After upgrading to 4.1.19.4 from 3.4.x, all the images are downsized to thumbnails to the members frustration. I have looked everywhere, but can't find any settings to control the size of the images besides maximum size. I really like to get the pictures back to the original size.

On the old 3.x I believe there used to be a member list that showed people who had been logged in within the last 24 hours (or within the actual day, I can't remember right now), in addition to people who were logged in at that time. I've used the "Members" block to show ~100 people based on their last visit and (without needing to be currently online) and that is giving a rough approximation of people who have been on the site in the last 24 hours or so. Is there a way to get a block that shows exactly who has been online that day, or within the last 24 hours?

I tried to enable SSL by going to System > Settings > Login Handlers > Login Settings. The switch to enable SSL is grayed out and i am unable to press it, however when i hover over a certain portion of text it tells me that the subject name does not match the target host name. I assume the problem is because i have a custom domain (forums.domain.com), but i have no idea how to fix this. My second issue i encountered while trying to install a plugin, the Sign in through Steam plugin. I downloaded the plugin, unzipped the file, and installed the .xml file in the plugin section of admincp. The issue i am having is uploading the contents of zip file…

Mugenfreeforall.com has been dealing with this bug for quite a long time at this point. This thing has resisted the efforts of IPS tech support, Bluehosts tech support, our on-staff coder and myself. Basically what happens is the search index table randomly corrupts after about a week, and the search index needs to be rebuilt. • The symptoms are: Status updates will post twice, or more. New forum posts will post anywhere between 2 and 10 times / copies of themselves in a row. Error 144 on view member profiles. Some posts inaccessible. Central error returned: Search index table is marked as crashed. • What worked before: After the first few months of dealin…

Evening guys. On my old vbulleitn board in the forum settings there was an option to not display a forum, but it could still be visited if the location was known. Does such a setting exist on IPS as I can't find it? Thanks

Good afternoon, Just wondering if it is possible to restrict access to guests, so they cannot view a members profile, or see status updates within the "All Activity" stream. We would lock guest access down completely, but it prevents them from viewing content within pages. Any suggestions? Regards, ClubCuddly.
