Hey there, Sorry for bother you again with this topic... I'm a bit lost and I don't know if this is something that you guys can help me to solve or if I need to place a ticket for this. The point is that my Files system is loading all images using somehow IPS's legacy proxy image. All the image URLs are like this: https://www.fmsite.net/applications/downloads/interface/legacy/screenshot.php?path=/monthly_2021_01/fmsite-fm21-real-name-fix-corregir-licencias.thumb.jpg.363b3512baedc1704ccac072b07b112d.jpg That's not good for SEO as it's not able to cache as an static image resource. All the images in my site are stored just as the Files screenshots s…

Hello, I read you can limit the number of emails per cycle. How long are cycles? For example, is one cycle a minute? If anyone could explain this to me, that would be great!

I've looked but can't seem to find anything that resembles a notification when a new member joins. If there is can someone point me to where it is. If there isn't, can we have this added to the notification list? It would be really useful to know when someone new has joined so they can be welcomed and made to feel valued. It's not always feasible to keep track of new members when you are starting out and it's easy to miss someone. When members are scarce on the ground for many of us, it would be useful to know when someone joins and have someone reach out to them. I know there is a widget about members, but it only shows the latest member - if two, three or four…

I have 17 pages worth of spam accounts to delete and as far as I can tell I have to individually hit the X button one at a time to delete them I know there is a "prune" command available if you do a filter/search on members, but there is no "banned" or "flagged as spammer" option on this filter. The closest thing I guess would be "content count is exactly 0" however we have plenty of proper accounts that haven't posted yet that don't need to be wiped out. Am I missing something obvious or has Invision never implemented a way to do this?

Hi all. Waited for several months before upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5. Just did. Worked. Started looking around new admincp. Was hoping to link applications in marketplace. About five minutes into my new experience, I got locked out of the forum's admincp; the invision community sign in window came up. Currently, I can log in and out of the front end (and modcp) but not admincp. It just will not take my login and password. Have tried emptying cache, different browser, no luck. Any thoughts before I open a ticket? Thanks!

Just wanted to check; by default users are limited to 100 stored private message conversations. Is there a specific reason for this, or would I be fine to open it up to unlimited without incurring extra fees or otherwise slowing down the site or something? I realize I could technically monetize more messages by giving a higher storage limit to subscribers, but I don't want to limit my users in that way if I can help it. Any insight into this feature would be appreciated!

Does anyone have any experience regarding adding PHP to a theme? I was trying to add the code to my theme in either the globalTemplate or navbar section. I was getting an error when doing so, I tried using the double curly brackets; but this caused the same error. If anyone could help with this matter, it would be a life saver! <?php if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP'])) $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP'];?>

Hi All. Hopefully this is a simple fix or a missed setting that I'm not seeing. When a member buys a file, and they go back to the file page and it shows 2 buttons "Download This file" and a "Buy Now" button (screenshot below). But since they bought it once, I don't want them to buy it again. Is there a setting that I'm missing that hides the "Buy Now" button once the file has been purchased? It has caused a lot of confusion with my members, several of which have bought the file several times. I've reset my theme just in case there was something altered, but the problem remains. I'm on v4.4.9.1. Thanks for the help.

Greetings, I'm working on setting up paid downloads on my site. After setting up the payment options and permissions, I uploaded a new file, set the price to $15, and purchased it using a credit card. After doing so, I see the "Download this file" button, but I also see the, "Buy Now - $15.00" button, even though I've already purchased the file. Why is this button still visible? Thanks in advance for any insight. ..Al

Hey, Basically have a staff application section in our Forums but unsure how we allow it so everyone can see the pinned template? Currently no one can see this section and there doesn't seem to be an option in IPB to allow for this pinned topic to be shown in that section? I know it's possible to do as I did have it working a few years back but unsure how to do it now?

Since the addition of the "Page Builder" widgets in 4.5 I've been using the text one as sort of a headline replacement for widgets with lackluster headlines. But I've noticed that some of the widgets are visible to only some members, the text widget is visible to everyone (or at least there is no way to determine who can see it). That way, now for example - we have a subscriptions widget that only non-subs can see, and a "Get A Subscription" headline that everyone can see and for subscribers looks really out of place. So that got me thinking - why not add a universal "who can see this" selector on all widgets? That way we can tie in the headlines with the actual wid…

Hi, Today I found out that image files are not physically deleted after deleting a post with an attachment. I also permanently deleted the post in mod cp. Why is this happening? I actually assumed that the attachment files would also be removed after a deletion. Otherwise the hard disk space will overflow. rgds,

We have someone who wants to have a live video stream/chat with our community and we're trying to find how to best get this done. The plan is to open a thread in advance where members can ask questions, and at a pre-schedueled time, said someone will "reply" in the thread with a live video stream/chat/conference where they will address and answer the questions that were asked. At the same time, members can of course keep posting in the thread and said someone will read them and reply via the video. Having members be able to join the video is an added benefit but not necessary. The particular platform used for this isn't as important, it can be Zoom, Facebook Live, …

I've converted several databases before from WordPress but once I initiated the conversion for the current one I am working on, it seemed to have finished but ended up with the following: When I look at the converter again, there is an X underneath the "Finished" column which means it didn't work. Anyone ever seen this or have any ideas why it is not finishing?
