It's per group setting. Go there, open Content tab and find Moderation section:

Whenever I flag a spammer certain actions are carried out to ban the account and IP and also soft delete their posts, but one thing that I think should be taken into consideration is freeing up display name choices of spammers. In many cases the names are now thought out well to try and bypass the antispam checks, meaning it is forever lost to genuine members registering later.
Simply: On flag as spammer, also randomize the member name to guest[number] similar to what the GDPR task does.
I currently am using 4.6.5.1.

Agreed. Anyway, I think this should be an admin’s decision. He can control new accounts with email validation, check IP address, restrict messenger for the initial group, restrict number of reactions per day, etc.

As user I prefer IGDB

Alternatives would be

1. I applaud you for starting an IPS 5.0 feedback topic before me.  Props to you.  
2. Customizable homepage - no.  I want to control the display and presentation (and I will admit, the ad placement because I'm a greedy admin farming my user's data.  Take that GDPR!).  
-- 2a. I'm okay with personalizing the content on the page. For eaxmple, pushing content from followers or prioritizing popular content for more interesting and relevant content.  But not the overall layout.  
-- 2b.  If this were Blogs or Profiles that are tied to the user, I could understand.  Those are "individual spaces"in the where it makes sense to give more design control.  But again, not the homepage which is a community homepage.  
4.4. See how I skipped to this number.  IPS is taking it's sweet time.  

That's because you've tried before and the upgrade routine can't delete files. This file was removed from the package. Access via FTP and delete the file applications/links/setup/upg_500032\Upgrade.php and then try again with latest version from Marketplace.
@RObiN-HoOD, same for you.

Impressive knowledge of your product and Invision!
It worked.
Thanks!

I will update the file in a few minutes:

I will provide a hook to @JTHastings so he will be able to use the app the way he wants.
EDIT: File updated; version kept.

I give a week or so to relase a new version, unless something urgent appears.

Do you have any plans to integrate Font Awesome 5.0 with the suite?

It seems that in the end it was an issue on my part. Everything seems to work now. @Adriano Faria was more than helpful with support. Thanks.

New version coming in a couple of weeks or so. Among a few things, 3 new features:
1 - Admin CP Adverts Management: a place where you will have more control over adverts

2 - Advert History: similar to topic history, will display all actions performed in the advert (excluding moderation actions, which already is a feature), such as:
Who made an offer Who clicked in the BUY BUTTON etc 3 - Member Store: will display all active adverts from that member. It will be a place where others can find easily everything about the user, like active adverts (those can be dealt), expired adverts, feedback (yet to come), quick stats from their adverts, etc.
 

Not sure if anyone asked before, but have you considered integrating it with Rules App? Possible uses:
- automatic tagging/prefixing based on number of replies - similar to the HOT feature, but much more flexible
- automatic tagging/prefixing based on members taking part in the conversation. Lets say "elite topic" for topics where X participants are from Elite group.
- automatic tagging/prefixing based on number of people currently reading a topic. 
Etc. My examples might sound stupid, but I am just try to communicate the idea. Integration with Rules could be very powerful. 

What's the upgrade procedure from 3.4.x to 4.1.x?
Currently I am still on 3.4.x, doing testings for 4.1.x.

+1 for SparkPost app.

Hey Ryan, 
Any plans to offer a discount for upgrade customers? 

This is a great app, but may I make a suggestion that would make it even more killer?
Have the app move users who bounce and meet certain criteria (0 approved posts / Not logged in/active in X days) to another group for easy pruning.
My suggestion come from this: My user database is close to 12 years old.  I just sent out a holiday card to my entire user base.  Aside from spreading tidings of comfort and joy, I had ulterior motives.... it would be a great indicator of defunct users. 

I have just published 1.0.9 to fix the issue adding new markers.

1.0.8 has just been uploaded to the MarketPlace, the only fix in this is for 3.4.3 compatibility, Template 'mapTemplate' is the only change.

p.s. a New version is still in development that removes deprecated Google Maps V2 API use.

Well, I've seen quite a few requests for help in this forum now and I thought I'd gather a number of tools you can use to report your status. This will help others help you faster. :D That and additional ability to help yourself as well.

Helpful information
The following are information that's often crucial to diagnosing problems.
What is the environment you are running your website from? IPB Hosting / Shared hosting / VPS / Cloud / Dedicated Server? If VPS/Cloud/Dedi, what are your cpu, ram and disk availability?

Tools
The following are tools you can run in order to gather further data. These can be run from ssh and is only accessible for vps, cloud and dedicated servers for linux distributions.

top - Top processes (very useful for any scenario) | top is usually available in all linux OS distros by default.

top (this will constantly output your server's general status as well as top processes, default in CPU usage order) top n -1 (same as above, but will output your first stat instead of constant loop) If you'd like more colourful version. There is also htop (usually not available by default. Can get here: http://htop.sourceforge.net/ or rpmforge ) iostat - Input/Output Statistics (very useful in diagnosing disk usage) | iostat is part of sysstat package.

iostat (this will output general stats regarding IO) iostat -x 10 5 (this will output extra information for 5 times total with 10 second intervals. First stat is always "since boot" and after is since last report) sar - System Activity Reporter (Displays system performance over time) | sar is part of sysstat package

sar mpstat - Multiprocessor Usage (Displays system stats in relative to CPU) | mpstat is part of sysstat package

mpstat Apache Status (Outputs the apache status) | apachectl status, as name suggests requres apache to get the stats. You will also need to have a shell browser to run.

apachectl status (This outputs the simplified current status) apachectl fullstatus (This outputs the detailed current status. Please be warned that this will list all users and their requests. So, you will want to remove any IP address and further private information) Connections

netstat -an | grep :80 | wc -l (This lets us know how many people are connected to your server on port 80 [http]) Uptime (How long you've been up)

uptime vmstat - virtual memory statistics (This is actually not related to virtualization. This is about your swap)

vmstat free (Shows your memory statistics)

free free -m (In megabytes) free -g (In gigabytes) beancounters (Shows your limits) | Only for those with VPS/Cloud systems

cat /proc/user_beancounters ifstat (Gives live information about network usage on each network interface)

ifstat iftop (Similar to ifstat, but per user and top behavior)

iftop mysqltuner (Gives information and suggestions about your current mysql configuration) | Available at below address Available at: http://mysqltuner.pl/ You can run the mysqltuner with perl (chmod to 755 and run or call with perl) and type in your administrative mysql user id/pass. mysqlmymon Available at: http://mysqlmymon.com/ Similar to mysqltuner, but lot more information about everything else too! This is mostly meant to serve as an all-in-one tool. MySQL Workbench http://www.mysql.com...ucts/workbench/ This is a GUI tool that helps you administer, diagnose and plan. (Complete) Monitoring Solutions Nagios (Everything - heavy learning curve) http://www.nagios.org/ Cacti (Network) http://www.cacti.net/ vnstat (Much more simple network usage logger) http://humdi.net/vnstat/ Useful to Know Settings MySQL settings | Only if you have mysql The settings are often found at: /etc/my.cnf Outputting your current information will help others identify problems. Apache/HTTPD settings | Only if you have apache The settings are often found at: /etc/httpd/conf.d/httpd.conf If you have WHM/cPanel, please look inside WHM instead. Outputting your current information will help others identify problems. Nginx Settings | Only if you have nginx The settings are often found at: /etc/nginx/nginx.conf Outputting your current information will help others identify problems. PHP Information (information regarding your current php build) | Available only to PHP users... for obvious reasons. To get full php information, there are 2 easy ways. One, make a php file with the below contents and save.

<?php phpinfo(); ?> Or via shell

File Submitted: 08 Nov 2009
File Updated: 28 Jan 2010
File Category: Modifications



By default, IP.Board shows the topics/posts from all forums when the user clicks in View New Content link. With this MOD, you give the user the option to select which forums he wants to see in VIEW NEW CONTENT search and TODAY'S ACTIVE CONTENT search. It's very nice to be used on forums with many categories/forums. For example: a user that uses ASP may not want to see the posts from PHP forum or maybe user didn't want to see topics from RSS forum, etc.

Affected Files:


admin\applications\forums\extensions\usercpForms.php admin\applications\forums\extensions\searchPlugin.php
Change log:

1.0.2 => 1.1.0: Adjusts to run on IP.Board 3.0.5 and quick list of forums blocked 1.01 => 1.0.2: Driver Error when click on others tabs from TODAY'S ACTIVE CONTENT, ror those who didn't select any forum. 1.0.0 => 1.0.1: Driver Error when click on others tabs from TODAY'S ACTIVE CONTENT.

We are investigating the possibility of offering a chat service for IPB directly from IPS.

This chat service would run inside of your IPB install much like Gallery or Blog however the actual exchange of chat messages would be handled by IPS servers. The high volume of transactions needed for a chat room would probably get you banned from most web hosting providers and, even if you have high-end hosting, it requires a specially tuned server to perform well. You can forget that headache and let us handle the transactions. Chat room statistics and access to log archives will of course be available for owners.

Testing

For the time being, we will only have the chat room open here on our company forums when an IPS staff member opens it. We are looking to test both the interface you use for chatting and the back-end server performance so we need online staff to monitor both sides of the exchange. So keep an eye for the chat link to appear in the top navigation or a "who's chatting" area to show up on the home page under statistics. When you see this then you know the room is available for testing :)

Please post bugs in the bug tracker under the IP.Chat category. You can post feedback here in the feedback forum or just reply to this topic. Please keep in mind this would be a version 1.0.0 so, although we can add all sorts of cool stuff over time, we are focusing on a nice, stable chat room right now. Things like private conversations, multiple rooms, and more are on our list but we must perfect the base chat room before adding on all the extras.

Please note that this is the first test of many users in the chat room so there will probably be issues. We will also be doing server-level testing so you might get kicked out now and again or the service may abruptly close so don't take it personally ;). Your feedback on all areas of the chat from features through usability down to speed of chat responses is appreciated.

Pricing

The pricing of the chat service is yet to be announced and will be based on how many people you have in your chat room at one time. Details of the package levels and pricing will be made available at a later date. The good news is that the first chat package level will be free for active IPB license holders. We hope you enjoy that extra benefit to being a license holder.

A unsubscribe link would be great, also for the newsletter system!

I want it back, as it was in ver. 2.x
Going through user control panel to do it is a major pain.
