Hi I have multiple calendars on my site ( for areas all over the UK) but it seems that the ony RSS feed available is upcoming events which covers all calendars. I wonder if if there is a way for me to have a RSS feed for each one somehow? Reason I want this is to feed the calendar events into the relative forum ie cheshire calendar events into cheshire forum. Thanks if you can help Its the same with using pages/blocks it only has upcoming events or reviews not individual calandars

Hi i have 3 issues. 1. The calendar widget has a calendar selector. Unfortunately clicking on the drop down has no effect (yes I deselected "all") 2 In the unread content activity feed, I see numerous entries stating: This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view. Yet I am admin with thousands of posts. Surely the activity stream should display content I can see? 3. YouTube videos. I am finding it very, very unreliable. Sometimes it works and I get the embedded video, other times I get a plain text output, other times I get a clickable link anyone else seeing these issues?

Hi, noob here trying to set up products and bundle offers on our community via IPS, commerce, and Downloads. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been spinning my tired for a stress-filled day, desperately trying to figure out the magic setting combination to be able to make product bundles for people to buy. We sell several products as zipped files that people can download after purchase. We want other products they can buy to be a bundle containing all of those individual products. While there's seems like several obvious options to set up a file in "downloads" to be assigned to multiple products in the store, they NEVER appear in the second …

After upgrading to the latest version, the editor will no longer open/work. I've tried utilizing multiple editor skins, adding buttons, etc, trying different themes, disabling all of my plugins, and the editor still will not pop up. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is my only option to reinstall?

Hi there. I would really like an easy way to know when/if user profiles had been edited by their authors. For both custom profile fields and anything preexistent (like photo) already there as well, anything on there. I was hoping to actually moderate the changes, in that the user could go ahead and make them, but they wouldn't go "live" for other users until approved. (that was the HOPE, anyway) I'm noticing in the latest version that there are a lot of options to hold the "content" of various members by group or individually, etc., for moderation, and examples given include forum posts. I'm also noticing in the ACP under System > Settings > Postin…

I couldn't find this on the support forum. It's hard to catch unless someone catches it on the forum. I have at least one forum that isn't showing up at all on the Stream. And I'm still having the issue of not being able to change my A.S. setting to view "everything" instead of "Content I haven't Read". It won't save it - defaults back to Content I haven't Read every time (under Read Status). I know there's are lots of issues with 4.1.2 and I know IPB is working on them so I'm guessing this will be taken care of with the next upgrade.

Hello, Since the 4.x update, I'm receiving a increasing number of complaints about members getting banned without a reason, and apparently it's not because a wrong action from moderators. Even investigating the last posts of these members, there's no reason at all for the bans. Could IPB4 be doing this because a flawed spam detection or other stuff like that ? Anyone noticing the same complaints ?
