Hi all! I've seem to run into a nasty error with the ckeditor on our website. Last night I was trying to install new buttons manually via FTP and I may have accidentally corrupted the entire thing in the process. I also made a slight mistake of deleting the entire ckeditor directory (parent folder in my File Manager) trying to install a new one with the plugins I need from the official site. I re-uploaded a copy of it but it doesn't seem to have resolved the issue. This is what I get now in Editor > Toolbars within the ACP: On the site, the widget seems to load but no toolbar nor textarea is present. Was wondering if anyone would know how to resolv…

I have this weird issue that in the Blogs app, whenever any reaction is given to an article, the icon will not display correctly. Is anybody else having this issue? Or does anybody know how to fix this? Let's start with how it should look like: Everything is okay here. The icon is being displayed correctly. You can click on it to open a popup with information about who reacted in which way (if permissions allow it) etc. Now this is the issue that I have in the Blogs app: You can already tell by the look of the icon (grey borders, resized icon) that something isn't right here. And in fact the reaction icon is inserted like a regularly linked i…

A few months ago an admin on my site was attempting to merge a thread with five posts into a thread with 50,000 posts - not normally a problem. However, they made a mistake and instead were attempting the merge the other way - the 50K post thread was merging into the five post thread. Again, not normally a problem...except this time the process was interrupted. The end result is the 50K post thread is now basically non-existent. If you open the thread it shows one page - no pagination to the other 3000 plus pages. It also says "0 posts in this topic" - even though you can see 15 (the entire first page, even though there's no pagination). Here's a link: https://www.str…

Hi, With the default group for moderator I'm able to set which forums they can moderate - but when I try adding a second moderating group, or try adding an individual member as a moderator I don't get this option in the ACP>Staff>Moderators - change to restricted - option. Is this something that can be changed somewhere so that I can set other groups or members to moderate only particular areas? Thanks very much for any help given

I migrated from Vbulletin 5 to IPS. I notice that Search engines see topics with a 301 redirect. I also realize if I remove the converter (uninstall) then those redirects would be lost and it could have an effect if other sites are linking to my site. However, with the 301 redirects, and with so many of them that are not linked to, and as they are showing up with a 301 will this not have an adverse effect in the search engines since some link juice is lost? Point being if there are limited sites linking to mine would it be better to uninstall the converter and let Google index these with a 200 response rather than a 301?

I work on rather large communities. We are talking about communities with 20+ million posts. Every now and then on upgrades I encounter this issue with gateway timeouts during the upgrade because the query to count the number of rows in the posts-table takes forever. Ironically; one example of why it may count rows in the posts table is when it counts the number of rows in order to decide whether it should tell me to run a manual query to avoid timeouts or not... One example from now: | <Id> | <user> | <host> | <db> | Execute | 373 | optimizing | /*IPS\core\extensions\core\Queue\_RebuildSearchIndex::preQueueData:127*/ SELECT …

I changed some things about how my ads are served, and noticed that banners would not show up until I deleted my cookies. I suspect that the banner are not showing up for my regular visitors due to this issue. Is there a way to force a new cookie...make the expiration shorter to clear this up?

Good evening, I am testing a migration from Vanilla to IP Board on my localhost XAMPP setup. The conversion runs smoothly (using the 2.2x / 2.3x converter application) until I reach the step to convert the posts. I get a 'Waiting for a previous conversion cycle to finish...' load, where it then cycles me through page refreshes until I finally land on a 'Sorry, you do not have permission for that!' page with the following error: "2V387/1 There was a problem proceeding with the conversion, a previous cycle was still running. Please go back to the conversion to continue." Using the troubleshooter, it tells me to download unmodified patch files (even though no …

Hello, This is my forum. www.TheModernVocalistWorld.com. It has been a community that is about 10 years old. It probably is the world's most popular open forum for singers, or at least at one time, was. I don't know of any other forums that compete with it. We had a really strong run for about 6-7 years, the a few things happened. Migration to FB groups and distractions from newGen social media. Suspect... The community never had a full blown, social media manager that could keep the buzz and fun going, other then myself, who... After about 7 years of this, just got tired of all the work it required to post, maintain, etc... At …

Hello, I am attempting to upgrade from 4.3.5 to 4.3.6. I do not have FTP/SFTP open on our server, so I need to perform this update manually. I have downloaded the .zip file of the new update, uncompressed it, and attempted to upload it to our site. Everything is uploaded and in the correct directories. When running the upgrade, I am receiving the following error: Some source files are not correct for the latest version. If you uploaded the files to your server manually, the process may have failed or not completed yet, or a new version may have been released since you downloaded. Download latest version from your client area and upload the files again in ord…

I am having issues displaying ads properly at what I believe are 3 different screen resolutions (my current ads use 2, and it is causing issues). So currently I use the following: 1) <div class='ipsResponsive ipsResponsive_hidePhone'>Desktop banner code here shows Banner A only on desktops</div> 2) <div class='ipsResponsive ipsResponsive_hideDesktop'>Mobile banner code here shows Banner B only on mobile</div> However, when I slowly close the with of the browser there is a mid-point where both Banner A and Banner B are showing, then if I continue to shrink the width it correctly shows only Banner B. I would like to make #2 above …
