Hello ! I don't know why, after upgrading to version 4.2, there are a few topics where my board's members posts must now be approved by moderators... while they can post elsewhere without restrictions. Is this a new option or a bug ? If it's an option, where can I find it ? (I searched and didn't find...) Thank you !

The stream starts from the beginning of the month. Is there anyway to stream actual upcoming events in the stream?? Today is August 8th, and when you go to stream, you have to scroll down to get today's events.

I'm not sure if this is possible or not, but I would like to set different blocks to be displayed for different forums. E.g. News forum might show a poll, whereas a different forum might show something else. Is this possible?

Is there an easy way to turn the IP address listed against the member or guest in the online user list into a link so that it checks it in the mod cp IP address tool. Would save copying and pasting here and there. Thanks

I miss a setting for showing Random images in the gallery frontpage. In 3.4 there was a hook that fixed this issue. Anyone know if this is possible?

Are GIFs embedding for anyone else in this release? Youtube seems to embed fine, but external gifs do not. Testing here... Hmmmm... works here fine. Not in my community.

If I translate something like this: {!# [1:tutorial][?:tutorials]} is that going to mess something up? I want to change "tutorial" and "tutorials" to something else. But this looks like it is some kind of shortcode that would be called up.

That says I should have a section in the ModCP called "Deleted Content". My modcp shows no such thing. I've properly (I believe) set my setting to 18 days here: So what else is there to set/change? Why isn't the thing showing up in my ModCP? I just deleted some posts, and I'm not sure where they are. They're still in the database, with a "-2" value in the "queued" column.

I really like how you can vote up and down questions using the questions layout of forums. I am looking for something similar to that but instead of questions, it would be one for Ideas and Requests. Where a member can post an idea/request and other members can comment on it and vote up and down that idea. How do I get that accomplished? Right now I am just using the questions forum but the wording is very confusing to users because these are not questions they are asking, they are recommendations.

Hello ! I decided to create a mirror board for tests (upgrade, modification,..) : - I created a new account on my server using WHM and I used ssh to scp all the files from my account to the mirror/test account. - As for the database, I used mysqldump and mysql, under ssh too. The problem is I forgot to worry about permissions and I ended up with nearly all files in the new account's directory belonging to root. I used chown command to change this... I also edited configuration in the ACP (cron, datastorage) and other files (.htaccess, global-conf.php) and uploaded a new constants.php to the server. Then I decided to clear the cache because a …

Hello, I'm try to update from 4.2 version to 4.2.1 using interactive procedure step by step. At step 4 I have the follow message: Manual action required There was an error downloading the files to your server. Please download the update and upload the files to your server, or contact us for assistance. Now, I downloaded update manually and uploaded to web server (inside ips_fb6b6 there are two folders 'applications' and 'system'). Is that the correct procedure? because IPS don't releave the new version and always says there are 4.2.1 update available to do. Thank You

Hey all, Is there any way to add more services to the upload menu (see attachment)? Such as Google Photos? We've found a possible workaround to the 200 error when uploading from mobile. On iOS, if you enable Dropbox as a storage device, you can upload from there & it works (in limited testing) with files that fail otherwise. It would be nice if we could add more services, such as Google Photos (since it's so popular). So far I can't find any reference to that menu in the ACP anywhere. Is it customizable at all?

Hello Community, So I'm back at it with IPS 4.2 and I've pulled my old 4.1 board page out of the dust. I created a "Featured" section at the top of my homepage with a custom template. As you can see in my image, the picture is distorted. I believe this is because it is using the _record_image_thumb as part of the image url. So, it's basically stretching a thumbnail image causing the distortion. I"m wondering if one of you guru's can help me figure out how to change my code to call for a larger version of the image so it doesn't create that distortion? Thanks for your help and expertise in advance.

We need to export a thread from my restored forum from an earlier back up and import it into our live forum. (same users, same setup etc) Basically a guy deleted his thread by accident on the 27th, we didn't notice until the 2nd. Its a thread with 2000+ pages and 7 years old. I didn't want to lose many days of content just for his thread, as we would have lost 7000 posts. So i have got a backup from the 26th up and running, so he can access it, but i would like to export it out and import it into the current forum. I am pretty sure they are happy to pay to get the script written, but from my research its a near impossible task Sadly i updated the forum …

Is there anyway I can turn off messenger? and is there a way I can delete all private messages sent and received? I have looked everywhere I can see that you can do it individually, but not the whole forum.
