I created an article in a shop with two custom fields, one field to upload an image, other field to submit a URL. My question now is, in the acp under transactions I can only view the buyers information but not the values of the custom fields. Where can I find the field values? 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?

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!

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
