Hi - I'm not all that clued up on SEO unfortunately. The vast majority of my site will be held behind a subscription paywall. Is there a way to make it so that subscription only content can also be spidered/indexed by search engines? I'm guessing it's not possible but thought I'd ask. Thanks.

Hi, I've just set up a new test server last night and installed the latest self-hosted version of IPB. This morning I went to login to the AdminCP and it won't accept my user/password. I can login to the forum and can access ModeratorCP. I get the following error: Sorry, you do not have permission for that! 2S119/1 Something went wrong. Please try again. If anyone can offer any guidance it would be much appreciated. thanks Russ

I don't understand how my Max File Size is now around 200kb when it was around 2MB for months. I haven't changed the settings and no one else has access to those? Also I looked in my ACP but I cannot find where that setting is in order to change it back? Thanks.

I know there is not a preconfigured block for calendar, other than upcoming events and reviews, but is there a way to create a custom block that would display one specific calendar... Lets say I have a "Page Topic" and I create a calendar, club, gallery, forum, etc for that "Page Topic". I'd like the ability to include a block with a calendar for that topic, specifically like the full calendar view. Is that possible?

I want to use "Articles" along with its database to start a blog. I have disabled categories because I would rather not have articles stuck inside a single category. Instead I would rather have tags, just like in my forum, so that a single article can have multiple tags. Is there a way to do that? For example if this were a food blog, the article "Apple pie" would get the tags "Fruits, Apple, Tarts, Desserts" and one could click on any of those tags to access all the articles that have that same tag.

I choose to let users create their own tags. However sometimes users create tags for words that I'd like to filter out. These are words that are not part of the word filters.

Hi, is there a feature I'm missing ... or is IPB perhaps missing a feature? For my articles content I would very much like people to be able to print out a clean page of the article text, without the surrounding framework of IPB. Is there a way to enable this option? Thanks.

I am doing some housekeeping and removing some details from customers who purchased items several years ago, Is there an easy way to do this as I am manually having to go through customer records and delete the information. Also I note that although you delete the information the address is still shown under all recent account activity. I really do not need this information any longer and would like to know how to get rid of it, many thanks

I'm trying to display a block listing the Clubs which have been set up. As Administrator I can see the block fine. I've got a member group who I believe (as far as I can see) have all the correct permissions to see and use the Clubs functionality ... however, for them the block displaying the Clubs is absent where it should be present. I've had what I think is a good look at everything and can't see why this might be the case. Anyone want to suggest a troubleshooting checklist to check what I've done wrong? Thanks.

Hi - I'm creating a subscription only environment for my users. So 95% of the content on the site is going to be behind a paywall. Just thinking about the blogs area for users though, I realise some of my users might want to create a blog which is publicly available. Is this possible? In other words, some will use it as a private space for their thoughts and ideas and WANT their blog behind the paywall. Others though might want to write things which are publicly viewable without the paywall getting in the way. Thanks, Evan

Hi, Is there a way to give control to the general community member to allow them to switch the forum area layout to suit their preferences? I've set things to Grid Card view in the ACP because I think it looks nicest, but I appreciate that once people get stuck in they might just want a simpler view of things. Does this user level option exist already? Or is there a way to implement it? Thanks.

Hi there, Is it possible to add a button to a text block (using the rich text WYSIWYG editor or other)? By that I mean one of the standard system buttons to make it stand out from the text and look like the rest of the site. Thanks.

Hi - I have enabled Clubs in my settings, but from there I can't find what to do next. Nothing is appearing anywhere on the site in relation to clubs. Can't see any means of someone creating a club at any point. What am I missing? Thanks.
