I know very little about Font Awesome, I would be interested in knowing more about application of FA within the IPS ecosystem. I would specifically like to know if or how IPS is currently natively supporting FA in 4.5? I would enjoy having the ability to use the FA on various icons across my sites. From the little I know about FA in IPS is the below: Searching in Admin Panel gives zero search result on 'awesome' There is a 3rd party plugin to introduce icon in front of usernames There is a 3rd party plugin to include FA in forum icons FA are free in its basic icons package (?) - and I assume the above apps operate with the free package F…

I notice that a theme I'm using was updated a few hours ago in the marketplace fixing some issues yet when I open the marketplace in the ACP and click on the updated file, I get this: I've run the support tool and it says everything is in the green - I've run the applications check for updates but still no mention of this updated theme. I can't download it because I'm told to do this through the ACP. It would be helpful if there was a 'check for installed updates' button so updates are recognised. Any help would be appreciated. With thanks

Hello, Is there any way we can hide the IP of the top management/root admin from other staff members? I believe there was an option in IPB 3 where the IP of the owner/admin was hidden even from other staff members without Admin CP access. Thank you.

I could have sworn that I saw a setting in 4.5 that will change the thread title click behavior from first post to last post but I can't find it for the life of me now!! Can anyone direct me to it or was it canned in a later Beta?

Hi All, Just wondering if there is a way I can increase the timeout for AdminCP sessions? Or at least stop it from prompting to input the 2FA Code every time you login on the same device? I ticked the "Do not ask again for the rest of the session" checkbox, but the sessions seem to be quite short.

On my site I am using CloudFlare for SSL, however on certain pages such as threads themselves, it shows not secure despite having the CloudFlare signature. On my homepage, though, it shows that the site is secure. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Thanks in advance for any help. 🙂 EDIT: Solved.

How do you change the layout of the mini profiles? Can they be moved to above each post for instance? Or can the pips be removed, but the ranking stay?

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…
