After the most recent update to IPS 4.0.9 (I believe) I can't remember where to find it, the Featured Topic block seems to have gone away. I didn't create this custom. Anyone have any ideas on how to get this back?

Just where and what are the timezone options for version 4 ? is the site timezone linked to the locality choice in the language setting or is it always by default UTC ? if UTC by default then is there any way to change it ? I can edit as admin the timezone or timezones detection methods for individual members via the acp members table but members can't choose themselves their timezone or method ? is that right? apologies if already posted but can't find much info with search

Can the following be done: 1. Email dispatched when a moderator makes a comment on a report? 2. If a member reports a post and a moderator comments in the report can the member view the report or receive an email that a moderator commented on the report? Anytime a member reports something I usually make a comment "thanks! We've removed the post" and...they've never seen the reply lol

OK, I don't know exactly what the issue is... but when my location is displayed on my PostBit the Location and then the text are adjacent (and I mean immediately) to each other. I've looked through the language file to see if I could locate it, but there are several that use Location. I've tested changing the most obvious ones but it didn't resolve it. Where would it be changed at, or is this a bug? EDIT: OK.. think I figured out where it was.. it was in the Profile Fields as a Location custom field (brought in from the conversion from myBB?). What it took to fix it was apparently modifying the Display Format field for it to <span class='ft'>{titl…

Hey guys! I got my own community since 10 years now. I did a lot of designing, creating new stuff, coding stuff, uploading stuff, installing plugins and so on. My idea now was to install a totally fresh installation of IPB4 and try to convert only threads, users, avatars used, posts and so on, just in order to have a totally clean version of a new board. As I tried installing a testforum myself for IPB4 it told me that my license is already in use... which... lets say... makes total sense. So.. do you guys have any idea how to fix my stuff? Could I just upgrade to IPB4, delete all folders and just reupload the IPB4 folders that I unzipped? I don't want to mess up thi…

Hi Does anyone know how to manage a full message box in IP4. IS there a setting in admin where we can specify a message limit (seems to default to 250). Could we make it 500? Beyond, emptying the whole inbox, how does a member quickly delete messages to clean their box out? Many thanks, Si

Greetings, We have been using V3 of IPB for the last year and a half, and we were curious if the default member registration form in the new IPB V4 can be modified with custom fields in a similar fashion to what was accommodated in Members / Custom Profile Fields in V3. I have tried running a demo of IPB 4 but cannot seem to find any place where this is possible. Could someone confirm if that functionality has been removed from version 4 of the suite? Regards, Stafford

When i change the SMTP and use phpmail it is a lot faster. Does anyone know how I can improve this? Mandrill works very well for me and would be a shame to pull the plug on it.

Hi, anyone had something similar? When trying to upgrade the members on a 3.x board to 4.0 it fails with a " "Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails"" Now the question is, are there any logs for the upgrade process? As I do not really know which row/table was the problem? Thanks

My forums were severely hacked a few years ago. I would love to use the new version of IPB but would really like to at least recover the users from my old forums. Anyone know if this is possible? Invision support has not been much help thus far as we do not have the old forums files.
