I'm trying to upgrade to the latest version and get this message: Your license is currently inactive. You will need to renew before you can upgrade. I paid and did renew a few days ago but it's telling me otherwise. I've got an 8 day wait for cs to get back to me on this. Anybody know how to fix this? Thanks

What happens with the information from the Custom Profile Field after upgrading from 3.4 to 4.0.5? During the update process the old information from Custom Profile Field are lost or they are transferred / converted into the new version? Thanks for the clarification.

Ok, so on my forum, the Activity Feed on profiles is not displaying recent activity. "See My Activity" is not working either, but if I use a filter like "posts" it works fine but "All Activity" is empty. Am I missing something, or is something wrong with my install? We did convert from XenForo to IPB3.4.7 then to IPB4. Screenshots:

I've got an odd issue (already opened a ticket 915050) but was curious if anyone else had run across this problem before. The WYSIWYG editor is not loading at all. On replies to posts it looks like it attempts to load with the circle constantly spinning however on posting new topics it doesn't load at all (actually any place the editor is loaded). When attempting to upload a new theme I get a internal server error (non IPS error) and the error logs show: [Wed May 13 11:17:15 2015] [warn] (104)Connection reset by peer: mod_fcgid: error reading data from FastCGI server, referer: http://cuemu.com/admin/?adsess=0snorhkitah7ir8uspm4at35g3&app=core&module=customizati…

Hello, guys. I'm not starting a riot, just want to hear opnions of what can I do. Bought an APP on marketplace on 7th april called Google CSE Pro http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/6018-hq-google-cse-pro/ to use Google as default search in IPB 3.4.x The app didn't work since day 1... can't get a response from the creator via email, the official topic here or personal message. The installation instructions are pretty straightforward, no trouble here. From you guys, anyone got a problem like these before ? What you guys did to have your money back or the app working ?

What are the suggested file and folder permissions for hosting Invision Power Board 4 on Linux? Want to ensure my shiny new v4 IPB isn't hacked! There was an older article that outlined security of self hosting for previous IPB versions and I'm wondering if that is still applicable or if there is a new one created for version 4.

Hello, I hope I explain this detailed enough but we're having a rather strange issue where when I try and view any of the emails I receive from my forum (quotes, messages, new registrations etc) it freezes my outlook (Office 2013 - office 365 business) and seems to call for the Uploads directory of our forum. I'm sure it'll be permissions issues, but I would have thought they were OK as the installer went through fine. No other emails cause this issue ie viewing twitter emails or normal non forum emails. I've attached a screenshot - hopefully someone can help as it freezes for a good 2-3 minutes before displaying the email. PS - I'm a techie so already tried the whole…
