Hi Guys This has been happening on and off for a couple of weeks now. Some members (around 20%) are unable to comment on threads. They are "forced" to comment by adding a txt file This seems to be entirely random i.e. different groups (including Mods), different locations etc. Sometimes it just goes away, then comes back again. Any ideas?

Hey! Recently I had to re-import my database due to some issues on my host machine. After doing the re-import everything seemed fine, then a few days later I've noticed all these weird letters appearing I've attached some media but it's basically these weird Â's and other weird symbols, I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this issue as it's made the whole of the forums look strange on older posts. I have tried the 'Something isn't right' option in the admin backend but it didn't fix this issue. Thanks!

Hello, I currently have someone helping me out with technical support on my forum, but they are away a lot, and often not easy to get in contact with. My question is, is there anyone else in this group that is located in Australia, that knows their way around IPB well enough to help out? Happy to pay for work if its done properly and promptly. Thanks in advance, Geoff

Hi there, we're having an issue where when users try to upload a file in a club using the files feature, they receive this nondescript message: Looking at the system log, it tells us: InvalidArgumentException: (0) #0 /var/www/html/applications/downloads/modules/front/downloads/submit.php(147): IPS\Helpers\Form\_Upload->__construct() #1 /var/www/html/system/Helpers/Wizard/Wizard.php(181): IPS\downloads\modules\front\downloads\_submit->IPS\downloads\modules\front\downloads\{closure}() #2 /var/www/html/applications/downloads/modules/front/downloads/submit.php(681): IPS\Helpers\_Wizard->__toString() #3 /var/www/html/system/Dispatcher/Controller.php…

So I'm trying to add a custom image to my navigation bar, but it doesn't extend to the side. How do i make it extend to each side all the way? i have this simple code for the header and navigation bar image; #ipsLayout_header > header { background: url({resource="header.png" app="core" location="admin"}); background-size: 100% 100%; } .ipsNavBar_primary { background: url({resource="menu bar.png" app="core" location="admin"}); background-size: 100% 100%; } and it looks like that; As you can see, it doesnt extend all the to each sides. And it needs to so it fits with the header image. Thanks

We've had to restrict the use of JPEG files on our forum and have limited file uploads to PDFs .doc etc. However it would be very handy if the site team could upload JPEG files when necessary. I don't see that there is any way to allow this. Anybody any ideas? Is it something I've missed? Thanks

We would like the IPboard system to send an email to a designated email address anytime a user posts a new topic or replies to a topic. We're trying to solve the problem of making sure all our team members get a notification of one of these event types. So we'd have the ipboard mailer send the notification to an email address that is a distribution list. Anyone have ideas about how to best solve this?

In 4.5.x. Banned both a user name (non-registrable) and an email address. If I later import a CSV list containing either one of those, they still import. A ban should prevent us from importing a banned user, email or IP, the same way an import blocks the import of duplicate/existing entries. Thoughts? Thanks.

I have two client accounts with Invision Community because I use both a business and a personal card to pay for my various licenses. I very rarely need to use the business account (this one) but logged into the Client Area with it. Now that I've returned to the Community, I find that I'm logged in with my business account rather than my customary personal one. And there doesn't appear to be anything I can do about that. I can sign out but there's no option to sign back in specifying an email address: clicking the option to sign in with an email address uses the credentials from the last-used account, which is no solution. It's possible, of course, to sign in using a …

Hi all and @Ehren I am building a section to attend client issue, after open a thread for the client (I will create a topic then change ownership to that client) I don't need the button "Start New topic" anymore from members side. So how can I hide the "Start new topic" button of a specific forum? The client will use threads created by me (or staff) to communicate with us (staff).
