possible to have only one group allowed to create new tags, but other groups can still use those tags (to tag their topics)? That's what I'm looking for. 

Thanks!

Thank you.

If I do that, will members still be able to tag their topics using the existing tags? 

Up until now I've worked with the "Open" tagging mode. Anyone can create and use any tag they want. Unfortunately, sometimes members create useless or silly tags. 

I would like to continue to be able to tag any topic I want with any existing tag or with new tags I create when I tag the topic, while restricting other members to use only existing tags, and not be allowed to create new tags. 

Is that possible? If I switch to a "Closed" tagging mode, it looks like I would have to create a list of tags in the ACP, which I wouldn't want to have to do since there are already so many existing tags. 

Thank you!

I saw many times this error in the last couple of months of using CiC and at the same time, ic.com is also not available apparently due to ic.com also hosted on AWS cloud.

Unfortunately I've had the same experience, which I've documented in the following topic: 

It seems like network attacks (and subsequent downtime and server errors) have become a recurring issue with Invision Community's cloud services, often unreported on their https://status.invisioncommunity.com/ page.

the design of the captcha as looks dodgy from users perspective

Yes, IMO that's a big issue. Most users seeing this are probably going to think the site has been hacked and won't proceed. 

Yes! That was it! 🙂 Thanks Daniel.

If anybody else runs into this issue => It's happening when the embed links to a deleted comment/review, so the error is "correct", but I have to admit that it's not really user-friendly, so we improved this by replacing the error with a more meaningful error message and we'll also output the link to the content item the comment/review belonged to.

Unfortunately that's not the case, the comments were not deleted and the links still work. I sent you an email with the links so that you can see that the content I had linked to was not deleted.

Please could you repost the image from above? Im not seeing it any longer for some reason

The image is just a screenshot from the message I'm getting, with the sad smiley and the statement "Sorry, this content is no longer available". That's what I'm seeing in my forum instead of the embed card for the linked topic. 

Here's what I'm seeing when I load that post. I'll PM you a link to that post.

Do you have access to the given area which you are embedding?

Yes, it's the same forum. Meaning the topic that contains the links is in the same forum as the linked topic.

there are no Javascript errors (you have quite the number of ads running and errors in the console), and that there are no third party add-ons enabled.

Same issue with the stock invision theme, no add, all 3rd party apps and plug-ins disabled. 

In one topic, I've embedded links to two other topics, and the embeds no longer show up, even though the original topics still exist and the links have not changed? 

Here's what I see instead of the embedded cards:
