Sorry for the inconvenience; we have deployed a change on our end to hopefully alleviate this concern. 

@Andy135 Thanks for your help diagnosing this.
For those of you having this problem, please be sure you are on the latest version of Invision Community. Older versions are on the old PHP7 array which is no longer receiving updates because PHP7 itself is end of life. This is starting to cause some odd performance and reliability problems that our monitoring is having trouble detecting.

Still down for us I'm afraid.

Same. We have several chat boards instances on the cloud service, and all of them are throwing 504 errors:
 

Working fine for me.  No issues.  

You are limiting your Activity Stream to the last 24 hours. Briefing looking at the forums (we have access to), there has not been content in the last 24 hours so it would be correctly hiding.

We have noticed on our IP Forum that the members IP when registering no longer resolves to any location, just gives "The IP address resolves to " (IP address) instead of (for example) New York as it used to do?
Version 4.6.5.1
 
Is it internal to our forums, or external to an Invision server that converts the ip to a location or has the ablity being removed? Also, how to fix the issue please?

It's your community, and you know it best, yet I'd suggest this is a slippery slope and offers a false sense of security. How do you know that another trusted long term member won't get into a situation with another member, necessitating you to intervene between those two? Or, that this person's ISP will randomly allocate them a new address? Or that this person has a new address every few weeks through no action of their own? Perhaps the IP space they are connected from blocks a large segment of others interested in your community. I would argue that IP blocks are antiquated and should not be used via IPS software, yet in CIC, it may be your only tool available. This type of blocking should be happening at the firewall.
Making spaces for more closed-knit interaction and giving members tools that empower them to be responsible for their online safety are far better directions to head. Consider using forums that are only available to long-term members, or clubs that members can decide who gets in and who does not. Give members the ability to change their display names. Link to resources that help users understand their role in being safe online.

You might also consider having the member who is reporting this issue to you create a new account using a new pseudonym and retire the one that is the target of this individual. Also, consider enabling the 4.6 anonymity feature.

As the title suggests, would love for the cacheExpiration value (defaulted to 24 hours) on the forum statistics widget to be configurable by an administrator in a future release, just like it was prior to 4.6.0.
The current 24 hour default setting rather renders the Forum Statistics widget a bit pointless if it's not percieved to update in "real time". I can just imagine the PM's from my users... "Why don't my posts count towards the site total?"

Thank you @Dexter_X and @Genestoy. Both of these adjustments worked great on our forum. No longer having Reputation count on the author pane was frustrating for some of our users, but now they have it back. Appreciated.

Make it possible to turn off the rank icon on photos and display the text from the new rank system instead so it can show under the username on desktop/tablet as it used to.
Also make it possible to allow user to edit their rank title once they’ve reached the top rank, or by allowing us to set which rank is editable.

I did the same as you and I'm also seeing the same issue. Changed the Forum Stats block from short to long format and now it doesn't refresh when the cache refreshes (ours is set to refresh every 4 minutes). I can get it to refresh if I edit and re-save the block, or if I delete and re-install the block using the Block Manager.
Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this? Please don't say revert back to short format post and topic counts 😬

Hi, 
The reputation system is still "alive", it is just not displayed anymore in the author's pane (left side of a post). We've restored it back by modifying the template in the theme. It is a little "tricky" because there is three places where you need to do it in your theme forums/front/topics/postContainer template file : 
. to restore reputation badges/levels, around original line 110, add the following code after the </li> :
{{if $comment->author()->reputationImage()}} <li data-role='reputation-image' class='ipsPadding:half'> <img src='{file="$comment->author()->reputationImage()" extension="core_Theme"}' title='{{if $comment->author()->reputation()}}{$comment->author()->reputation()}{{endif}}' alt=''> </li> {{endif}} so you'll obtain something that looks like this, considering surrounding code :
</ul> </li> {{if $comment->author()->reputationImage()}} <li data-role='reputation-image' class='ipsPadding:half'> <img src='{file="$comment->author()->reputationImage()" extension="core_Theme"}' title='{{if $comment->author()->reputation()}}{$comment->author()->reputation()}{{endif}}' alt=''> </li> {{endif}} {{endif}} {{if $comment->author()->member_id}} so, it is important to place the new code after both </ul> and </li> ending the counters line.
 
. To restore the reputation counter, add the following code around original line 96, just after the <ul class="ipsList_reset ipsType_light ipsFlex ipsFlex-ai:center ipsFlex-jc:center ipsGap_row:2 cAuthorPane_stats"> :
<li data-role='reputation-badge'> {template="reputationBadge" group="global" app="core" params="$comment->author()"} </li> so you'll obtain something that looks like (considering surrounding code) :
<ul class="ipsList_reset ipsType_light ipsFlex ipsFlex-ai:center ipsFlex-jc:center ipsGap_row:2 cAuthorPane_stats"> <li data-role='reputation-badge'> {template="reputationBadge" group="global" app="core" params="$comment->author()"} </li> {{if isset( $comment->author_solved_count )}} <li>  
Edit for mobile display (add back reputation counter on mobile devices display) :
. To restore the reputation counter in mobiles display, add the following code around original line 57, inside the <h3> just after the {template="userLink" group="global" app="core" params="$comment->author(), $comment->warningRef(), TRUE, $comment->isAnonymous()"} and before the </h3>
&nbsp; <span class="ipsType_medium">{template="reputationBadge" group="global" app="core" params="$comment->author()"}</span> so you'll obtain something that looks like (considering surrounding code) : 
<h3 class='ipsType_sectionHead cAuthorPane_author ipsType_break ipsType_blendLinks ipsFlex ipsFlex-ai:center'> {template="userLink" group="global" app="core" params="$comment->author(), $comment->warningRef(), TRUE, $comment->isAnonymous()"} &nbsp; <span class="ipsType_medium">{template="reputationBadge" group="global" app="core" params="$comment->author()"}</span> </h3>  
Save your template file, reload your topic : job done !

Just tested and works fine in this location
{{if $comment->author()->member_id}} <li data-role='stats' class='ipsMargin_top'> <li data-role='reputation-badge'> {template="reputationBadge" group="global" app="core" params="$comment->author()"} </li> <ul class="ipsList_reset ipsType_light ipsFlex ipsFlex-ai:center ipsFlex-jc:center ipsGap_row:2 cAuthorPane_stats"> <li>  
 

Thanks from me also. Worked perfectly.

in the theme editor edit your template forums/front/topics/postContainer
then look for the string {number="$comment->author()->member_posts"
once found, around line 98, replace the format="short" by format="long"
You'll obtain something like this :
<a href="{url="app=core&module=members&controller=profile&id={$comment->author()->member_id}&do=content" seoTemplate="profile_content" seoTitle="$comment->author()->members_seo_name"}" title="{lang="member_post_count" pluralize="$comment->author()->member_posts"}" data-ipsTooltip class="ipsType_blendLinks"> <i class="fa fa-comment"></i> {number="$comment->author()->member_posts" format="long"} </a> Save the file, reload your topic : job done !
