I have a google ad in the sidebar. This displays in the top right. How can i add another google ad further down the sidebar. I would like the google ad to be created in the IPS advertisements feature. I can define a custom location, but not sure how to create a location that is in the sidebar further down under under several other widgets Would be good if IPS Advertisements were a widget you could drag and drop into location...

I am using the staff page as a clan roster(not ideal but until some one comes up with one it is what it is). Lately when I add someone to the staff page it is not showing their group. Was working flawlessly until about a week ago. Any ideas how to get this working again?

ok it appears that my 'conversion' from years ago just was not complete or failed but I have been running IPB for a long time but i still get people trying to find ancient posts. i can find old posts in the old database but simply don't exist in the live IPB. I still have my conversion table but even that isn't 100% accurate to figure out the translated ID numbers. Is there any way to figure to how to restore as they are reported missing posts?

Good evening I have been trying to update my forums IPB4, they haven't been updated for some time (July/Aug). From the information displayed in the Dashboard area it lists the updates and then the download option. I have downloaded the file, extracted it, uploaded it and started the update process done the login, system and licence check but when it goes to applications I get the following message. "There are no applications available to upgrade" I have asked via the support ticket system for assistance but keep getting told to check the client area I do this and can't find the updates.

I just made a fresh install of IPS 4.1.4.1 on my local machine. I also set it to developer mode, since I intend to work on some applications. Now I want to create a new application. I fill in the form as follows: Then clicking 'Save' gives me this: The main error reads 'UnderflowException lang_not_exists____app_gmsc'. So how can this be solved? This is the first action I've performed after the install of IPS and added the devtools, so the install is completely vanilla. If I ignore the error, and go to 'Applications' in the AdminCP, my application is there, and seems to be created correctly. I can create modules, hooks etc without a problem,…

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I thought themes were supposed to auto update except for custom.css (for those that only used that file). i.e. An update would overwrite anything that hadn't been changed. Even the IPS Support one I just created doesn't include the changes here. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Hello, I have a problem since yesterday. I do not know if this is related to the update that I did. I do not see the possibility to make status updates for everyone. When I look into the options group, I have "Can post status updates?" : OK (for all groups) but I need to turn this setting on each status individually for that we can post your status.

To be clear, I'm going to add all the provided robots.txt sample stuff into my live robots.txt. But 98% of our forums are member only and private. The other 2% are viewable by public but with no posting privileges. Nothing in the robots.txt can make the search engines see or index our member only content correct? It will just show the areas that are visible to guests by that permission set? Just verifying... Thanks!
