I run a gaming forum and I want to load a dropdown-list, kind of thing. For example when you click the Emoticons button, I'm looking for something similar to that such as "Raid bosses", with the dropdown in the top right corner switching between different groupings and the search box. What would be the "best" way to do this? Do I need a custom plugin or something, or is it totally doable from creating a custom button? Not sure where to start. The end goal is it'll put something like <span data-raid-boss="124171"></span> onto the final post, and I have separately loading JS that ingests [data-raid-boss] and injects a tooltip + template onto the page l…

Hello, I am currently going to migrate my forum (2.5 millions messages) to IPS, and I am looking for some answers. I have installed a test version of the forum, let's say on test.website.net. I have a lot of work to do, since I want to integrate the whole website including custom php pages into the IPS structure, plus the conversion of the Vbulletin3. And so come the questions: - Can I make my test version proper, then moving it to www.website.net or any other folder, and update the test key to the production key ? I know I an have both, but using both would mean reinstall again the Suite and redo the entire huge conversion plus all modifications (and I in…

I've been setting my site up in a folder at http://mydomain.com/test. Now I'd like to take it live and move it to http://mydomain.com. Is there anything I need to do besides changing the configuration file to make sure everything clicks into place?

I've noticed that after a certain recent upgrade of my IPS (current version is 4.1.7) it takes a huge amount of time to load a profile page of any user, including mine. Is it me? Or somebody's having the same problem?

I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to educate me. On my board, I see an error/bug when I use Group Collaboration with one of Ehren's themes (plenty of code-authors on my board; not pointing fingers here). I've looked at it with chrome's examine tool and found out that it is a result of an empty or unfinished class call. It just says <class> Rather than <class="yada yada"> Here it is, if it provides any additional information: I know how to target classes and ids with custom CSS, but I have no clue how I use the examine tool to give me a pointer, as to which template I should be adding the class' content to. If it…

I received a notification saying I needed to do an upgrade to fix a security issue... so in admin I went to run the upgrade, only to be told my system was up to date. I go to applications and check for updates and... nothing. I come here and it says 4.2.4 is released. What's going on?

Hi, In our community, when I try to select any sub-forums in drop-down menus, they aren't listed; the system keeps showing "processing". In the screenshot below I show what happens, in this example I am showing the advanced search page, but this happens anywhere where a forum selection drop-down menu exists, including (and especially) in the ACP. @newbie LAC I understand that you are experiencing the same problem?

I'm not sure if this is a bug or that's how it will be from now on. When promoting something on 4.2.3, it would include the topic's content also for Facebook & Community option. That is no longer the case on 4.2.4. Is this intended or a bug? I believe this is also a reason why an intensive changelog is useful with each version.

Hello, Can someone please make a BAD BOT plugin to stop spam / bad bots from slowing down sites? I have like 200 blocked -- but I'm tired of keeping going through my logs to find more bots. Can someone just create one that automatically updates its bot lists for everyone? Wordpress has such a nice little bad bot plugin -- stops like 2500 bots. https://wordpress.org/plugins/stopbadbots/ Can someone please do this? Literally, bots can create such havoc on server resources! Thanks, BB

Hi, As far as I can remember (and please correct me if I am wrong), in the 3.4.x series when a user was banned, a phrase "Banned User" was shown in the user mini profile next to his posts. In the 4.2.x series when a user is banned, no public information is shown. Is there a out-of-the-box way to display a text or badge showing that the user was banned. This is useful because as other users don't know a particular user is banned, they keep replying to questions posted by a banned user (who won't come back to read or comment on them). Thank you in advance.
