Hi, I'm a cloud engineer maintaining a large IPS forum with ~200k users. We've been using IP.Board since the early days, but we're needing to migrate our forum to a more modern server in order to keep it maintainable by our small team. We've looked into IPS cloud as a modernization option, but the current offering isn't viable for us. One of our requirements is that we need to be able to create members from our other internal microservices, and allow these members to login with oauth. At the moment, this isn't possible with the API, and requires direct access to the IPS MySQL database. So, in order to modernize our forums hosting infrastructure, we are movi…

Hi, This is causing me a lot of grief at the moment. Updating media files (usually PDFs), even old ones (> 6 months old), almost never results in the latest version being loaded on a subsequent refresh - even on other machines on other networks. This means I end up having to delete the original media file and re-upload it which causes more work (need to update the link in the code and re-upload that) broken links Are there any tricks to fooling the CDN to let go of the old version of the media file? I note that the _cb=1694742873 variable changes in the "media URL" reported by the admin control panel, so I would expect the new version to b…

My passwords were memorized by my browser. All of my saved passwords were erased for some unknown reason. My forum's is simply not sending the email with the password reset link (I checked my spam folder). The password reset email worked for this forum allowing me to post my request for help. I'm locked out of my forum is there another way for me to reset my own password?

I hope this is an oversight or a weird bug. Why can't we edit our signatures here?

Pretty sure I have it configured correctly, but can't get it to show anything. Plenty of posts on my site, I've tried it as a sidebar block, as a page block, as a subforum block. Nothing ever appears. Current settings, 2 posts in the last 9999 minutes. Is there something else I'm missing to get it working?

Gallery : Exif Tags removed when a user modifies the data of an already uploaded photo Hello everyone. I have already reported the case but it has not been resolved. Gallery. When a photo is uploaded the Exif TAGS are perfectly displayed. But if the author of the photo subsequently changes the title or description of the photo, when saving, the Exif TAGS are completely removed. I think it's a bug. A photo uploaded without description with complete Exif And then, when I change description Exif removed. My website is a photographer community. Exif TAGS are very important for us. Thanks in adva…

When users click "Whats on your mind" to post a new status it just stays on "Loading" I looked in the console log and it's showing a 404 error for applications/core/interface/js/js.php?src=core%2Finterface%2Fplupload%2Fplupload.full.min.js But I see the files there. Any ideas what could be going on?

I've had around 10 spam accounts from India over the last 48 hours. When checking the IP, they are all from India. This morning I set it so that accounts from India are under manual review and yet 5 minutes ago I've got a new account posting spam, and the IP is from India.

After a number of years of being offline, we recently brought our message board back from the dead. Some of our users/members couldn't remember their old logins and just re-registered as new members. Is there a way to merge an old member account with the new user/member account?

Hello, today we upgraded to the latest release and immediately activated the "blocking disposable emails" feature. (btw, very good idea 😉) We did three tests with 10 minute or temporary email providers and in every case I was able to finish the registration and confirm my email address. Did I do anything wrong?

We are in the cloud, and trying to integrate a new ad partner Ezoic and it is going very poorly. We have a small group of users that pay a subscription to get no ads. Ezoic doesn't use the ad blocks, so they gave us a script to put in that would (they said) prevent ads for that group. We made changes to core > front > ipsfocus > headExtra and put things in there. I thought everything was working but now people are saying they can't access the forums. Some groups can, some can't so I want to remove the latest changes and revert back. I can't get into the admin panel, I get this message no matter what I try. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. [[Templa…

Long story short. I made a bunch of subdomains to sort all my storage into subdomains. Files into download.domain.com. Images into images.domain.com etc. So far so good. Apparently the permissions that is set when creating a subdomain do not work properly when then changing the storage in ACP. So not everything was moved but ACP still deleted the content left over on the original storage. After a lot of back and forth I decided to restore from a backup, but dumb as I am I didn't make a full backup before I started the storage move, since I didn't know permissions would cause so many issues. So, I restored all the files which I had a backup of, but the database b…
