Unsure if this is a bug or a quirk or what, but, if you go to advanced search, there's no easy way that I can see that allows you to filter your search to particular forums: https://community.invisionpower.com/search/ Even when you select Topics you don't get an option to filter. I do realise that you can just do a search in each forum via the search box and select "only this forum" - but it seems odd the option isn't on the advanced search page? Especially since it look like the page is built to handle that, as evidenced by this: https://community.invisionpower.com/search/?type=forums_topic Is there any reason this isn't on the default form, or, how d…

For whatever reason the editor seems to think that each new line needs to end and reopen a new div. On 3.4.8 we had custom bb code for a box that was used for a template in one section of our community. In 4.1.x we've not figured out how to make this an option in the editor except to copy from an old post and paste it into the new thread. The issue is when we go make a new line by hitting the enter button, instead of going to a new line inside the box, it instead closes that box and creates a new one. It's also impossible to click under the box to type anything outside of it, and each new 'enter' just creates a new box... How do I work around this? H…

Hey, I got the following errors after I moved my installation from server A to B: 1. Login to AdminCP not possible. I log in with the right email and password and it just reloads the loginpage. Nothing else happens. If I add wrong creds, it shows me the errors... Is it a seession / cookie problem? 2. It's not possible to post topics, screenshot: See attachment. 3. If I reply to my first post, it shows the same error. If I reload the topic, it shows my reply. Strange thing: If is reply again, it overwrites the last reply with the latest reply. Everything happened after I moved to server B. Upgrade or install went smoothly. No errors at all. Any help ap…

Hi there, I'm using some secondary groups to specify permission for different sub-forums and areas of my suite. At this time my permission concept looks like that: Primary gorup: Member Secondary group: isAllowedToPostCalendarEntries, isAllowedToPostInSubforumTeam It's not exactly the way my groups are named but in fact it's the way my permission system is built. So, now my question: What happens if there are different settings within the groups? Does the primary group overrides all settings from the secondary group? What if two or more secondary groups have different setting? If I just want to grant a specific user group permissions to enter a subforu…

Hi to all of you, I have successfully migrated my board two times Due to some issues I wanted to re-run the upgrade and everything went fine. The only thing that I have issues with is background tasks. After the upgrade I have logged to Admin area/Dashboard and I could see couple of background tasks standing at 100% and other tasks and 0% I've had to manually run the background tasks so they could be completed. And again I see one task standing at 100% and it looks like it could not be finished. Also I have this message in the Dashboard: I have to say that I didn't had these issues when I have upgraded the board for the fir…

I recently updated to 4.1 from 3.x. Everything is working really well and our members love the new forum. There are a number of members where the forum seems to continuously log them out even if they check off the Keep Me Logged in checkbox on login. It happens to me on occasion too where I will get kicked out of my session and have to login again. This never used to happen on the old board. Anyone have any ideas of what might cause this?

I plan to move a forum on to a subdomain from a sub folder. There used to be a checklist somewhere if I recall correctly, but I can't seem to locate it. I'm using the latest version of IPB and while migrating the forum to the new domain and changing some configuration options is fairly straight forward, I'd image this will result in broken links 1. What SQL command should I run to update any links that may not have updated 2. What's the best way to handle 301's after the migration 3. Anything else they may be useful Thanks so much

I have a custom field setup on my downloads, I am using check boxes for selection. When I select the 'include field in topics' setting I can fill out the display format box, I currently have this filled in: <strong>{title}:</strong> {content} The problem is that the above outputs the title correctly but the content outputs: 0,1,2,3 Which is when the 4 options are checked, I was expecting the result to be my actual option names comma separated, these seem to be array values or similar. How can I get the option name to output?

One of the most annoying features of IP.Board 4.x so far is the auto conversion of a thread link into an embedded link. This also happens when a thread link is added on to text, in which case the text is all removed, and replaced with the thread summary. We have several threads with lists of links to important threads, and these are now all quite a mess. I'm really hoping that this either is something that can be disabled in future releases, or at the very least present the user with an option to either embed or show a link as text. If there is such an option already, please post it here.

In IPB 3.x there were settings to change number of topics at the Forum Index page. I set to 50. In IPB 4.1.x, these configuration are missing. Question: Any DB setting I can set directly to change th default number. Thank you

Upon editing a theme I can enter hex values for various theme elements, I have most of them covered but I don't know where these are, can someone explain where they are used? Prefix Selected Moderated Background Moderated Light Background Moderated Text Moderated Text (Light) Rating 'hover' star Rating 'on' star I have tried using the point and click selector to find them but with no luck. Also, does anyone know if it is possible with Paid Downloads to give certain user groups a different 'Commission for Site' and 'Transaction Fee for Site' rate? Thanks in advance, David
