Hi all, I am creating a custom site and (oddly enough) I need to completely disable the profile area of the software. Anyone know of a way to do this? Ideally I would like all the links to someones profile to redirect to a custom profile page outside of the forum but cant seem to get the .htaccess anywhere near working. Any help out there at all? Many thanks.

My users are saying that the forum is not remembering where they left off and is always taking them back to the first post in any thread? Is there a way to make it work like it in 3.4 or is that something that hasn't been implemented yet?

What components make up the CSRF key for the logout code? In 3.4 it was a combination of a few member items encrypted in md5. I need to create a logout key for sections of my site out side the forum.

I submit a support ticket already but as I'm waiting I'm going to see if the community at large has had this issue too. I upgraded my community to 4.0.1 last night and everything seems to be working fine (except for a few things that I also submitted about but these have to do with Pages, not the forum) and now I can't post new topics. I can reply, just not create a new topic. Things I've already done: Verified Permissions Checked for errors in the logs (it's not generating an error at all). Verified that it's not just my account (tried from a member account as well as a moderator account). Went through IPS troubleshooter I only have one third party application at the mom…

Hi We plan to convert to IPB 4 several forums under punbb 1.3.4 We also know some large communities running punbb 1.3.4 planning to convert to IPB 4 So i have two questions : 1) the IPS4 converter will include punbb 1.3.4 ? (as IPS 3.4.7 did) 2) for a punbb community that we already converted to IPB 3.4.7 and then to IPB 4, will it be possible to add redirections from old topics to new ones ? or too late ? Tx !

What do I put it under, do I mess with the "parent" settings, Also how do I enable the status thing o the right side where you can post your status? These are some of the many features I'd like to know how to do. here's some more pictures of what I'm trying to achiev…
