Hello, I had to move my domain to another hosting and almost everything went well. Almost, because after moving the files and the database to the new location, when I tried to access the forum it gives me this error. Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.', expecting ')' in home/site/public_html/site/forums/system/Theme/SandboxedTemplate.php on line 57 I reuploaded the whole system folder from the backup, but same story. Can anyone gimme some help on this? If it counts, I moved from a virtual machine where I had ftp and ssh access to a CPanel hosting

I am currently using an IPB demo board with the intention of upgrading my older board to the 4 version. I would like to know how to make the "content" area as wide as the top banner/header. I have set the "fluid" width to 100%, 150%, 250% and no change whatsoever. Anyone care to share how this is done? Thanks

Hey all, Any thoughts on why I'd get an Error 500 when changing from 5.6.30 to 7.0.17? I tried to do it, and that's what happened. Okay, on further digging, turns out that 7.0.17 has issues with how mysqli works, and is fixed in 7.0.18

Hi Everyone, I'm struggling. I've been in the admin editor and changed ever possible color once to attempt to change the top text color. I've searched the guides and forums, but I must not know the correct search strings. Is there a place to simply change the font color of the top text? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz9rBCzGyKhYNmM3MkVDdlJoclU/view?usp=drivesdk Thanks in advance,

Hi, Just downloaded and installed the latest version, an upgrade from the old 3.4 - what a difference. I'd like to have the option to view the full version on mobile devices, but cane figure out how to do it. I have made a copy of the original theme and intend to make the necessary changes to this theme for members to be able to use full version if they prefer. How do I do that? Which files to be edited and how?

I'm trying to stop certain twitter accounts being able to be posted on my site. I've tried adding into link filtering https://twitter.com/Xuser/* http://twitter.com/Xuser/* http://mobile.twitter.com/Xuser/* https://mobile.twitter.com/Xuser/* Yet they are still embedded and posted with no issue. I've also tried adding Xuser to the word filter but still no use. Is there anyway around it?

The title is a bit unclear because there are no unnecessary scripts, that's true. But, if I view my community as a guest, Chatbox.js and Buzz.js are loaded as scripts when I don't see why they should be? Chatbox is not available for Guests and as for Buzz, I think that's only needed when the person logs in since it works with notification and the Chatbox itself. I also noticed maps.js is loaded which is confusing. What is that for? Our community doesn't even use Google Maps integration. So is there a way for me to prevent those 3 scripts from loading until they're needed?

Greetings. Today I saw a user logged in, I know he is using multiple accounts So I wanted to know more about him. I clicked on the option "see the full users list" using the admin account on the index page and the Block "who's online" and I could copy the ip. He was logged in with 1 specific IP. Then I logged in the Admin CP and used the option: Members - IP address Tools and pasted the IP in IP Address Lookup. I got 0 results and according to the block, that user had been logged in. Could someone highlight me a little more about this issue ? Thank you

This might be a really stupid question, but I'll have a go anyway; I'm in the middle of upgrading from 3.4 to the current version of IPB and was asked to run a manual query ALTER TABLE ibf_forums_posts DROP INDEX post; I'm running this query now, but it seems to take forever. How long should such a query take to finis? I understand it is depending on the size of the table, but are there any guidelines/indications you can give?
