Don't want to bother technical support with this question, so I'm posting it here... So I purchased the IPS community, let's say Forums + Blogs + Gallery... It's all installed and works great. Then I purchased the Pages application. How do I add it to my community? It must be something really simple, but I can't find an answer. In my client area I can download the entire community only, but not a separate application. I assume that it must include the Pages application at this point, but that still doesn't answer the question how exactly do I upload just that application...

When I was opening the discussion forum for ads, the ads from advertisers came quickly. I ended up with 6 advertisers wanting to place ads on the discussion board. To accomdate the advertisers, I added a table with 2 rows and 3 columns. It works great on a desktop view but it doesn't work on mobile. Some of my advertisers have been with me for years so I want to keep them happy. My discussion forum is here: http://www.wifcon.com/discussion/index.php The ads are all 335 pixels x 100 pixels. When the board is opened in mobile (samsung 8 plus) the ads in the first column appear and the others do not. I'm stuck with the placement and the size of the ads. S…

Finally I have migrated my vBulletin to IPS. Now I am in the process of giving forum permissions. I see some topics with username Guest xxx where it should be only xxx and some topics give an error when clicking on it We could not locate the item you are trying to view. Error code: 2S136/V And some images were not right embedded, also URL's are not embedded right. That's because all is index processed now in the background? Or went something wrong? Thanks.

We're getting an error 'Error code: 2S136/V' when viewing topics. Is there a way to enabling more verbose/detailed errors, it feels a bit like a secret code at the moment and I'm not quite sure the benefit of having that setup. Or is there somewhere I can look this up?

Is there a way to see users who have the same 2FA device? Similar to devices used, except specific for 2FA. If someone gets banned, makes a new accounts and re-enables 2FA, I'd like to be able to see that (or even a setting to make that not able to happen) Am I able to do either of those? Thanks

We're performing a test migration from vBulletin to IPB. We will then spend a few weeks doing some testing with a small group of volunteers. During this period, we want to ensure that no email notifications are sent out. For example, if we reply to an old thread, in our private testing area, we don't want it firing off 'new reply' emails. Any ideas?

Hi, I think we messed up our conversion from vB3.8.7 to IPB. We did all the users, private messages, etc. - but I noticed there wasn't an option for converting posts. I then accidentally clicked 'Finished'. I have since realised the conversion appears to be in two parts, right? The "Member and System Information" is part one, then you need to do "Forum and Topic Data" - is that correct? Anyway, I wanted to start over, but the problem is the conversion is considered 'finished' and I therefore get an error of '2V368/1 This conversion has been marked as completed.' when trying to start again. What can I do at this stage? I clearly clicked 'finished' too early I think, h…

Hi there! My Community has millions of posts and there are a lot of links to amazon when users are asking for purchasing advice. This links aren‘t referral tho, so we don‘t see any money from this. Is there any possibility to search for all the amazon links in the database and change them to referrel links? Whenever I tried to automaticly change those links the link didn‘t work anymore or the post itself was broken. Any suggestions? Thanks!
