Hi @all, I notices that there is a problem with Google+ SignIn. If you follow these steps -> everything is fine, but at least you cannot SignIn, because there is a problem with the password. If you are prompted to enter a password ... you will get an error message. But the password for (for example) my google account is right. at the end, nobody can signin ...

Hi, why do spammers get email notifications? Simple question. Even after users have been marked as spammers they get email notifications. This makes no sense. In most cases they use one day email addresses and I get the bounce mail back. Is this a bug or a feature?

Hi! My IP.Downloads stopped working, can upload new files just fine, but when i try to make changes to them, like adding a screenshot by uploading a new version it returns an error and removes the file (leaving me with just the description, no files or screenshots left. WHY does this happen all of a sudden? The error: INSERT INTO `downloads_files_records` ( `record_file_id`, `record_type`, `record_location`, `record_realname`, `record_size`, `record_time` ) VALUES ( 160, 'upload', 'monthly_2017_05/Bear_stl.ca3b9dde0076b358635b4d91593264bc', 'Bear.stl', NULL, 1494187506 ) IPS\Db\Exception: Column 'record_size' cannot be null (1048) #0 /var/www/fssweden_…

I'm in the process of upgrading to V4, and was extensively using IP.Content for my frontpage. I'm doing testing now, and it seems like the frontpage templates available don't include one that I would like, which is a very simple "show the entire article", like I have in my 3.x install. Is there a simple template for this? Thanks.

Greetings, for the past few days i've been having trouble trying to add a "View Bio" button which would open a popup with that persons staff biography. Currently i've got: {{if \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->language()->checkKeyExists( "core_staff_directory_bio_{$user->id}" )}} <br> <div class='ipsType_richText ipsType_normal' data-ipsTruncate data-ipsTruncate-size="4 lines" data-ipsTruncate-type="hide">{lang="core_staff_directory_bio_{$user->id}"}</div> {{endif}} Below is an image of how the message opens.

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.

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.
