This is not a new community, we've been using IPB self hosted since 2003. I'm considering upgrading to Version 5 but have this warning: Some of your database tables are not using InnoDB. Please contact your host to discuss how to convert your tables to InnoDB. InnoDB tables are recommended for v4 and required for v5. What does that actually mean?

Version 4 is the newest for self hosted I take it then?

We want to upgrade PHP on our server from 8.1 to 8.4 but when we do we get this error for our forum. When will this be updated to handle the new PHP version 8.4?

Okay, I've not heard anything yet so will be patient and wait, thanks for escalating!

We are getting more system errors in our logs again specifically: OutOfRangeException: (0)

Saying that I've never heard back, did you now get my email?

It was a language string I had 3 of them to change

Awesome thanks and yes I responded to email and updated my stuff as you asked.

Got it thanks!

I've got a massive amount of system log errors which I would assume are slowing down my site. How do I deal with them? Is there a way to delete these logs? I don't think its that serious as all the errors are the same surrounding guest or something. Or do I need to fix whatever is triggering this log entry and how do I do that when I'm not a coder.

I'm curious how I can make a forum description show on my boards so people know what the forum is about. I have attached what I mean for the Get Clients Forum but for some reason the description doesn't show anywhere:

Thanks so much everyone I finally got it all figured out and everyone's help was appreciated. I'm slowly learning. 😉

I honestly don't know what these translation strings even do. Can you explain what each one does? What happens if I leave those strings blank? If I leave them blank could I just change it in the Site Name setting in ACP -> System -> General Configuration? I'd rather do that but didn't want to remove those strings and leave them blank. I suppose I could always add them again too if it doesn't work.

Okay I figured it out, my question is do I need to do it this way though? Can I instead remove these and then change the site name in "ACP > Settings (gears icon) > SETTINGS > General Configuration > Site Name cause I will never remember how I fixed it this way LOL

I've tried: 1. clicking the text 2. hovering over and holding my mouse above the text 3. hovering, holding and click the mouse over the text. None of this works.
