I can't find this anywhere... but is/has there been a converter from IPB 3 to IPB 4 that converts topics / posts / forums? On a side note... I apologize for posting in the wrong section (if it is).

When I sign in my board after I put my credentials it stays in the sign in page, but in the top it says community home, some members are confuse and they say they can't sign in. Is there a fix for that?

Lot's of people like to embed YouTube videos on my site. I am not sure of the proper way to do it. Many of the videos I see are just links, not the actual video. Sometimes when I try I paste the link, wait 5 seconds and it shows up, then I submit the post. If I want to type text after the video and I paste the YouTube link, then hit return to type a message, it only inserts the link. The behaviour seems erratic. What is the intended way for us to insert videos that will work consistently? Thanks

Memcached is installed on my server and IPS recognizes that it is installed. I've tried both localhost IP (aka 127.0.0.1) for the IP and my actual IP address of the server but IPS does not seem to be accepting it. Plus tried with port 11211 and without a port and still nada. IPS doesn't seem to accept anything, any suggestions?

I "upgraded" to RC5 last night, I cannot believe the number of errors I am getting. I submitted some of these as a ticket, but here are just a few of the issues I am having. Many people have reported these errors, almost all of them in IE. If you open Notifications all you see is the spinner. IE or Chrome.If you click Sign Up in IE, you get this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined method IPS\Theme\class_core_front_system::register() in/home/squarewh/public_html/applications/core/modules/front/system/register.phpon line 142If you go to a forum and select a different page it just leaves you on page 1, then eventually goes back to the forum homepage.If you are reading a p…

Hi, I found this documentation about IPS Connect: https://www.invisionpower.com/support/guides/_/advanced-and-developers/integration/ips-connect-r27 but I think that is for the version 3.x ... or is it valid for the version 4 too? Thank you!

my site presents the following error continuously. Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 209715200 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32 bytes) in /home/sitename/public_html/system/Patterns/ActiveRecord.php on line 107 and the worst is that it is not public, only I'm using, so I do not have user load. What I have to do? Any ideas?

Has anyone been able to tie in Commerce more seamlessly from their main site? I have paid subscriptions on my forum and a landing page on the main part of my site. I want to be able for the end user to add to cart from my landing page, I find it a mess to have them go through so many clicks: add to cart, continue to register, checkout and then they have to click on "Continue as a new member", including my lander button, that is 5 steps! I want to cut it down to 1 step, subscription listed on the top(what they are paying for) & the check out form on the bottom. Has anyone done something similar? If you are wondering why not just send them direct, because IPS althoug…

In 3.4, there was a little "x" you could click to make the sidebar go away on the home page. On version 4, I can't figure out how to make the sidebar go away.

I cleaned up a bunch of silly Member Groups that I created. Did I delete the Banned group my mistake, or was that removed when I upgraded? If I removed it, is it as simple as adding it back? Does this interact with the spam service?

1. I recently demoted one of my mods back down to normal member position but he can still see the Moderator forum. I saw his name inside one of the threads. Yet I checked his usergroups and neither of his groups can actually have access to that forum. 2. All members see a link to the moderator CP regardless if they are staff or not. Only staff can actually see what is in Moderator cp but how can I stop them all from seeing it? What is causing this.
