So i upgraded to ipb4 about 6 days ago. the background process started and was moving at what seemed a normal pace then after about 3 hours hit a point were it pretty much doesn't move at all. Over the past 6 days its moved 2 percent for the 3 bars that are moving in the background process. if i click run manually it starts to run it normally for about 2 minutes then gets stuck in some sort of loop where it just refreshes and shows the '>' symbol were it should say what it's processing. This is annoying because the forum is down unil the background process is complete and it looks like it will be down for over a week. (ill also note we have 470k members and just as man…

In the ACP, I have changed the search type to Sphinx. Server address is 127.0.0.1 listening on port 3313. I have taken the sphinx.conf file and placed it in the forum root directory and started sphinx: searchd --c /home/whadmin/public_html/sphinx.conf and it starts up fine. When I click "rebuild index" in the ACP I get an error "EX1064 Something went wrong. Please try again." It doesn't appear that the sphinx.conf file is complete compared with 3.4

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…

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
