Hi, I tried the bulk mail feature for the first time over a week ago but not everyone received the email (didn't arrive in the junk folder either). I have several accounts of my own set up with valid email addresses and with the news and info emails option switched on but none of them received the email either, which was supposed to send to the entire membership. There are no errors in the email logs, and the 'test email settings' feature sends test emails just fine (even tried one of the email addresses the bulk email failed to send to, and it worked in testing too). The bulk emailing system said it sent to all 7,448 members in 12 minutes and 34 seconds. Is thi…

I've followed tutorials so far on setting up the Release Notes for Pages which looks and works great. But is there a tutorial for setting up the IPB Guides, I like how you can have numbered steps. Many thanks!

My holiday blog is built on Joomla. (Greetings from Korčula, an island off the coast of Croatia, by the way!) I'd like to make life easier for my wife by converting it to IPS4 instead. In itself, this isn't a bad project for me to learn from. I know what I want the theme to look like, I know the Joomla database, I know which articles I'd like to move into Pages, and so on. The one thing that I'm not sure about, though, is how one recreates users in a conversion, maintaining the original credentials. For good reason, I can't go into the Joomla database and see what each user's password is. Everything is hashed, just as it is on IPS4. In Joomla I have the fol…

Here's an odd one but hopefully an easy fix? Since updating to 4.1.14.2 recently, Images that users post where the URL contains a space aren't displaying. All others are working fine. For example, this URL doesn't display the image on my forum but works OK here (there is a space between 'mobile' and 'uploads' within the URL but appears correctly encoded): http://i1014.photobucket.com/albums/af261/g4gzg/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-09/IMAG0941_1_zpshhnutipz.jpg The problem seems to occur every time the URL contains a space (%20). The HTML looks OK within the editor and the URL seems to be encoded correctly: <a href="http://i1014.photobucket.com/albums/a…

Hello, I will probably need a plug-in for this but I couldn't find anything related. What I would like to do, is to create a form where I can choose if a certain member gets a certain custom point and not to go to each profile manualy For example, I have a custom field in a profile that is called "Practice Points", the answer is numbered (1,2,3,4....) I would like to have a custom form where I have a list of members, and then I can just press if a certain member gets a point. Is there something out there that could help me with this?

I have question regarding an image being used in a topic, and at a later date, the image is used via "Insert Existing Attachment". Here is the scenario, I create a topic (Y), and I upload in image and insert it into that topic. Now that topic was created a year ago by now, and at a later date, I create another topic (Z), and I use the "Insert Existing Attachment" feature for my new topic, I chose the same image that is being used in topic (Y). All is good, but, few months later, I come across topic (Y), and I find that I want to delete that entire topic. So I do. It's gone now. Does the image I used via "Insert Existing Attachment" for topic (Z) disappear a…

Hello All, I wonder if anyone can help as this one has me stumped. Our forum has had the Gallery application available for a while now but, with the recent problems with Photobucket (is anyone else experiencing some PB hotlinks not displaying images in posts?) we have seen usage of the Gallery increase among our members. The Gallery itself works fine. The issue is when some users want to insert one of their gallery items into a topic / reply using the 'insert other media' ¦ 'insert existing attachment' option, For some users, when they click on 'insert existing attachment' they receive a message from the forum saying 'Something went wrong. Please try…

Greetings IPS Community. I would like to create a full backup of my entire website. How would I be able to do this? My website is http://www.industry-gaming.com/forums Reason for asking is because I want to get rid of my primary website (domain listed without the /forums) and use my IPS 4 as the main website instead, but I don't want to start over from scratch.

I've been through all groups and gallery settings and everything is marked with Administrator access. All of my admins are only admins - no sub categories but we can only see the above the fold area in the live galleries. I suspect this is a setting I've recently changed but hoping someone else has made the same mistake or seen this problem and can save me some time by offering a a fast track to what would be the most likely problem.

Newly upgraded to 4.1. I periodically like to prune the member ranks by deleting zero-post accounts that are over 30 months since last login. The search feature is fast and well-designed. But the results only yield eight records, with no indication of additional pages of results. However, if I choose the "Prune Members Found" text link above the list, an alert warns me "This action will remove 176 members from the community completely. Are you sure you wish to proceed?" I tried a different search, this time for addresses containing "@aol". Only 15 records were displayed, however the Prune feature warned me that 71 would be deleted. Any idea what I need to d…

I have this database setup at my site that has multiple categories. I created a drop down menu that was to take to you a specified filtered category. It worked well for a bit - I then noticed the CSRF key had changed from what was there before. So this prompted this post and one more question. Do these keys change? (I mean obviously they do but how often) Is there a BETTER way of linking to the filtered category?

Can I password protect a single post? If not, I can move it to a password protected forum. If the post is password protected, are the images that are uploaded also password protected? Can I simply navigate to the image folder and it will still be viewable? I've had a couple of problems with a particular thread, and it's rather popular so I'd prefer not to delete it. I got a DMCA request for an image. I suspect they were using some automated way to find their images that have been posted without permission. I immediately took the image down. To prevent this from happening in the future I'd like it if the images were hidden.
