As I understand it a Cuebanner is that bit of grey text which sits in a text box that maybe gives information or instruction and which disappears as soon as you click on it and start to type. You can see in the above right-hand corner of this Invision forum – the search box with the word Search… written in it. As soon as you start to type the word disappears. It will be really nice to have a plug-in or application which could produce these. I'd like a Cuebanner to appear in the "title required" box of a new topic form and in the message area. Also in new user registration forms, for instance to remind people not to use their real name I'm sure there…

Hello, When I go to the downloads: What's New I would like to have a different view that looks more like the OS X Finder, a list view and make Highest Rated, Most Downloaded be in a separate tab. Same for the categories I would like to have them on the left side. Could you help me?

I've noticed it before, but passed it off as a mistake or hallucination, but seeing it now again, I have NO doubt - I have plugins disappearing on their own. Nothing was uninstalled, nothing at all was done, yet they disappeared. Anybody else had this happen?

I'm trying to rationalise our groups a bit. I have one group – with about nearly 400,000 people and another group with about 5000. I'd like to merge the smaller group into the larger group and then eventually get rid of the smaller group. Has anyone any idea how this can be done please? Thanks

----- THE ISSUES 1) On the admin cp when I navigate to Themes, click on the dropdown arrow next to a theme, and select "edit html and css" none of the html template or css files show up. The panel where there is normally a collapsing list of these files is empty. Furthermore, editing the custom.css file and clicking Save produces an error popup that reads "this file can not be saved!". Same thing when attempting to edit the global html file. These 2 files are the only 2 accessible, in that their contents actually do show up where they normally should, although their names do not show up in their respective side panels. I've tried downloading and re-uploading themes f…

Hi there. Prior to the upgrade I confirmed that we were already on IPS4 and met the php/mysql version requirement. When we ran the upgrade last night while extracting the files from the Admin CP upgrade we encountered the following error "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting ';' or '{' in /XXX/XXXX/public_html/forum/init.php on line 923" I filed a support ticket but would also like to get this resolved quickly. For whatever reason our host site backup is not restoring to the previous forum version as well as manual downloading and sending the files via FTP. I am curious if editing the file in question above to the expected syntax would resolve t…

PayPal Pro has their credit card token feature that allows us to charge for subscriptions without the liability of storing CC info on our server. This is nice. Does the 2checkout implemention in IPB have such functionality?

Hello people! In IPS 4.4.10 how do I go about making Pages my default home page? As with the older versions of IP.Content, I used to have my board in a subdomain, I’m assuming this is still the normal practice? So I have my board in forums.ugcclan.co.uk. (Changed license domain name) I wish to have the main page load up when accessing the main domain name. I appreciate any help and advice. Thanks! Sent with iPhone

I have this morning had to disable new registrations from our large 150,000+ user community due to what must be a bot registering spam accounts. I have all the usual registration features in place (captcha etc). But in the last 24 hours I've had over 2500 registrations. Every one is passing the Spam Defence score (1), and they are activating their email. They are all using different IP addresses from across the world so an IP ban is out of the question. I have all new registrations locked into a very limited use New Member user group that does not give them any access until they introduce themselves, but I made the mistake of allowing this group to still ha…

So here's my issue If I do a system check before doing the upgrade it comes back with this: MySQL Requirements MySQL version 5.5.5-10.3.27-MariaDB. Recommendations You are running PHP version 7.2.34.

Suddenly our community site is giving the old EX145 error code when trying to log in, or when logged in and trying to load a new page. This usually indicates that the table ibf_core_sessions has crashed, but in this case, repairing the table shows no errors and has no effect on the problem. So, I'm completely stuck! For what it's worth, the forums continue to function normally if you're logged out, but any attempt to log in generates the error, including for the ACP. I'm guessing I'll have to log a ticket for this one, but thought I might try the brains trust first. Kevin
