Hi everyone, One of my forums doesn't get a lot of activity consistently, so I'm getting a message that I need to set up a cron job for tasks. The dire warnings of what will happen if I don't do this correctly has me spooked. Please tell me if this is what I need to do: Go to Cron jobs in cPanel. Click on Common Settings , then Once per minute. Paste in the code exactly as it's given to me by my IPS software. Click add Cron job. Then go to Advanced Configuration in my ACP and change task setting to Use Cron job. Is that right? Am I missing anything? Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi, I wanted to set up a mirror copy of one of my boards for testing some new style elements. I have done this several times before with this one and other of my IP boards, but this time it's not working as usually and I don't know why. I hope anyone can help me. The original board: www.dasylab-forum.de Mirror copy: www.tschepe.biz Error message: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?', expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) in /www/htdocs/rhatios/forum/init.php on line 1367 What I have done: I have duplicated the database and the html files.

Hi, I just had a spammer who used private messages sent to a lot of users. I marked him as spammer but it does not delete the users private messages, and I don't see an option anywhere to do so. Did I miss something ? I think we should have a way to delete a user's PMs and that marking as spammer should be able to do it automatically. Thanks.

Hey IPB fam, I am super excited for the 4.5 update. Everything I've read (and seen in Alpha) looks and sounds awesome. However, I've also noticed I feel a little apprehensive surrounding the release. I realized what it was. I'm nervous to upgrade because of the third-party plugins, applications and themes my forum depends on. I would hate to experience any major bugs or temporarily take the forum offline to fix things in the event something breaks. Anyone else feel the same? Everything I have enabled in my forum (in my opinion) are features and functions that serve a purpose. Anything I don't use on a daily basis is disabled or has been deleted. That l…

Hi everyone, After recently discovering that nearly a 1/5 of my membership base are fake accounts, is it possible to run the spam defence stuff on existing members accounts? Would certainly make it easier than having to go through each account and unsub them from bulk email, or check bounced emails and delete accounts accordingly.

Hi Guys, About 10 days ago my server crashed, I'm not sure of the reason but she's been up and running fine since. But, I've been having issues with my forums ever since. I have contacted support but they refused to help me over ssh and require sftp access which sounds straight forward but that would result in some major file changes on my server to make sftp write permissions work. So, I'm now on my own. This is a really strange issue... I use 2 themes, my 'default' theme and a 'dark' theme. Both just lightly modified from the default theme. 99% of my registered users (130k or so) use default and i have a few hundred only on the dark theme. …

Hello! For some strange reason the word "Status" is being translated to "Enable?" on several places throughout our community. Any idea what could be causing this? I checked our "Translate" options and nothing is being translated and I have tried using the "Quick Translating" feature and it does not save after I change it from "Enable?" to "Status". Any help from this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Support Ticket Status: https://prnt.sc/shth79 Report Center Status: https://prnt.sc/shthq6

I'm basically trying to set up Group Promotions to where when someone joins the forum, they are placed in a group with limited capabilities until they reach 10 posts. Then they will be moved to my 'Members' group. In Group Promotions I've set up the group, followed this guide: Just like the Guide, under Filters, for Groups I left it set to 'All Groups'. Everything else I left settings to 'All', for Content Count I set it to 'More than' - 9. Under Actions I set 'Move to group' to Member. In this group at the top, I do have 'Enabled' turned on. in Groups, I have this groups setting, 'Enable Group Promotions' turned on. Now, people are registering, but they a…

I looked in the Categories section of Downloads, I can not find a way to disable the Star Rating system. I want to leave the Review part on, where people can write and leave a review, but since I disabled Star Ratings throughout my forum, since 99.9% of people never used it, I don't need it to show in the Downloads section. Is this possible? Thank you.

Is there a way to get the stats in raw numbers as opposed to getting the graphs? I'd like to more easily track how many 'guests' are visiting the board and seeing the raw numbers would be easier.

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…
