I am in the middle of my upgrade to 4.4 and I am stuck at System Check. Apparently I need to up the PHP memory from 32MB to 128MB. I don't have access to that and the admin is not available yet. Can I abandon the upgrade at this point or will it end up in disaster if I do?

Hello. I'm trying to customize some piece of javascript which I would like to put on my forum in a page. Hello {member_name} welcome on our forum Or maybe also the sitename variable. However, if I put this in the wysiwig editor in source code html, it will display exactly this and not the username. I also tried with: Hello {member_name|raw} welcome on our forum which had the same result. Somewhere else on the net I've seen somebody using %member_name% but that was for messages. In the mass email function {member_name} is used. How can I use the variables (and which) in the forum itself in a page or block like described above?

We have an issue with our disk quota. Since we have upgraded to 4.3.6, enabled https AND switched on "Allow remote images?" and "Serve images from local server?" our upload folder is over 50 GB. This month we have nearly 10 GB in monthly_02_2019. And the monthly folder gets larger every month. Actually I just wanted to serve non-secure http image from local web server to avoid browser warnings. But it appears that everything is stored in our upload folder (also secure images, videos, PDFs and other files). These are not attachments that blow out the folder, the settings for attachments size are very tight on our server. And if I see the attachment list there is…

Hi, My community is part of a bigger site and is the referentials for users management. I would like to host a login page outside of IPS but allowing users to login with their IPS credentials. Community is under mydomain/forums and the rest of the site is at the root. Ideally once logged in either on the ips side or on the website side he should stay connected on both sides. Now what i wouldn't want is a user having to "allow" my site to access IPS information, simply because it is indeed the same site and people just wouldn't understand why the question would be asked. I know the answer to that is Oauth but what option should we use ? and is there a…

Hi, I upgraded from 4.4.0 to 4.2.8 and I just noticed that any of my users that didn't have a cover photo set have a seemingly random background colour when you view their profile. Same thing for new users. See attached. On this forum users with no cover photo seem to have a standard image instead. Any ideas? Edit: Actually it's only with the default theme, on my slightly customised theme it works as it does here. Weird....

The upgrade was a bit problematic on my server. First I had to upgrade to php7.1 on my Ubuntu 16 LTS server, which is not part of the main distribution (I wonder why). After I tackled that, and PHP7.1 was running, I started the upgrade, and got stuck here: InnoDB presently supports one FULLTEXT index creation at a time ALTER TABLE `core_search_index` ADD KEY `index_stream`... No way to cancel out of the upgrade, just "retry" and "continue", whci made no difference as the error simply re-appeared. Luckily, I found a workaround here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28666643/what-does-the-mysql-5-6-error-innodb-presently-supports-one-fulltext-in…

Does anyone know of any plugins or any other way to be able to get deeper reporting out of IP Board? One of the things we'd love to see is what are the busiest times of day for new posts / threads so we can make sure we have one of our community managers working at that particular time. Any pointers much appreciated!

Once I uploaded the files I got an error 500 form the main forum and the admin page. rest of the site works.

I got a regular member asking me how to be able to edit a post he made. In the members group all permission are enable so I'm quite lost on how he still can't be able to edit his own post. I even logged in into his account to view all the changes I've made and still no edit option appearing underneath his post My Admins and moderator can all view the edit button but not him. anyone else had this issue?

Evening y'all! Got a weird one out of the blue. For the last couple of days, one of our members isn't able to receive private messages. Nothing has changed with regard to the forum setup, addons, server ... nothing. Staff can send her PMs, as that's not a setting members can change, but " cannot receive messages" is displayed on the compose box when another member tries to contact her. I verified by logging in as the affected member that she hasn't blocked anyone and she does have messages enabled. She's the only one this happens with, and nobody on the admin side has made any changes to her account. Any direction y'all can give will be appreciated. Th…

Hi, I noticed version 4.4 is out. How exciting. I want to upgrade but I thought I read that I need to be on PHP 7x or higher in the release notes, unless I'm mistaken. I'm currently running PHP version 5.6.33. If I do need to upgrade, my server is at GoDaddy, will they upgrade this version or do I have to? I'm really not sure how to go about upgrading on my linux server or what will need to be updated on the forum side after I do upgrade. I appreciate your feedback. My current system check: PHP version 5.6.33. cURL extension loaded. Multibyte String extension loaded DOM extension loaded GD extension loaded MySQLi exten…

Dear all I've just upgraded 4.3.x to 4.4, everything works fine but all of a sudden I started getting Error 500 randomly. It's not a specific page error, it's random, hitting reload works but it's not the idea! My php is PHP Version 7.2.15-0ubuntu0.18.04.1, server runs on nginx. I've enabled lazyload, then disabled believing that's the problem was there but not. Checking server logs does not show anything important [26/Feb/2019:00:14:45 -0300] "GET / HTTP/2.0" 500 0 "https://www.espacioprofundo.com.ar/topic/32530-ori%C3%B3n-desde-san-juan/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/72.0.3626.109 Sa…

There will be two ways for people to become members of my community. The first is by directly buying a monthly subscription. That's easy enough. The second is by buying another product I sell on a completely separate platform which includes a membership to the community as a bonus of purchasing that product. In that scenario, the person will complete their purchase and end up on a 'success page' that contains a link to https://www.mycommunity.com/register/ for them to create their account. However, I just noticed that my other platform adds useful query string parameters to that url which contains info about the purchase (order number, name, email address, …
