Hey all! I'm a little stumped on this and can't figure out what the error message is supposed to be warning me, or how to work around it/fix it. I have a group from a converted PHPBB installation called "ConnSquad Recruits". I want to delete the group, and move all the members (~150) to a new group called "Recruits". When I go to delete the group, all member groups in the dropdown display this "That value is not allowed" warning. It seems I could proceed, but I don't want to chance them being orphaned from a group. Any ideas what might be causing that issue?

Just wondering if anyone is able to help convert this 3.x script into 4.x? I use it to send visitors to my "theme demo board" while also assigning a specific theme for them. ie. If a URL like this is clicked: site.com/forums/skinchange.php?id=10, it'll take the visitor to the forum and change their theme id to 10. Version 4 uses a form/buttons for the "Theme changer" rather than a URL, so I was just wondering if anyone with more knowledge than myself is able to help.. The 3.x script is below. <? /** * <pre> * Invision Power Services * IP.Board v3.2.0 * Simple skin change script * Place in your site root directory to send a user to a specified skin * Last Up…

I'm wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a possible cause for this. IF I open a couple of tabs on my site. And idle for an hour as I sometimes do and then try to make a comment without refreshing the topic it will not appear in the topic or post at all. Until I refresh then I redo post and it goes through. Any idea on what I need to tweak to fix this?? Would I be right in thinking cookie expiry? Like session.cookie_lifetime

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…
