    I remember when generations didnt have a name LOL

    I agree,

    Much like old folks' homes and nursing homes of the past are now called retirement communities and villages.
    Either way they are places for our kids to dump us so they don't have to have their lives disrupted.

    I guess my generation was the last of taking care of our parents because of who they are and not what they are.

  2. Ok now this shouldn't be. There is still an issue going on with Edge where it comes to this site. It seems I have to clear my cache on a daily basis if I want to see (view) the community in Edge only so far. I haven't noticed this in Firefox as of yet either. As for Chrome for personal I don't use it and avoid Google products.

    In Invision Community, you can use either your name or email to log in by default. Invision Community does not have the concept of Username and Display name - There is just simply 'Name'. 

    However, in my community accounts are created from a game where people have Display Names (Not unique) and Usernames (Unique). 

    Ideally I'd like to use the Display name as the 'Name' that shows up above people's profiles and can be searched on, mentioned etc, but still have the user log in with their username. Something like this possible? 

    IPS removed the members option of choice for the use of members username or display name option back in the beginning of 4.0. in the customer version.
    I too liked the idea of a little anonymity between Username and display name but it was in their opinion that this feature is unnecessary.
    But then again, I sure would like their answer where it come to Invision’s way of displaying Username and display name. If you are not of what I am talking about go ahead and log into your Client’s Area.

     

  4. @Austin Martel To start out the reason you are unable to access the categories is that Yes you need to be signen in with your client credentials as at present you are logged in as a member which is not the same.

    Now here is the reason why you need to be correctly logged in . At present you won't get any help from staff because at this point there is no proof of you being a licensed member. Now if you do hold a license and it is current you need to contact staff from your client center and let them know there is an issue which then all your questions can and should be answered during normal business hours.

    I hope this helps,

    You should keep in mind that most hosts, if not all, place a size limit restriction on phpmyadmins. So, if you have a medium/large sized forum, making a backup or restoring one through phpmyadmin is adviceable as it can result in incomplete operations. 

    Which makes no difference in my wamp localhost.

    These are my phpForApache.ini edits.

    max_execution_time = 5000
    max_input_time = 5000
    memory_limit = 1024M  2048M
    
    post_max_size = 8500M
    
    upload_max_filesize = 8500M
    max_file_uploads = 50

    Also this Nag.

    Public Display of PHP Errors Enabled

    Your server is set to display PHP errors. This is not recommended for production environments as it may cause sensitive information to be publicly disclosed. You should contact your hosting provider or system administrator and ask them to set the display_errors PHP setting to Off.

     

    Not to much can get past this. 🙂

    What method are you using for backing up your database?

    I did 2 upgrades from 3.4.8 (I think was one 3.4.5 actually) this week, they worked fine except for the above mentioned issues that are fixed in 4.6.1

    Tt appears Mysql don't like me no more. Maybe I need to take a closer look at MariaDB or others but I don't see it being a fix either.

    These fixes are specifically for issues introduced in 4.6. I haven't seen any reports via tickets of 3.4 upgrade issues for quite a while.

    I have been seeing a shtic house load of database errors in the 3.4.7 to 4.6 including 4.x.x times... to 4.6.

    Sad thing the last tb failure I lost my complete db backup file along wit 980gig of other files and backups. 

    Stranger yet a fresh copy of my live database shows corrupt during a wamp mysql import..... I love being me lately...

  8. @AdlagoSorry for the delay but you could say I have had my hands full these last few weeks.

    New computer build after the last build in 2006 finally dropped dead. And there was the MOVE FROM HELL....

    Moved a little more north here in Wisconsin well it is better because now I can say I am away from Milwaukee.

    OK to get back to question... I have made every upgrade from 4.0.x to 4.4x without error just keep an eye on php versions (so far)

    Funny this topic comes up now... I have not had a chance to do anything with 5.0 until now so I will give an update later in the day.

    That is if my wife don't catch me.... LOL!

  9. I might agree for those that do not have or the need for solid directional content may accept the what ever it takes attitude to get by to make google happy. Brownie points were never my cup of tea. Good solid content that can be backed up as solid evidence should be the focus of  a forum and leave the loose noise of social media like Facebook.
