Hi, I have just migrated my site from the cloud to its own dedicated server, I host this via Plesk has I did previously and all is working well except for one thing, when I ran the support function to see if anything wasn't working it stated "external connections not working". This is proven to be preventing clients registering as this throws the error EX110. After asking the support team they have stated the issue is related to the connection being lost to MySQL, I'm not able to find how to resolve this issue, any idea's? Regards.

A few people accidently registered with their email address as their display name. We changed it but others can still view the display name history for those users and see their email address. How can we clear the display name history or disable it from non moderators to see display name history?

For the past while (not sure how long) the Who's Online block has been visible to members. It shouldn't be because I've set permissions to Administrators only (Applications > System > Online User List). Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

I've got a long standing forum that's been there for years. (can't remember but early 2000's) It's very well established I'm getting annoyed though by the page redirection that goes: www.website.com https://www.website.com https://www.website.com/forums/ This also affects my site speed and I'm keen to eradicate this by moving from website.com/forums to website.com Question is though - how would this affect my standing with Google, SEO etc?

Swearings getting a bit out of hand on my forum lately, probably due to everyone being bored out of their minds, frustrated, skint etc etc because of Covid. Haven't activated the swear filter up till now, but as the forum is for professionals and is widely visited by the public I think I need to do something. Rather than just replace words with ***** I thought it might be fun to replace them with alternatives, might make the posted second guess trying to beat the filter, specially if I cover all bases. Anyone care to put forward some suggestions? Needs to be subtle enough as to not make a mockery of the place Example: c word - awesome guy

I keep getting logged out of my admin control panel every 1-2 minutes. How can i stop this? I went to Security Settings and turn off Check IP address when validating session? and that fixed my issue, but in the setting's description it says "When disabled, there is a greater risk of session hijacking. In most environments, this setting should be left on. " What is a better way to resolve my issue with "Your IP address does not match this session"?

After talking to support and coming up empty handed, I turn to you. Maybe some of you came across something similar and found a solution or workaround. We have a forum that only members in a specific secondary group can post in. Users are manually added to this group at moderators' discretion. We've now decided to allow every user with 150 posts and more to automatically be allowed to post in that forum. However, after doing that, members in the secondary group (who were manually added) that DON'T HAVE 150 posts, can't post in the forum, even though all appropriate permissions seem to be set up correctly. Is there any option to allow a certain group to "bypa…

Hello, For some strange reason, my CKEditor stopped working. It doesn't appear: Inspecting the source code of the page, I came across a script from ckeditor not working, could that be? It looks like this message: The file is in the directory, the point is v=4e52a1ea3c when I remove this part it appears. I can't say if this code is a key, but could it be something there?

Hello, I did a search but could not find anything. Having recently upgraded, I have noticed that guests are able to see member profiles. There must be some setting to stop this. I have looked but cannot find it.

Is it possible to display featured or pinned posts to all members in a specific forum even if "can see posts by other members" is un-ticked? For example, I want to have a post on how to appeal a ban and the requirements that should be met before posting an appeal. I don't want other members to see appeals inside unless they are Mod+ so I need a way they can view my thread with instructions but nothing else. Is this possible?

Ever since I migrated up to 4.4 I seem to have broken my site. I did have it up and running for a week looking great. Then I broke it again. I have roughly 500 members and a lot of post and threads the images I could care less... Is there anyone who can look at it and tell me if you can salvage anything related to my content of members in my broken down data base? Please send me a PM and I will show you where to grab the DB to look at it. If you think you can repair or import it into my site we can work something out that would be great. Thanks Mark White
