Is there some setting somewhere where people – and I'm talking about admin particularly – can automatically block messages from people who aren't on a friends list or a follow list or something? It's not that I don't love the members of our forum a lot – it simply that it gets a bit too much receiving emails from them all the time asking for advice which is available on the forum. If there is not an inbuilt setting then is there some third-party product which will do this? Thanks

I am concerned about the above. I sell monthly memberships using paypal that move people between a regular member group and a VIP member group. I also use paypal for mass payouts. Help me to understand, this won't work on Paypal anymore if I upgrade? PS: I tried to use Braintree and they rejected me. So that's not an option for me.

It's bloody complicated figuring out how to get a test install of your community working in a nested folder. IE: mysite.com/test Someone should workout a step by step tutorial for this. It would be tremendously helpful Thank you 🙂

I suppose not unexpected. Spammers have found the "Guest Post Before Registering" tool useful to get a post to show up in the posts feed/widget/block (but not in the forum itself). I cannot see the topic/ post in question: You do not have permission to view this content. ERROR: 2F173/K Anyone know how I eradicate it? This Guest Post?

At this time, posts are displayed like "3 hours ago" or if longer ago like "February 26" or in my case "12 mei 2018" (translated). I would like to have the older post like "12-05-2018" or "12-05-18". Is there a way I can configure this? I only found an option "date format for events" which I could change, but that does not change the dates of postings.

I know you can set up advertising via banner, block or skyscraper and offer packages that auto renew every "X" number of days, weeks or yearly... There is also an option to show banners and limit the "Ad Packages" by impressions... such as 25,000 impressions or 100,000 impressions regardless of time. The advertiser only pays for actual views, regardless how long it takes to show them... (this can be good AND bad, depending on your traffic) Can I set up "Auto Renewal" billing once advertisement "impression" level is reached? Thanks in advance, Joel

Is there any documentation on template logic which can/cannot be used in pages (manual HTML)? using {template="userPhoto" app="core" group="global" params="$member->author(), 'tiny', $member->warningRef()"} which automatically throws errors author() using expressions will also throws errors. The only thing I found is using {member="name"} It would be nice if we could actually use {template =""} logic in pages.

Is there a way to move users to certain user groups, depending on their activity rate? What i am looking for is something like "has been active 5 of 7 days of a week" or/and "has been active 20 days out of the last 30 days". I am not sure how the suite registers log ins, if the browser keeps the user logged in, but i'd say that visiting the site, should count as marking that user active. But any advice ideas would be great here! Trying to figure out an idea that i have been thinking of

After upgrading the IPS 4.4.0 and making changes based on its new features, I was inundated with complaints of slow loading images and grey placeholders persisting for anything up to 10 seconds. It turns out that there's nothing wrong with IPS 4.4.0 or my hosting, but that by changing this to only serve insecure images via my server meant my members got to experience true load times of their image hosting services, such as Flickr, Dropbox, etc. Changing this back to 'All Images' solves the issue completely. I thought I'd share this experience in case anybody else suddenly gets reports of slow-loading images in threads, so you don't waste time d…

Hi, when I mention a user in the forum by @Member, the resulting blue box in the final post still contains the @-sign. Is it possible to hide the @-sign in the final post? This would improve the flow of reading. Kind regards, Stefan

Hello, I'll be upgrading to 4.4 this weekend, but thought that I might as well upgrade my database as well beforehand. I'm currently running IPS 4.3 on MariaDB 10.2.22, which should provide equivalency to mySQL 5.7x, but thought it best to upgrade to the latest stable version of MariaDB (10.3.13). Anyone else running 4.x on 10.3.13? If so, I'm assuming there are no issues but if you've had any I'd like to hear about them before upgrading. Thanks!

what exactly won't function correctly? If Stripe is only used as a means to collect card payments Stripe says it's optional to have a webhook even though IPB requires it on their side. So it could be setup and then deleted on the stripe side after it's saved in the IPB ACP. What will happen?
