First, I'd like to request that the default built-in ban system allows users to still view the site, but removes the ability to interact with the community at all. This includes restricting posts, status updates, status replies, PMs, signature/avatar/cover photo changes, etc. Basically, there should be an option for bans to allow members to still view IP.Pages and IP.Forums as well. Just because you have to ban somebody does not mean your site should be completely off-limits to them. As a workaround, I've resorted to creating a banned member group. While I lack the ability to set unban dates and to view only all members that are banned, it seems this is the easiest w…

Commerce Application (I noted it also is the same for Customers -> Custom Fields) Member profiles In the second image options such as a regex and max length are available; I think these are valid assets to the Commerce plugin especially as we use one of these as an identifier for license key generation - when people submit it incorrectly we have to manually fix this before the key can be activated! So, giving product fields the same options as those in profiles would greatly benefit those who need the precision in getting the fields exactly in the correct format.

One feature I would really like to see is the ability to redirect members directly to their profiles when logging in. Perhaps not useful to everyone, but for those of us who run social communitys (meeting new friends, dating etc) it would be a treat! I want to be able to choose where a member is directed when they log in or register, if it's to the forums, to their profile or to some specific page. I use Pages as my starting page and when they log in or register there, that's where they end up and that's not really the best choice. Thanks

Hello team, please add the feature of related fields with dependencies in a future release. It would be a great step to have this essential db feature. i.e. I have a manufacturer field (related to db1) and a model field (related to db2). The available entries for the model field depend on the chosen entry of the manufacturer field.

Hello team, I'm looking for a feature to have blocks/widgets which can be dismissed. I know this kind of boxes from vb. It was a good feature to show any kind of information to the user without annoying them. The user could decide if he wanted to see this info again. I would really appreciate if you could implement those kind of boxes in a future release.

Seems like a bug, when someone responds to a bug, the bug report and the comment are both posted in the Unread Content feed.

Why can't you hyper link images with the link tool, this is very frustrating Apart from that I love everything else about the forums software and I think this is by far the number 1 forums software out there. Many thanks, G

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this little UX weirdness, searched the forum with no luck so let's try starting a new topic for it! I'd be surprised if no one else has noticed this issue. I did some blinde testing with several others in my office (all software designers and developers), and almost all of them had the exact same problem I did. When COPPA compliance is enabled and a new user begins the registration process, they will first be presented with a birthday verification step. The input disables manual entry at first and defaults to a pretty nice looking datepicker widget popup. The problem is that any changes in the datepicker are ONLY applied after…

As someone already mentioned, the editor in Pages is quite buggy making the edit window disappear, loosing the changes that have not yet saved and that's why I have to save the content frequently and reedit. Also today I've added several images from attachments but when I press the link button, nothing happens so I cant link those. I have to manually go to source and write linking code. Please check and fix.

User's post counter should decrease when post is hidden (and increased if they are unhidden). The same goes for topics, but in that case it should be applied to all post in the topic. The reason being, here we use the post/topic hide feature as a "soft delete", so in our install hidding a post/topic has the same effect, for the user, as deleting them. Cheers.

Hello, As an owner for a long time of IPB, there's some people that you can NEVER get rid of. I have 2 on my forums that come back and back -- around and around -- as they spoof their IP address, email addresses -- and you can never really ban them. I'd like to see a FEATURE much like Facebook where you can HIDE all their posts to everyone EXCEPT whoever is FOLLOWING them. So they think they aren't banned -- and posting -- yet nobody really sees them except their own friends! I think this would be a GREAT FEATURE to add to IPB! Thanks, BB

In the next version, in the change quoted above, its possible to also make it possible per forum section? For example, it would be nice if i could highlight posts made by the Admin group, but only in the Announcements sections.

Hi everyone How can I create a URL that changes the theme for the forum user. I inspected element of change themes and took the URL but it will only work for me since my ID is in the URL. If anyone has done this before please help me. Many thanks, G

After upgrading to 4.x, if you look in the appropriate database table for downloads or forum topics, would you still see the BB codes mixed in with the text? Or does 4.x try to convert the bb codes (bold, italics, url tags, font sizes, etc) to the html equivalent?I understand that in 4.x the bb code functionality is gone from the front end for the user (can't edit a forum post or download description and use bb code). But what happens to text with bb codes already in forum topics table or downloads table?Thanks,Josh

Imagine if users could create a discussion forum themselves and become the admin of that forum like Facebook Groups, wouldn't it be great? I feel like the my content would be much greater and the platform would be much more active. The top-down set forum titles are limiting users and I believe that is why forums are not as popular as before. Because after some time the threads gets repetitive. However, if users could just open their own discussion forums whenever they want, that would foster a lot of creativity. I wonder if there is such option at the moment?

Today, in 4.1 release, only memcached with port connection supported. My hosting provider support only "socket" connection. Wish it will be made in future releases. Additional info: http://php.net/manual/ru/memcache.connect.php bool Memcache::connect ( string $host [, int $port [, int $timeout ]] ) host Point to the host where memcached is listening for connections. This parameter may also specify other transports likeunix:///path/to/memcached.sock to use UNIX domain sockets, in this case port must also be set to 0. port Point to the port where memcached is listening for connections. Set this parameter to 0 when using UNIX do…

I think it would be a great idea if the core Calendar package included the (group/member enabled) option of having the site email reminders (and/or send them as notifications) for impending Calendar events.

Hello, I've had my forum for just over 12 years now, for the majority I've ran a subscription service that simply charges $10/year through a PayPal payment, they then get upgraded to a different user group and offered more forum features, no advertisements and prize draws. This was the majority of my income, unfortunately, since IPB4, that now makes adding an address on checkout compulsory (which is not relevant for either me or my members) it is grossly off putting and deters people away from upgrading. Further more, the invoice system is a joke, it's a fun, community forum. I completely understand the requirements of invoicing for business but it needs to…

Evening, Are there any plans to integrate google photos with invision so we can directly upload photos from our own google photos accounts as many photos these days are taken on mobiles and then uploaded straight to these types of cloud accounts. Thanks in advance.

I thought this was a bug but apparently it is by design. All content types, when there are (0) comments/replies, say (0), except for Topics, which says (1) comment, as it counts itself as a comment. This causes clicks as people think they have a comment. This happens in New Content >> All New Content, but not in New Content >> Topics, My Activity, or in Forums, where the language changes to replies and it correctly says (0). Blogs and all the other content types correctly say (0) comments when there are none, but IPS says: Of course it can, it can say 0. Like the other content types. Or if for some reason you don't like that logic, please use the language re…

Rhett at IPS posted an article about upgrading from 3.x to 4.0, and I will assume it was done to be accompany the IPS "official" 4.0 Suite announcement. In the article are the disappointing facts about Friends to Followers but the big shocker is the final note: There are many community board software products on the market. I always felt that IP.Content was the one thing that truly differentiated IP.Board from it's competition. As we have read in other posts, the new Pages blocks do not have filtering options or very limited filtering options. Now we (I) read that I will have to redo all of my blocks. What exactly does that mean? Does it mean that if you have a de…

is there a way to convert to a subscription base to continue to use the forum? We have a club, one of the benefits of club membership could be to join the forum. We want to be able to remove unpaid members from using the forum. would you suggest a feature on the IP board or strategies for regulating the member usage? If this feature is available what do you recommend to convert to a subscription based forum membership?

1. After removal of the tags in the admin panel, they are still saved in the forum topics. Then I have to go into each topic and delete tags there. It is not comfortable. 2. I need to sort the tags, for example, by popularity or alphabetically. I do not understand by what logic is now displayed tags in the theme. 3. Forum supports multiple languages, but tags are not support! We need that each tag to display in multiple languages (if forum at the same time two or three language versions) to the english version tags are in english, in russian version - in russian, etc. 4. I can not edit existing tags. If you made a mistake or want to change the tag, then thi…

As my site posts a lot of scripts or codes, it seems that IPB have dropped the ball on a small item that seems to be on all over boards. As reported in support, there is NO scroll bar for code. Means if a long guide with code added, you have to scroll down loads of the page and post to view it. Other sites i`m on has the code in a nice box inside the post with the scroll bar.
