Hi, sorry to ask, no doubt it's been asked already, but I'm not sure how to upgrade, I'm a new users of just one week using invision hosting and installer keeps saying download and upload to "my" server? Where is this? Do I just ignore the upgrade message, do upgrades to hosted accounts not just happen automatically? Not sure what to do .... Cheers, Lee

Can anyone tell me where the setting is to display threads/tops normally like 3.4.8 instead of like a bunch of cluttery Q&A threads? See here: http://streetntrack.net/forum/4-the-lounge/ Nevermind, I found it!

I was wondering if as the title say, I could do a 4.1.2 install with only having the 3.4.8 database? My forum is basically gone and all that is left is the MySQL database for the forums. I was running 3.4.8 at the time. Thanks for any help.

I've looked at the available options for PHP on my server and I have the choice of 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Currently it's running 5.3.28. Is it best to go for the highest version and can I just change the setting on the server CP, is there anything I need to do elsewhere?

How can I go about changing the color of the source background editor? Currently it's white and I can't see the text when I toggle it. (I'm using a dark theme, default text is white) So essentially it's a white background with white text when I switch to source editor, how can I edit the color of the source editor background to change it to like a dark gray/black or something? edit: found out that i should be editing " textarea.cke_source " I think? though editing it and adding it to custom.css is not working =/

I've uploaded to my server under /forum/, had our server PHP version upgraded, and I'm having an issue: Whilst installing, on Server Details, I put it my SQL details, leaving all other details alone, and I get the error message: No such file or directory I don't know why? I presume it's to do with the Site URL, but the directory /forum/ very much does exist - that's exactly where my files are! Any help is appreciated. Joe

http://www.theshaymen.net/ipb/ The post counts as displayed on the home page are not correct. They're 10,000s off in some cases. I can't seem to find anything in the ACP to have these re-counted. Any ideas?

Are there any plans no supporting PHP 7 from your side?

I see that with the replacement of Nexus with Commerce the Paypal settings have changed as well. I created the app to accept payments and that all works, but Paypal is asking where do they send the user after they take the payment? What's the return URL for Commerce?

What exactly is a browser notification and what does it look like? I have them off: But I still get the sound, the pause icon in the tab, and the black notification pop-up at the bottom. Are those all site notifications and not browser? I know the sound is a setting but I shouldn't have to turn it off if browser notifications are off, so confused. Thanks

Hi I have multiple calendars on my site ( for areas all over the UK) but it seems that the ony RSS feed available is upcoming events which covers all calendars. I wonder if if there is a way for me to have a RSS feed for each one somehow? Reason I want this is to feed the calendar events into the relative forum ie cheshire calendar events into cheshire forum. Thanks if you can help Its the same with using pages/blocks it only has upcoming events or reviews not individual calandars
