Hi, As a part of a daily routine we monitor the https://invisioncommunity.com/release-notes/ page to see if there has been any updates to the forums. When checking the page it would seem like the newest release was 4.5.4.2 dated 04/22/2021 with a warning triangle indicating this is a security patch and everyone is advised to upgrade as soon as possible. The thing is that we have already updated to 4.5.4.2 quite a while ago. IIRC 4.5.4.2 (or was it 4.5.4.1?) was fixed by going to "Support" -> "Something isn't working correctly" to sort it. Has this just been merged into the full download in the client area? Is this supposed to be 4.5.4.3, only mislab…

Does anyone know of a way, short of going into SQL, of finding all of the members who do not have a password set? This happened because I imported a large number of members without a password and did not send them an email, now I have to sort through and find out which one of them does not have a password. Obviously, as a last resort, I’ll dive into SQL.

I wonder how can I test new subscription and payment gateway. There is no group restriction for the subscription, so that I cannot create one just for test and special group I cannot restrict the payment method to special user group only I cannot test on test server as the payment provider does not allow other domains (only live) If I overcome the previous, I still cannot test on test server as the payment interface should be accessible publicly and test installation must be protected by .htaccess I cannot use the constant \IPS\NEXUS_TEST_GATEWAYS on live server as it applies to every payment method Any idea of how to create a test subsc…

Would you please make it possible to renew every year instead of every 6 months? There's literally no case I can think of where we'd want our forum subscription to expire any time soon, and making it every 6 months just adds extra work for us and for you. Thanks, James

I am talking about /admin area. It keep expiring the login very fast. If I take a break, I will be already logged out, and then I have to refresh all pages and open all the sub-tabs inside them (like multiple HTML templates). Is it possible to increase to timeout to perhaps a day in local dev installation?

Hey all, So I have a member who has hyperlinked some text with a link (Url in question: http://dev_tc.axihub.ca/) and I have verified the hyperlink indeed is pointing to the correct URL prior to submitting the post. However after the post submission the system alters the hyperlink and points it to my forums homepage of https://forums.extremehw.net/ Is this a security feature of IPB ? Just need to find out why it is doing that and if I can alter the behaviour. Many Thanks, P

Example: trying to force reset password. To so so I need to pick dates, for example join date, with a from and to picker. I cannot for the life of me figure out what those two dates mean. Is it from 00:01 AM? From 23:59? For example, if someone joined today 04/21 and I want the system to send them an email, do I put 04/21 to 04/21, 04/20 to 04/21 or 04/20 to 04/22? 🥸

Hello, This morning, I noticed my community was down with a 500 error message. I accessed the APC and ran the support tool. It disabled applications, skin modifications, ads... Then I reactivated them one after the other. In the end I found out the problem was with the theme and I removed all theme modifications. I had made very few modifications to the theme : - adding a <div align="center">{advertisement="hautdepage"}</div> for displaying an advertisement banner. - making a few modifications as indicated here : Compared to the old theme, the new theme has more options... as if the old theme had not been updated when I last upda…

Hi All, I wrote a big topic today for my site and I uploaded a heap of images to it. Two issues stopped me from publishing though and I had to leave the topic in our moderators chat section; 1. The images are not converted to thumbnails. Whether we insert the images into the post or not. So its just a big long post of images. 2. The images that we do 'insert into post' still appear at the bottom of the post, so we get duplicates. It's been a while since I've posted anything pic heavy like this but I'm sure this isn't how it used to work ? I did a heap of searches on here and couldn't find anything matching my issue so I'm hoping its just a config iss…

Hello, We run a rather active community, and when we upgrade to IPS 4, would love to take advantage of the Amazon S3 Storage Setting that's built-into the suite. My question, however, is if we could easily support alternative S3-like services, such as DreamObjects. DreamObjects uses the same API as Amazon S3, it just requires a different endpoint (objects.dreamhost.com). Is there an easy way to change the endpoint so we can use our buckets with alternative providers? That's really the only bit of code that needs to change and it should work (assuming there's not... strange things going on in the background). I've actually gotten several developers of other application…

Hi all, has anyone noticed the "Topic Summary" side bar is taking up too much space on tablets? I'm getting a lot of complaints about it. Tablets don't seem to have the highest resolution and the sidebar takes up about 25-33% of the screen. See screenshot from my users: I noticed there is a setting to disable this for mobile devices, but, it looks like tablets are being considered the same as desktops. I would like to have the capability to disable it for tablets or mobile devices. Any chance of adding another option for tablets (don't combine it with desktop). I like this feature, but I only want to enable it for desktops.

Not sure what to call it specifically, but here's an example when I share a link on Discord. The logo that loads is huge. How do I fix this to use something... Rational? Or no logo at all would be preferable to that also...
