Why doesn't the feed block match the record listing? Visually speaking. One is a sensible thumbnail & teaser, the other makes the site look like an excel table. I was hoping this changed, but I can't see that it has. Is there some way to do this?

Hey guys and gals, I'm running a 3.4.9 instance (I know, OOS in April) and came across an issue today where the site's skin creator's website appears to be either hacked or they updated their security and it's resulting in prompting for Windows login credentials to access the site. Their skin included a JS that embedded their logo and website address for credit, and as a result began to show this Windows login credential popup on my site when attempting to load said image. I removed the offending code, and notified my users to update their Windows passwords if they accidentally entered it on the site. I do not have a sense of how long this issue existed, nor th…

Is it normal to have 90 pages of the same error message over the past 30 days? I assume this indicates something is wrong, but what?

I am installing the IPS. When it finishes it seems that some CSS is missing and everything is messed up as you can see in the images. I've uploaded several files and checked the files and I do not think what's missing.

Hey, Is it possible to make a profile field unique so that 2 users may not have the same content entered? Need a way to implement this to an existing field, willing to pay for a quick plugin if necessary.

Hi. I noticed that this forum was for help for 3. something and below but I couldn't find the one for 4. something anywhere so I'm hoping I can maybe get some help here anyway.. Can anyone tell me is there a way to mass prune potential spammers who are asking to become members of my forum? In my last version I could click on a tab that ticked all the potentials on the page and then just unclick the ones who were ok and delete all the rest as a batch. In this version I have to do each one separately and this is taking an absolute AGE! My forum is running on 4.1.14.3 Thanks for your time..

This may be a silly question to most of you, but I'm running a IPS forum website and have used the WYSIWG builder for the main webpage banner logo, along with the 3 column layout template. It looks great and everything lines up when the browser window is shrunk down a little. But when the window is expanded, the 3 column become wider than the top graphic which only stretches to a point. Then it looks terrible. How do I make the top graphic stretch to match the 3 column when the window is expanded? Appreciate any help you can give. Thanks.

Hello all, I am currently running IPS 4.1.13.2 and wish to upgrade to the latest 4.1.18.2... I am wondering what would be the best way to go about this, seeing that there has been about 9 updates that I am missing in order to bring it up to 4.1.18.2!! Should I revert EVERYTHING back to stock, such as templates, custom edits, etc? So that I make sure everything gets updated and I would basically start with a fresh installation to which I can manually re-do all template edits, or is there a different way to go about this? Thanks in advance!

So I got my app done via facebook and my account synced in to be able to use the facebook profile picture and that worked fine. When I try to synced in my wife account I get this error: App Not Setup: This app is still in development mode, and you don't have access to it. Switch to a registered test user or ask an app admin for permissions. is there like a few days wait before the app works for everyone?

I would our admins to be able to view the changes by our moderators only, and not have our members edits in the moderator logs. It gets a bit confusing and I start doubting who we made moderators or not on our forums due to this. Is there anyway to sort actual moderator changes from members who edit there posts? i.e: Have a separate list for normal member edits and one for actual moderators?

I was purchasing the $200 version of IPB and it told me I needed to wait a little while to get it approved. Within that time I realized I needed to pay for other things, so I went back to the pending order and cancelled it. The next day, $200 was still taken out of my paypal and I haven't heard from IPB since (this was 2 days ago). Is there any hope of a refund ASAP? I did not even touch the license or anything I have purchased yet. I need to wait a few weeks before I can afford IPB again.

Hoping someone can help me edit the globalTemplate to show a different header on the homepage than every other page. I have a large image on the home page, but don't want to burden the members with having to look at it on every other page. I was thinking a conditional if statement like: if homepage, then HTML for header, else minimal header with just a logo

I've bought a translation-pack for my language, but not all Apps have been translated, so I thought I'd start fixing that. However, when I try to translate a "browse" key in "System" and save it, it reverts as soon as I reload the tab I'm working in and if I do not reload the tab and it says "saved", it still doesn't update on my forum. Has anyone run into a similar issue? Any known fix or advice?
