Someone registered to my paid forum and they never paid their invoice. I have deleted their id and was left with the invoice as a result. When I saw expired invoice assigned to the guest I wanted to deleted it. It gave me an error and now I am getting the heading " A configuration or server error has occurred" and below "EX0 -something went wrong, Please try again." when going into to the "invoices" section in commerce. I opened up a ticket for it, as I found no post with similar issue. I guess the learning was to delete the invoice first and then the id. I think. Nevertheless executing "delete" button should not cause configuration issue. This is of course a bug and th…

I've noticed that in the new version of IPS it's harder to type multiple emoticons in a row like that: . And some emotional visitors of my forum used to like to type tens of smilies in a row. In IPB3 it was easy but in IPS4 this pop-up window with smilies tend to disappear too quick. As far as I understand, the easiest way is to make some custom HTML buttons with code like this: < img title=":lol:" alt=":lol:" src="xxxxxx/uploads/emoticons/default_icon_lol.gif" /> Is there any other way? For instance, to prevent the pop-up window from disappearing to quick. Thanks

hi I have mixed members some of which are "business members" and some "non-business members". Is it possible to hide a profile field for the non-business members ( namely the website URL) as they have no need for it. Thanks if you can help, or it might be a custom job.

Hi, I have recently switched over from SMF 2.0.9 to IBS Boards 3.4.8. I have IPS successfully installed, but I am having problems getting the converter installed. I have the files uploaded and unzipped in my FTP, and yet it is not showing up on the right hand side under "manage applications". Is there some trick to changing permissions that I need to do? Not sure what else would be needed for you to know to help me. I'm kinda at a dead end on this.

Hello Community, My registration configuration is set so that new users that register have to be approved by an Administrator first. Everytime I approve a new member he/she gets their group automatically changed from Guest to Member. I however, have content on my forum that shouldn't directly be available for them. So everytime after I approved them I also have to edit their profile and assign them a new group that has less permissions than a regular member. I call this group 'Registered Guest'. Is there a way to change the group the button assigns the user when I hit "Approve"? Thanks in advance

I haven't seen this mentioned on the forum or in the bugtracker in the last months so I'm curious about this issue I'm having and if a solution is planned to be released. If I choose "Prev Week" in View New Content and click on a page number I don't get returned results from that week but just the present week. I'm using these filters in View New Content: Topics Filter results by forums Weekly view (or monthly)

Hello, if you look under the primary rank http://puu.sh/jcvBi/2e49ce8621.jpg In this case project lead, how does this community add multiple rank images? I'm using a plugin that I paid for and it seems to just break the permissions upon adding a secondary group. Thanks!

Hi I love the staff view link now added into 4.0 but it would be great if I didn't actually show the admin ( or at least certain of them) as many of them are developers working on the site and not for the site as someone to contact or even view. I will be having other staff that members can see and contact if needed Is this possible please? Many thanks if you can help

I've got my categories within the articles set to "Post a topic to the specific forum each time a new record is added" and "Comments will be posted as replies". The post is indeed made and replies are posted in the forum. However I was expecting those comments to be visible from the article as well, but it seems that this is not the case. Is this correct?

Hello support, I've already posted that question at the clients area but they told me it's better doing it here. Next week I'll do another try to convert my vb to ipb4. At the end of every conversion process I had to set all the permissions for the different forums and user groups. Due to the fact that we have over 120 forums and 25 usergroups it was always a lot of work to set the permissions. Some forums and usergroups have the same permissions. Can I speed that up to copy rights from one forum/usergroup to the other or is there no built in feature to do that like we had in vbulletin? Thanks in advance for a feedback.

If I require guests to login before they can see content , then i lose the social links. Social links are extremely important at this time , so how do i get people to register and not just surf my site and keep the social links. Why would they register if all the content is available, I really need to find a solution by preventing people from watching content without registering , but also keeping the social links please

I don't seem to be receiving registration emails or message via the Contact Us feature since I upgraded to 4.0.10.2. New users are also not receiving confirmation emails when they sign up to validate their account. What is the solution here?
