I'm just curious if the physical address has to be displayed to everyone. It seems its hard coded in order to use EasyPost ad a shipping API, but I run my business from home. I'd rather not publicly display that information to customers. It seems the only other option would be to use a PO Box. But that would disable functionality of other postage services with EasyPost.

As an admin I can go into AdminCP to locate the spamming member then press the "Delete Content" button to delete all the spam ever posted by this user. If I log in with ModeratorCP no such function exists. Is there a way I can let my moderators do it? While on this topic, I was wondering why it takes so long for the "Delete Content" to take effect. Last time I tried it took about 15 minutes.

e.g For this example theme.header_image1 is set to a resource link: {resource file="" ..... } {{if theme.header_image1}}<img src='{theme="header_image1"}' alt='Header Image'/>{{endif}}In this instance, it won't retrieve the file from the resource identifier it will literally try to load the string "{resource file="" ..... }" I assume this is a back to front parsing issue

I saw we had an EasyPost plugin available, but it kind of bums me out that we have to input our Physical Address. I run a business online, from home. I don't want to give that information to people. There's also no option to input an address that isn't publicly visible, it breaks the plugins calculations..

It seems that after upgrading to IPS4 there is a lot of broken content before the background processes have completed -- e.g. posts that used bbcode not displaying properly due to formatting not having been updated. The problem is that the background tasks take days to complete at best. "IPS\core\Messenger\Message" has to go through 1.9 billion entries. Although I realise background processes are designed to do just that -- run in the background -- the formatting errors will be a significant annoyance to our forum's members if they are to last for at least several days before they are rectified in addition to the continuous server load during that period. Taking down t…

Long story short, I (or IPB) accidentally deleted an unknown amount of users when pruning accounts that had 0 posts. Now those posts state 'Guest'. i thought I thought could tell all the posts that were written by a certain member by looking up their IP, but this info is not correct. One person I looked up who I know had over 300 posts, only showed the IP of having 10 posts. If the person registered on the forum again, and was able to go through and tell me exactly which posts were theirs, is there any way to assign a 'Guest' post to a member? Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do about this? Thank you.

Is it safe or a normal practice to have quote characters in a topic URL when the title is surrounded by quote characters? Like this: http://www.example.com/topic/155678-„the-topic-title“/

Yesterday I switched from Bluehost shared pro to Bluehost Wordpress hosting. They warned me the forum could have problems working. I tried and everything works for already logged in users. However, if you are logged out and try to log in, you can't login in any way. Everything else works. Is this really a compatibility problem or maybe something related to the IP change or something else? Thanks

Is it possible to rename "Existing user? Sign In" to Login and Sign up to Register at the top of the site? If yes, where should I be looking? And is it possible to "merge" +Create with Notifications, Messages and Reported Content (that removes the divider between them)?

Hi Ive added a profile field checkox set whereby I want members to check a box for which County they live in the UK. I added a checkbox set listing lots of Counties ( to test) but it appears they are able to tick/check more than one. How can I prevent this so they can only tick/check one? Thanks if you can help

For example, I posted a new thread. I went back and edited a few words after realizing I could have explained the issue better, and clicked 'save'. Upon reviewing the updated thread it was marked as 'Featured'. I've seen other threads have this as well, and they do not meet the criteria to be 'featured' and reviewing the moderator logs were not 'featured' manually by myself or other staff. Anyone else experiencing this?

I want to post a link that takes the user to: "steam://connect/oxidenetwork.com:27016" but the editor always makes the link "null". I was looking for the button that says "source" but that doesn't show up when I go to edit database entries but it does show up when I make WYSIWYG blocks. Is there some way I can get "source" to show or even better some way to make that link work properly?

I thought it used to be that your moderator group could see IP's of posters, but not of that admins. It looks like in 4.x they can see the admins ip's as well, is there a setting to change this?

Hi there, I've just upgraded to IPS4 and I'm having an issue using the advertisements function. I've put in one of my Adsense banners (which works on another site I run) in to display after the first post. The code is showing when I view source, the page has cleared the space, but the ad is not displaying - see here for an example http://www.weareperth.co.uk/wapforum/index.php?/topic/24212-celtic-v-saints-sat-29th-aug/ Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks, Jamie

Hello, I'm going to be attempting to bridge together a custom CMS and our V4 forum soon, and have been looking at the IPS Connect documentation. It mentions using GET parameters and returning status codes. I'm a very visual learner, and I was hoping someone could take a quick moment to write out some quick example code for simply communicating with a master IPS Suite and making sure the custom application successfully connects? From there, I will be able to reference the documentation and follow along better... I just need to see how something basic is done and I can apply it from there (after brushing up on my PHP a little bit). It would be greatly appreciated!

Once I converted to 4 and upgraded to a new server with oodles of RAM and SSD drive and have the database and site on the SSD I switched to memcache, and everyone was pleased with the speed and snappiness of the site. But the past week or so the site has been very sluggish and sometimes unresponsive or takes forever to load, I turned off memcache and went back datastore. And that seemed to bring the site back to tolerable speeds. What could be the cause of this slow down using memcache?
