We have about 4k members who paid. About 1100 of those were purchased less than a year ago. It looks like Renewals was left off or subsequently turned off. So I think that was done because it assumed it would auto renew and charge people. Not sure what happened exactly. Everyone is still in the Member user group. Will activating Renew and setting parameters in there trigger something to revert them to the previous group? It will generate invoices, not auto charge them... Anything I am not asking? Thanks Jamie

Hi, We are moving our forum to another server at the moment. Despite most of the import seem to be going well we are experiencing an issue on one page. We managed to load Admin panel after migration but then when we tried the Admin Panel > Something is not working correctly we ended up with a broken page showing the text on the attached file. We used to have support available via email I believe but seems like it's been removed and only option is to open a topic here? Could you please provide support to help us? Import issue.txt

We installed the maintenance update a few days ago and now our Calendar application is missing. It shows in the ACP under System/SiteFeatures/Applications as version 4.7.3, the same as our Forums and Downloads. However, it is just not showing up on the board.

Our forum is www.ourdomain.com and I'd like to get rid of the www in the address bar so it's just ourdomain.com. I tried using the change licensed URL button in the client area, and it said it was reset and to enter the license key into the forum, but the forum wouldn't let me enter the license key again, and the client area shows the domain with the www again already. I tried using .htaccess to redirect anyone who visited www.ourdomain.com to ourdomain.com, but the forum just tries to redirect them back to www and it causes a 500 error from too many redirects.

I am not sure if it is a feature (in which case I don't understand it) or a setting but when I want to post, I immediately see the field filled with my previous post that might have been 24 hours before. It is confusing me, and I am wondering how to get rid of that, why it is that way, and if members have the same thing. Can you help?

Is there a way to restrict guests from searching Members? We have a hacker who keeps looking for members who have never posted; then hacking into their account and posting spam. We've tried using the 'bad word filter' to block some words that are always used in these posts, but they just sail right through them. Is there some key to using the bad word filters that we are missing? Thanks for any advice you can give.

Hi all! If I hide a thread, can the thread creator still see it or not? (and my reply if I did reply) Or is the thread hidden for all except Admin/moderator?

In a database record when the title is about 120 characters the link that comes with the email redirects at the home page. At the same record if we shorten the title it works as expected. Of course with titles with smaller character count we don`t have any problem. The issue remains from 4.6.11

I am seeing this error code and the message "Oops! The area you are attempting to access is currently offline. Please try again later." when trying to access my main forum page. I can still see the All Activity page but not the actual forums page. This is since upgrading to the latest version. Any idea how I can resolve this?

I have not been able to upgrade my IP, issues going from php 7.4 to 8.1. So I'm starting from scratch to see if I can resolve those issues first, then see if I can upgrade or if I'll just have to manually move everything over. Starting from scratch, I get the following error: If I check my PHP Extensions it shows gd is selected: When I submitted a ticket to my host they said it is enabled already. I am not sure what I'm missing or how to proceed from here now.

Greetings, At least twice now, all the clubs on my forum (and there are quite a few) have been updated with the same exact "Last Activity" timestamp. This makes sorting the clubs by Latest Activity worthless. As the admin, I am not doing anything that would cause this, nor is anyone else. I saw another thread where someone stated this was happening as well, back in September: Here's a screenshot from my forum, showing a page full of clubs that all have the exact same update time and date: Would certainly like to know why this is happening, I assume it's a bug of some sort, especially as it's happened to at least one other member here. Thank…

We just added our new test url according to instructions and launched the forum on the final version on our test url. We are working to move from old server to this new server and one issue we are having is that the theme is not working properly. I wanted to install an alternative theme to try and wanted to sign in to marketplace. When I try to login I am not getting authorised. Could you please help?

Is there any new function added lately to highlight the unread topic as displayed in this help support forum feed? I have been using a plugin for the same job for years, so wondering if IPS has added that functionality now, would love to know how to switch it on, please.

Our members lately have been getting email notifications that they have replies to their topics, all is well there, but within the email it also states they should visit the topic and mark an answer with a solution. This is odd as these forums do not have "Solved" enabled. This is confusing to many. See screen shot below from reporting member. There at this point several reporting this issue.
