Actually not sure if it was 4.1.12.1 or the option in the ACP to transfer update files without downloading first - OR BOTH For the first time ever I used the PHP OpenSSL feature in the ACP to try and auto update. I checked SFTP and put in the credentials. (I thought this would be easier-- man was I wrong) It instantly destroyed my site. White pages only. See the PHP OpenSSl jacked up all the permissions on my files. Changed them to 600 which won't work with the installer (or anything else) I was manually fixing permissions 1 at a time until the installer finally was able to finish only to find out that after upgrading, many pages on my site are totally dest…

We are getting frustrated by the inability to redirect members to a certain page on sign up. We want to go from a landing page through to a welcome page. Also on logging out it would be great to take them to a thank you see you soon page. Can anyone help with this please.

Hi all We recently moved over to 4.0 - one feature our mods miss is the "Deleted content" where if a post / topic was deleted in error could easily be restored.. as far as i can see this isn't an option in ACP - has it totally been removed or hidden somewhere? Thanks Marc

I have a Database set up that can properly save Data (From a form I've created people can access and fill out) and my issue was getting it to redirect to a certain page. Once I figured out the code for the redirect to work it would stop saving the data to the Database or Records section. How would I be able to manage both?

There is a critical problem and upcoming legal conflicts in special countries for many IPS communities, that use the IPS software as-it-is. We need a workaround or at least know, where the parameter value for the subscribe-to-bulk-email-checkbox on the registry page is located in the code, as this is illegal in a lot countries due to privacy protection laws! It has to be changed/unchecked by default! I was able to turn it off in IPS 3, but I can't find the setting in the code in IPS 4. So long, I can't bulk email my members, as this is a mega fraud especially for large communitys to accept the default value on/true by subscribing into the bulk email list o…

Hi, My forum has the warning on it "Version 4.1.12.1 of the IPS Community Suite is now available. This includes a security patch and we recommend you upgrade as soon as possible." So I go to do the upgrade and read this " Warning This release does not support PHP 5.4 as it is end of life and no longer supported by PHP. If you are running PHP 5.4 do not upgrade and ask your web host to update to a supported version of PHP. So I go into my hosting and change the PHP version to PHP 5.6.21 version Go to do the upgrade and get this page Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error…

I've submitted a support ticket but thought I'd ask here to see if anyone has (ever?) had this problem. I can't say for sure if updating to 4.1.12.1 did this, but for some reason I can't upload files anymore. To any category. The files seem to transfer ok, but when I drag and drop or browse in files to upload the dialog windows for entering title and file information do not appear. All I get is the upload meter and the Continue button at the lower right. When the uploads reach 100%, the Continue button remains ghosted out. My mouse turns to a hand over it, but when I click the button it stays ghosted out and nothing whatsoever happens. I've tried different …

Hello all, Is it possible to have the Load More Activity button used for loading more articles from a database, instead of paginations links? The image above shows the button I am referring to. It would be awesome to have members load more articles on my homepage by having such a button instead of pagination. Most of my users come from Facebook and this method closely resembles the way posts on Facebook load as you scroll down.

I just ran the converter and now I'm instructed to edit conf_global.php. I don't have the info suggested, please advise on how to correct this file. Thank you The instructions say: In order to finish the conversion: Open the /home/admin/domains/squarewheelscycling.com/public_html/conf_global.php on your server. Locate the sql_utf8mb4 declaration, which may look like this: 'sql_utf8mb4' => false, Or like this: $INFO['sql_utf8mb4'] = false; Change the false to true. Do not change any other aspect, including any comma or semi-colon after the false. I don't have either of those lines in my file. The only thing I se…

Hi, I updated my forum to latest v4.1.12.1 once I've received email notification 2-3 days ago. Yesterday my web hoster informed me that my server contains "finishing" pages. I discovered /login folder in the root with many unknown PHP files. So I deleted it. Then my SMTP server Postfix started to send many spam emails (around 100'000 per day!). And I don't know who sends this spam. I tried to compare my forum files with new installation files - no lack. I see differences in some folders /datastore, /cache and some others. So I have no idea where is deleterious script. I always instantly updated Invision forum. All configuration files are protected, I disabl…

Hi, We've just moved from VB4 to IPS4 over the weekend. So far so good, but one thing that seems missing is a link at the bottom of each thread to go to the next or previous thread. Am I missing something obvious or is it not possible? I've seen it on 'Unread content' but not just when browsing forums in general. Thanks

I accidentally deleted a few images from a gallery so I re-imported the rows from a backup to ibf_gallery_images using phpMyAdmin. The images themselves were missing so I re-uploaded them. Anything else I should do to ensure everything is in working order? The other tables that referenced the images - ibf_core_search_index and orig_ibf_gallery_images - did not seem affected by the deletion so I didn't re-import anything into those.

Hi, I was upgrading my ipb to version 4, and now I'm stuck because of this: And I think it shouldn't happen, since it is exactly the same license key and exactly the same url, I'm just upgrading. How can I solve this? My forum is offline now, so I have this urgency. Thanks!

I'm just starting to use version 4 on a couple installations and I'm trying to modify some of the themes,, the logo image, the background picker image, etc. But when I try to select a file to upload in the theme using the "choose a single file" tab, it's not working. Not for logo images, nor the background picker either. It's like there's a permission issue on a folder that isn't set right. It just ignores my request to choose a new local file. Can someone direct me on how to fix it? I've been experimenting with various folders via ftp but I haven't had any success so far. Thanks, Ron
