I'd really like to take a specific div container from another website and embed it into the html of a post in IPS. I am aware this can't be done using html alone, or an iframe. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with how to use jQuery or Ajax to do this. I do have the ability to post html, thanks to Nathan Explosion. Specifically I'd get to take the Main Rankings container from this site and drop it into a post. Does anyone know how to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hello people, I recently purchased an IPB license, but I did not purchase the IP.Pages (or content whatever you want to call it) app yet. I am quite sure if it is required or if there are any alternatives? I would mainly use it for adding some kind of an in-game server monitor, and to display a list of staff members. I hope you can give me some advice, thanks in advance, Didier

There are lots of good ones. But I inherited this derelict board and there is like 30K spam posts. These are comments on articles. Perhaps I can create a support ticket that just says... kill all? A lot of them are Guest posts, so I don't think they can be pruned with the spam tools the same way you would a registered user. Any thoughts? Any retroactive spam tools? JM

Hi there, We've upgraded just recently from 3.x to 4, and we seem to have lost our restrictions on Guests viewing member profiles. Has anyone else encountered this, and knows how to solve it? It is critical for our site and I have a hard time believing this feature was not migrated to 4.0. Best, AVENista

Okay so I am new to these types of forums and am trying to get used to some of the features. I am noticing on my site, theres different drop down menus for Forums, Calendar, Online Users, Profile, Admin CP, Mod CP, etc. Is there any way for me to get rid of the drop downs and just have these things display across the top of the forums? Also if so how would I be able to decide which to display and which to completely hide or get rid of?
