Hi, How do I change the email settings for following forums? I thought the settings would be under notifications but selecting email under the disable option for following doesn't update the following options. Is there any way I can change the 'one email per day', 'one email per week' options? Ideally I'd like to turn these off for free members. Cheers

How do I get club calendars (of those clubs who have added calendar as a club feature) to the main calendars drop down list? Or am I just not seeing it there because no club has created an event yet?

Hi, I'm using the RSS Feeder to feed RSS articles from site A to my forum category of choice. Is there a way to limit how many articles are posted by each RSS feed in a set amount of time? If so, I can't seem to find the setting.

I would like to set a base standard commission and have the ability to choose a specific commission for a specific club that would not effect the commission rates of the rest of the clubs. How do I do this? When I edit a club it does not allow me to edit the commission rate unless I change it for all clubs.

Hi, we are migrating a large vBulletin 3.8 forum. We had a plugin on there which created a thread, in a hidden moderator's forum, each time a user was banned. This was useful, as it alerted moderators about who was being banned and why. Is there anything like this in IPB 4.3? Thanks

I need to import about 5,000 members into my site. I have the member broken up into multiple csv files based on what products they have purchased from us (on a separate website). I have created paid clubs based on each product so that future customers can purchase access to those clubs (which contain the "products"). I would like to import those members into their respective clubs. First question is can I import members into specific clubs. Second question is if I import the member twice, once as belonging to one club and then again belonging to another club, will this cause any issues and will the member belong to both clubs? Third question is w…

This code is working on many themes, not all but maybe yours. Just change the value of the "px" to adjust your logo and background. @media screen and (max-width:979px) { #elLogo img { max-width: 100%; max-height: 90px; padding: 5px; padding-top: 20px; padding-left: 0px; position: relative; left: 50%; margin-top: 40px; transform: translate(-50%, -50%); } } @media screen and (max-width:979px) { #ipsLayout_header header { max-height: 100px; } }

Does the photo view count on a gallery image count (in red box below) only how many times users have visited that particular image in the gallery on the website, or does it also count when the image shows up in something like a Google search? Thank you :).

I would like to allow my members to input their usernames of other forums into their profile so that other members can find them. For example there is a forum called TSP that a lot of my members belong to. I would like to allow them to put their TSP username into their profile and then other members can see that member is also a TSP member. They can then click on their TSP member name and it will take them to their TSP profile. What is the best way to do this? I am thinking it would be a custom profile field? If so, what settings do I need to setup for that custom profile field to make it so that their username is surrounded by the correct URL to allow that name…

Is there a way to have a closed club that does not require approval for a member to pay to join? I don't want them to see any of the content of the club unless they pay but I also don't want to have to manually approve each person who wants to pay to join the club.

I changed my storage settings from Amazon S3 to File System and now all of my images are broken. Is there something I need to run to let the system know to use the local file system images instead? Do the images not also get stored on the local system? If not, I will have to reactivate my S3 and will change it back to S3 (hopefully that will restore them).

I seem to recall in 3.x in acp when on the members tab, you could select the banned tab then tick a box which would then select all banned members. You could then select "delete" from a drop down list. I have 14 pages of "Banned" members from way back and these members all count towards the total number of registered users. I really want to delete all the banned/spammer user accounts as it clutters up the members tab in acp and also creates a false record of how many members we actually have (genuine members are around 3500, forum shows as having 4690!) Surely there must be a way to quickly clean this up. Can't believe I have to delete them all one by one?? …

How can I find out more about built in newsletter information. I understand bulk mail but I am seeing a System Widget called Newsletter Signup. If I move that block onto my page it says it needs configuration. Where do I configure this and how does it work? I was considering one of the newsletter applications on the marketplace but if there is a built in newsletter system I would like to see what it is capable of before investing into one of these applications.
