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…

When I promote something to facebook the post does not have any kind of link back to the post or anything about who posted that content. Is this possible to add (without having to manually put it in every time)?

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!

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

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?
