As the title says, is there a way to view how much quota a user is currently using? I have a user that says he can't upload files anymore. I assume he is over quota but I have no visual or other indication to confirm this. Thanks in advance

I think this was after installing an application, see below: Now all my text fields in the admin cp and some areas of the site are now invisible, and only the file upload box remains. At least that's what it looks like. On both the default theme and my own themes. As you can see in the screenshot below, the "About this file" text field has turned into a file upload area. This happens on both the default theme and my custom theme. Aside from reinstalling IP.Board, does anyone have any suggestions on where I can revert/fix this bug? Thanks so much PS: I have all my plugins disabled.

I seem to be missing something here, or there is a big missing feature. When uploading a file, you can chose what category it belongs in. However, what if a download belongs in two categories? Do I still have to upload and maintain two instances of the same files just because you can't seem to add the same file to multiple categories? I really hope i'm overlooking something here. Thanks

Is anyone using BS3 with the default IPS4 theme? When I try, it seems like certain values (line-height, for instance) create some *minor* visual glitches, but I'm not sure what the best method would be for comparing & verifying nothing's actually broken, given the number of pages & interface elements in IPS...

Your userbar at the top right stays fixed and follows the scrolling of your page, so you always have an eye on your notifications! To do this, add this in your custom.css: #elUserNav { position: fixed; z-index: 10; }

Hi, If a moderator split a topic, it has to choose a new title for the new created topic. After that, it seems to be not possible to edit the title of this new topic. Is it a bug, a missing feature, or a hidden feature ? Thank you!

I got a widget that shows post count and other statistics, and cannot find out where to add it to the forum. I swear I added some default widgets to my forum the other day and now cannot find the menu at all. I'm running the latest version of IPB. Thank you

As you know, the IP.Downloads module supports uploading files from your computer. However, in some cases I need to link to a file on a server instead, for bandwidth reasons. Is this possible via an extension/plugin? I looked on the marketplace, but didn't find what I was looking for. Some example use cases would be: Linking to a file on Amazon S3, but allowing the user to go through the normal download flow (require login etc) Linking to file on another server, and the same as above. Thank you

So, I'm actually considering about re-branding my community and changing the domain name. I have never done this before, so I'm absolutely clueless in regards to what I have to do. Other than moving the full backup to a new server and changing the name servers, what files have to be edited for everything to work fine?

Is there a setting somewhere in IPS where I can pick which groups have unarchive permissions? I'd like to allow my mods to do it, but I don't see any configurable permissions.

Hi All, I switched to HTTPS for everything last week. Since then I have found that the default theme keeps loading a single resource over HTTP. This image; http://www.sau.com.au/forums/uploads/set_resources_1/d0e70b4cbb9ab8afb1bc1065a3f8487a_subitem_stem.png In the css file; data-lists.css background-image: url( "{resource="subitem_stem.png" app="core" location="front"}" ); Nothing I do will load that securely. Any ideas why this might be? Everything else loads using HTTPS without issue. Thanks, Christian

Does anyone know if in 4.1 there is a way or a plugin available that will allow you to show only the first post to guests and the additional would be hidden. I have been using Wolfie's mod for version 3, and have not upgraded the site yet to version 4 that I'm using it on.

I have a Premium Membership set up to renew annually. Everyone who is getting the renewal notice is having trouble. I have used the same PayPal account for over 10 years, nothing there has changed. I have not made any changes to the membership since I set it up last year. Did I set something up wrong? Here is a reply from one member: Yesterday I received an email renewal notice for the premium membership but the paypal wouldn't go though. If I try to do it though the forum store instead of the email, I get a notice that I'm already a member and can't do it twice. Paypal says nothing went though. Is this something on my end or the site's?

Hi Guys - After converting from vB 4 to IPS 4 the number of records appears to be incorrect when displayed in AdminCP > Databases. See image. The number should be 607. 697 is how many are displayed when I click manage records. To increase the number of records displayed here, I can go into an article / record, make an edit and save the changes. This updates the number to include all records in a specific category. Is there a way to do this without manually editing one article in each category?

Hi Guys - Is there any way to update the number of comments displayed below an article? The only way I've discovered is to add an additional comment, then the number is updated from zero. See image below. The top two articles display the number of comments because I added a test comment below the existing comments. The bottom two article show zero comments, even though there are plenty of comments listed when I click on the comments.

Hi Guys - I converted test database from vB 4 into IPS 4. I have a problem with the database created as part of the conversion. I can't add new records through the main page using the Add New Article button. When I click this button, I see the following screen. There's no place to enter a title and body of the text. I created a new database and put it inside the same page, it worked fine. I also created a new page and put the imported database inside, and still have the issue. Thus, it seems the issue is with the database. If I go into AdminCP and view the database records, I can use the Add New Record button. Anyone have any ideas?
