I have this user who signed in through facebook. On Facebook he had this stupid naked picture of himselve as profileimage. Now - he changed his username and removed the picture from facebook and from everywhere on the net. Still - when people search for his name - first thing they see is this naked picture with a link to my forum as the first hit on google. So - it seems - allthough he has changed his profilepicture and name - his name is still in the quotes all around my forum. How do we recount that in 4.1? Thanks KI

Hi guys, Been playing around with my new IPS installation, still haven't got the import to work yet..in the meantime I have made a couple of minor theme changes. Mostly the colour but also added a header image using the header image plug in, and added a site logo. Earlier I was playing around with the menus, added a new menu button to an external website. That is literally all I did. Now the header area looks like the attached. I reverted the menu to how it was before, nothings changed. Any idea why this happened please?

Hello, Using the latest IPS/IP.Board I'm hoping someone has figured out a way to do this. I could use the announcement system (but then I have to open up the announcement system to ALL my moderators of different forums, and it appears I can't restrict which forums they are allowed to post announcements to). I am trying to use the "Users can only see own posts" permission setting for our support forums, so that they are private posts. However, we have specific instructions on the formatting of their post (think a template they use). I would like to let my moderators post and pin that template in their respective forums, however, it appears that regular users …

Hello, I have SSO in my web app and in order to authenticate people using ipb I'm using the following code: require $path.'/forum/init.php'; \IPS\Session\Front::i(); echo id: ".\IPS\Member::loggedIn()->member_id; Very ofter I get an empty member_id from the echo command and the session disappears from my part of the application. The session in ipb still works fine and after clicking several links in the forum, the member_id variable becomes available again and so the session for my part of the app. This happens all the time. Should I add anything else to those two first lines in order to use the session information in my app ? Thanks.

Hi guys, I'm trying to configure Facebook login handler properly. Today I have finally got my App approved by Facebook. And seems it almost works, but on the very last stage, when facebook redirects me back to community, community login/register page says "Something went wrong". Very detailed error explanation, I really love it... but no idea, what exactly goes wrong. Could somebody help and provide example (screenshots) of proper facebook App settings? I'm not sure that I have configured "Advanced" tab properly Thanks!

Hello amigos, i want to have different language setups, or display options for my frontpage only (http://infinity-exp.net/). The frontpage is only displaying news which i currently distinguish with tags like "english" or "german". The thing i want to have now is that people can change the language on the mainpage so that the news are changing in either english or german, or they get redirected to the correct language by default and can change later if they want to see the german/english news. Pls help ;<

I'm currently trying out the demo board for version 4. I'd like to be able to create an album that both myself (Admin) and Moderators can upload photos to/delete photos from but standard members can't upload photos to/delete photos from it. Is this possible? I can't seem to find a way to restrict groups from categories/certain albums. EDIT: Sorry, just realized I can do it with the categories! Can admin delete this post please. :-)

Since I originally installed the site, my account has all the admin privileges. If I add a new admin user, however, they are still quite limited in their privileges. One example of such a limitation is the new admin user's inability to edit database fields. I have taken a look at the Admin group settings, and I found nothing strange there. Does anyone know how to debug this?
