I've been using PHP to send emails from my forum, but have been using a gmail address. For some reason this stopped working around the 7th December. To complicate matters, I don't have access to the server, as it's paid for by someone else, and she lets me host my forum on it. I have tried the support team, and they're having problems working out what's wrong. They have advised me to use SMTP instead.. but I have tried every combination of settings for this, and nothing seems to work. Can anyone tell me which SMTP settings should work please? Many thanks...

Is it possible to delete a member with no content in bulk? I have a huge membership database that I need to purge. I converted my mybb site over to IPB. At the time, I had a download section that required a member to register to access the downloads. People just signed up to get the file. I need to delete those accounts that have zero content.

If I set my [board url] to www.MySite.com -- the site doesn't load. But if I set it to simply MySite.com ... it works great. Ideas on why this might be? Related: if I type in www.mysite.com to a browser, it redirects to mysite.com. Thoughts?

As the title says, is there a way of preventing individual articles (or records, items or whatever one calls them) from inheriting the blocks I've added to the page where they are displayed as links or thumbnails? What I mean is when I open an article, I'd like it to take the full page without sidebar/blocks. It looks like it's normal IPS behaviour across the board though, as I notice the same happens to Activity streams; if I add blocks to one of them, the other streams get the same blocks too. But just wondering if there's a way of avoiding this, particularly when it comes to Pages.

Hi Community Friends! I wanted to get some feedback from those of you who use IPS Connect. I want to make one of my sites a slave to my main site. The slave site will have more users in it's database than the master site. Will this be a problem? Will users be able to sign in to each site across the network? Also, do the sites need to be on the same domain in order for the SSO feature to work? (ie. site.com - subdomain.site.com) Finally, is it possible to have the "master" control all login/registrations instead of having slaves do this? Thanks for the help and feedback.

After removing themes from the 3rd party, in the core_global of the default theme, I see the templates created by the 3rd party theme. They have not been removed after removing this theme from my installation. I enabled a Designers'mode and removed these templates. After synchronize changes , these templates are restored to a default theme. Any idea how to remove these templates I appreciate. thanks

Sometimes I click on the reply box at the bottom of a thread to expand it, and the WYSIWYG doesn't load, only the grey attachment area appears, like this: Anyone else ever have this? I can't recreate it on these boards so I'm wondering if it's something I broke, although I can't imagine how, I don't have any custom javascript.

Hello Community, I want to set up a way to give my members a bonus for certain actions they do like posting quality content, helping people or even giving them advice. Give them a credit if they earn reputation an, post a video in the videos plugin and similar actions. Potentially this even should be possible to exchange or "pay" people. At the very end the people should even be able to exchange their accumulated credits and either buy something in the download store or get a payout. Now there are, as much as I see, three plugins. Members Shop Points: and Points Economy I am sure that points economy is very well c…

Let's explain some situation: BadUser posts some bad posts Moderator1 see extremely bad post and give a warning with a posting restriction - 30 days Next, Moderator2 see old other bad post and give a second warning with a less posting restriction - 1 hour What we see after that? We see 1 day posting restriction and 30 days is gone away. In restriction list we see first and see date, when it's given and see time period for deactivate - 29 days. But in profile we have not see any restrictions - because it was rewrited by new one. I think it's not right logic. Any new posting restriction should check current restriction and if more than new one - N…

Can anybody tell me how to fix these problems and tighten up the spacing? I imagine that if I could set a default member title for those who have none and all new members, that would cure the double name. Just don't know how. I'd need to remove the membergroup text/line and lose a line of space above it. The location has no : or space after it. If I could just change the word and add a colon and space after it, that would be great. Longer locations would fit better with the shorter word too.

So I originally had my community installed in a subdirectory /forum/ but I wanna move it to my www root. What is the best way to do this, upload a fresh installation and use the existing database and reupload my theme and if possible, forum configuration? Or should I just copy the existing installation and move it over and modify the domain in conf_global? I'm assuming it's the second one but I wanna make sure.
