Hi, O version 3 I had PHP code which was generating links globaly on every page on forum, the code is: <php> include_once("statlinkxxxxxxxxxxxx.php"); $toShow = statlink_show_links("", " | ", "", ""); </php> {$toShow} Now after upgrade to 4.1 I can't display those links at all, I was trying difrrent methos and none was correct. Is there any chance to run this php globaly in sidebar or footer or I just have to downgrade forum version? Thank You

I can't figure out why members cannot make comments on the blogs.... I think I have activated everything and there isn't a button anywhere I can see to enable someone to comment. The blog show number of views and also shows comments (0) and entries(0)

I'm interested in using Mailchimp to send a newsletter to my community. However, I'd like to keep the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email tied to IP.Board rather than using Mailchimp's own unsubscribe function. Is there any standard way to create this link using fields in the DB, or must it be generated by IP.Board's own bulk mail function?

Hello, I have recently switched domains and now any images will not show up on my IPB installation. To achieve this I moved the directory with IPB in it to the webroot of the new domain it is under. I changed the conf_global to align with the new domain and I am using the exact same database using the same credentials. Could there possibly be a htaccess file or something of the sort that is missing that would cause this or is it something else entirely. I would highly prefer not to have to reinstall my board as I have done a lot of work on it to get it ready. I have attached a few images that may make it easier to understand what I am talking about.\…

Hello, I have a problem with the RSS feeds being posted via dlvr.it I emailed them sending them this email: ========================== I have been using this site for over a month after I left twitterfeed. I grab rss feeds from my forum but i'm having a problem. When a new post is made on my site, twitterfeed would post it, when people replied, twitterfeed wouldn't post new updates to the posts to twitter which was fantastic. But with dlvr.it the new post is grabbed by yourselves from my rss feed and posted to twitter. But if someone replies to a post then the link to the reply is posted up you can see on my twitter feed https://twitter.com/myfootieforum "…

Hey guys, I just updated my forums to 4.1.16.1, but the 'Forums' and 'Gallery' applications did not update for some reason. I used the automated update tool in IPS as I'm using IPS's cloud based forum. I can't seem to find the application files that I need to upload manually so I can update those applications. Thanks!

For the past few days, based on comments in another topic, I've been using CleanTalk.org to help filter spam. Overall, it's been pretty great, and I strongly recommend it. The Pros: It's greatly reduced the amount of time my moderators need to spend working and moderating posts, users, etc. by flagging them as spammers, issuing warnings, etc. It stops posts as well as registrations. It has a relatively simple interface that lets you mark things as NOT spam. I haven't seen any false positives yet. Those, as you can imagine, are MUCH worse than false negatives as real users can get upset. You can block entire countries from posting a…

Hello, As the title say: how can I disable the rep system in off-topic and others areas ? The rep system is useless if users can "exploit" it by earning points in areas of no importance (like off-topic). Users in my forum get a lot o rep by posting funny stuff and users that participate in serious discussions, sometimes, get less reps. Thank you.

Hello, How can I inform a user that an admin changed his/her display name? In v3.x there was an option to send an email with this kind of information. Now it is unavailable. This is a crucial function.

I went to ugprade to version 4 and I had issues with this and had to revert back. I would love to upgrade to 4 but wanted to see if this was fixed. I put a link to my site and wanted to see if the upgrade could handle this? My site does trophy guides for the PS3/PS4/Vita and it includes japanese/korean games as well. Last time I asked was about 1 year ago so wanted to see if there is any changes. http://ps3imports.org/forum/index.php?/topic/7663-hoshi-ori-yume-mirai-converted-edition-trophy-guide/

I'm looking for ways to retrieve search result outside the suite from existing application. Is there any way I can get search result outside the suite? It would be ideal if there's a REST API for that, but I couldn't find it yet.

Hi there, getting much spam posts in the last few days. Gone that far that I had to disable the registration function. IPS Spam Service detects not everything. ReCaptcha2 is enabled but they still can register. Do you know how I can set a Filter for korean language to be denied? They post a answer in every topic, creating new ones and so on... Never had spam until now...
