I set the forum page as front page, but suddenly the main domain became to redirect to the gallery page.. Then I couldn't find where to fix it. Do I need to fix something in Admin Control panel?

Is the documentation here outdated now?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?

According to the official documentation, it is allowed to make several test facilities in localhost, separated in different subdirectories. This implies modifying the default settings of the cookies so that they do not conflict. The Invision Community documentation says that this can be done through the "constants.php" file I need to test two installations on localhost: https://localhost/test1/ https://localhost/test2/ The parameters that I must introduce in "constants.php", I believe that they are the following ones: -for localhost/test1: define( 'COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'localhost' ); define( 'COOKIE_PREFIX', 'test1_' ); define( 'C…

In this document: it says: My question is about "...an unlimited number of installations on "localhost" domains so you can test locally without restriction". How can I do several local test installations, with the same "localhost" domain? Can I be separated by directories? For example: localhost/test1, lochalhost/test2, localhost/test3, .... ?

I've migrated from myBB @ (root.com) to IPB @ (forums.root.com). I used the provided converter but I believe the URL redirects only work if the IPB install is in the same location as the myBB install? I cannot seem to get url redirects to work properly using a sub-domain. Can anyone advise on how to set mybb thread links to redirect to IPB threads using the data in convert_link_topics? Thanks!
