I have a custom database in Pages which shows items in the approval queue in ModCP. I can't work on these items because they are actually approved and shown on my page. I'm in the admin group with all permissions, still I can't approve the items. Frankly speaking, I have no idea how the were put on that queue in the first place. I have a very small community and automatic moderation etc. is off. Could you give me a hint how I can clear this queue? I have more custom databases but this is the only one where I have items in the queue.

How do I update my forum from v4.1.11.1 to the latest version on GoDaddy shared hosting and from FTP and Database backups? I was on an old hosting account that didn't have high enough version pf PHP and MySQL and wasn't able to keep updating as new version became available. So now I'm trying to do a fresh install to the latest version of the forum software on GoDaddy shared hosting plan. Just need to know how to do it. Been a long time since I've done anything, so I need a lot of help! 😀

Hi Guys My support tickets seem to have vanished from the Client Area. I have always used this link https://invisioncommunity.com/clientarea/ It shows me as logged in but there are no tickets there plus the option to add a new one has gone too. Am I still in the correct place or is there a specific url for tickets now?

(Reposting since the problem recurred when attempting to upgrade) Moving from v4.5.2 to 4.6.7, getting the following error when attempting to upgrade: SELECT count(*) FROM `core_anonymous_posts` IPS\Db\Exception: Table 'cbforums.core_anonymous_posts' doesn't exist (1146) #0 C:\websites\forums.comicbase.com\www\system\Db\Select.php(383): IPS\_Db->preparedQuery() Wonder if something got out of sync after having to do a recent restore from backup of the site -- I had recently upgraded to 4.6.2, but the restore I had to do reverted it to 4.5.2 -- might some data / tables have gotten out of sync? To attempt to reset things to a normal state, I have…

I've been locked out of my test installation, which is strange because I'm sure that I had the right password saved in my browser but after the very first login attempt I get a message that I've been locked out and try again in 14 mins. This doesn't seem to expire. Is there a way to tweak a value or something on the file or SQL level to reset this so I can at least verify/change the password? Thanks! EDIT: problem solved

Had to roll MySQL back from a backup recently, and the forums came up, but getting various DB errors--particularly when trying to upgrade to v4.6.7 In particular, the upgrade fails with a '[myforumname].core_anonymous_posts' doesn't exist Any idea how to recreate/fix this? -Pete Possibly relevant: my other forum, which had not been upgrade to 4.6 previously, does not have this issue. Is there a way to re-run the upgrade from 4.5 to 4.6 (which, presumably, created this table?) -Pete

Finally I have just figured out why I am seeing this message. It's really sad there were no error logs to show, and we have tried before to find what causing this in this topic. The bug is related to the new anonymous content new feature. How this message shows. Forum that has allow anonymous content feature enabled. Admin group or staff groups have permission to post anonymously (can post anonymously enabled for the group) This message shows whenever the staff members who can edit any member's post/reply trying to edit a member's reply to the topic where forum has allow anonymous content feature enabled and this member grou…

Hello all, I have 2 IPS sites, one with 15,000 members and another with 150,000 members. I would like to use the Bulk Mail feature for the first time to send out an e-mail blast to update the members on some changes. I don't see options for X mail / minute, and i presume if i were to click "SEND", this would crash my server due to the sheer number of members. Does Invision throttle the sending of emails to something that is acceptable to the server or are there any settings that i can change/update? I prefer not to use an external/paid mail server if possible i.e. Mailchimp, etc Thanks in advance!

I moved to a new host and emails send to people who wanted to sign up got a link they needed to click for verification that had an "url1128" appended on it. I fixed that. But then I moved to yet another host because the previous one couldn't handle this software and I'm now am facing the exact same problem and I just cannot for the life of me remember what the solution was. On top of that I deleted all email correspondence that could tell me how to fix this, so this is a lot like 'Obi-Wan you're my only hope' question. So this is what the link should look like: https://whateveryoursiteaddressis/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=redirect&…

Is there an easier way for my wife to add products to her store (Commerce) without having to log in, go to AdminCP and log in once again. Then navigate the menus until she finally gets to the Products section. Wouldn't it be much easier, faster and slick to be able to add products via the + Create link on the page's menu?

Hoping there may be an answer for this. A member is having issues, because his iPad cannot view either of our two communities (which are updated to the most current). Here is his description of the problem. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! I was hoping you might help! I started having problems opening this forum and the world forum on my iPad about a month or two ago. I sometimes get a “the server stopped working” message but mostly it just spins and never opens up. I thought it was something with my old iPad….it was very old. But I now have a brand new one and unfortunately I am having same problems. I know my internet is working because I can pull it up on the laptop …

Hello Invision Community, I had update my community's forums to version 4.6 this morning. By doing so, my login method (previously solely relying on Steam Integration) had broken, resulting in me not being able to access my forums' AdminCP or register a new account. In attempt to remedy the issue, I (foolishly) got confused by Invision's customer panel and paid $15 to move the forum to another domain, where I created another installation, in hopes of reverting my forums back to default settings (while keeping my MySQL data) and then switch back, however, this simply resulted in a 500 error: "An error occurred (500 Error)" When trying to reach the AdminCP …
