Does anyone know if there is a setting or a way to add user photo next to their username in Chat? My users have all asked for this as the chat can get busy at times and it's hard for users to tell each other apart quickly.

As the title suggests, is there a way to not include gallery images as part of the approved content list (posts, replies, etc.) for automatic group promotion?

When someone comes to my board and isn't registered (as what I'm calling a "member") they see this text next to the member area and it's VERY misleading. If I was NOT a member and saw this I'd think: "There's nothing here, why become a member..." Am I missing something here? Alternative question: How do I change that message. You can see this directly at: http://www.iawipforums.com Thanks in advance for ideas, work-arounds, fixes. Chris Jaeger

The IPS lightbox in version 4 is sligtly different from version 3. Version 3 documentation is here: https://www.invisionpower.com/support/guides/_/advanced-and-developers/user-interface/using-lightbox-r197 To trigger the lightbox on version 4 we have to use 'data-ipslightbox', and not the "rel='lightbox'" anymore. But how to add multiple images on the lightbox to trigger the 'before' and 'after' buttons?

Can someone provide some help regarding how to setup email on a VPS for IPB? I have no experience setting this up. I have successfully installed IPB onto my site, which is running an Ubuntu 14.04 VPS with nginx. My DNS setup is that I'm with Namecheap and have just pointed A records to the IP, but I'm not familiar with how to configure email for this. What do I need to do from here to get IPB + emails working on my server? EDIT: I figured it out - though I'm having an odd problem getting the same setup working on my main VPS.

I submitted a ticket to IPS already, but figured they won't get to it for some time, so I was hoping someone here could help me with this. I've had 3 members, in the past 2 days, report they are not able to download any files from my downloads system, while on their mobile device. They can download just fine from a desktop site though. All users are on Android 5.0+, using Google Chrome as their browser. I had one of them record a video of the issue they are experiencing, as I am not able to replicate it:https://youtu.be/GA-kYqUmiOw WhenI tested, everything works just fine. User testing for me, reported they were able to download a file, with Firefox, using request des…

Hi. New to IP Board and I see this option for Support in my main navigation. But when I click on it I get an error message as follows: The page you are trying to access is not available for your account. Is this not part of my package? Is this something I have to turn on? It looks like it's sort of a built-in support / help desk - which is awesome and what I need (in addition to the forums). http://iawip.ipbhost.com/ Thanks in advance for guidance, support, help on this.

When the legacyParser rebuilds earlier posts half of the time is spent by HtmlPurifier in two calls that are made in system/Text/parser.php. Any particular issues that've caused you to do this? Do you consider both calls really necessary? public function parse( $value ) { /* HTMLPurifier - remove bad stuff and make sure HTML is well formed */ if ( $this->htmlPurifier !== NULL ) { $value = $this->htmlPurifier->purify( $value ); } ... /* HTMLPurifier again, to catch anything bad from bbcodes */ if ( $this->htmlPurifier !== NULL ) { $value = $this->htmlPurifier->purify( $value ); }

My users are having issues since the 4.x upgrade where they click to reply to a post or create a new topic and 30 seconds will pass before the action completes. I didn't have this issue on 3.x and my server resource utilization is very low. Is there a setting or something I should look into?

The title says it all, I completely misunderstood this portion of the 4.0 upgrades and now our entire community shows emails as default display names, is there anyway to do a global change to show the old display names instead of emails? Thanks for any help.
