Hi, I've just received a notification from Google AdSense telling me the ads display is suspended because their rules are not respected. When looking more closely they incriminate the login page to be a page without content so they don't want adds displayed there (because it does not complain with their rules). It appears to be something new because it has been working without any problem from more than 2 years... According to their request, to solve the problem I need to remove any Add code from the login page... OK, but the adds code are set into the globalTemplate theme template, it is set for absolutely all pages of the community... So I don't see how I ca…

My Adsense ads are intermittently not appearing. I have tried different browsers, cleared caches, used the default theme and still the Adsense ads sometimes do not appear. It seems particularly reproducible in a post vs. the board index. Examining the source in the browser indicates that the Adsense code is being served. Here's is an example of a page that has the problem. 3 Ads should appear on this page.

Hi there, I've just installed a fresh IPB on my website, however, the editor box is missing when trying to make a new thread. I've checked apache/nginx error logs and there is nothing. However, when I check the dev console on Google Chrome I get bunch of 404 errors for some reason... (and now I can't modify this thread to fix the quote... 😕 Sorry.)

Hi, Since my last upgrade to v4.9.9 the red notifications for Unapproved Content that used to display when browsing the forum have disappeared. I cannot find where this feature is managed and do not see that it was taken away from the Release Notes. Does anyone know where to toggle this on/off?

I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but upon creation of a new support request or staff reply, members don't receive a notification or visual alert. Is this by design or can I turn this on somewhere? (For clarity, I'm referencing the Commerce app)

Hey guys! Got a question here. So, im using the Dreadnought theme by @TAMAN - love the theme, just 1 small issue. Where it has the site name, this text is extremely plain and basic, Id like to change that out with a picture (Text logo essentially) Now, I know I can do this with a HTML Code, as seen here: Now, the main issue is when I do this, the tab looks like this My fix request are one of either two things. Is there a way to change the name on the tab that does not call from the site's name? Or, is there a way to remove the name from the theme itself. If not, it looks like this:

We're seeing reports from blogs that are marked private and our moderators can't seem to figure out how to access them. We get a permission error when following the report. Is there a permission/setting that allows moderators to see/access private blogs?

A few days ago, the automatic embedding of videos from YouTube stopped working.

Hi guys, We are migrating a large forum from vBulletin to IPB. We've done plenty of testing and had some great support from the IPS team. Unfortunately, at the very last moment, we discovered a bit of a 'oh no' moment. The standard converter will not import PMs from vBulletin if they are replies only, i.e. not you don't have the original first message. The problem is that lots of users, back in the days of the vBulletin PM system, would only keep the last reply (to keep within their quota) or perhaps only keep an occasional reply if it had something useful in it. These types of messages disappear when we do the conversion as the IPB converter cannot re-create t…

hi, could you help me on making such a custom field in pages. that custom field would be for inputting the news source url of the original article that I've posted. I wish to simply paste the url in the custom field area and I want the output to be shown under the article on the next line with url truncated so only domain name remain for example. if full url is https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/forum/497-peer-to-peer-technical-support/ then https://invisioncommunity.com/ would be shown, but when you click on the link it would take to the full url https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/forum/497-peer-to-peer-technical-support/ ? For now I made a…

I've noticed that when I have tabs open on my 4.4.4 forum and they've been sitting open a while, they are prepended with a pause character at some point. Why is this necessary? I could see it happening on the All Activity page since that one is monitoring for new content, but the rest of the site? I see it on this site as well. Any insight would be appreciated. And it would be nice if I could disable this unless it's serving some useful purpose. Thank you, ..Al

After hours of try and error, I am still not able to integrate Google Maps. I follow this guide https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/community-enhancements/google-map-integration-r270/ Unfortunately IPS Admin area and Google area look both different, the screenshots in the guide seem to be outdated. Additionally there are different APIs named in the guide and in the GUI of IPS. In the guide we have: Google Maps Javascript API Google Static Map API Google Maps Embed API (only in guide, but not in ACP) Google Maps Geocoding API In IPS ACP we have: Maps Javascript API Maps Static API Geocoding API Places API (on…
