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.

Using the translation tool "View word keys?" I have found that the system is prepared to show a description text under Topic Title: I would like to add a text to this language key. But in the "AdminCP > Customization > Languages" I cannot find any entry for topic_title_desc, even under the default English translation. How to add it? Thanks!

Hello, Currently installed 4.0 and during the progress of setting up my new shine board! I saw a cool option called... Questions Users can ask questions that other users can post answers to. Answers can then be rated by other users and the highest rated answers are shown first. So I clicked it and set that topic up! When I went to check on that topic to see how it worked their was nothing their? So the big question is here... how do I set up that type of topic? as I can't add questions to that forum if it's not showing up? the problem is corrected! not sure how it just showed up after while weird.

Now that the bbcodes are gone I see youtube embeds by just providing a link in the post area. I've noticed an issue, how do you do the same with dailymotion.com videos? If I paste a link the video never embeds.

CKEditor integration with IPB is excellent and I love the "Add Code" functionality and code syntax highlighting. However, the default code modes are HTML, CSS, PHP and JS, all very sensible choices but I need to add LISP syntax highlighting for my board. I see that CKEditor is compatible with a number of highlighters and I'm guessing that the default on IPB is Prettify, which doesn't support LISP. But CKEditor is also cmpatible with highlight.js, which does support LISP. So, my question is: how do I switch to highlight.js and add a LISP mode to the options on the editor?

Hi! I test upgraded my forum and i think there is an issue regarding the images that are in the posts. When i click i dont get them to show in lightbox but on a new tab. If i insert a new image then it shows up ok. If i edit the post and remove/ add again the inserted image then it works again. Is there any easy fix on this?

Can UserID #1 primary group not be changed on a fresh install? The only option for primary I have available is Administrator. This was a conversion from myBB 1.8 -> IPB 3.4.7 -> IPS 4. Am I missing a setting somewhere? I'm wanting to keep the Administrator group as Administrator, but change my primary to Site Owner (which is a copy of the Administrator group).

Hi Guys, so I've upgraded to the latest 4.0 Version. A few questions though: Why isn't the like button not showing next to each post? I cannot find a setting to enable this feature below the avatar picture the profile fields gender and interests are being listed - is there a way to turn it off (besides converting the skin to full manual mode and editing the template) Thanks for your help!

Hi I'd like to find a free responsible tabs script that would be compatible with IPB 4.0 (IP Content now Page) and that doesn't mess up the default skin. I have tried a few but they all use bootstrap and when I apply it in a page my website layout becomes broken. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I submitted a support ticket, but I do not expect to get an answer any time soon due to holidays and the timezone difference (ID: 920659). Bord url: www."domain".com/community Version: IPB4, latest as of writing Using CloudFlare Whenever I get to the point in the installations where it create the database etc, it just redirects to the root url, www.domain.com. Looking through the requests, it looks like it is making a http request which is being redirected which gives a 302 status. I have tried removing htaccess files which potentially could cause this issue. I tried enabling developer mode on Cloudflare, and combining it with removing the .htaccess file.…

I want to make a very small piece of css about the site of the submit topic button, that has an icon,color,text. <--- pretty easy. But i also want to tie it to a number value. The css should change depending on the number value. So if value is between a and b show code 1 - If value is between b and c show code 2 etc. With an option for clicking a button on it, or within a thread to increase the number value. And then have it reset daily. ^^ The reason for this would be to create a kind of alert system based on the collective emotion of my forum members, So if i made the button on topic to a genre, for example end of the world genre. The userbase could discuss the conte…
