for some time I have had a mix of InnoDB and myISAM tables it seems my server default is myISAM how do I change it to default to innoDB and to convert existing tables to innoDB in one shot not have to use phpmyadmin one table at a time. Also all my tables are currently utf8_unicode_ci and trying to also figure out if there is a similar means to convert the tables to utf8mb4_unicode_ci so my request is what is the pros and cons to each and the step by step guide to alter these items for best recommended configuration. and should these things be one before or after upgrading to 4.1?

Is it possible to have IPB re-write urls being used on pagination to read: /pageXX where XX is of course the page number, instead of /?page=XX as it's currently being written? I do have all SEO features enabled and most URLS are SEO friendly, but these aren't. Thanks for any help!

Hi all, I am looking for a cleaner, better way to do something seemingly simple: access the files associated with a download on the IPDownloads "view" page. The idea is to iterate through, and if file is deemed to be audio, automatically embed it in a media player. With 3.x I made this work by querying the database directly (hackish solution, but it works). My problem is that the $file variable does not seem to expose the files - it appears even the number of files is not specified anywhere? And if this is not possible... well, I am still quite new to 4.x - perhaps there is some other way to achieve the same result?

Hi all. Extracted the upgrade files to my server (Also tried through FTP) And I get this error every time. Some of the files were not as expected. They may have been manually modified or not uploaded correctly. /xxxx/xxxx/www/forum/system/Text/HtmlPurifierInternalLinkDef.php Any guidance on this would be great. First time this has ever happened, all past upgrades have went fine. I am on PHP Version 5.5.9 Also tried extracting fresh from a full IPB download.

Like PunchTab, BunchBall, or Lithium? Trying to get some better user retention by giving "points" that add up to things on the site - like Rank, achievements, awards, etc; or simple points to spend on raffles, prizes, gift cards. Certain amount of points for a daily visit, a new topic, a reply, a "like" ... Any IPB sites currently use one of those gamification services? How much do they cost?
