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…

For example, one of my clients sells products in Belarusian Ruble (BYR). Economics of our country is very successful (actually, no... shh...), we have 200000 rubles banknote. And of course, we haven't hundredth parts in our prices. Is it possible to remove them from all part of Commerce? Thanks in advance!

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 !

The url is like this: http://www.server.com/forum/discover/1.xml This two xml files don't exist and neither does the discover directory. Is this working for everybody ?

Hello, I've been messing with the forums a lot and testing things recently. This issue started happening tonight and I am not sure of the cause. While submitting a new topic, the buttons will display much smaller than they should and do not take up the entire space. Bare with me, it's hard to explain. I've attached an image to the post to help clear up any confusion. As you can see in the attached image, the contents of the page only displays on the furthermost left side. I believe it is supposed to fill the entire space. (Correct me if I am wrong) If the selected category, however, contains posts already in it, this does not happen. Rather, it fills the w…

Hello, I have been running a board using IPB for more than a decade now. I recently renewed my licence and downloaded 4.x, but the tutorial does not provide the answer to the issue I seem to be unable to solve. I asked my web hosting company to increase the memory limit and upgrade PHP and then I went through the rest of the process, but once I was prompted to convert the database to UTF-8, this happened. Error: include(/uploads/profile/photo-5354.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory File: /home/forumim/public_html/conf_global.php(191) : runtime-created function Line: 1 The said image file turned out to be corrupted, but I replaced it w…

I'm interested in renewing my license, and download and upgrade to IPS 4.1. However, I should make a translation my own (as it's a greek forum) and I want to translate only the front end. Is there a way to accomplish that? In the language section of 4.1, I created a new language called "Greek" and as I pressed the translate button I found out that there is no way in this section to make it show only the frontend phases. It has every single phase (frontend, admincp, modules etc) in a page and I cant find a way to display only frontend phases. Thank you.
