Hello, recently we received a report about a user being unable to register on our forums, this user was getting a 2S129/1 error when he was trying to register. I took a look at the Spam Defense Logs and found out that he was being flagged as a known spammer (Level 4) on the Spam Defense service, this guy swears that he is not a spammer and that it was a mistake on our side. Anyway, after that we were wondering if we could get a little more info about how the Spam Defense system works, I suppose it uses IP and email addresses from flagged users on the different sites running Invision's software, but for instance how does it handles a partial match for an email address? or …

I'm trying to get a LiveChat widget/popup working on my Invision site. We have it working on our normal company website, but the java snippet provided by LiveChat doesn't seem to work. There documentation says to paste it right before </body> so I tried this in globalTemplate and it does not work. I tried it also right before </head> as per some suggestions for Java scripts here in the forum. It just doesn't seem to do anything. Am I missing something? Is there something I need to enable? The code provided is: <!-- Start of LiveChat (www.livechatinc.com) code --><script> window.__lc = window.__lc || {}; window.__lc.license…

I'm using 4.5 beta ten and there is a mystery surrounding moderation of content. I have a member, in the members group, and some of the content submitted is being moderated even though no moderation settings have been applied. These are the content settings in the members group: There are no moderation restrictions being applied in any area of the site, yet 'some' content is being moderated. Any ideas anyone?

I'm attempting to make a basic call to the api using the example code found in the documentation, and I'm not seeing anything resulting in the php echo. Can someone point me in the right direction? I have a basic grasp of php. I also am sure that the api key has access to api/core/hello as set in the AdminCP. <?php $communityUrl = 'https://www.poolspaforum.com/forum/'; $apiKey = 'myapikey'; $curl = curl_init( $communityUrl . 'api/core/hello' ); curl_setopt_array( $curl, array( CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => TRUE, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH => CURLAUTH_BASIC, CURLOPT_USERPWD => "{$apiKey}:" ) ); $r…

I've noticed that each month a new folder is created on the server - is it safe to delete these older folders (arrowed) or are they needed? I ask this as there will be a lot of folders created over the coming months - unless they are self-deleting. Advice please 🙂

I would like to remove screenshots from the Downloads. At least in one category, maybe in all. When I asked before in another thread, it was stated you can disable screenshots in the category settings of Downloads, which is partly correct. Indeed you can disable the function to add a screenshot to a download. However, still a default images is placed anyway (and I wonder why). It's a black square with a camera in it (see screenshot). I don't want that in there, it's really no sight (doesn't look good at all) to have such image before all downloads. Is it possible to also have this image not displayed, so only the text is visible and that black thing is…

Hello, There is an option for posting limits like below. When I imposed this limit in my forums. Some member reached their limit. My question is... What time does my member can post again after they reached this limit? Is it 12:00AM my server time? or is it 12:00AM their time? Or it is has to pass the time of the first post out of the 100 posts that cause the limit? I really hope they don't have to wait 24 hours! Thank you. Please let me know the answer. I want to use this features because apparently some members spam so much to get promoted to the next group because my forum pays members who got to a certain g…

Is the documentation here outdated now? Yesterday, I had a number of members who have Facebook enabled say that they're unable to login. Today I noticed that I'm not able to use the promote function. I have followed the guide to ensure I am updated, as the last version my site used was 3.0 of FB's API. Facebook today have told me it's due to the old method being deprecated. I get the error...

I am looking for a way to automatically send a precomposed message or email to a user when certain criteria are met (i.e. a group promotion or reaching x post count). I see a way to setup bulk emails, but as far I can tell this must be manually triggered. I also see a way to add promotion rules, but I don't see an option to message the user with a precomposed message about the promotion when the rule triggers. We used to use a plugin called "Auto PM X Posts" by Michael John (DevFuse) in IPB 3 that let us send precomposed messages when a user reached a certain post count. This plugin no longer appears to be in development. I have not been able to find an alterna…

It seems like my Google rankings have tanked since I moved from MyBB! What can I do to improve SEO rankings? I have already defined all the meta tag key words and descriptions, and linked Google Analytics, but I need more! Is there any cons to running behind a permanent 301 redirect? my forum moved from root to /forums/ directory so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it? Looking for some good ideas that work quick and clean! Thanks!

Hi all, Last night, one of the most prolific and known members of our community passed away and we decided we want to do something to commemorate their memory and give them a special "in memoriam" status, put a link to their death notice thread and any other idea you guys can think of? maybe a page on the profile that shows off their posts and pictures or something? or at least a way to customize their tag line or whatever the text under their avatar is called. Does anybody know of a built-in/purchasable tool that can do something like that?

How do others setup their permissions for general members? Do you allow users to hide or delete content? Looking there is topics but not replies ( they are one in the same ) There doesn't seem to be a restriction with regard timeout can't delete after a period of time. or is this governed by the EDIT time out? Can a user delete a topic if there are replies? Can user hide a topic if there are replies? If a user wrote something then decided to remove it in my mind if there was no replies then it could be deleted and seen in the deleted content area Is there a prune for hidden content for XX days old?
