youtube videos also are embedded automatically in the signatures but this is something we do not want (we have rules about keeping signatures short and neat) how can i prevent those youtube links that already existed as links, in signatures, (i.e. not taking up much space because exist as links) to appear embeded (i.e.big) in the signatures? (globally, for all members)

First of all I want to say that the APC is truly complicated, it's very hard to navigate in. Therefore I have to ask my questions here- How do I set URL to redirect user once logged in? and where do I edit the "sorry you don't have permission"? Thanks in advance!

Greetings. I need to know if this is possible. I want to know if I can have some kind of frame in pages to let users browse a website which is in another domain. For example, to let them read my blog inside my community. I'd like an option where users can browse my wordpress site inserted in my community. I'd like that to be completely transparent. I don't want users to leave my community, I want them to read it without missing the top menu of my community or my side blocks with publicity. Example, I could create a menu called: "My blog" in my Community. This would open a php page with a block on the right with the "latest threads", for example, and a mai…

How do I view uploaded MP4 and other videos on my iPad or iPhone. (YouTube and other videos linked via URL's are fine, just videos uploaded to the Board) When I click on the video link in a post I get a black screen with a start triangle/arrow in the middle but nothing happens when I click it. (I can open uploaded videos in QuickTime Player on my iMac and view it.) My understanding is uploaded MP4's and other videos upload as an attachment in Posts. But my iPad and iPhone won't default to any video player etc. An advice would be appreciated. This is not an IPS software problem so IPS Support will only tell me to look for help elsewhere. Tha…

I'm trying to find a setting or stat that will let me see how active our forums actually are. For example ... how many distinct users have logged in within the past 30 days? I know where to find stats for new topics and posts, but I'm interested in capturing how many also log in and just read. Is that a stat that is easy to find? Thanks ... ~Judy

Hello, I hide a field with the permission set. Only one groupe can read this field. Instead, other members must get a message "you have to change your group, etc..." How to display that message ? I know I have to test the user's group, with a condition in the template (I remember, I have done that a long time ago). But now, what's the correct code, please ? Regards NB : this should be a default feature.

Hi All, Short Story. 2 months ago a company approached me to set up a new community. I bought a good a domain name and I was about to buy a new IPS license, but the customer backed out in the last minute. Now I have an empty good domain and nothing else. I still think the project is interesting and possible if I can show the potential to other companies. I know I'm allowed to install a demo for any registered domain with IPS, but I was wondering if I'm allowed or I can install a IPS4 version in a complete different domain. I'd like to set up the software, create 2 forums, add a few posts, and few images to show the whole potential of the website. After that I…
