Hello everyone, my Hosting company says that my board is sending Spam from this Script system/Email/Outgoing/Php.php They also gave me a link to one of my pages which makes no sense to me. Any idea what could cause this and how to prevent this? Thanks

Trying to choose a caching method but it will not let me select any of them. I'm trying to use memcached but no luck. (Yes, it's installed.) ^-- Everything looks normal but the radials are not clickable.

I have a user on my forums when logged in using the forums if he navigates the site back to the index using the logo in the top left or by pressing browse he gets automatically logged out. I'm able to reproduce it myself on firefox too. Has anyone else experienced this?

If a member is allowed to "Hide own content" should that also allow them to hide a whole thread they started when others have posted replies? I've just experienced that and I think it is very worrying that members could hide/delete others posts when they aren't Mod/Admin accounts.

I've noticed that if I go on to a thread that has twitter/instagram embeds with videos in them, the embed size seems to be larger than it needs to be & then it slowly decreases in size, this causes the page to keep scrolling up which is very annoying when you're trying to read a comment & it keeps moving! I seem to get it most often when trying to read threads on a mobile device (iPhone/Safari). Happens on the standard theme as well as my custom theme.

Hi guys, after few weeks of trying to fix our server crashes etc. we came to a conclusion that we simply need to change host. So, can someone please tell us what would be best host solution for IPS 4? We have around 40000 members and growing every day, but not all members are active so that number is lower in the end. Any help here would be much appreciated, thank you! Regards, Igor

Running 3.4. Want to finally upgrade to 4. My server is running ubuntu 12.04LTS. I am using default repos, so my versions of apache and php are quite dated (albeit continue to receive security updates backported under the lts program). What is the best strategy to go from 12.04LTS (php 5.3, apache 2.2) to 16.04LTS (php 7, apache 2.4)? My plan was to spin up a new VPS with a fresh ubuntu install, get it set up properly with current updates, and then copy over my web files and database and run the converter. However, I understood from a few other threads here that perhaps it wouldnt be the smartest decision to run conversion of 3.4 under php7. How did other …

Hello, I just installed v4.1.17.1, but cannot figure out how to display the sidebar in the forums. It's already enabled by default, but I don't see any settings in the ACP. Is this a known issue, or am I just overlooking an obvious setting somewhere? Thanks! Edit: Found it. For anyone else wanting to know how to control the sidebar, go to ACP --> Pages --> Pages (Page Management) --> click on "Open page builder" icon

Hi Guys, My IPS based site was recently hacked and they've made a nice mess for us to clean up by injecting .php files and editing existing .php files. By default, the datastore folder is empty in the IPS suite, so Im assuming all the php files in our install were generated over time by our community. Some of these appear to be injected but we're having a hard time picking out the needles from the actual hay. Can anyone tell me what these php files in datastore are for? For example there's one called administrators.2d044d0767.php or this one template_1_3db53200833e95cf9ba7ee49cd491e3c_trees.2d044d0767.php Are these normal? Is this data we should not keep? I could do …

I am very new to HTML and Website/Forum Design. Is there a picture which list the names of each element on the basic forum. Also, I don't have a store and would like to delete/hide the Browse/Activity/Store/Support "master" tabs and just leave the tabs under the Browse category. Thanks for any help.

I'm a little out of the loop but I've heard that an SSL Certificate is recommended for security but also search results, can anyone give me more information on the benefits, particularly paired with an IPB powered site? Thanks in advance.

The Forums option doesn't show in the Menu Manager in AdminCP (and, yes, it is published) but it's showing on the website front-end. This means I'm unable to change its position in the menu. I tried AdminCP > Support > Something isn't working correctly to make the cache clear but that didn't help. Any ideas?

For a database Listing template, how would I display the anonymous aggregated star rating for a record — not the review rating as is displayed by default. I would like to turn off reviews for the database, allow record rating, and display or sort by star-rated records. In this use case it's fine that the ratings are anonymous. Similar to image rating.

Would anyone happen to know the code to change the User's profile name font size to be smaller? I found the code on the forum before, but I had to reinstall a new theme and lost the code and for the life of me, I can't seem to find it. The forum display name is way too big and I would like to reduce the font size of it. Could anyone please help me out?

Running the latest version, no plugins, default theme with minor css changes and ad code added in. I've also ran a pure default theme myself and still have the same problem. I have also tried removing theme resources from the CDN. Basically on iOS both iPad and iPhone the editor is retaining posts after they have been made with the content has been restored message, it's random but fairly frequent. Other times pressing submit does nothing, when this happens you also can't upload an image. I did contact support but they can't do much with it being random, I need to be able to replicate it which is understandable. Is anyone else having the same issues?

Hello, since the migration from 3.4.x to 4.x I am still facing a problem with a good integration of the pages. I would love to see a menu on the left side with all the content pages, while actually the content should be displayed on the right. Please have a look here: http://www.deutsche-in-london.net/forum/index.html/. How do I build a site structure menu? Thanks
