Post feed on the homepage sidebar, this is what I see..... What's with that? Is now displaying properly. No idea why. I have a user reporting issues with IE11 though, which is why I even contemplated using it to check out my forum. Am asking him to provide further information.

Hope someone can explain why this happens. If I copy the globalTemplate (Themes >> edit html/css >> templates >> globalTemplate) into new page of IP.Pages (not using Suite wrapper) why can I not use the block manager on left when viewing Page in browser The block manager 'slides out' but am unable to move any blocks into the areas, am assuming there must be something else required to enable blocks to move ? Reason am not using the suite wrapper option is because want to remove some of the items that show in the globalTemplate Hope the above makes sense ?

I put a 'post feed' on the sidebar, to effectively replace my old 'latest posts' plugin from 3.4.6 The problem is that it doesn't seem to be updating very quickly at all, in fact somebody just posted something and it took literally 5 minutes to update with that post. I'm a bit cheesed off as I sought assurances that 4.0 has the functionality to have a 'latest posts' thing on the sidebar. Is there a way to make this faster, like update every 30 seconds or something?

Is "Followed Content" widget no longer available or am I just missing it? It's easily the most requested feature from my users since the upgrade to 4.0. Having content you're following that has new posts show up in the top right was the best way for people to keep on top of content they're most interested in.

Not sure what is going on here ... I'm currently developing my IPB community (4.0.10.2) and have the community set for off-line (i.e. only admin can access with password). That being said, I just looked at the "online users" page and see four other "guests" and feel a little weirded out as there shouldn't be anyone else on the website with current settings. They are not in a specific page (i.e. my user name indicates that I'm "Viewing Online Users List") and the IP address for all current 4 guests start of with the same 7 numbers (i.e. xxx.xx.xx.___) Can anyone provide insights as to what might be going on and or what to do with this? Much appreciated! (PS - as I finish …

Upgrading from 3 -4 I went to upgrade my site today, but have hit some snags Step 2 – system check PHP Requirements Your PHP memory limit is set to 64 MB but should be set to 128M or more. You should contact your hosting provider or system administrator to ask for this to be changed. MySQL Requirements You are running MySQL version 5.0.95. You need MySQL 5.1.3 or above (5.6 or above recommended). You should contact your hosting provider or system administrator to ask for an upgrade.

Hi there, whatever of my forums or posts urls I analyze for example with http://web-sniffer.net – I get a "Status: HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently". The .htaccess of community is AddHandler php55-cgi .php <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> Options -MultiViews RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /community/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /community/index.php [L] </IfModule>For blog entries for example the status is ok. IPB is 3.4. What could be the problem? Greetings Claudia

I have noticed in my members table in the database that some member_id's are missing and I cannot understand why. It should be aoutincrementing the member_id for each new member but in this table I have somenthing like this: member_id | name | ... 3589 nameA 3588 nameB 3587 nameC 3585 nameD 3584 nameE 3583 nameF So where is the member_id "3586"? Our members have not the possibility to unsign the forum, so why I have so many member_id missing in my members table? Is the same in your forum? Thanks!

So I have popular image galleries on my site. The problem is that members can spend an hour browsing the photos without ever refreshing the ads. This isn't a good design. I would like to have an ad display along with each image impression. How would I go about including it? I toyed around with the code a bit, and I can get an ad to display, but then when the "next image" button is pushed a blank page loads.
