Dear All HELP! We have our registration set up for Admin validation. Validating members have never been able to post. A new member on our forum has just posted in a forum he shouldn't even be able to access! He is still shown on the ACP as "This member must be manually approved". How has this happened and how do I stop it? Many thanks Bill

We accidentally hid the posts of the wrong user. When you view a profile it shows you 25 posts at a time. Is there a way to increase this number to 100+ at a time so that we can just select all and unhide?

Hello, I updated my theme recently and need to change the color of the category header background from the whitish-gray to something darker, as seen in the screenshot provided. There is also now a new bar containing a 'start new topic' button right below the chatbox that I would like to removed in its entirety. How would I go about these tasks? Thank you very much!

Hello, I'm having trouble with my 4.2.1 IPB and support are taking their sweet time to answer my ticket (not sure if they are just asleep and don't do 24/7 service). The problem happened when I tried to install Name 2 Avatar. I got an error that said "You are not allowed to do this" with the following system log: IPS\Db\Exception: Table 'joestome_ipb.downloads_files' doesn't exist (1146) #0 /home/joestome/public_html/system/Db/Db.php(1894): IPS\_Db->query('ALTER TABLE `do...') #1 /home/joestome/public_html/system/Application/Application.php(3953): IPS\_Db->dropColumn('downloads_files', 'file_n2a_photo_...') #2 /home/joestome/public_html/applications/core/m…

4.2 Commerce Subscription Major Marketing Feature Missing If you're using commerce for subscriptions, a major marketing opportunity is missing should someone decide NOT to renew. Currently, the only option that you have is move expired members back to their original group or not. There should be an option to move expired members to a group of your choosing. In this fashion, people who chose NOT to renew would be placed into a "former" subscriber group, thus you can reach out to them in the future with special offers, etc. With the current setup, once someone expires and they go back to their original group, you simply loose track that they were once a pay…

Now that the IPS Chat module has been gone for a while, does anyone have a recommendation for a stand alone replacement product that they like? I'd also be interested in those that are not recommended. I've read the threads here regarding the topic, but I don't see much in the way of reviews after use.

TIA!
