- Default theme broken after upgrade from 4.4 to 4.7 (latest)

Dear All I have a standalone licence version of 4.2 which I installed on my server. All working well. I now want to upgrade it to the latest beta. Instructions say I can create a constants.php file with the following therein define( 'USE_DEVELOPMENT_BUILDS', TRUE ); I've done that, but the site won't load - all I get is a screen of random characters. Deleting the constants file repairs it. But how do I upgrade the beta without wiping the server and starting again? Many thanks Bill

Hi, in the gallery, when I click on an image to display it individually, the default size of that image is medium. Is it possible to change it to large ?

Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to change the date format in IPB. Currently it's displayed on the forums Month/Day/Year. In my country it is the other way around Day/Month/Year, so using the ipb format is really awkward for my community in relation to events as the dates are displayed incorrectly.. Thanks in advance

I have 4 IPB sites on two different servers, recently any file over 1mb gets all the spaces replaced with underscores. I'm assuming this may be a server setting but I can not seem to narrow it dowwn. Anyone else having this issue? It happens sitewide (forums, downloads). So Sample Filename Demo.mp4 becomes Sample_Filename_Demo.mp4

Hi, i have a community site from 2002 that has always been an IPS community. After so many updates since the first IPS version, some things got odd, such as some inconsistencies. One of them is the number of members. When i run a SELECT COUNT(*) on the members table, i get 31880 members. In the ACP, in the tables lists, it shows: core_members 30028 InnoDB Which one is right? Is there any hidden recount feature so that i can be sure of how many members i have?

Hello, As I said above, when someone want to approve status in moderator queue, it just gives an error: We cannot find page you have requested. Error code: 2C138/5 It happens only to status updates. I'm global Administrator, so I have all permissions and I don't think it's related to them. Board address: https://forum.dopalamy.com

I cannot seem to find a way to get an overall count of the members registered to my forum. There is nothing I can find in the ACP that provides this statistic. Any help will be appreciated.

Hello, Virus (probably bot) changed all of the fonts of my website: https://forum.dopalamy.com - Inspect any element and you will see enctrypted CSS with font called opendyslexic. I have searched any code that may cause this problem, but I couldn't find anything. I just downloaded whole website and scanned it with few keywords via Notepad++ without any results. Any ideas where to search? As you can see, it's long base64 code - when you decode it, it is simple CSS with few base64 inside aswell. Please help me, because I don't know what to do now... I have one of the newer versions of IPB. Kind regards

In Downloads, I had just noticed that files uploaded to a child category does not display in its parent category listing. Shouldn't the parent category display all files submitted to its children? Am I missing a setting?

I have a moderator that does not want to get notified of his PM's since it is redundant when he is always on the site. His settings do show that he has: "Send me news and information" .....unchecked "Method to use for content I follow automatically"......checked for "Do not send me notifications" I went to MEMBERS > MODERATORS > EDIT ....no luck as I don't see any options here. It's probably staring me straight in the face, but I can't seem to find it. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.

In my community I have many complaints about this. To get around the problem I installed the "CSEGoogle" plugin. This solves only part of the problem, I have many fub-forums closed and the Google search does not index them. I've tried out other CMSs from forums and I have an impression that everyone is better. Is there any configuration or option to improve IPS lookups?

Staying logged in appears to be an issue. It's happened to me as well after I tested logging out and back in on my phone. I later found myself logged out on my desktop. Is there a known issue or is it my site?

You probably heard that photobucket has suddenly started charging $400 per year for hot linking images (link). This left many forums crippled as some of them encouraged uploading to photobucket and sharing the image, instead of uploading to the server of the forum. 90%+ on the images on my forum are uploaded directly, but I have not explicitly forbidden hotlinking from external sources, so is there any way I can search through my database to see if there are photobucket linked images there so I can fix them?

So this is a weird one. Nothing has changed in our community and I haven't added any new plugins or apps recently, however when people create a new thread it is putting the title of the thread in the first line of the post content. Any ideas why?

Is there any way to disable email notifications for specific boards on the forum? Looking into mail logs a lot of emails are being rejected from AOL and some other providers as containing 'spam' due to the content of the email based on the section of the forum it's coming from. I don't want to have to shut off all email notifications of threads subscribed to, so I'd like to be able to turn off the option for select boards that are most likely to trigger such a flag.

Trying to remove this annoying 'feature' on table rows with mouse off (Selecting text in a table cell causes the edit form to pop up) when trying selecting text to copy. This happens only within the admin area (Backend) with tables that have an edit button (feature) in each table row. I presume this has something to do with the Table class automatically adding a href to a edit button and is activated by the mouse off. Any idea where I can remove this please? It is a total annoyance for me at the moment. Thanks.
