I have Rocket Loader enabled with Cloudflare and I believe that it is causing issues with the Multi-quote feature on my forum. Does anyone know which script is used for Multi-quote so I can add data-cfasync="false" to it?

I started receiving this message repeatedly in php_errorlog ever since I enabled Memcache on my server and in ACP. Is there something I have done wrong?

I have a member that I need to be able to login as one other account. Where is the permission to do that? And is there a way to allow him to only login to one account or would it have to be all the accounts? Thank you!

hi, I don't know about you, but once I learned that IPS made this imageproxy thing was a very good day. sadly a day many years late since my community entered its 14th year as of 2020. Image the number of image lost to external website and the likes of imageshack.us and so on. taking advantage of it in 2019 is only futureproofing with a big loss in past posts. anyhow it poses its own inconveniences: huge giphy reaction GIF caches since my members loves them and in signatures - GAMER-CARDS (with game stats) which are updated often while being linked to a single external image get cached too). I wonder has anyone tried looking into a way to exclude certain domains from…

One of my new members states they are getting this error code on many pages. When I did a search I found nothing recent or after 2015. Is anyone else getting this? I logged in with several different user group accounts and could not replicate the error, I did not see it even once.

Hello, I hope this is the right place to add this question. I have a site which is part blog and part forum. I want to have a consistent header across the site and I'd like to pull in a php file (called header.php) into my InVision theme. I've created a test theme but I can't see to get it to pull in the php file into the Global Template I've tried a normal PHP include and I've also seen a reference to use {insert="myfile"} but neither work. Is there a way to do this? My thanks in advance to anyone offering advice! Rob

Hello, I've been a licensed customer since 2004 and haven't really had much luck in getting a community going and sticking around. I had one for my family, and then a general one where I paid for people to come and post to try to get it started. Long story, but I don't actually have a customer base I can tap into for a community. I've been struggling for an identity. I have many personal interests, mainly revolving around IT / Online Gaming / Data Center services. I am looking for ideas for forums and categories, and was hoping that someone had some suggestions for me to build a general community. It doesn't have to be technology specific, as my domain…

Hi guys, I'm wondering what are your thoughts on long URLs in Pages' news? What I mean which you think should be better with search engines and so on? Would www.site.com/parent/category/article-title-r800/ Be worse than www.site.com/parent/article-title-r800/ And in my case as I have a need for going even deeper to classify my articles I go as far as which starts to look ridiculous. www.site.com/parent/category/sub-category/article-title-r800/ ?

Hello, My question relates to database migration. I am using Invision for my website forum. I have a friend that wants to shut down his own website and merge his phBB forum into my database. The idea was to preserve his forum topics by placing them in their own category on my site, something like 'Bob's Forum Archive'. Has something like this been done before? Is it easy/moderate/high risk?

I moved the webhost and changed the domain name. Now give me this error. I have deleted the old domain license and now I do not know how to activate the new domain on the new license, because we want to have the same rescue. How do we proceed to save everything we have created on this forum but to remain with the new domain?

Hi, Does anyone know how this statistic is calculated ? I keep beating my record but Google Analytics clearly does not have the same number, and does show a peak at the moment of the record shown in IPS.

Hello community! For some reason, I can't move user submitted images into albums for sorting, something I'd been able to do in the past. What would cause this issue? I've tested various settings, but I wonder if I'm missing anything. I can't move anything by other members, or my test account (and we've done this before) but if I claim the image as my own only then I can move it. I don't want to claim everyone's pictures.

Hi everyone, what is the difference between a forum moderator and a club moderator? And how can I stop a forum moderator from posting in a club he/she is not a member of. We use a club for administrator discussions, and discovered yesterday that a forum moderator could read our posts and even comment. A bit awkward when some of the threads were about our moderators and how they are regarded in our community.

My community is international and for members from around the World. I don't have a specific niche and accepted any content, except prohibited: illegal content, criminal activity, black market. I already added a lot of words in filter. But I can't know everything in the World and I can't know all the governments regulations. That is why I'm afraid my community to be banned by any of them. How to check is my community available for all the countries?

In the file downloads section, how do we get rid of the "what's new in version" along with changelog drop down box. Every time I edit the file text it adds another changelog, and I have no way to delete them.

Hi all, I've had a look around but this is something that's out of my technical expertise. I am using Ezoic to serve ads on my site and I want to hide ads for subscribers. I can do this by setting up a custom cookie (e.g. Cookie called WebsiteEzoicAds with value NoAds). Then I would just tell Ezoic to hide ads from users with that cookie. I know how to trigger code for certain groups, but not sure what to use to create/set the new cookie {{if in_array( member.member_group_id, array(2,4,3) )}} // Set cookie in here {{endif}}
