My forum started 5 years ago and lay dormant for 3 years. I have just got it going again. I have a member who has posted at the start and has posted in the last 4 months under the same name. Is is possible to change the author of the old posts to a different name and keep the posts in the last 4 months as his only posts? Thank you

Is there any way I can download all the content in one go rather than have to copy and extract every story on the site ? We want to move our news section to another platform.

Hope someone can help me here, I created a store for T-Shirts. I also created custom fields (Radio buttons) for the different sizes and pocket or no pocket. I entered one tshirt as a product in the store, with a choice for various sizes, and a control to show inventory as each shirt is purchased. The problem exists at the invoice stage, a customer has purchased a shirt, but the only information I have is that they purchased a shirt, it does not state if the customer chose pocket or what size. Here is a screenshot of the product page. Here is a partial screenshot of the invoice without personal information As you can see, all I have is the custom…

In IPB 3 I had installed a hook that allowed me to schedule the time a topic became visibile. This way, my assistant created a draft, I checked it and it was hidden. We set a "visible date" and forgot about it. It went live when we scheduled. In IPB 4 I can't see a similar plugin. Is there a feature or plugin to achieve the same result?

So, few questions as I'm thinking about adding a marketplace for our users to sell product etc... - If pre-setup with admin can someone sell private forum access to a class area? We sell online workshops so wondering if we could direct the sales via the individual users instead of our main website sales page (non-ips). This way they can sell their own workshops. - If users want to sell videos that can be a pretty large amount of storage space on our site. Is there a way for them to host the videos elsewhere to download from our site or something? How to you recommend handling this? - Is there auto contracts setup or something? We would want a commission fro…

Hi guys, I am struggling with an annoying problem on my board and I am not sure if this is even a bug or I am retarded.. While here on the official board I can insert media from IMGUR with no problem I can't insert a image url from img on my board. As an example: http://i.imgur.com/M42g7VG.jpg (It's from a game called Crowfall) Here I can insert the image via external URL with no problem. But on my board all I get is this: I tried to find the issue at the ACP settings but everything seem to be okay there! Any ideas what I might have missed!?!

When someone quotes you it doesn't tell you what topic you were quoted in. It just says 'username quoted you in a topic'. It didn't used to do this and it's not consistent with other notifications. I.e. If someone likes one of your posts - it tells you what topic it was in. Is there any way to resolve this?

Hello, Today I updated to v4.1.17 without any problems. I notice however that there are many files on the server (within the IPBoard installation) that have file permissions set to 777 There are over 1500 files set like this. I won't list every file!, nut as well as the uploads directory almost every file (not directory) within the theme folder is set to 777 Is this how they are supposed to be configured? Is there a way to fix file permissions if not? Thanks, Simon PS - may not be related to the version upgrade, just coincidentally I was browsing the files today and noticed it.

I believe I am missing something obvious, and I can't quite put my finger on it. If anyone could offer some suggestions I would be greatly appreciative. I recently purchased IP Forums. I am running a wordpress, memberpress membership website. I'm in testing phase. I have a fake account that I'm testing things from. I have it set up where there is a tab in my membership website that members can click on "community" and access the forums. Works in all browsers. Great! Yea! However, when I'm logged in as an administrator, I'm not able to access the forums anymore. When I click on community, it prompts me to log in, when I do, it sends me back to my members…

Hey I find it hard to set permission for each groups of each toolbar button. What I want to do is set permissions for some of the groups that are not in line with the other. But considering the area that doesnt seem to be possible. They have to be located in the same order what ive found out. Or could anyone tell me how you select groups?

Does anyone know how to fix this Location bug, instead of reading Location: California, instead it reads LocationCalifornia. This bug is REALLY annoying, and at first I thought it was the theme, but reverting to IPS Classic theme it still has the same issue.
