Hi I don't want my contributors to be able to come back months later and delete all of their files from the marketplace by using the upload new version edit function. (aka replace files with fake garbage) I tried to use the settings in the ACP but its not working. They can come back later and upload a stupid jpeg and delete their original file. To be honest, I don't really care about uploading more stuff, I just don't want to original stuff deleted. Is there any way to stop that? What am I missing?

Person B withdrawals full amount of funds Site owner looses money on the whole deal due to fee's associated with processing original purchase payment and processing a payout. Just thought I would share this loophole with others as an FYI.

Is there any way to hide topics older than x days? I recall something similar in version 3.x But I'm not sure. Does someone know if there is a plugin that hide topics ? I've seen a plugin locking them, but not hiding them. Would it be possible to do it with a "saved action" from the ACP ? and included in a task ? Help appreciated. Thank you

We are using a gallery for images upload with a restriction of image pixel size of 1800 x 1200 and uploading at 80% image quality. How can our users upload images without resizing and IPB does the image resizing at back end and only upload in specified dimensions: 1800 x 1200 px? If no existing support exist, im ready to buy/pay for any mods/plugin/custom coding.

I have read somewhere/sometime - that it is possible within the core of IPS, to have content feed on an external website. Like a block on another website. It is/was a JS code we copied over to the external site, and then the code pulled content into a block on the other site. I have searched here and there but can't find any information - anyone knows?

Hey there, I have a quick question. What would the process look like if I wanted to migrate my forum From: https://www.breatheheavy.com/exhale/ To: https://www.breatheheavy.com/ There's currently a Wordpress installation in the public_html folder. My server host managers say they can transfer the files, but as far as URL redirects and all that... they can't help. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
