Hello, I have a problem with BBC codes. I converted my SMF database, and everything seems to work fine beside BBC codes, as you can see on images i attached, instead of style text i see raw BBC codes alongside text.

I have a set of products (let's call them "ranks") where members can purchase any of them and then they can upgrade to a higher level at a later date if they want to. I also have other things in store that I don't want the coupon to be valid for, just these ranks. I created a coupon and set so that the coupon is usable for all of these ranks, it works when a member purchases their first rank, but it does not work for upgrades in between ranks, it says that the coupon may not be used for that purchase. I did check "Can be used for renewals of selected products?", but that didn't help either. If I enable "No restriction" for products, the coupon works OK. Is this …

Hey guys, does anybody know, how to reset the setting when you first open the approval queue in the ModeratorCP? There's an explanation that you can use the approval queue where every item is listed one by one and you can decide for each item individually. With this explanation comes a checkbox to not show this hint again the next time. When I was quick translating the website recognized my spacebar while typing the translation as a button click or so and accepted this hint without showing it anymore. I want to undo that but I cannot find the right table in the database. Hope you can help me. Regards Phil

I want to change the basic URL of my site from "domain. com" to "www.domain.com". I know I have to update the base_url variable in conf_global. php and update the licenced url in the client area, then run the support tool to rebuild the datastore file. But... 1. Is it necessary to respect a delay between the modification of the licenced url in the client area and the update of conf_global. php 2. in what order should the changes be made so that there is no service interruption? 3. How long will the rebuild of the datastore file take for a site with 40.000 members and 1,500,000 posts in forums ? Thank you for your help

Morning! We are running the most current stable version of IPS Community suite with Google Maps enhancement enabled. Is there any place to set defaults for Calendar Event creations? For example, in the Location field, the state defaults to Alabama. It would be nice if there was a way to set it to our state, vs changing it every time since there is less likely to be something scheduled out of state. I have looked through the theme templates and CSS and did not see anything in the calendar sections that related to the location field. I have searched on this through 113 other posts on this form related to 'Calendar and Default' and I have seen a consistent theme th…

Just updated, (From .23) to the .26 version and my forums reputation/reactions are missing from all the topics and posts (still available on statuses) Am I missing a setting somewhere? Is it possibly a glitch with a theme I'm using? (Villian 4.x) I've gone through the reactions and reptuation menu as well as the group menu but I can't seem to figure out where they went.

Hello! I'm having some issues with a simple tabbed interface using ips.ui.tabbar. Content loads into my first tab via Ajax just fine, but when I click on the second tab, it appears to be loading, but the broswer then goes directly to the new URL. It seems as if the Javascript in charge of switching tabs doesn't stop the default behavior of the second link: <a href="https://forums.2600hz.com/forums/academy/user-guides/accounts-manager" role="tab" id="elTabTwo" class="ipsTabs_item"> Any suggestions? Does anyone have a working example that I can see? Thanks Bret <article class="monster-ui-app"> <header> …

Is there a way to do this? If so, how? and Is this smart? Has anyone tried it yet? I'm thinking it would be a more dynamic front page than just a list of forum categories.
