All our code blocks in the forum now just show the written tags around plain text. Is there a way to restore these so they appear correctly?

So... Let's say I made 3 different websites, all running IPS software. Now each was for a specific niche, however I would use IPS Connect to sync logins (and somewhat prominently advertise the other websites on each). Is there any way I could sync content between websites as well? Just as an example- Let's say one was dedicated to sports and one to cooking. Beyond the forums specific to that website, I would have a 'global category' that synced across each website. Like... An example: - Sports Forum Category: -- Football -- Baseball -- etc - Off Topic Category: -- Politics -- Entertainment -- etc So I'd want the sports forum category to only …

Dear All I have two licensed copies of the software. One is in cloud and one is a standalone version, which, although licensed, I haven't used for some time. On Friday, I reset the URL for the standalone version, downloaded and unpacked the beta version of the software, uploaded it and ran the install. The server checks are successful, but when I click continue to go to the next step (license check) I get an error:- This page isn’t working www.atfotf-forum.co.uk is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500 Now today, my CiC Version is showing a message at the top of the forum:- There is a problem with your license key.…

So am dumbfounded by this one. Not sure if this is an IPB quirk or a permissions issue somewhere. A user recently messaged me asking why they could not get notifications for a topic they follow in a password protected forum. When I go into it, in the quick reply button you do have the "notify me of replies" enabled.... yet, nowhere in the topic post or forum category/topic listings does it actually have the "follow content" button anywhere.

I have created a relationship between two of my DBs. That part is interesting and working very well after I have explored some options. I am however experiencing one issue that I hope someone can help with. When I display the DB record in a Regional DB I am using this relationship link to display a list of books from a library DB. In some regions I will have multiple library items. Currently the "MULTIPLE" book are just displaying as a run-on comma delimited block, i.e. book1, book2, book i have a very long name and this makes the display very confusing, book9, novel4, novel2. What I would really like to do is to display these books one line per book so …

Hi all, as usual, when my poor and old skills aren't enough, I come here hoping to find a nice suggestion/idea that can help me. Situation-target: Make a nice check box (or select) with more options to "flag", trough an image, some specific users.

I'm hoping to go live with my site tomorrow and I've just noticed a pretty big problem: people won't be able to log in. The root of my site is a Pages page, just like IPS has here. It has a customWrapper rather than the default template because, like with IPS's front page, I want to have coloured sections spanning side to side. My customWrapper is identical to the globalTemplate, except that I have removed the div ipsLayout_mainArea. That's the container within which everything else on the page sits. Otherwise, there's no difference; I copied and pasted globalTemplate into customWrapper and made that small amendment. I don't think this has been a problem un…

Just updated to 4.1.19.3 yesterday. One of my users was having issues posting in a forum so I thought it would help. Didn't. In fact, I'm getting a 403 error (others are seeing the same issue, others are not): Forbidden You don't have permission to access /forums/index.php on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Ideas?

I have the following scenario: Hosting two v4.1.19.4 boards on the same VM (I additionally control the host): Board 1: 2,119,338 posts, 22,029 members, but average online members would only be 50-100. Converted from vBulletin ~2 years ago. Running Nexus/Commerce. Board 2: 186,565 posts, 254 members, average online members 10. Converted from phpBB2 ~3-4 years ago. Not running Nexus/Commerce. On Board 1, post replies to threads are slow. Can take several seconds to "submit" - eg: Everything else is instant, or close enough too it. Creating a new topic: Replying to that topic (causing a merge): On Board 2, everything is instant in…
