Is there anyway we can find out what members contributed to our forum over a given period of time. For example, I'd like to know who contributed content in the last 30 days. I have looked in the Statistics area in the acp and nothing seems to fit what I need to know. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey all, I recently installed the Ckeditor 'Contextmenu' plugin. However, now I want to remove it, I can't seem to find a way to. I removed the folder from the plugins folder, but the plugin is still active. This particular plugin does not have a button either, so I can't disable it by permissions. Help?

Hi guys, I updated this night from 3.4.8 to 4.0.12. In the old Forum I had a mobile skin with a different analytics code from the desktop one. How could I set the new (and single) skin to load different scripts if the user is on desktop or mobile (phone and tablet)? I tried with <code><div class="ipsClearfix ipsResponsive_showDesktop ipsResponsive_hideTablet ipsResponsive_hidePhone"></code> But it does not work Thanks!

Could anyone tell me which CSS class defines 1.5 interval in the post message box? When I type a message and press ENTER I don't need these 1.5 intervals in text. (I know that one can simply press SHIFT+ENTER but still) Thanks

Hi, Is it possible to change the date of field registration field? On a mobile device it's not very intuitive and hard to grasp for the users. Try to change the year from 2015 to 1980 yourself. Best, Stig

So, turns out I'm not as bright as I would like to be. I'm using the beta shoutbox application for v4. I'm trying to move it to the top of the homepage. A picture is worth a 1000 words. Here is what I'm trying to do. Right now, I managed to get the shoutbox installed with setting my computer on fire, so...winning so far. But it's set by default to be accessed by a shoutbox link on the top navigation toolbar. Any pointers for someone who doesn't really know what it is he's trying to do?

I seem to be having some sort of file upload and download issue using the Downloads Feature on my Forum. I made some changes to one of my PDF manuals recently and so I did the "update a new version" option in Downloads...the file is 9megs in size but it keeps somehow getting corrupted and only 900kb is getting uploaded. I've tried re-uploading it many times, renaming the pdf and even deleting the file and starting again...nothing seems to work. I'm not sure what happened as when I uploaded the original file I had no issues. I can upload straight to the server (and folder) using FTP with no issues. I can upload anything up to 9mb with no issue...9mb and over it wont do it…

I have not yet upgraded to v4, and have a question I currently have a rotating banner ad system I wrote in my header. it randomly selects three of my merchants from my own database tables and displays their image and link. I added this to the code and it has worked great. In moving to v4 I know would rather using existing features instead of coding this to work with the new systems. Is there a system native to v4 that can do this without having to muck with coding? the site is www.kiltsrock.com thanks! KT

Can someone else who has "Rewrite URLs" enabled and IPS is installed in a subdirectory just double-check that you can still access System -> Search Engine Optimization after upgrading to 4.0.12.1? I now get an EX0 error (no entry in error log). I can reproduce on a clean install. As soon as I enable Rewrite Urls (and install the htaccess) that page starts to error. The settings is still working, my URLs are working ok, but the ACP page is now inaccessible.

When the proper email address is used in lieu of display name log in, and when the proper password is entered, and the log in attempt is made, an error message of : (The password you entered is incorrect.

Hi guys, I am using this: {expression="$member->pp_reputation_points/$member->member_posts"} to calculate the average "likes" per post, but it shows an exact number, such as for example 12,9984725374. Is there any way to round this number to a more readable format?
