Stupid question, but how do you allow users from a certain group to post content like articles? It has to be possible, but I can't see anything in permissions or membergroup allowances.

The emoticon-button for etmoticons displays as the link icon, and the link icon is a tool. I managed to get my smiley icon back in Chrome by cmd + shift + r a lot of times. This is how a lot of users sees it: This is how I see it after force refreshing ~10 times (in ACP): Both toolbars is exactly the same (no edits are made in ACP). V4.1.1

Hello, is there a way to get sidebar advertisements to display if there isn't any other module placed in the sidebar position? I set ads to display in the sidebar and they will only show when i have a module (topics, posts, users online, etc), placed in the sidebar on a page. As well, any way to get more than one sidebar advertisement to display at once? Thanks in advance.

When upgrading our forum from 3.4 to 4 I had to do the conversion to utf-8 (the utf-8 that included emoticons or something) with their converter. I'm not seeing encoding issues. For instance in places where there was an apostrophe it shows a bunch of jibberish. Did anyone else have this issue? My forum looks a mess and that's one of the reasons. Thanks for any feedback on this...

URL Rewrite

Hi, I've migrated my forum to a new server and took the opportunity to move the forum from a subdomain and place it at the top level. I have introduced the ".htaccess mod_rewrite" provided by IPS (as below) which is working a treat, however search engine results are returning an error, and from what I can see in the URL, I need to remote /index.php from the result. Can anyone offer assistance as I have zero idea what I am doing here! <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> Options -MultiViews RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule \.(jpeg|jpg|gif|png)$ /public/404.php [NC,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{R…

Finding after having upgrading to 4.1.1 that I'm unable to create any new categories or discussions. Keep receiving the EX4096 Something went wrong. Please try again. but now when viewing the forum listing within the ACP, I have multiple sections as if they were created anyway. I tried to go through support and it went to step 2 no problem, got to the section where it had disable apps and plugins, now I'm receiving this error 2S162/1 You cannot delete your default theme I'm unable to get past this to even send in a ticket and now the site is throwing up a 500 error.

I tried adding a few plug-ins from the CKEditor site and they appeared to install just fine as there were no errors and then after one of them there were no more buttons on the toolbar. No biggie just restore to default configuration right? Well I tried that and it said it completed but there are no buttons and the editor won't open on any posts. Going through the steps of the ACP > Support didn't solve anything. At this point the community is completely useless so if anyone has any ideas on how I can successfully restore the default toolbar configuration I would appreciate it.

OK, got a strange issue with my forum, namely in the Storage Settings area of the ACP. I switched back from using an external CDN for storing IP.Downloads data to storing the data locally on the server again due to login issues with the CDN server. Now, the process completed successfully as all the data has been transfered over, and both of the FTP configuration settings no longer display the in use warning when you try to edit them. But, the IP.Downloads Screenshots entry still lists the warning that a transfer is underway and the drop down menu is still greyed out, as shown in the image below. I've tried re-caching through the Support section of the ACP, and …

Hallo I'm running a 4.0.x board and try to support HTTPS / SSL in the future. I want to allow both types of connections for a while. So I enabled SSL in Apache but I know noticed that the resources (images, css, js files etc) are still loaded via HTTP. I think this is caused by the board_url setting in conf_global.php What is the best approach to allow both http and https connections while serving all files via the initial protocol the user visits? In 3.4.x there where quite some URL options, it seems most of them are no longer required in 4.0.x or detected automatically. Does changing http to https affect the SEO cache somehow? Th…

Just upgraded our forum to 4. We use different membership management software so we don't allow signups via the IP signup form. Is there a way to redirect registrations and password resets other then a skin hack? I thought it IP 3 we had an admin setting for that rather then skin hacks? Thanks!
