I'd like to know if someone could lend me a hand with some quick PHP code and the RULES application. I basically need a field checked for a certain response. If the response isn't what I need it to be, the form submission is cancelled with a message. If it DOES meet the criteria, the user is able to continue filling out the form.

Hi, I updated my forum to the new 4.1.14.1 version. I have an issue when I try edit posts. I see a popup error always, with any post I trying to edit. I have permissions to edit posts, same issue with all Groups in my forum, including Administrators. Before update all works fine :/ Issuse: I can create threads, and edit first message but, when I post a response, I can't edit the response messages. All of my members have this issue and see this popup with the error. My members can't edit any message they posted.

Hi, As title suggests I have two questions. 1. Is there a way to keep a group out of ranking system? I know that I can manually change a title on a profile, but I would have to do it with every staff member's account which is not really user-friendly. 2. Is there a way to change images for reputation of posts (green and red arrows, and a heart)?

WHY OH WHY when users are logged in (or not) in on mobile can they only see the first post in a topic? A topic that has X amount of replies and still they can only see the first post? Is there a setting for this or something that I am missing here? ? ? Upgrading to 4.1.15 didn't fix this.

When members are deleted in IPS 4 the posts simply get the name "Guest". Which on a helpfulness scale from 0 to 10 is 0... I wish to change this to be set to "Guest_Thedeletedname". Like it was in IPS 4, but I can't find where the rows are updated to be guest posts.

I would like to change the display name color of each account according to their user group. For example, I have admins in red. Their user group appears below the avatar in red, but their display name remains black. How can I change this so that display names are colored according to their user group, both in threads and on the main board?

I'm not sure how it occurred, maybe when the switch was made from 3.4.9 to 4.0 and we stopped using separate login and screen names and the conversion of the names didn't go right. I have some members that have not been active in a while. They show up in the member list on the board, but if I search for them in the ACP they don't show (yes I checked to make sure I started fresh with the search in the acp list by exiting the acp and coming back in. . Using phpmyadmin and looking at the database under core members they appear there. I need a way to delete their content and then delete their account like we normally do from the acp list. As a test I went to the d…

I have been running IPS v4 for several months on my test site, i.e. www.example.net I am now ready to take that test site live and I want to change it to the "production URL" of .www.example.com -- I've used that URL for almost 18 years and do not want to change it, similar to keeping an old cell phone number when you get a new phone. Meanwhile, I have unlocked the test site, with a link to it for the users, who are learning how to navigate it and use it. I've simply locked down the old site and left a link pointing to the new one. What actions do I need to take in IPS to make this change, other than the simple DNS stuff to point to it. (I realize that I also …

I just noticed that using the "direct link" from photobucket no longer works on my site. The link works fine. The direct link from photobucket when pasted here gets the tags auto added. Also a while back the picture/graphic would show up immediately after pasting the direct link. Has something been changed that I missed in one of the updates recently?

Hey folks, is there anyway to prevent the "right click on an image" to "save as" in our communities. In other words, can I prevent the downloading of images posted in our forums. And if I can, what are the consequences of doing that? Thanks John
