Hi After a subscription purchase... what should the return url be? Is there a standard url? If not, does anyone have any guidance on creating one with pages? A simple thank you would be easy enough, but it would be necessary to confirm successful purchase to commerce... no? I am using Paypal Pro Cheers John

I have just realized that when placing an image in a block for example, the text that accompanies it will display in line and vertically centered and when the text line breaks to fit in the block it continues UNDER the image. Are there any tricks and options to forcing text wrapping in blocks and the WYSIWYG Editor? I suppose I could go with raw HTML and create my own CSS but I am trying to get away from that as much as possible and use the built in suite functions.

All of my notifications aren't displaying text anymore after the 4.25 update. Can anyone advise? Below is a screenshot of a notification that just shows the user's avatar, not the text about what the notification is.

I've had the exactly same issue before, however I can not remember what I did to fix this. Right now I'm experiencing the same issue after installing a new forum on a new server. When updating for example It doesn't save. It looks like it saved, but soon as I clear cookies it resets back to original state. Same issue goes to other settings in general configuration such as copyright. PHP 7.0.22 (cli) (built: Aug 25 2017 11:52:01) ( NTS ) Copyright (c) 1997-2017 The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2017 Zend Technologies with the ionCube PHP Loader (enabled) + Intrusion Protection from ioncube24.com (unconfigured) v10.0.…

I just noticed that the # of topics has disappeared in IPS4 (maybe even before that? It's been a while since I've used IPB). How can I get it to show up again?

I would like to set a default URL for image advertisements on one of my forums. I need a pointer where to find that field and possibly an example of how to insert default content for it. I searched in templates for the language string advertisement_url but I can't seem to locate it.

So I finally upgraded my suite to 4.2X from 3.4. I have noticed that images in forum posts went from being full sized to now being thumbnails after the upgrade. Making new posts the images are full sized however so something happened during the process. Is there a way to return all of those images in posts to full size?

Hey guys, I need your help. I am looking for the option where you can allow staff members to be able to see, when content has been edited even it was "silently edited". I've looked in to every option I could imagine, google just brought me to a topic where there has been discussed the availability of this option. Is this option still present? Because I as the administrator (who installed the board) am not able to see silently edited content and I cannot find the option where to enable it.. I've looked into the group permissions and the moderator permissions, any ideas? Thanks in advance, Phil

The BBC News website makes some content embeddable apparently and most have share buttons that produce links like: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/technology-41204660/40-years-since-the-launch-of-the-atari-2600 ... which appears on: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/technology-41204660/40-years-since-the-launch-of-the-atari-2600 Has anyone tried adding BBC video to IPS via AdminCP to have support for embedding BBC video clips in post content? I know it's not a video media sharing site, so perhaps it's not possible. Or even a rich embed for a BBC news article link? Many thanks. PS. The 2600 has been around 40 years? I feel so old!

every other forum software is able to use different-sized avatars? I really want to love IPB, and everything is great, except this one really weird, restrictive feature. It's almost controlling. I heard it was an issue with the skin...? Or something. But I used to use IPB back when any-size avatars were allowed, and it was GREAT! It's so weird how other forum softwares (even FREE software) are able to achieve this, yet IPB cannot. Is this a feature that we will NEVER see again?

Has anyone here merged 2 separate IPS4 forums into a single forum before? You can merge a non IPS forum into an existing forum but no mechanism to put 2 IPS4 forums together. I've asked support and they have confirmed this. Want to know if anyone has done this outside of support?

I've got an issue where my embedding is not fully working within a theme. I'm trying to find any conflicts but if someone knows what to check, templates specifically, it would be helpful and appreciated. Upgraded from 4.1.9 to 4.2.5.

Hi All, I am doing the upgrade now from 4.1.17 to 4.2.5. I like to know what all things I need to do/check immediately after upgrade ? Is there any checklist for this ? Also, one more doubt: In IPB 4.1, I have created a new theme "NEWTHEME" from the Default Theme and made all custom changes to: NEWTHEME So, when the forum upgrades to 4.2.5, any new template changes of IPB 4.2.5 will apply only to the Default Theme ? (or) to my NEWTHEME also ? I mean, all custom changes I did in IPB 4.1.17 to NEWTHEME will remain as it is ? And I need to go to NEWTHEME templates, click a REVERT (so that they get a latest version) and then again appl…

Does anybody know how to change the avatar size? I am testing with a demo right now. There is NO way to change the default avatar size. I want the avatars to be 250x250. When I upload the avatar, it seems to store it at a smaller size, then STRETCH it back out to 250x250. If you look at this picture vs. this picture, you can see the quality of the pictures is different. This is REALLY bugging me and stopping me from purchasing IPB. Please tell me there is a way to fix this. Not everybody wants a tiny avatar.

Hi all, I'm setting up a new IPS forum on IIS 8.5, PHP 7.0.x and MySQL 5.7. As a few other topics in the forum recommended, I create a local user and use it for the application pool identity. Create local user ips_forum Change forum IIS application pool to use ips_forum user Grant read permission on root web folder Grant Full Control NTFS permission on /applications, /datastore, /plugins, and /uploads Restart IIS to make sure the changes take effect When I run System Check in AdminCP, the File System Requirements complain that all the directories above in step 4 need to be writable. However, as I test uploading files to Downloads and…

Is there a way for a cloud cliente such as me, to make it so the system will not auto take account credit for members renewals of membership packages out of the store? I just had for the first time invoices generated for 2 members that had account credit, and their credit was taken automatically without them even being on the site...or have given permission for this to happen....unless they need to do this on their end?
