Finally got around to actioning the last update, and now the site is REALLY slow for a chunk of users. Tried clearing the cache but it's still a sloth. Any reason for this? Or any way to fix it and/or speed things up?

When I enter my chat room I'm having an issue where after awhile, when I type something and hit enter the field in which I enter my text to send doesn't clear and then it starts spamming the same text over and over all on it's own. Anyone run into this? Ideas on how I can fix this?

Is anyone else noticing Polls not fully listing all the voters? I've had several polls on my forum set so you can see who voted, but not all users who voted seem to get listed on them. It'll say for example 11 people voted on an option, but it'll list only 7 of them, etc... EDIT: Think I found the culprit. I'll file it as a bug. Apparently if you change your vote, then change it back, it won't list you anymore as a voter, but still count your vote.

We need to create a task like we had in 3.4.x. How do you do it in 4.x? I made a file in /applications/core/tasks/ but how do I make it run regularly? Or did I place the file in the wrong place?

Hi - I'm fairly new to IPB and have just been set a bit of a puzzle by my boss. He wants us to use our Community to share presentations we have created with our community members. The downside (as I see it) is that nearly every presentation we create is built using MS PowerPoint and inevitably the file size is over 5MB due to the images we use within the files. I've tried uploading our PPTs to SlideShare then embedding them into our Community - this is ok, but I'm not convinced how secure SlideShare is (a lot of the files we would want to share have intellectual property or monetary value; potentially someone could find the presentation in SlideShare if they really want…

Is it possible to set a "static" permanent image for the Gallery Categories? I dont like how it simply takes the first image of an album and sets it from that. I would prefer to somehow set categories image from the ACP. This way I can create categories that are self explanatory to the end user because the category image can be used as the description. I do acknowledge that the name of the category is fine but I would prefer to set a stock image of my choosing here. Any insight would be appreciated.

Greetings Just upgraded to 4.1.7... users are complaining that suddenly getting loads of emails. around 650 an hour which is much more than 3.4 used to send. Did some research here to find out how to fix this, and I am telling members how to fix this, However, I would like to do this globally for everyone. Any ideas?

Does anyone know if there's a way of changing the default search settings so when a member puts something into the search box it searches Topic Titles only and looks for all words entered? On the forum I run most people searching for stuff are looking for a particular topic and not anything mentioned within that topic, it would make the search facility a lot more useful to me. Thanks, Mike.

Hello ! I'm going to upgrade to version 4, but during UTF-8 conversion, I had problems (error messages) with one table (the posts table) which is nearly 7 Gb big. A few months ago, I created a new community using version 4, and during installation, I noticed a message saying something like it is possible to have the posts table being turned into several tables ? Can you tell me about it ? Thank you.

On a site IPS upgraded from 3.4, I have experienced some issues with permissions but the latest is weird. I am unable to view who voted in polls - this is despite the fact I am an admin with the permission attached to my account. I can't figure out what would be preventing this.

I'm having a baffling issue with Pages. I have been working on migrating my v3.x forum suite to v4.x, and my Pages content carried over horribly. I originally had articles as my home page which would display community news, and I would use the old "teaser" paragraph as what the main page created would show. Only if it were clicked would it show more. What's killing me here is my old "teaser" content sometimes had URL's embedded in text. For some reason, in IPB4 I cannot get Pages to show hyperlinks unless an article is actually clicked, thereby making for a very odd news page. As an example, something that should appear like this: A new product wa…

Hello ! I've tried converting to utf8mb4 through SSH. It was fast at the beginning, then when it came to the posts table (7 Gb big), it looked liked the converter freezed at 9% (but mysql was still doing the job it seemed- I ran a top to check). Minutes later, I got this error message : I typed again php cli.php and I got this message : I chose to continue. It freezed again. So I restarted the conversion again. It took 56 minutes to complete... I restarted it and got the same error, but the conversion was faster (28 minutes). I visited my test web site and it seemed ok, except that I got question marks (?) where I …

Right, so here is my server specs: 32GB Ram Intel Xeon E3 1245v2 3 x 120 GB SSD 1Gbps Internet Speed I am using nginx, zend op cache & suhosin. I also have memcached installed, so I use zend op cache & memcached. I am using MariaDB. However, i am not too happy with the load time of the index of my forum. It takes anywhere between 350ms - 500ms to load, what could I do to improve this? I want to get down to at least 200ms, if possible even. MariaDB Config: [mysqld] local-infile=0 ignore-db-dir=lost+found #character-set-server=utf8 datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock #bind-address=1…

Hello ! I tried all day long, but I didn't make it using wamp or xampp to make a copy of my web site on my computer... too many errors and too many problems for me... it made my day a nightmare... So, I created a subdomain on my server (like http://testupgrade/myboard.com) and copyed my website's content into it. I also created a test database and make the changes so that http://testupgrade/myboard.com works just as if it was my real website. And it works... So now, I have two websites using the same licence key... So : how do I modify the license key and add TESTINSTALL at the end of it ? Thank you !
