So, I just converted over to IPB from MyBB with over 7000 members. On MyBB I had a plugin that offered members to upload an attachment to a post or PM using ImgBB photo hosting so the attachment never hit their allowed allowance. IPB doesn't seem to have this so I need to figure out how much allowance to give members so they can freely upload but I don't want to kill my server either! I do have several paid member levels that offer more upload space and PM storage as perks so I need to make the allowances higher in increments for the user levels. What are some of you guys using for attachment allowances? Also, I did find this plugin from imgBB that says it wo…

In our site, we have renamed decline to manage as we can differentiate from members joining vs managing the event. During the process (I think) we have hidden MAYBE tab (somehow). Appreciate if someone can help in unhiding that MAYBE tab as we need to rename that tab to WAITLIST now Hope this MAYBE (Or WAITLIST) still functions once RSVP hits the ceiling, as that's the whole idea to record the waitlist once drives are full.

Like, if I wanted the first 1,000 people who joint and post to be called "Founding Members" and have that appear under their name, how would I do it? I assume I create a new group and then somehow add them to the group? Is there a way to automatically assign the first X number of signups to the group? I realize these are probably a dumb/obvious questions... but I really have no idea what I'm doing. Here is the site: https://www.recruitinginfo.com/ I've populated it with a decent amount of content (videos mostly), and now I want to start to draw people in.

It's better for website loading if I can put multiple images in 1 single directory. At this moment the "wordpress style" file storage (as I call it) is used. So I can change from for example /upload to /images or whatever I want to store, but in that directory IPS will still create Monthly directory's. Which is just what I don't want for certain things. Isn't it possible to disable the creation of this Monthly directory's somehow so I get certain things just together in 1 directory like I want?

I think one of the best features that IPS has in terms of "putting community created content center stage" is the "Copy to database" feature found in threads: screenshot from recent blogpost What this does, is take the opening post and make it into an article in pages, and then you have a checkbox that if checked, will copy all the comments in the thread to comments in the article. basically "reversing" the "open thread" feature that we have when publishing an article. This led us to a question, is there any way to do the same thing but as a blog? Open a thread, click "copy to blog", Select the posts you want to be blog posts, and copy …

I'm really interested in anyone thoughts on how to use the current Calendar application in better ways so it becomes more fluid and dynamic. From a gaming perspective, meet ups and Looking For Groups (LFGs) are huge and i'm seeing people struggle with checking out the events I put up via the Calendar because it is gives a very robotic and slow feeling when it comes to things like the latest apps and integrations you can get with things such as Discord. I know there will be products that will do events better in different ways so i'm trying to find the angle that I can promote why we should use IPS Calendar events rather than splinter the community on a 3rd party app.…

Look how many tasks are stacking up trying to send emails to everyone subscribed to the topic. This is why I get comments that folks don't get registration emails. Server tasks are staked a mile long. Is there some way to do this better? Slow it down? or coalesce it or something? Maybe only shoot notifications 1 time per day per topic? Thank you in advance

Hey guys, I am trying to link to a specific section of the guidelines instead of members scrolling through them all etc. I have named the header of the section but when trying to add the link to the URL box shown here, the # bit disappears and it just ends up linking to the top of the guidelines page instead of halfway down it. Can this be done on the guidelines bit or do I need pages to make this work?

A couple of things. I am using custom made images for a advertisement. I created an image for Desktop and one for Mobile. I set them for each. I must say, being able to apply different size images for different device screen sizes is very nice, and it works perfectly. I grabbed the corner of my desktop window and started scaling it down, and the image changes to the mobile version just as it should. Thumbs up for this! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Now my issue. First, on the Advertisements page in the section 'Shows to', I wanted to first test it out and make sure it worked and looked properly, so I set it to just show to Administra…
