I was just brainstorming and im wondering it it is possible to use a variable. Im not sure what it would be set up like but for example. If a user had a profile field setting for hiding profile. Can we use a yes/no option and then if yes/no profile field = yes then display profile page - if no then display something. I know the logic but im not sure if profile fields can be used this way? Im thinking this may be a cool way to set up user specific settings that they can toggle on and off

I have been a customer with IPS for quite some years now and this is the first time I have felt the need to post feedback. My website is predominately content driven but uses the forum as a side feature. www.kartreview.co.uk When 4.0 was released (after years of waiting) I upgraded to take advantage of the many feature benefits over the 3 series. We spent a fair amount of time getting the site cutsomised enough to differentiate it from other IPS websites. All this took many hours and some hired help (money) A matter of months later 4.1 was released and we were left in an awkward situation. Due to the differences in the themes and templates, we sim…

Hey, I just switched to IPB 4.1.8 and got some questions. I want an clean install of the files and stuff, but I want to keep users, forums, posts and stuff. Should I upgrade from 3.4.7 or is there another way to import all those data? I want to force the option "Show popup window when I receive a new personal message" to be activated by default and don't want the user to change it. Is there a way for it? I just can find the other notification options in admin notification settings. I want to make a plugin or a hook or something to change the color of the username. What would be the best way? I think in 3.4.7 I had a hook for it. Is there any documen…

Apart from the Uploads folders are there any others i need to retain to keep things working? Hope this makes sense. Marc

I can't seem to find this setting anywhere but I feel it must exist. Can we control whether Mods or Admins can be followed using the Follow button? Because right now on my forum Mods cannot be followed for some reason and I figure it's a settings issue.

So ever since the upgrade to 4.1.8 I've been periodically getting this message while in my ACP/System tab. "The following tasks appear to be locking frequently: profilesync" Image attached: I have to run this manually. Before hand this was all being handled well through the cron tasks. Any thoughts out there?

I had a handful of security issues fixed within my website and the tech said as long as Apache config file and the Php config aren't messed with, these security fixes won't need to be updated. So does the regular IPS software update ever mess with these two particular files, requiring me to have the security continually updated?

I'm having a problem searching forums from my tablet. When I click on the search icon in the upper right of the home page (Or any page for that matter) the search box comes up but when I click to put my cursor in it to type it quickly disappears, so I can't do a search.

I currently have my site in a subdirectory of my domain, i.e. mysite.com/forums I would like to have it *appear* as if it is in the root domain without actually moving the installation down a directory, i.e. mysite.com/ So that a forum link would look like... mysite.com/forum/497-peer-to-peer-technical-support instead of... mysite.com/forums/forum/497-peer-to-peer-technical-support Is this possible with a simple .htaccess edit? IPS 4.1.x has the ability to rewrite a lot of URL's as it is.
