Hi guys. Just wanted to pick your collective brains. I am in the process of reviving an old feature from my vbulletin board. This was a fungi resource/database which contained a list of 50 different fungus, and information on each one. There was a facility to search for fungi based on what category they fell into. All this had its only landing page which served as the main page for the entire directory. This also played a slideshow picking random images from each directory. I have had Dawpi write a converter to bring all this data across to IPS and it is currently stored into records. What I am looking for now is the best way to present these records on the…

Hi all, Topic title says it all. On our board the Facebook Login & Registration plugin has been enabled for several years. I prefer to step away from it, but before I disable it, I'm curious to the impact it will have on our users with an active connection. Will they still be able to log in? If so, with which password? What can do to make the transition as comfortable as possible? Thank you in advance!

Hi there, Life got in the way of us keeping our installation up to date, and we're currently running v4.3.6. The main reason was the requirement for a PHP upgrade. Regardless, I finally got around to upgrading PHP. Now we're on PHP v7.3.14, but the upgrade tool continues to say we're still on PHP v7.0.33. I'm not sure what I'm missing, here. I've already restarted the web server (we're using nginx, though I'd like to ultimately go back to Apache but thats a whole other discussion for another day), and also restarted php7.3-fpm. What am I missing here?

We've just had an issue where somebody registered and then with a very short time had managed to "follow" pretty well our entire user database of over 300,000 people – and as you can imagine the system started send out "XXX is following you" notifications which when clicked on would take you to that person's profile with a load of spam for sex and pornography sites. We caught it 20 minutes after it registered and we managed to delete a very large number of the notifications that were queued up. However, I then decided that it would be a good idea to configure new users to only be able to employ the "follow" facility after XX number of posts – but there doesn't seem …

I added Pages to my license. I have followed the instructions to manually download the Invision Community files from my client area and upload to my server using FTP. My site is completely broken. Invision support confirmed this is what I should do. Has anyone else done this? How does it not break your site when overwriting folders on your server? What am I missing? Thank you in advance for any pointers! Chris

We used to be able to import from IPS to IPS. Can this be done again? I am moving to a new server and would like to start with a "clean" install and import my current info. If not, any advice on moving about 45GB of files and 800k+ posts? I will have the software vendor do it, just want to pass along the info to them. Thanks

Curious to see what you all think of a Guest IP resolving to an AWS EC2 instance (per the hostname), 3.81.x.x range. My first thought was screen scraping through a proxied EC2 instance since many bots are blocked? Just not sure how "worth it" that is...or really doing anything as a guest via an EC2 instance (especially with my site).

Hi, we are still trying to migrate our board from Version 3.4.8 to 4.4.x and I restarted the process from scatch. I set up debian 8 on a virtual machine (because our provider runs debian 8 as well) and set up mysql, apache, php5, phpmyadmin. I created a new database via phpmyadmin an restored the backup of our live-board via mysql -u myuser -p database < mydump.sql, which also succeeded. After adapting the configfile to the new database credentials I accessed the url of the board and got a message, that said, that something with the database connection is wrong. Looking in the error.log of apache I found those messages: [Tue Feb 04 04:14:…

Just a question to see if someone is experiencing the same problem as I am. This is mainly for those using 4.4.x. When I look for a specific subforum via the ACP search field, I can only find those I created before upgrading to 4.4.x. Any newly created subforums after I've upgraded to 4.4.x (in my case I went from 4.3.6 to 4.4.9.2), or any subforums edited after the upgrade, don't show up in the ajax search of the ACP. Of course these subforums exist and I can access them from the admin and public sides, when I just browse to them. I've submitted a ticket already but since I have an extremely high amount of subforums they say this is something they can't di…

Since we upg to 4.4.4 we intermittently cannot access the AdminCP from several browsers, platforms and both private and non-private windows. When one admin IS in, they can see that the log shows the admin access is successful, however, that admin just gets a reloaded admin login screen. Here is an apache access log of the admin access: 14.212.32.148 127.0.0.1 - - [20/Jun/2019:19:23:24 +0000] "GET /forums/admin/ HTTP/1.0" 301 - "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_6) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.1 Safari/605.1.15" 14.212.32.148 127.0.0.1 - - [20/Jun/2019:19:23:24 +0000] "GET /forums/admin/?adsess=7pip9i62o5q2eq4r9dj375p…

Is it possible to have different currency subscription plans? I have enabled USD / EUR / GB in currencies, and these boxes do display on the admin page when setting up subscription plans, BUT if I select anything other than the site's default currency, it just displays on the actual subscription offer as 'price unavailable' (I have a Paypla account linked for payments which does accept multiple currencies) any clues how to set up different currencies for subscription plans? is it even possible? Thanks,
