I spent a good amount of time yesterday setting up new groups, I now have a total of 4 groups. Only the first group I had Signatures disabled. The other 3 groups Signatures is enabled. On my forum, Signatures are still being shown, but when you go to Edit Profile, if you are in 1 of the groups where it's enabled, the Signature field is NOT visible on the Edit Profile page. I even tried Enabling Signatures in the 1 group, so all groups have Signatures enabled, but when I went to Edit Profile, the field still was not there. Does anyone know why this would be happening, or how to fix this? Thanks in advance for any help with this. UPDATE: When yo…

Hey IPB fam, I want to upgrade my email template game for ALL emails being sent. That includes: Auto-responding emails, like when a new user registers, If they opt-in to receive a notification via email Or an auto-drip campaign (If there are any others, those too!) I want all of the emails to look uniform and branded to my website's color schemes, which is navy blue, two variants of purple, pink and white. Below is an example of an email template I'd love to use. I created this through SendGrid's email template creation tool, and I would love to mirror this in IPB. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 1.) Lo…

So our community isn't displayed in English but Hebrew. And we've had a fairly easy time translating pretty much everything we wanted. Even things with different grammar rules (e.g in Hebrew, you don't say "This has 1 comment" but "This has comment 1", while if you're talking about multiple comments, it remains "This has 12 comments"). But I have now come across something I can't crack. the "this many members have found this review useful". See, the problem is that this here's a screen shot from the translation of the key in the ACP: As you can see, on the right side, there is no mention of the word "Members". however on the front end, it does show u…

I am trying to do a test import to make sure everything will work properly when I do the live site. I keep getting this error: 2V101/A IPS\convert\_Library::process: imagecreatefromstring(): Data is not in a recognized format All paths are correct. I have tried importing 2 times now and get the same result. As soon as I start the importer it errors. Image processor is ImageMagick although I also tried GD. Same result. Database is UTF8. Any ideas what is happening and how to fix it.

Hi guys, We lost our webmaster some time ago and I have taken this task over. I need to transfer the whole site/contents/databases etc onto a new server. I have another domain i am looking at using for the test site before I risk losing the main live one if it goes wrong. I know I can use the test license but i don't know how to update it so my new domain uses it. I have downloaded the webspace contents and uploaded them. I have also downloaded the databases and made new ones. I have edited the conf.global.php information but no matter what i do it still redirects to my main live site. Any help please is appreciated.

Is there a way to use the opposite of this setting? We started sending email from our own sever and it has been a disaster. Many large email domains won't accept our mail, even though we pass SPF, DKIM, DMARC, rDNS, FCrDNS, etc... The only solution I can think of is to block people from registering with these domains.

Hello, I'm still wondering how it is that the BEST forum software still hasn't figured out how to INTEGRATE its forums into Wordpress nice and neatly? When one considers that 30% of the web runs on WordPress ... it ought to be a NO-BRAINER to have a seamless integration? Look at how XenForo has a nice tight integration? And there is no way that Xenforo can top Invision... or can it? https://www.themehouse.com/xenforo/2/addons/xpress Honestly, will someone please create a NICE tight INTEGRATION between two great software pieces? Thanks, BB It's not as if WordPress is going away ... https://trends.builtwith.com/cms/WordPress

Good evening all. I am sure I had this setup right - clearly not - and it's been running fine for two years ! Is it possible to setup a Moderator so they can only moderate a certain forum area rather then the whole site ? Thank you.

Hi Guys, I've been really annoyed with SPAM coming in through our Contact Us page. The one thing all of it has in common is the Russian language. I discovered that users of G Suite, myself included, can filter messages based on Russian characters in addition to many others. Here's the video I watched that shows how to do it. I tested it and it works beautifully.

Hello! I have a quick question about the daily digest emails. I get a daily one from Invision, and they're great. I am having trouble understanding how to do the same for my own forum. I am following content and have asked to receive a daily email, yet I have yet to get one. Attached is settings for a particular forum. I have followed it for more than 24 hours, so in theory I should receive an email with new content, right? We are using Sendgrid to send emails. We also have a from address set. Wondering if I could get a little help pinpointing the issue as to why. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I upgraded to 4.0.7 last night and it broke a lot of things. Unfortunately, I did not keep my previous version. Does anyone happen to have that version? I have pm’d the developer, but I am waiting for a response. In the meantime, I’m trying to fix some broken things. Thanks.
