I have my Board Registration/Spam Protection set with reCAPTCHA1. Spammers are still sneaking in. I have it set so Registrants have to fill in enough fields that I can tell if it's Spam, and also set so I have to authorize through AdminCP. I can delete them before being authorizing. ?'s That choice says it provides two words that need to be copied by a registrant, but only one word is actually there upon registration. Is that just a mistake in the description? I thought reCAPTCHA was a solid spam prevention device, why are Spammers still registering? Should I use another choice like reCAPTCHA2; it detects a human automatically and/or provides two(…

I've found myself in a bit of a quagmire with the latest ipb upgrade I did. My site used to support itself with job listing and from looking around the site there's no longer a viable solution for me to provide this service to employers and I need a little help developing a viable solution. Otherwise ill have to shut my site down. Thanks for any pointers or advice you have to offer. Bobster

Hi, I converted my vB forum to IPS. The vB forum was at root /public_html/ whereas I've installed the IPS at /public_html/forum/ directory - on same server. As per the IPS conversion guide, I've configured and installed the vB redirection files into IPS folder /public_html/forum/ I believe that this step is to redirect the vB links posted into the posts. But I need to know, when I'm pointing direct link of old vB thread (which was installed at server's root) in my browser, why I'm not been automatically coming to equivalent IPS thread? After reading some topics on forums, I edited the forum.php file of old vB forum with this code to redirect users to n…

Hey guys, I'm new on IPS and seeting up my first forum over here. My dounbt for now is about some things that are not showing on the forum page, first one is the last category I've created (as you can see at image1), it just doesn't appears in the forum (image2). As you can see at image2 as well, is that the side bars, users online and forum statistics doesn't appears in the forum as well, I don't know if it should appears or if I should set it up in any place (if that's the case, can someone show me where I find it?) Thank you in advance.

Hello, I recently upgraded to 4.1.13.2 and I now constantly receive this warning message on my ACP dashboard. I run the task manually, but the error message appears 2 minutes later when the task attempts to auto-run itself. Additionally, a member just contacted me and said they received this error on Paypal when trying to purchase a product on my site: Prior to the upgrade, I don't believe there were any issues. Firstly, are these issues related? And secondly, is there a solution I should follow?

Hello, if you have a database with record image enabled the image upload field is always at the bottom of the record form. How can I move it more to the top of the field list? In our case it would make more sense right after the title field. Normally you can change the order of the fields in acp BUT not the record image field. I tried to create my own record form but the record image field is part of the normal foreach loop. Thanks in advance for any help.

Today there is a red nag on the top of my screen telling me I must upgrade to the latest version of the software suite. My license is not current, so in the past where this screen has appeared I have been able to dismiss it and carry on. Now I can't do that. Why? If I am honest I don't like the direction this software is going and I don't like the attitude of the support behind it either. Are we now being held to ransom by IPS? If you don't upgrade we will place an immovable red block at the top of your login until you pay us a licence renewal. Is this the way it works now? Upgrading to 4.x from 3.4 was the worst thing I have ever done as a forum owner in 10 y…

Hello ! I often get this kind of message when upgrading from the ACP : So, I went to the client area to download the update, but where do I find the update files ?... I know I can download the entire community suite. I suppose I then need to send all the files using ftp and continue the update process ? Thank you !

I am trying to add a count down timer to my website, as you can see I have a free demo version on my main page that I added the iframe coding to a WYSIWYG block, ohiocannabis.com I don't want to pay for the non demo version and someone from a coding forums has given me a HTML/CSS code to use instead. But I need to add the following to a .html file - I'm just not sure which one? Could you please tell me which .html file I can/should edit for situations like this? I know normally everything goes in the custom.css file, but apparently this piece of code needs to go in the .html file to work: I was told to find & replace this piece of…

My site is http://tyrenale.invisionzone.com [will soon by tyrenale.net]. My users have to go to their Profile, click Edit Profile, then check Enable Status Updates to post status updates. Is there any way I can set this by default? I'm using Status Updates as a ghetto shoutbox [which also, you know, naturally posts to their profile which is a nice secondary feature].Thanks!

So, as much as I like the Activity to be the default tab on my website, I'd prefer to have is as a secondary tab. Currently I have two tabs for Profiles available. Activity and About Me. In that order. What I'd like to do is have the tab Status Updates in this order: Status Updates, Activity, About Me. If this is possible, please direct me how! http://forum.eternagaming.com/profile/1-sarumonin/ Thanks again. <3

The new feature in 4.1.13 to highlight the forum posts made by members of specific groups is great But it works for me only in PM's. I managed to find out the cause. With out-of-box IPS theme everything is fine. Which should I check next? Currently I use the most recent IP.Board version. You could see the current topic code in sample.

So I had to reinstall the forums because I went to install the update, but after entering the database info everything just went white.. So I deleted the folder and decided to reinstall it. Now Im stuck at " An installation has already been activated for this license key. Your license key entitles you to one installation only. If you need to change the URL associated with your license, contact IPS technical support. " Do I really have to spend 15$ to reinstall this? If so that's just ridiculous. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys - Trying to get adsene on my page to display but with no luck. I paste the supplied code but get this in the preview window: "Javascript disabled for security" This seems to effect the ads ability to display at all because it simply won't show up. Any ideas?
