Hello all, It appears the current version of IP.Board has semi-relative time (19 hours ago, 5 minutes ago, 43 seconds ago) but then once the post reaches 24hrs, I see yesterday at 03:31 PM. I want that to say yesterday. If posted 2 days ago, I want 2 days ago If posted 2 months ago, I want 2 months ago Catching my drift? Is this possible? I can't seem to find any plugins that accomplish this. Thanks

How did invisioncommunity.com accomplish having 3 navigation bars on top? Nav 1: Our Community | Marketplace | Client Area | Help Guides -> User Bar Nav 2: Features | Solutions | Services | Free Demo | More | Plans & Pricing Nav 3: Forums | All Activity | My Activity Streams | Resources | Leaderboard | Our Picsk -> Search Nav 3 also seems to change depending on which part of Nav 1 you are on.

I don't have an option to upload a profile photo on mobile. Am I missing a setting somewhere that will allow my mobile users to upload their profile photo? Right now the only options are no photo and gravatar.

Right now if you search my IPB site it shows the full content in the search results on mobile. How do I change that to just be the title and maybe the first 100 characters or something easier?

Hello, I want each post in a thread to be spread apart instead of against each other. Is this possible? Scroll through quickly, you'll see what I mean. https://www.htmkr.com/topic/73-if-mr-kanye-west-spat-in-your-mouth/ It is especially an issue for mobile because it makes everything look cluttered up. Any help please?

As I am changing my terms today, I want to ask, do you have any issues with the feature to confirm the new terms with 4.3.3.? I am trying it on my test board, I change the terms, I enable the option that members needs to reconfirm and what happens is...absolutely nothing. I am able to access the site with two accounts, without accepting new terms just fine. Am I missing something in the way this feature needs to be enabled? The cookie bar also immediately disappears after the website is loaded. All third party apps are disabled. Obviously I don't want to do that on my live board just yet, because I don't have trials there, I don't want to force my users to…

Is it possible where you no longer have a secondary group? I've made it where some users were in two groups which worked fine until I wanted them to be only in one. When I click the same group twice it just says they're in the group twice. Which is annoying, you know?

I've upgraded my test site from 4.2.8 to 4.3.3 All good, but even on 4.3.3 before tweaking the new emojis options, I was able to convert text into the old emoticons. For example :) would automatically turn into as I typed. After tweaking around and saving the emojis preferences, it doesn't do that any longer. I tried different combinations of the settings and still no luck; :) simply remains :) and I see that it happens the same on this site. This is how I believe the preferences were before tweaking them around (I saved EmojiOne Style initially), and this also what I reverted to after noticing the problem. Any ideas please?

Is it possible to put My Details into the user's menu instead of having to take up room on my main nav menu? If not, how do you guys handle these? Are they all available somewhere else my users can navigate to? When I say "My Details" I am talking about: Manage Purchases Billing Agreements Account Credit Addresses Subscriptins Alternative Contacts Orders Personal Information

Not sure if this is possible, but if someone has the skills and knowledge ... I would appreciate the information. I normally use this widget for setting up php content in pages My idea would be to create a page with 2 blocks. 1 block would display 3 buttons and the other block would be empty (waiting for a code line) When the user clicks in one of the buttons, the button instruction should add a "iframe" line in the empty block so it loads the content from an external source. Not sure if I made myself clear, but the idea is to be able to change a block content on the fly using another block to send the code lines

I have a nice message in my dashboard. Dangerous PHP Functions Enabled We recommend disabling the following functions on your server, or at least in the directory that your community is installed in. If you do not manage your server yourself, your hosting provider will be able to assist with this. exec, system, pcntl_exec, popen, proc_open, shell_exec It's after the big upgrade.. Should i add something to a file or remove some files or just leave it...?

I'm unable to upload some of my files to my site because the limit is 7mb and these files exceed it. What I can't understand is where this limit is set. I've checked the php.ini in my domain's root and that contains upload_max_filesize = 20M I've checked in the server root too. (My site is located in an addon domain.) upload_max_filesize = 50M I can't see anything in conf_global nor locate any settings in the ACP. What am I missing? Where could this limit of 7mb be coming from?

Hi Guys, I have nearly 19,000 members in my community and I am storing personal data. I'm trying to get GDPR compliant so I don't have any trouble in the long run. In line with the GDPR we have to ask for consent to continue to mail users. As IP has done with an email is it possible we can do something like this? We have a way to check if a user has agreed to consent, but I can't find a way to be able to ask for consent within a bulk mail. Hope you can help guys, Jamie

We use Iubenda.com for our privacy policy but I can't get it to post into the Privacy Policy page. It's javascript but it is showing up as the actual code in plain text. I've also tried creating a block with the code in and used {block="blockname"} but that is coming up as plain text too. Any help please? Thanks
