Can anyone help me with a SQL command that I can insert in the SQL toolbox in admin, so that status updates gets enabled for all users? I found this command (update core_members set members_disable_pm = 0;) that will ensure member pm are not disabled. So I think something similar could be run to enable status updates for all members, I hope someone can tell be the correct command for this.

I was wondering if there's a way to set the search box in the top right to always default to searching "All Content"? I've found recently that our users are using the search box while in an existing thread; They don't notice that the search is filtered to "This Topic" by default, so they get no results for their search. I would far prefer the search to always be filtered to "All Content", allowing them to manually choose "This Topic" if they need to narrow down the search. I had a look through documentation and our own admin section but couldn't see anything to this effect. Any thoughts? Cheers, Vero

In my forum, searching in all areas for a 3 character word ("mew") returns 0 results despite the 3 character word being a fairly common word. I did some MariaDB query logging and found this criteria being used in the search query: MATCH(index_content,index_title) AGAINST (? IN BOOLEAN MODE) As far as I can tell, the search term is being ignored because it's too short, but it looks like the default minimum search term length is 3 characters. Does anyone know how to verify whether the configured minimum search term length is what I think it is? Side note: If IPS staff is reading this, I recommend adding a way for the user to know that their search term(s) is/…

I've been playing a bit with my forum's colour patterns. So, I'm trying to achieve a combination of light grey, white with touches of blue here and there (mainly buttons). That was easy to achieve by simply changing the colours of my theme (which is just a copy of the native IPS 4.2.6 one). However, I'm stuck when it comes to some menus. 1 - How can I change the top right (+ Create, notification and mail icons, member's name menu) from white to dark grey or black like it is here on IPS? (I mean just the colour, not the absence of avatar) And... 2 - The top row of the main navigation menu like this: How can I achieve all caps? I tried sim…

Hi, Having an issue whereby nobody is able to change their profile photo. This is what happens... Have tried on different web browsers, with different profile photos. There's nothing in my web server error logs or the forum logs. Doesn't appear to be a permissions error either, since uploading attachments into the forum work fine. Any suggestions? Pretty stuck on this... Forum is Supplement Reviews

The site is: http://dinkboards.com It should be the main forum on the index page. Thanks!

Hi We plan to use Commerce with Classifieds to set up a marketplace So if i understand well how Commerce works : - users can pay with their paypal account - If they earn commissions, they get credits (in the case of the Classifieds app, sellers get credits for the items they sell on the marketplace) - Users can ask for their credits to be paid - Then we pay them their credits for the sales they have made All this with Paypal So The marketplace (us) holds the money before to pay them so it could be a danger if the buyer is not happy with his purchase, what happens ?

Hi guys, Our site is relatively stable most of the time now however on occassion we have someone using our search to try and trawl the site for a single word. Considering the size and type of the forum it's pretty obvious it's going to come back with literally MILLIONS of hits. It causes a lockup on our database, it's basically the equivalent of searching "fish" on a fishing forum Anyone got any way around this other than shortening the search index range?
