Hello, My team has a user that has forgotten their password. They refuse to reset their password telling our support team they do not have an account. We have repeatedly told them they have an account and told them to use the forgot password feature to reset their password. We have forced them to reset their password in the member area but is their any way for us to force the system to send them a forgotten password email from within the ACP? Josh

I've run into a bit of an issue that I'm sure is just some setting, but it's got me stumped. We've got sister forums, both running the latest version IPS and hosted on the same server. The newer/smaller forum (which I'm selecting in the dropdown box above) is set up to allow users to link their sign-in info from the there accounts on the older/larger forum. We have a user who joined the older forum in 2008 with the username "carrabassett". He joined the newer forum in 2018 with a username of "Silverwings". He'd now like his username changed to be "carrabassett" on both forums, but two of us in the Admin CP have worked on this and can't get it. We are not allowed to change…

When you recommend a comment and delete it without removing it from recommended, there is no way to remove the recommendation because the comment doesn't exist.

I created new achievements and rules. I want to start ranks recounting for all users. Just to confirm: this won't send some mass email (or other) notifications to users that they have earned some badges, etc.?

Since 19/07/2022, when a new user creates an account on my forum, an error page is displayed with the error code EX1364. No mail is sent and the account is still validated. Here are the details of the corresponding system log: INSERT INTO `ibf_core_pfields_content` ( `member_id` ) VALUES ( 7846 ) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE `member_id`=VALUES(`member_id`) IPS\Db\Exception: Field 'sfsNextCheck' doesn't have a default value (1364) #0 /var/www/forum/system/Db/Db.php(941): IPS\_Db->preparedQuery() #1 /var/www/forum/system/Member/Member.php(427): IPS\_Db->insert() #2 /var/www/forum/applications/core/modules/front/system/register.php(566): IPS\_Member->save() #3 /var/…

Hey, I started having very strange problems with the system, happening all over the site including the admin panel For example When I click on the Contact Us button in the forum, the window opens properly, but when I want to close it by clicking on the X button, it simply does not respond - the solution is just to refresh the page In addition, in the admin panel, when I enter the forums menu and want to see all the forums in the category, it shows me the window like this Another problem in the admin panel is when I click on System menu > Advanced Configuration and then wants to enter one of the tabs, he thinks and moves around non-stop (…

As written in the title, I just bought and tried a fresh install of the software (4.7.1) using both PHP 8.1 and PHP8.0. When trying to install on PHP8.x I always get an error (as saw in the error log of apache) at the point of installation mr=191. The error is about the line 180 in Settings.php saying "array_merge() argument #2 is not an array", the installation halts with a blank page. I downgraded to PHP 7.4 and the installation worked, of course with the warning on the compatibility check saying that I should upgrade to 8.x. So right now I have a working installation of the suite, but I don't know If i should try to upgrade to PHP8 now or not.

Hello, I just upgraded from version 4.5.4.2 to the latest one. Everything ran correctly. There are no errors in the logs, however, our external scripts that were based on whether the user was logged in stopped working. The following test script does not work on the latest version - it always shows a message about not being logged in. What could be causing this problem? The path to init.php is correct. My PHP version is 7.4.29. <?php require_once '../../forum/init.php'; \IPS\Session\Front::i(); $member = \IPS\Member::loggedIn(); if($member->member_id){ echo "Logged in"; } else { echo "Not logged in"; } ?>

When a spammer tries to post something without becoming a validated member, the board automatically sends out an e-mail entitled "Did you forget to submit your content?". These messages are generated and sent to some suspicious and know spamming agents. They cannot be delivered, but the software will try to send them again, and again. This has caused issues with our server, as the server IP is being tagged as suspicious. Our site is not able to process any registrations, bulk mails or notifications by e-mail. We are currently only getting about 5% of our e-mails delivered, or received when members click on the validation link. We have to do something to fix thi…

I'm wondering why you've issued this warning today? I've been running PHP 8.1 without issues, and have been checking the logs for any issues, but see none. It's compatible, or I'd be seeing errors. In fact, I see more errors in my php-fpm logs from when I was running PHP 8, then after I switched to PHP 8.1, and I won't even mention the awful speed scores I got from Google while running PHP 8.0. Downgrading to PHP 8.0 would cause my site rank to begin tanking again due to speed issues...it's been improving ever since switching to PHP 8.1. Unless you can point to something very specific that would break by running PHP 8.1, I don't understand the new warning. Pleas…

I have some questions or settings. I do not find it so i dont know if it is possible or not. First , is that possible to limit the creation of clubs to only some group ? I want that only certain groups can create clubs not everyone. Another thing, is it possible to prevent certain groups from sending me private messages or to maybe block the possibility to send me private messages ? Thank you

Hello, I just updated a patch for 4.7.1 that fixed some issues with pages. Since I installed it a few minutes ago, I can't stop seeing the last three topics I created in a page application. I click on the links, and they still appear as unread. I cannot remove them from the unread stream. Am I doing something wrong? Why did these read topics appear out of the blue, and why can't they disappear from the unread stream? You can check the three posts in the unread stream pages for the "Basic Concepts". These topics were created a few days ago, they never appeared in the unread stream because I was the topic's author and now they suddenly appear and they can't disapp…

Is there a way to completely turn off the ranking system. We do not use anything of that nature on our site. We're a small storytelling play-by-post group and ranks are totally irrelevant to what we do. I've looked all over the ACP and even here and can't find a way to do it. Thanks for your time!

Since updating to 4.7.1 the drop down menu for the search box in the upper right corner of the screen is misaligned within the box. When the drop down menu is opened, it is transparent with the text behind it showing through, making it difficult to read. Please see attached screen shots. search_box_issue.pdf

,. i went to go renew my license this morning, and being super early and not having my coffee yet, i didn't want to pull out my debit card and type out the really complicated strings of numbers 😛 (as the card on file is super outdated lol) and i'm done paying paypal fees this month, so i was excited to see "apple pay". So i selected it, thought it was odd it was showing 'GPay', was like "alright, that will work too, i have that". however when i clicked on it, nothing happened. so i thought maybe it was me using chrome, so i tried safari, same thing. it showed the 'GPay" logo, but when i clicked on it, nothing happened. So i ended up having to get my debit card. this …

After so many years of putting it off I've finally migrated to Elasticsearch. Can't believe I waited this long, as choosing a local AWS server has seriously sped up general use of the forums and functions. However, since I did this some members are complaining about a change in the way Unread Content, and View New Posts is working. Apparently, prior, these would just show the last post in a thread, whereas since enabling Elasticsearch, Unread Content will return every single unread post in a thread. I did at the same time tweak the settings of the Search functionality so I don't know if it was my doing, or what the default values should have been. My s…
