We have CDN enabled in our IPB Forum general settings but now we need to change some CSS styles. What is the approach to disable loading the CSS from the CDN network? And then, when enabled again do we need to re-distribute the changed files? Thank you,

Hello all, I was in the ACP, and wanted to know what the Designer Mode did. I clicked that button, and it completely removed all styling from my forum, and broke it. I can't turn it off in the ACP, since the ACP design is broken as well. Is there a file or SQL value that I can edit to disable designer mode? I can't find where to turn it off at all. I am running RC6. Thanks!

I need to know what the possibilities are for setting up individual subforums on their own subdomain (in my case this will be one subdomain for each country). Is this technically straightforwards and if so, can it be achieved without a licence for each subdomain (obviously that would make the endeavour ridiculously cost prohibitive).

Is it me but each successive release seems to bring on more issues. In Beta I could convert from 3.4.7 on my test board with no major issues just a few bugs. Now from RC4 to RC6 I can't even convert the same board as the installation does not complete. I made a very BIG mistake in updating my live board at RC3 to find that the same board which ran fine under Beta has major issues with images not loading. I am now in a BAD place, support seems to be non existent and overnight the CKeditor simply stopped loading despite not having implemented any changes. So my board in effect is useless no images and no posting capability. Having run successive boards with IPB for over 10 …

Someone brought to my attention today that edit does not work. I tried it both on my test forum and my live forum and they are right, you cannot edit a post. I did not see a bug reported.

Hi everyone ! I'm currently trying out IPS4 RC6 in order to know if I will switch my 3.4.x board to it, and how it will go if I do it. One of my main area of concern is friendly URLs. My current board is pretty old, with many URLs that need to stay the way they are so that we don't lose too much SEO and don't need to do too many 301s. So I've been playing a bit with the friendly URLs settings to see if I can get the same structure as before, and it works pretty well. The only thing that bothers me is that on IPS4 the slug generated for my URLs contains accented character instead of the non-accented equivalent I have currently in my URL, and since my board is in french it …

I need access to an old bug post is that possible? I need to revert a change that bfarber posted once. It was regarding YT videos being posted as hyperlinks, and there was not an exact fix, there was two ways you could do it, and to get it to work the way I wanted, he posted a file edit, and now the bug section is gone. Thanks

It is being debated in other forums,but what is the official line on making CSS edits. Are all edits suppose be placed only in the custom.css file. If so why is editing of other CSS files allowed? It is being stated that any CSS edits made will always be over written on code upgrade. This is in contradiction to what I have been advised. What is the IPS proper procedure?

Are there any docs to show how to move folders, right now I have /forum/ and I want to rename that /community/ Now my forum is not yet live. Also I want to rename the word forums(/forum/forums) in the url to chat, so the url with all the changes would look like this http://testmyurl.com/community/chat, would I change that in Advanced Configuration and Friendly URL? Along with .htaccess and conf_global.php Thanks!
