I need to find out from you great folks how to get Google Adsense bot logged into my site. I know you suppose to use "POST" function and username is "auth" and then password is "password". My problem is that Google Adsense is not logging in. But this is as far as it goes when you click Test login. Never completes. Is there something I'm missing?

Hi, thanks for implementing the definite/indefinite article feature for foreign languages. But how can I add an additional language string as described in the release notes ... ... without uploading a complete new language file. We changed a lot of pre-translated strings and don't want to overwrite them again. Is there any manual way to add those definite article strings? BTW, you can't search for ___defart keys only. I always see the __indefart.

In the last couple of days (have done the upgrades to the most recent versions) my forum has experienced issues with new topic titles where it's putting an '+' between each word instead of a space? Any ideas?

Hello, I am considering adding a paywall to my forum. Since it is a photography forum, one idea could be to give access to the gallery only to paying members. What would be the best way to do it in IPB 4?

not sure if this can be done or possible but .. I have a hidden forum section only viewable by a particular group. Eg "group1" is it possible for "group1" member to switch other "members" of the site say in group "members" over to "group1" and also remove them if needed back to "members" group without acp access. I would only wish them only to be able to switch members to their group1 only . Not letting them takes members and change them to admins for example. thanks in advance

Evening all! I'm running 4.1.14, and find myself needing to tweak php.ini. Problem is, I've scoured every last directory and can't for the life of me find the file. I could have sworn it was in the root directory whenever I've needed it up to now, but it appears to have run away from home. If someone could tell me what the file path to php.ini should be, it will be much appreciated. Thanks! -Dev

Hi, We want to hide or remove the specific group names that appear under the members avatar as we have badges and it looks a bit silly. I imagine it is through formatting but I have no idea what I need to insert in the box. Thanks.

How do you modify the html in email templates? By that I mean the actual design and structure of it. Where is the developers resource for them? Where can I find premade templates? So many questions and 0 answers on the forums as of right now. It's getting frustrating.

Hello, I got issues with updating my IPS to the latest version. In preparation, I turned off the custom theme, turned off third-party application/plugins and made the standard theme that is provided with IPS the default for both the website and adminCP. Now, when I click upgrade, it downloads the files, and tries to apply them, and then the following error is shown: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught IPS\Http\Url\Exception: INVALID_QUERY in C:\inetpub\edwebsite\system\Http\Url.php:957 Stack trace: #0 C:\inetpub\edwebsite\system\Http\Url.php(209): IPS\Http\_Url::componentsFromUrlString('adsess=c2gopreh...', false) #1 C:\inetpub\edwebsite\init.php(442…

How do I get all the icons back - the file paths under the acp look fine - this is following upgrade of live site from 3.4.7 to 4.0.2 All icons on the ACP and in the front of the site are missing and are not visible. I have re-cached everything and still no joy running the support tool. The file paths under System -> Files appear correct to me.

Hello, I am somewhat new to IPS so I still try to figure out some basic things. One of the things I really struggle to understand is how to customise the registration form for my forum? I need to add several more question, edit some of the existing once and add a small paragraph at the top of it. I have seen several forums using IPS doing that, but I can't figure out where I have to press to have this editing power. Have a nice day to all

Hello ! I've upgraded to version 3.1.14 and now MySQL and a reindexing task started. I don't know why, I ended up with two instances of each tasks running at the same time (the only change I did yesterday after the upgrade was modifying the search control value for one of the member Groups, because I saw the same search query being ran in my mysql slow log file). This morning, all the tasks have ran, but there is still one : What should I do in your opinion ? If I click on "manually run them now", I see the rebuilding figures go up, then down, then up, then down as if it was blocked or updated twice... I wanted to stop/cancel this and restart…

Dear folks, I know during upload of images to gallery, descriptions and tags can be added to each image, after the image is uploaded although, it does not appear that the member can back track and add tags or descriptions, I can see where a user can edit their album, but I am having a hard time seeing where images can be edited for desc and tags. Is there a setting I must flip on in order for our members to be able to add desc and tags to their images after upload? Thanks

Hello ! Did someone run into this problem and found a solution ? I upgraded yesterday to version 4.1.13.2 and I'm having problems of high server loads. For instances, a few minutes ago : - my server load was about 10 when it was supposed to be 0.8 or 1. - Mysql was using between 500 and 800 % of CPU. I know how to create the problem : this happens when I click on the board's menu "Activity/My activity streams/Content I posted in". The board simply returns no results and the CPU used by mysql rises... Do you know how to fix this ? Thank you !

Hello everyone, Today, I wanted to further customize my CKEDITOR's toolbars in the ACP, but I can't. The console shows this error: I've upgraded to 4.1.14.1 this morning (no issue encountered), but I can't tell if it's related, because this isn't the only update I installed since the last time I was on the toolbars customization page. I tried to contact support from the ACP, but was unable to write a message, because the editor is not firing up (same error). Note that the editor works without any problem in the Suite. I only have this on the ACP (I used the default theme for the ACP). Any idea? Thanks a lot in advance!
