Hello We have found the design of the sidebars menu (as shown below) very useful and would like this or a similar thing on our website. Is there a guide for creating this like the IPB release notes guide or can anyone help? Thanks Rob

Hello ! I've just noticed that a member can edit his old posts, even if he is moderated. The member did it himself to post bad words and I was also able, using his account, to edit his old posts too. His account is now banned. How can I prevent members whose account is moderated from editing their old posts ? Thank you.

Can anyone give me any advice please. I have a Guestbook and it is linked to our website and forum there are some 5,000,000 if not more entries World Wide. I however am starting to realise that IPB Board is moving more and more to PHP 7 now my prediciment is this the guestbook will not work with PHP 7, and the writer of the software who did it for me has stopped working, and I can no longer contact him, I paid for the guestbook outright so the copyright is mine. Is it simple to get it to work with version 7 PHP if not do you know of anyone who could fix it for me. I really cannot afford to lose it under any circumstances, it really is a must have. …

Okay, so here's my problem... A few years back, two members on my community began exchanging messages. Nearly 500 pages of messages and quite a few years later and they have literally traveled across the world (Australia to the US), met up, developed a relationship, they became engaged and are planning marriage. They still converse through the original conversation on my site, though. Yesterday, the woman accidentally deleted the 500 page message while trying to delete something else and the guy isn't able to add her back into it. Neither am I. Any ideas how I can restore her to the message? I thought I might be able to go into the database via phpMyAdmin and find her mem…

Hi, I think i've started to chase ghosts with this now, but after several hours of debugging my own code and curls, i cannot find any errors with it myself. If i for example update "core/members/13" (I am member 13), i only get "NULL" as the content, regardless of what i write. Request is attached as "request.txt" (parsed request) and response as "response.txt" If i set any value in the "About" field on my profile, i can get it, but when I POST the query it is NULL. Can you guys please help me to find what issue I am having with this? You will probably say "do this" and i will feel stupid Thankful for your answer! Regar…

Hi - I'm sorry if this has been covered, I did search, but couldn't find anything. Invision support have kindly done our upgrades for me over the past few times.. I've had problems with ftp in the past, and lost confidence in doing it myself. However, they have said that now we have version 4, upgrading is simpler. I'm running 4.1.19.1 and we now have the notification to upgrade to 4.1.19.3. Can I confirm how this now works, is it done more automatically from within the AdminCP, or will I need to use ftp? Many thanks.

Both here and in my forum these activities are empty. https://invisionpower.com/profile/531844-dsystem/reputation/ I believe that this link would be to visualize the reputations that I sent and received. Do I have to activate or configure it somewhere?

I just recently setup SFTP file storage. The upload works fine, however, when someone goes to download a file, we get a COULD_NOT_DOWNLOAD exception thrown. Why does IPS4 proxy downloads stored remotely? Shouldn't it just use the URL I set when configuring the remote file storage? :\

So now that Chat app is dead how do we completely remove it? I went ahead and went in my ACP and under application I went ahead and uninstalled it. It will still show under applications not currently installed. Does IPB plan on cleaning it up and on the next update having it removed completely and the files associated with it? Just wondering how you guys are going to handle it?

Anyone ever run into a problem where the Admin can make a post or reply and it's instant, when a member does it will just hang at saving and eventually timeout. This is even with all the default theme and all customization disabled. Any ideas? Just started out of the blue.

I have a problem where Activity Stream is not showing "everything". My Activity Stream (I do most of my browsing through my Activity Stream) does not show any of the Admin posts - I haven't investigated to know if it effects other sub-forums. But it is important to me that these come up so I can keep on top of Admin posts for obvious reasons. Currently the only way I know if there has been any posts in the admin section is if I go to the front page and scroll down to the Admin Sub-forum.. Everything has been selected so nothing should be filtered out. . I've taken snip shots of them. This is my an admin panel view with an unread post in it from 5 mi…

When I use the side panel to add a live stream panel to my site, I want it to autoplay, but to be silent. All HTML based code for an iframe and the stream code to disable autoplay or audio don't seem to work. After weeks of searching, I've been told I may need to add custom CSS to support disabling of audio. I'm not sure if this is something I can ask for here, but I thought I would try. Is there a snippet of CSS I can add to custom.css to allow for disabled audio on embedded streams? I'm trying to do this for Beam.pro - the basic code is // <iframe src="https://beam.pro/embed/player/661570"></iframe> // Very simple. But I'm not sure w…
