Hi guys, I'm not sure if this is a bug or just something that I've setup incorrectly, but in my Pages database I am noticing that the record's Reactions do not sync up with the associated topic that it is linked to. To give you an example, I took an existing topic on my forum, in which the original post already received around 20 reactions from other users, and Copied to Database so that an identical Pages record was created from it. However, on viewing the Pages record version, the 20 or so accumulated reactions from the topic are not carried over. Image 1 above: Original topic, please note the 20 reactions set against the original post plus the one react…

I followed all the steps for twitter login for my community and is working. But when I try to promote blogs it says my twitter app is set to read only. Are there any instructions on how to change that and make it read and write permissions? Help is appreciated.

Is there an easy way to change the forum statistics out put for total post, as seen below? Right now our site shows 1m total posts. I'd rather it show 1.01m, 1.02m, etc. Otherwise, it will just stay at 1m posts for quite some time, giving the illusion not many posts are being added. See the included image. Any help is appreciated!

I have run into a bug where only topics located in certain forums will pop up under "Currently Discussing" when they are set to be featured. I've created topics and tested this again and again. I create the topic. Set the topic to be featured I see the green star. It does NOT show up under Currently Discussing (even after refreshing and waiting until the next day....) When I take the topic and MOVE it to other known forums where I know where featuring works... it pops up right away under "currently discussing" I am SO confused! I looked around to see if this is a setting and I don't recall creating forums differently from each o…

I understand the concept of oAuth for signups but in current offerings it seems that I would need to be the one in control of all the keys and setup of such Identity Provider. Since I host forums for several affiliates as first line of tech support for their services most of their employees monitor the forms and provide assistance. Whenever they have a change in staff I have to add them to their group. I was wondering if there was a way i could allow the lead person at that company a way to Setup their oAuth for managing their staff and all users who sign up that way are already granted the right permissions. I am on great terms with my affiliates and could…

So I tried to do a split. Meaning move last 5 posts from a topic into a new one. I could only find how to do this one-by-one, not all 5 at once. Is this the only way of doing it one by one? I have expected to be able to move more at once but when selected more, it asks for a forum to be moved in (?) not really for a topic. Not even sure what that is for.

I see Tags have a global setting to be open OR closed across all forums/subforums. Is it possible to set a given forum/subforum to closed? My use case is for Classifieds where I want to force members to use only a specific set of tags/prefixes in their topics.

Ok. so in ACP I do have 3 options. go with the logged in users crontab every minute use a webservice However in the dashboard, where "background" processes are, there is one more method as far as I see. The most important one for "immediately" after conversion. The "manual run now". However, this runs from a browser and now it's third day it is running and nowhere to be finished. I'd like very much to finish this manual run asap, then add to crontab and make sure everything is ok with database. Is there a way that I can run a script overnight that does this MUCH quicker than few records at a time through browser? I mean the browser pick…

so my IPBoard is installed for long forgotten historic reasons into /forums/ folder. Would it be possible to use Invision Pages and to a page in / (root) folder somehow? I do have Pages installed and works. If so, can somebody help me set it up? conf_global.php has full url in it: /forums/ The custom page in / (root) folder would contain some base information before login into board, available to everyone.
