  1. Hi, I have set the: \define( 'NOTIFICATION_BACKGROUND_THRESHOLD', 0 ); ...and I whitelisted my forum server subnet on the mailserver on the postscreen and whitelisted it for spam checking. Stil having issues that on some threads posting a reply, or sending a Private message to specific members takes ~5 seconds. Further investigation turned out that this ONLY happens when the member subscribed to the specific thread, or the member receiving this Personal Message, has a non existing/working email address in their profile. I found out as I was getting "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender" messages right after sending this member a PM. I then send a email message from my webmaster address (the same address as used on the forums) from my Apple mail client to this member and I almost instantly received the "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender" message via email. It seems to me that there is not much I can do about a member not having a working email address. Some members joined 20 years ago, but still regularly visit or post on the forums. As we have 36.000+ members there is no way I can personally force every member to have a working email address in their profile. It also seams to me that this should not effect the time needed to post a message on the forums. I am not putting the blame anywhere here, I am just trying to find a proper solution. πŸ™‚
  2. I obviously meant that the speed of a post should not be depending on the speed (or anti-spam measures) of a mailserver or the speed of the connection to it. If the mail would neatly be queued within the application, this would not happen. It's unexpected behaviour. It took me ages to find out why posts where slow in the forums in specific cases. Nobody would think of an external mailserver being the culprit.
  3. I have changed back this setting and whitelisted the webserver in postfix POSTSCREEN (../custom_postscreen_whitelist.cidr). This works around the issue by whitelisting the webserver for the postfix postscreen, but does not solve the issue that make the forums slow when replying to a followed topic when there is network congestion or a slow mailserver. As those are external factors, I still think this could/should be resolved on the Invision Community side. For me this is workable now. Thanks for the help!
  4. Thanks, that helps. Now it is blazing fast. I will keep an eye on the background processes and let you know if this works for us.
  5. Is there no way to override the "if it is a larger number" and set this to forcefully queue all notification email somehow?
  6. I have a support topic at mailcow (the well respected mail server I use) as well. Based on what I could find from previous questions: "That's just Postscreen waiting for impatient spam boxes. It is an anti-spam feature and wanted. It will whitelist sane senders for a while." As It seems to whitelists for a short while after the first attempt, This would explain the 5sec delay. Looking into the issue further, transaction delays on postfix seem to be best/good practice: https://tldp.org/HOWTO/Spam-Filtering-for-MX/smtpdelays.html https://www.linuxbabe.com/mail-server/block-email-spam-postfix https://www.postfix.org/POSTSCREEN_3_5_README.html It seems to me (but I am not an expert in any way) a reply on a forum-topic, should not be depending on the speed of an external mailserver or network as those are not a requirement for making a post and should be handled in the background. As soon as I have a response from the mailcow devs, I'll post it here.
  7. Hi, On our forums we are experiencing extremely slow POST times (> 5sec) on our otherwise crazy fast server. It took me very long to find the culprit as behaviour varied from topic to topic / time to time. As I ruled out all possible server issues, I then focused on the actual differences in the topcis and then found out only topics that have followers took long. Most new topcis or topics I posted and then reply to myself did not. Then I looked into the email settings, tried PHP as mailer (I use normally use SMTP) and then all posts where practically instant. Turns out when posting messages, the forum software seems to wait for the email notifications being send. Seems to me this should be a separate (background) process or queue, as most SMTP servers have transaction delays due to spam prevention. That makes SMTP unusable as a mailer. Could IPS please clarify why the design seems to work as outlined and there is no queue or separate proces? Are you open to change this?
  8. Hi, installed and enabled. I do not see the icon though. Invision Community v4.7.13
  9. You are soooo rightβ€¦πŸ˜ Thanks!
  10. In the setting we are able to choose the login method username of email address, but the translation does not distinguish between those. That means users get confused and try to login using a username, though only email address has been set. It would be nice if you could change that.
  11. At first glance this did not seem to work, but it seemed my forums was set to use the invisible captcha πŸ˜‰ Problem solved.
  12. Should be off now. Not possible as the template is identical to the original theme. I have two active themes for admins. A freshly installed default theme and our only slightly modified theme. Guests can not add topics on our forums.
  13. Invision Community v4.7.4 Locking issue: Reproduction: Go to topic > moderation tools > select lock. When pressing 'save' nothing happens. I tried disabling all 3rd party addons/plugins/templates/langguages and clearing cache. Nothing helps, nothing in the admin panel logs. The Second issue might be related: Exception::0 Unknown or bad format (P-1Y11M23DT3M16S) #0 /var/www/sat4all.com/webroot/forums/uploads/template_33_e554b6dcaef0395bbd7d6d63ba187d0a_modcp.php(6271): DateInterval->__construct() #1 /var/www/sat4all.com/webroot/forums/system/Theme/SandboxedTemplate.php(61): IPS\Theme\Cache\class_core_front_modcp->warnHovercard() #2 /var/www/sat4all.com/webroot/forums/applications/core/modules/front/system/warnings.php(116): IPS\Theme\_SandboxedTemplate->__call() #3 /var/www/sat4all.com/webroot/forums/system/Dispatcher/Controller.php(107): IPS\core\modules\front\system\_warnings->view() #4 /var/www/sat4all.com/webroot/forums/system/Content/Controller.php(50): IPS\Dispatcher\_Controller->execute() #5 /var/www/sat4all.com/webroot/forums/applications/core/modules/front/system/warnings.php(42): IPS\Content\_Controller->execute() #6 /var/www/sat4all.com/webroot/forums/system/Dispatcher/Dispatcher.php(153): IPS\core\modules\front\system\_warnings->execute() #7 /var/www/sat4all.com/webroot/forums/index.php(13): IPS\_Dispatcher->run() #8 {main}
