    I'm not advocating that you keep us apprised of features like:  "A friendly reminder before posting" that you announced yesterday ahead of time.  This feature is entirely opt-in.  Those sites that want to take advantage of the new feature are free to do so on their schedule.
    If an upcoming feature will require a fair amount of social engineering and configuration to use it to its fullest, more of a heads up would be helpful.  A feature that would fit this scenario well would be “Member Achievements”.
    The various languages and third-party integrations you utilize are constantly being updated to stay compliant with new standards or to markedly improve their utility.
    At various points in time, you may have to rewrite portions of the suite to extend the product's lifespan. Some things might remain unchanged, and some things might require a complete reset such as subscription renewals.  (Just using this for illustrative purposes).
    That could be “consequential” for sites with little to no cash reserves to tide them over until all the subscription renewals could be reenabled for all the effected members get around to restarting their subscription.
    I am advocating that you keep your customer base apprised of such occurrences with as much head's up time as you can.
    If for example you must fundamentally rearchitect themes, we will be forced to use your provided default theme until such time as the theme creators revamp their offerings.
    If the changes are too radical and time consuming many if not all the existing providers might exit the marketplace. 
    It could take time to recruit replacements and a variety of compliant themes get released due to a high learning curve.
    Some sites could readily adapt to the default theme, and some might not as their members are extremely attached to the look and feel of the site and various community value adds that are integrated into the theme.
    You may have a multitude of different projects on your radar. I’m in no way advocating you to keep us apprised of all of them just, the “consequential” ones we will have to address in the next rolling six to twelve months.

    Good point.  The Enterprise clients are the highest yielding margin, so it makes sense to prioritize their work for profitability.  The use cases driving features are certainly going to be different, and those conversations could be happening in private with Enterprise clients (who are unlikely to join the community here and start posting with hobby site owners).  I have seen a few pop up here and there but mostly when it's a pretty disastrous scenario for them and they want to voice it openly (having reached their tolerance threshold).

    I think the truth of the situation is that the clients on these forums aren't really the clients that Invision are developing their products for.
    I suspect it's mostly (perhaps almost solely) the priorities of and feedback from enterprise clients which is driving their development and future planning. 
    I'm sure it's part of the reason why there's a reasonable sub section of those on these forums who clearly feel undervalued right now (along with price hikes, changes to support, long lived bugs, and parts of the software suffering from a lack of attention). It's also the reason why some of the communication from Invision can come across as a bit tone deaf and rile people up at times.
    I'm not criticising particularly, as far as I'm concerned it's just the way it is. It's just a case of matching expectations to reality in my mind.

    This is surely a quite major bug, why not patch it?

    Group Promotions isn't working at all on 4.6.11 - so I'd stay on 4.6.10 until the next release.

    Just putting this out there as a core inclusion, to improve the Geolocation against member registrations and posts.
    The current Maxmind implementation is totally ineffective, and the Google integration does not override this.

    Emediate got a reaction from Cannabis Connect in Hump Day: do you use the Clubs feature?   
    This was my experience too. The members didn't get it. They couldn't understand the advantage of a club, when we could just have another or seperate sub-forum. There was a disconnect between the main forums and the clubs.
    In the end we reverted back to traditional sub-forums for more niche topics/areas of interest and disabled clubs.

    Emediate reacted to Michael R in Hump Day: do you use the Clubs feature?   
    People have been using my forums as a template for their Facebook groups. They literally used the same names and descriptions from my forums. So I decided to turn those forums into Clubs on my site. But they never used it.
    I set up members as Club admins, set up their logo and cover page, wrote their about pages, and invited members. But it went nowhere. All people want to do is post pictures of themselves and collect Likes. ugghhh

    We did something similar a few years ago. Don't expect too much to happen too quickly. It was at least 6 months before Google figured out exactly what changed, and reindexed everything accordingly.

    @Mediamage If your on a cPanel host then go to your cPanel

    In there in files is backup wizard, generate a full backup and then use FTP to download it or go back to the backup page once you get an email from cpanel that its finished (generate full backup) and click the backup link and you will be able to download it

    Maybe we spoke too soon @Matt. Donations app has since been disabled, and all the same error logs (both types) have just returned.

    Thank you Matt, sincerely. I am glad that the problem has been discovered in the core and it's obvious no third-party would have been able to discover this without your intimate knowledge of the software. 
    I have taken your advice and disabled Donations, and will monitor the logs over 24 hours to see if there is progress there. I will pass on this information to our server techs too to investigate.
    Thanks again.

    I've resolved the issue with missing language strings. It looks like the language system has become confused and not all the language packs have the custom words. I'm not sure why this is. When a new language pack is added, any custom words are copied across.

    I wrote a custom script to fix this, and have run it on your site.

    The other issue with errors where stdClass::language() is logged is less clear. What is happening is that the member object isn't set up, which never happens, so I'm quite confused. I do notice that the donate app overloads the front dispatcher, so you may want to try disabling that for a while and seeing if the error returns. I also note that it's only logging issues from URLs sent via javascript and ajax. I also note that you get 4 or 5 errors then nothing for 15-20 mins. The errors only last for a single minute, so there may be a server process running? Something to investigate from your end.
