Hi guys - hopefully this is a quick answer, however I've not found it in search simply because so many people complain about statistics in general....I don't want to weigh in on that.... So anyway. I have a block which I am using to push code onto a page encouraging registration. "Register now, you will be member X" where X is member {number="$stats['member_count']"} plus one. The thing is, that only seems to work in a block set up for member statistics, which this one is not. Can that value be pulled independently?

So here is the steps- maybe someone can reproduce? Use default icons no uploaded files - everything is fine Upload "testbackground.png" @ 50B, unread/read icons and save - everything is fine Delete uploaded icons and save - everything is fine Go back to the forum icons to tweak something, 0B images are there, click delete and save - breaks icons (breaks them even if you don't delete them again) Go back to forum icons a second time and delete the 0B images and save - everything is fine but spits out a 404 error on the image when inspecting page *And they never delete, if I upload a new icon and then delete it, it produces the same result of 0B placeholder…

Is turned on, so are there any other setting that control this that might have been turned off please?

So I'm just styling my board and I came across some weird styling. As you can see the first forum description is correct. It's a light grey but for some reason IPS is styling the second forum description darker. It's generating some inline styling via javascript. How do I over-write that?

When users use the "report" function on the forum, the admin gets sent an email notification. But I don't see where this email address is set in the settings. Can someone please tell me how to change that email? It seems different from the main admin email.

I used to use permissions to sometimes restrict a member from starting topics in a certain forum or make posts in a forum. But now permissions don't appear to be available. How do I achieve the same now?

I'm having issue to import Calendar from my community to my Google Calendar. Neither the file or the webcal url work. (It's working perfectly on thunderbird, and poorly on Outlook since all events are imported the day and hour of import) Is anyone else having issue ? Can somebody provide me a file of custom exported community calendar that is working to import on Google Calendar ? I would like to compare them to mine and check what's wrong with my file. Thank You, Naurel

Basically what I was thinking of doing is lets say you have a custom field but you want to use that custom field inside an image as an alt name. What's the proper code? something along the lines of field_ID or something?

One of our users informed us that he is getting hundreds of password recovery emails, that he did not ask for. I guess this means that someone is (stupidly) trying to "hack" into his account..? or maybe just trying to flood his email account for "fun"? Anyway, is there a way to limit the amount of password recoveries a user can ask for? thanks

Could someone tell me where I can find the HTML code for the ipsWidget_vertical ipsBox block? This appears in the side bar of the Forum area of our site and I need to change a setting to make sure it pulls through only the previews from the community on which its being used (the site is a replication of another one we built and currently all the Forum Topics are being pulled through from the original site, if that makes sense). I'm guessing its somewhere in Page Management>Templates but I'm struggling to locate it.

I have had a 3.4 forum for almost 2 years now and I am in the process of upgrading to 4.1 and a serious problem has apparently come to light. It seems that anyone using a Verizon phone service (be it an iPhone or an android) is having VERY slow response time (even times out) from our 3.4 forum as well as on the newer 4.1.13 test site. When connecting via wifi - no problem. People using AT&T, no problem. I am at a loss for understanding what the issue might be. Has anyone else experienced this or have any idea what might be wrong? I suspect Verizon but.....

Hi all so i am doing a test migration but when i click on the link in this line. This converter supports translating your old settings into their IPS Community Suite equivalents. If you would like to do that, please click here before beginning. SELECT option_value FROM `option` WHERE option_id='boardTitle' IPS\Db\Exception: Table 'window_cf.option' doesn't exist (1146) Should my ips database have the same name as my xenforo database??

When I click in pencil, I got a text box to edit the stream title! That's all? So if I want to add/remove containers, for example, I should delete this stream and create a new one?

Hi there, I've created a set of pages around our forum competitions, and I've put them in a folder called, quite logically, "competitions". One of these pages is named "index", and I've made it the "Default page for this folder". I expected this would produce a URL like mysite.com/competitions/ which would load the index page. Unfortunately, the URL created is mysite.com/competitions/index which is not what I want. (And mysite.com/competitions/ produces a Page Not Found error.) Is this a known bug? Or am I doing something wrong? I also have an issue with the navbar breadcrumbs. I have created another page in the competitions folder called "terms…
