Hello, I want to embed the forum into my site, which means forum will be using my user database (including google, and facebook register and login) Forum site will be seperated from my main site (e.g. http://forum.mysite.com, http://www.mysite.com), and the look will be the same with my www site. Seems I have two options like the below: Changing header and footer using theme configuration Using SSO But I still cannot find the best solution to integrate member register and login between 2 sites. Anybody can lead me to the workthrough? Thank you.

I went into our database and messed with our Forum Bot and changed the member ID to 10000. Since then I deleted the Forum Bot, but now the ID of whoever registers falls after 10000. I only have 8 people right now on our forums. Anyone know how to fix this?

If people are allowed to edit their own content, in a Pages database, what happens if maintaining that content falls to another person? Is there a way to allow multiple people to edit specific content without creating 17000 usergroups? Or be able to reassign it?

Hello, I'm having issues moving a topic to another forum. The forums "Accepted Applications/Denied Applications" are marked as Discussions so I know they aren't category, For some reason these particular forums can't be selected and be moved in there as shown in the picture. Any help please? I can select everywhere else including sub forums, just not these for some reason. I tried different themes and default, but nothing. Even messed with the forums permission, still no go.

Since I read the recommendations here to try the combination of Amazon S3, Cloudfront with IPS, I've tried several times over the last 3 months to get it working properly with little lasting success. Just when you think you've got it working, the monthly cost is almost non existent, you find you haven't got it working for long and you begin the process of recovering your files and studying the AWS documentation before trying again. The main issues I've found each time I've tried this are: repeated issues with objects (e.g. Gallery images, emoticons etc) randomly disappearing from S3 buckets after a few days. large numbers of files being abandoned and orph…

howdy all - sorry to clutter up with too many questions, but the upgrade to the current IPB version created a problem: even after trimming back, our MySQL database is now a bit under 1.5 GB, and our shared server has a 750 MB cap. i literally don't know how to get anywhere near there without losing valuable post data...we've just under 500k posts so no idea why it's that big, but i don't know what else to do. i don't believe Invision still does small individual hosting (far as i know), can anyone recommend a decent priced host with more database space? we've got like 20 GB of server space and use maybe 2, this is our only issue currently. appreciate any help here,…

I just tried to export and import my RSS-feed of upcoming event into our newsletter which then sort them into when they were entered into the calendar and not in actual upcoming order as shown when I look at the RSS-feed in my browser or in Outlook. Does anybody have any experience in importing events to an automated newsletter software who has any useful tips?

I'm trying to get an advertisement just below the page header. But unfortunately I get an odd double border at the bottom of it, and a bit too much space at the bottom too (it should be the same space that you see between the alien image and the top, so almost none). Don't mind these images, it's just a mock-up but whatever I put there doesn't change the double border and the excess of space at the bottom. Here's the code I'm using: <div class='ipsResponsive_hidePhone ipsResponsive_hideTablet'> <article itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Comment" class="cPost ipsBox ipsComment ipsComment_parent ipsClearfix ipsClear ipsColumns ipsColum…

Hey there, Just wondering if anyone can share their experience on using Adsense with IPS. I get about 5K page views per day and am lucky if I get 5 clicks out of it. Similar websites of mine (which are blogs not forums) are earning 150+ clicks for similar or less pageviews. I have authorized Google to access member only content, have played around with various insertion methods (default IPS ad system, plugins, manual insertion, etc), changed the ad types and layouts extensively, and yet there is never any clicks. Does anyone else get virtually no clicks on their forum's Adsense while getting decent traffic and impressions? I am trying to figu…
