Is anyone else having an issue copying images in 4.2? Since I've upgraded if someone posts an image in a topic and I try to copy and paste it into my own post, it just gives me a blank space where the image is supposed to be. I tested it here on the test forum and it worked properly. What do I have setup wrong or what can I change to remedy this? Thanks!

I have a question about how to integrate the forums, clubs, and pages, the services I have in IP Board. I am creating a social learning site and there will be different membership levels. One will be a social membership with a monthly enrichment program and clubs/groups. The other will be for the courses and will have forums as well as groups. This is all on a WP site, with LifterLMS for the courses. I am using their theme Launchpad and Beaver Builder. Woo is handling the commerce side. I am wondering if it is possible to link different parts of the membership side with different parts of IP Board. I am trying to stick with solid platforms so I do not have the integration…

I just switched a few users to the notification setting of One email per day with all new content from that day, instead of A notification when new content is posted. Method to use for content I follow automatically A notification when new content is posted One email per day with all new content from that day One email per week with all new content from that week The system is still sending immediate notification emails when followed topics are replied to instead of grouping the replies into one daily email. My question is, is this setting for all future followed content and doesn't affect older followed con…

I remember at one time I had run across a page somewhere about the cookies that IPS uses explaining what each cookie is used for. Can someone post a link to that page? I thought I bookmarked it and didn't, thanks.

Hi, I am running the latest version of IPB with NO PAGES APP, so will need "old school" answers. I want to add a some text and a link on our front page of a private, forum. We have no guest option or visitors can see our side bar content. I simply want to add a link to the front page that will give possible new users more information before they join. I have a PHP expert in my admin team and even he can't find where to do this. Please advise. The search of this forum for home page and log in page edit brought up no results. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hello, How are the saved actions listed? It seems to me that this is a problem. Once added saved actions, don't move it down. Can you add IPS 4.x sorting options? Greetings

How do I make the navbar so it is one strip across like above rather than tabs? Also I have been trying to make the 2 navbars 2 different shades of green with white text. But the top tabs and text show up as white even when I have change them. I have deleted other themes and just have the new one and have not used the Easy Customization. Where should I look to change this? Thanks.

Is it possible to duplicate the clubs application? I would like to have multiple types of clubs that are called different things. For example using the ALC Languages I am changing clubs to be called "circles". I would also like another version of the clubs application installed but instead of that one being called clubs I would like to call it "Teams". So, people can create a circle or they can create a team. I might even then create another one or two with different names.

I am a new user. I was looking into translate to change the title of clubs to groups. I am not sure how I did it but when I login now I only see the translate functions and when I go to "site" all labels show us as functions. How do I get back to "normal"? Thanks!

Is it possible to have the users have time limit on editing forum posts, but unlimited editing of pages records? As I see it, it is pretty limiting to have the same time limit on all types of content.

I want to add the ability for members to see related files when viewing files in Downloads. For example if a member is viewing an eagle file in downloads there will be a widget that will recommend other bird related files to the member. Ideally the recommendation will be based on tags, or file title name, or other parameters which I can set. I don't see a way to do this in IPS admin and didn't find anything like this in Marketplace. Is there an existing solution? Is this something which is easily built?

How do I create a Q&A forum in Clubs? In the main Forums app it's easy; you just specify the type of forum you want to create when you set it up in the ACP. But I can't see anything of the sort on the front or in the ACP if you're creating a forum in a Club. It's just a default discussion forum.

Up until now my premium memberships were handed manually - I get the money via paypal, I upgrade the member group of the user and try to monitor when it expires. I will now automate this process via Commerce. My issue is with migrating the people that are already subscribers, can I somehow add them to premium subscription? Is generating a "Paid" invoice enough to do it?

I hope this is the right place to ask this. I am new here. I have Pages And Forums and have added an image header. I am not using a logo so the forum moves up into the header space. I would like to change that by increasing the size of the header and could not find where to do that. I tried looking at ipsPageHeader and was not able to make any changes that worked. Since I am not too technical I would love some advice. Thanks!
