Are you talking about email with your domain name itself… you need to have your DNS MX and possibly SPF and DKIM records created. If IPS is hosting your DNS, they will always need to help set those records for you.

If you’re talking about email only not based on your domain (iCloud, outlook, etc) you would just setup the SMTP settings in your ACP.
Or if you pick a totally different domain (say your site is myforum.com), you could create myforum-mail.com and since you control that DNS use that.

There would be no way in which to do this unfortunately. Not without allowing other access such as posting etc

I wouldn't jump ship just yet, Invision has a lot of cool things they are working on. XenForo is like an old Prius, it was cool when it first came out, but now it lost the appeal but still serves a purpose. You need to think long term for your community. Invision has remained the most consistent community platform provider out there.

Im not sure why you’re asking if you should leave. Do you really expect someone here to say you should?
Regarding support via the forums… as a customer, I’ve found replies faster… I’ve found that other non-staff have been able to answer my questions with even more info than sometimes can be provided by staff AND I’ve found a ton of data from searching to help myself self-service.

What I actually find most amusing is that you are complaining about not having email support but that case IS in an email now. You’re apparently not getting IPS emails. So I’m not sure how this being in an email would have helped as it’s already there.

Regarding Xenforo… As already pointed out, the grass is not always greener on the other side. In addition to support issues there, I also see a TON of people there complaining about the lack of updates. It’s slowly turning into vaporware.

Only you can decide what is right for you and your community but personally I don’t find Xenforo to be any sort of “upgrade”.

Xenforo is just as bad when it comes to support. Been there done that. They're slow here yes but you end up getting help at least.

I guess that explains after coming back for almost a year I haven't seen anything new on here. That's a shame. It's always good to see new plugins being available.

Yes, they are the XML files that are used during upgrade and original install, to add those. So if you wanted to use them in the future, importing through the ACP is the correct way to go

Greek76 reacted to Randy Calvert in Rank images not showing after new install March 28, 2023

The file you need to import is \applications\core\data\achievements\ranks.xml
You would import it into:
ACP > Members > Achievements > Ranks
Click on the "Import" button and find that XML I noted above in your local copy.

Is this self-hosted or hosted with Invision?
If you re-upload and save the image for that rank, does it still appear broken?

Greek76 reacted to Marc Stridgen in Rank images not showing after new install March 27, 2023

Im not actually seeing those missing icons on your site at present. As mentioned, I would reupload them first of all as it looks like they are simply missing from your server

Be cool to have someone take over this project 🙂
I use game thread starter and it no longer works ;( I need this to be WORKING It's perfect for my needs

Greek76 reacted to Makoto in Rank images not showing after new install March 26, 2023

Are you referring to this image?

Are you using a custom theme on your fresh install, and if so does the issue persists on the default IPS template?

Greek76 reacted to Edjazoli in Auto Welcome Support March 23, 2023

Uninstall, then clean the cache and check again, if using Cloudflare worth to clean the cache there as well

Question when I uninstall the plugin it makes my forum all distorted. When I install it back everything goes back to normal. Im using the default style and its on a forum that has no other plugins. Any ideas?

Don't think it was approved but I could text you the link to the youtube video if you want.
