    Brian Garcia reacted to Charles in Deploying today: Enhanced cache layer   
    We are deploying updates to our backend cache layer today. This change should see decreased latency for logged in members. While a small change, multiplied over every click for every member it will make a noticeable difference.
    This change does not impact guests/bots (those not logged in) as those views are handled by the CDN.
    You may see up to 10 minutes of slowness at some point today while the change deploys.

    The ability to integrate with Events would be something I would like. I would have physical classes that would have online material to go with it.

    Brian Garcia reacted to Charles in Courses and Lessons   
    We are currently in the beginning stages of developing a Courses and Lessons application within Invision Community. This will only be available on our cloud services as a value addition.
    We receive regular requests for Learning Management System (LMS) capabilities in Invision Community and the Courses app will start us down that path. 
    The Courses app is not going to try to be a full LMS. Not trying to run a university here 🙂
    But we do think there is value in offering basic LMS capabilities within a community context. Some features we are already doing:
    Ability to create Courses with multiple Modules Modules can have multiple content items that a member can read/engage (articles, videos, discussions) Courses can be made optional or required. Required courses can be defined as "do this first" or literally required as in you must take course within X days of joining community. Badges/points awarded on various completion events. Reports for those who enroll and/or complete a Course. Reports can be exported to CSV. As this is early development we are open to ideas and suggestions.
    How might you use Courses?
    What capabilities would you want to see?

    Brian Garcia reacted to Charles in Coming Soon: Email Bounce Management   
    On our cloud platform, we handle email for you. To ensure email deliverability we have to keep our "score" high which means we are very strict about managing email sending.
    Right now, our systems monitor when an email bounces or is reported as spam. For spam reports we immediately stop sending to that email to ensure a good sending score. For bounces, it depends on the type of bounce but they will eventually be blocked as well.
    This is great for sending scores but sometimes emails get blocked when they should not. People might accidentally click mark as spam. Their email provider might be having technical problems one day causing bounces that then get resolve. The list goes on.
    Bounce Management
    We are adding the ability for you to view reports on bounced/complaint emails, take action on member accounts (purge them or mark them as no notifications), and unblock emails that our platform may be refusing to email.
    A few notes on unblocking: we have to impose some limits of course. Spam complaint blocks can only be unblocked one time. If a second spam complaint for same email address comes in then no further sending will happen (ever). Bounce emails can be unblocked five times.
    A further note on spam complaint emails: depending on the nature of the complaint, they may not be able to be unblocked. Sometimes a spam complaint comes in and is targeted to the source (your community) and other times is targeted to the platform (our entire infrastructure). If it's targeted at our systems globally, then you would not be able to unblock it. But then, who wants to keep emailing someone who marks you as spam anyway!
     
    This new feature will be available on all of our packages except Beginner.

    Brian Garcia got a reaction from SeNioR- in http: links for social sharing icons   
    Seems to be hard-coded in, I would agree that it should be https://.  At the end it doesn't matter that much as those sites have redirects in place.

    Not even sure this would be a bug, but a recommended change?

    Brian Garcia got a reaction from Carl M in IPB 3.1.0 features   
    I believe !important doesn't work with IE6. Even though a few percentage of people still use IE >_<. But, as someone posted it's really not good practice to always utilize the !important when you can just clean up the code by removing the conflicting code.

    This chat bites. After uploading the files to the directories required, there is no option to install this in the ACP. There are no settings in ACP. And nowhere to enter in the chat key. This was just a waste of time.

    Brian Garcia reacted to Rheddy in IPB Upgrades Becoming Minor Annoyance   
    IPS Staff: I hate to say this but the IPS Upgrades are becoming a real inconvenient Annoyance.

    What am I talking about? Everytime there is a service update to IPB (2.0.1, 3.0.2, etc) the upgrade creates havok with the hooks that I have installed. Not only do I have to disable the hooks, but, they have to be un-installed and then re-installed. The upgrades are not anticipating already installed hooks and adjusting for them and it's becoming an annoyance.

    Does IPS plan on fixing this problem or is this going to be a regular 'romp and stomp' action with every upgrade/update? For one, I would love to see this corrected.

    To buy a IPB blog requires you to buy a IPB board? WOW that's just a waste of money.

    Now that's a total of $200.00. WOW you guys are trying to make money off from us.

    Ok, so I purchased a license off of ize nearly 2 years ago, and all was well and good, until 2 days ago i try to login to my other account, display name, .Shawn, and find out it wont let me log in, so i try to recover my password, and it tells me there's no account in the system using that email address, so i find this a little fishy, so i contact support, and they tell me that the original owner has control of the account and that there,s no way to prove the account is mine, altho i have renewed it 2 times with my credit card, i gave them that info, gave them my email address that it used to be tied to, and pointed out the face that this guys name is scott i believe and the display name is .Shawn, i find this absolutely absurd that customer service, nor debbie will do anything for me. but really, what would they care, losing one customer wont hurt their pockets any..just my rant on the customer service here.

    There are some trolls on the board. Your first post I could understand someone giving you a negative rep because you seem impatient in it. But after that, it's just ridiculous. (Now watch, I'll get negative rep for what I just now said.)

    I gave you a few + reps to help you out some (except the first post). Someone else is giving you + points too but I don't know who.
