In the admincp, the "permanently delete content" option says: "Deleted content can be viewed and restored in the ModeratorCP until it is permanently deleted. Does not apply to content deleted through the AdminCP." Where are they supposed to be in the ModeratorCP? I don't see them.

Please please does anyone have any idea what this is? I have been trying to get an answer from several locations including priority support. In the meantime my freshly converted vbulletin to IPS 4.2 forum has gone from 800 members logging in daily to 250. This page is being displayed directly after logging in. If you navigate from here you will find you are logged in anyway, trouble is a lot of users don't realise this and just click off the page and give up.

With the default theme; when I hover my cursor over a menu tab in Firefox or Edge, the tab changes. It doesn't in Chrome (giving me quite the headache with my theme). You can try it out on my site landing-page, if you enable the default theme in the bottom. Here you can see the issue; in both instances I've clicked the first tab and am hovering my mouse cursor over the tab ringed in red. Chrome - the tab just highlights: Firefox (and Edge) - the tab shifts: It's close to a non-issue in the default theme, but results in users having to click twice when using the non-default theme, every time they use a different menu.tab. However, …

Seeing signatures in my forum. I leave the option "Allow users to purchase more than one?" Disabled. Because it does not make sense for the user to buy more than one. After the subscription ends, some users take more than 30 days to renew. So they can not renew the subscription because the invoice has already been canceled and they can not buy the product again because the user can not buy more than one. Can I turn off invoice cancellations after 30 days?

My family is big and getting bigger, and I'm well beyond the point of being able to remember people's birthdays. That's not a problem with in-laws etc, but it won't go down very well with my niblings if the man masquerading as their favourite uncle forgets their birthday. No problem: I've just created a calendar called Birthdays, set the events to recur yearly, and will have a widget of upcoming events from that calendar. Phew. The next problem is that I don't necessarily know how old they are unless I do the maths. And considering I got my own brother a card with the wrong age on it once, there's scope for problems. (Not really my fault: He and I share a birthd…

Hi All, I opened a ticket with support but they were unable to provide any support regarding the issue, so I'll try here as I have had success here in the past. We have a group of user sin the community registering multiple accounts and spamming posts with thousands of characters, usually arabic (have since blocked arabic chars) or some form of graphical based text. What this usually does it create massive load times to open up those topics and delete the resulting spam. The server also throws bytes exhausted errors when this kind of thing occurs. What I have been looking for is a way to limit the amount of characters or even limit the size of a post, but such a…
