Now there is another member here that I have talked to, and I bet if I asked her, she would have this same issue. Anyways a Demon has taken over my forum and likes to drive my members insane. Todays, craziness? Either I update my rules to reflect that 1/2 the members must tag with caps and the other 1/2 with lower case, or I fix the issue. Anyone here willing to challenge a demon? Any exorcists around?

Limiting something to only specific member groups Returning a member name (the member who is logged in) I knew how to do this on 3.4.8 but I'm not a coder and I'm having trouble figuring it out.

When creating a new forum you get the option to upload an icon, but not to set one from Font Awesome. Maybe I'm missing something, but I thought that was the point of Font Awesome?? Thanks

Hi, we found out that a moderator edit of any gallery entry changes the owner of the gallery. Is this a bug or a "feature"?

My question relates to externally linked images. It may be that I'm missing something, or is it that settings don't have any effect on externally linked posted images. As can be seen I have the limit set to 700px, but members are posting images at 1000px that aren't being resized.

Hello, how can I change the shown date of a topic in the topic widget that it shows the date of the last post and not of the topic start? This makes more sense for me and the community. Also it would be great to show the username of the last poster and not the topic starter. Thanks in advance for any help.

Just wondering if anyone else has issues with double posting from members? My moderators tell me about the amount of double post clean ups that they do, and I just had an other member ask about it in my site question forum. I am wondering if might just be my issue, or do others run into this as well? This here is a quote from the member that just posted the question.

Last two days my server is crashing. What happens is there are some rarely ran queries that completely freeze my server. This particular forum has 15 million posts. Usually there is no problem at all, but when this query comes up it runs for a very long time, and the IOSTAT Util% goes to 100% causing everything else to start to queue up being unable to access the harddisk. Even visiting other webpages on the server becomes impossible. I know the best solution would be to upgrade to SSD drives, but that isn't immediately possible. Can anyone identify what this query is doing and is it something I can disable? I have already disabled activity stream. | 539 | localhost | E…

Hi guys, I created a Video Database on our site where everyone is allowed to submit a youtube video. Thus, a lot of database records (a database record is only a youtube video) are stored after a while. So far so good. We want to allow our guests to brows through the whole database and get entertained by the videos provided. (1.) Now comes the part where I need your help: Is there a way to create a button letting users jump to a random database record (video)? I thought about a php way with counting the items stored in the database and select a random number out of the count as the ID. But this won't work cause of every ID is unique and after deleting a post the video…

Hello, Let me first explain the context : I own a private forum, which content is exclusively reserved to the members who followed the formation I purpose in real life. So it is very important to me that the content remains exclusively for the people I allowed. Here comes the issue : some dishonest people give their Ids and passwords to their friends, so that they can also access my forum whereas they've never been allowed to. It is dangerous for my business so I would like to know if there is an option to prevent several people to connect on the same account. (maybe linked to IP adress I don't know) Kind regards.

I've created a group, which would identify a member as a business, which gives the user extra permissions. It's free to be a member of the group, and an admin needs to allow them to be a member (ie. check they really are a business), but is there a method of a user requesting to join a group? Or would they just need to message an admin? Thanks Steve

Hi, I am developing a custom login handler, according to this document,https://community.in...n-handlers-r97/. I create a plugin called "example", with an "example.php", which extends\IPS\Login\LoginAbstract. But I don't know how to access my new login handler. I want my game players to visit the forum with their game accounts. We embed a link in our game, with an url to access my custom login handler. I think it may look like: http://sw.invisionzo...=xxx&pass=yyy I don't know how to get the url , and how to use this handler. I am not sure is it supported to custom login like this. I think I would better explain my request more. I want to integrate a button cal…
