Hey guys, Quick question. So far as I know, to warn a user, you have to go into their profile and click the "Warn User" button, this then brings up the window where you can select the warning and enter in text relating to the warning etc, or edit the text already associated to the warning. However, is there any built in functionality in IPS where a Warn button is on the users posts/postbit so that when it is clicked, the offending content is auto quoted into the warning message ? I just find this makes life easier for moderators and also ensures each warning has the correct amount of context so the offending users is 100% clear on why they were warned for. This…

We have not been able to upgrade our forum for a long time due to lack of time. We currently have this option and have renewed the license. However, it is not possible for us to upgrade directly to the latest version because the latest version only supports PHP 8. I don't know where to start now. Is there an IPB version available that supports PHP 7.4 and PHP 8, so that we can upgrade to the latest version?

Is there a way to automatically add another member to a chat each time a chat is started with a particular member? e.g. a member starts a private chat with the Administrator and a particular Moderator is automatically added in.

Another forum I have with invision replace the ":)" with however the new one replaces it with this emoji: 🙂 Personally I do not like this new emoji as it looks like a fake/no smile emoji. The old one looks like a real happy face. How can I get the new forum to replace ":)" with ? Just like my other one is doing. Many thanks in advance

I'm sure once we didn't have to create a Giphy account and it was a case of just switching it active in admin? Either way, it looks like they are going the SDK route with ads now (I haven't looked yet if this will code into the theme, etc) OR going premium via the usual API billed annually at an amazing price of just $120 per month! Will these end the whole Giphy integration with IPB?

When using IPS on a mobile, a "Home" button appears on the far left. This is clicking to the default IPS area, but we don't use that as the home page. I've got the logo clicking to the correct link, but I need to be able to tell that home button to click to a certain link. How do I do that, please?

Since marketplace closure, there is no way to download stuff anymore, if the author has disappeared from the community. Is there a way to retrieve an app and plugin I have already installed in my community? I wanted to make a clean install for testing, however, I don't have XML files anymore.

I`m currently setting up an internal forum for our company. We compiled a set of rules and guidelines and I entered them in the ACP under "System" -> "Settings" -> "Terms & Privacy Policy" -> "Site Guidelines". However, when I view the forum after I saved the changes these guidelines are nowhere to be seen. I can't find a link to them or anything of that sort. Am I overlooking something? Do I need to set permissions to view them or something like that? Thanks for your help!

Since the marketplace is closed, I am lost. There is no centralized place to search apps. Can an app help people vote positively or negatively on topics? And present the vote status outside the topic in the main view?

Hi team, I'm creating new member groups for new subscriptions and I'm setting permissions for all my forums and subforums. I've more than 300. And I've a problem, I only can set permissions in a general way for ALL forums, but not for subforums or catgories as groups. So I need to set permissions one by one. Did we have another way to set permissions more efficently? Now I need to select about 6.000 field check Thanks for your help.

Featured blogs are shown at the top of the blog homepage, how many featured blog posts will it show? e.g. is it the last 10 featured ones for example. Or does it scroll through them indefinitely so if had 100 featured posts it would randomly scroll between 100 of them? Many thanks in advance

Hi ! I don't know if my message is in the right place, but... I'll give it a try 😜 When I switch the editor to "Source" mode to enter HTML code, if I use an HTML5 <video> tag, the system automatically adds a "src" argument (to this tag). In fact, the system uses the src argument of the first <source> tag it finds inside the <video> tag. Text entered : <video> <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4"> <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg"> </video> Recorded text : <video data-video-embed="" id="ips_uid_5381_4" src="movie.mp4"> <source data-video-src="movie.mp4" src="movie.mp4" type="vi…
