Okay I did all the other steps but I got confused on Step 4: Master CSS Files This is the part is weird, Let me explain more about this: To use the master_css: Go to public/style_css/ Make a copy of the css_1 directory, and rename the copy to master_css. Okay now when I go to my FTP account then look for public/style_css then start looking for css_1 directory, guest what I can't find css_1 in style_css. Is css_1 is the default skin for Ip.Board ? if it is then mine is css_6 Idk why I don't have css_1 So please explain how can I do this.

Hi, For my forum (3000 users, 700000 posts, usually about 150-200 users online) I have a VPS with: RAM 3072 MB Discspace 30 GB CPU-cores 2 × 2.4 Ghz @ 80% my database filesize is 1GB Will it improve the page load time of my website if i get better cpu, more ram or more discspace? I am using the latest ipboard with wordpress via ipsconnect. Also, I couldn't find much about mod_pagespeed here. Is anyone here who is using it and is seeing improvements in their page speeds?

We are hosting our own server, it's a Mac OS X 10.4.11 with PHP 4.4.9 We have some problems with our forum that is due to a low memory limit in PHP. However, I have changed the memory_limit on every place I could found (to 256M), without success. Is there any way to *verify* the set memory_limit? php -i dosen't give me a clue. Further, there is a line enabling "Zend Memory Manager". What is this and should it be on? We are moving the forum to a new server later this year, but it's nice to have it working in the meanwhile. Thanks, /andreas

Query about bridging MediaWiki and IPB on current site PCGamingWiki.com. May pay if necessary. May be opportunity for long term server administration as well. Currently there is a bridge between the Wiki and PHPBB3 as well as a number of other wikis such as this one. I had a person who managed my server and developed the initial Wiki and PHPBB3 bridge, but might not be able to maintain it in the future. I’m deprecating PHPBB3 in favour of IP Board because of its more powerful features. The main objective is to link the accounts, so a user can use the same credentials to login to IP Board and the wikis. I intend to set up IP Board on the subdomain http://community.…

There's plug-in that do this for Wordpress. I wanted to know what options exist for Deferring the parsing of JavaScript IPS suite to speed up page loads. Is this even a good idea for a forum app? I was always wondering if someone would make a hook for Deferring the parsing of JavaScript so the setting would not break with every IPS update.

Hi All...(Hope this is OK to post here.) Well, I am coming today to see if I can find someone that can help with my server config. While I am not new to communities and server etc, I just do not have the time to put into adding items needed and setting a good config. Server is an 8 core Intel® Xeon® CPU X3450 @ 2.67GHz, 16 gigs RAM, and two 15K drives. Running WHM/Cpanel Server is more or less dedicated to http://DBSTalk.com though it does have some other small personal sites on it. Server Version: Apache/2.2.24 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.24 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 mod_bwlimited/1.4 PHP/5.4.14 MySQL 5.0.96 Running XCache Server seems to run fine, however, I j…

I'm having trouble accessing my test forum locally hosted using xampp that I had set up a few months ago. Xampp and the forum is located at c:/xampp/htdocs/forums. The url I'm using is localhost/xampp/htdocs/forums. I tried clearing the cache. I also tried three different browsers, all saying object not found. I can however access this page, localhost/xampp/. And when I use this url, C:/xampp/htdocs/forums/ I see the parent directory. I also tried running xampp with admin rights.

Hello, I just post here because I noticed that a few members have what they call "coded signatures", which are iframes integrated in their signatures so they can show plenty of things with a nice layout. I have nothing against these signatures but I was wondering if iframes get the pages much slower ? As well, what's better between an iframe from a page of my own website and an iframe of a page hosted elsewhere ? Many thanks for your help !

Previously, I was using Xcache 1.3.2, PHP Version 5.3.26, and IPB 3.34 with no issues. Well except that the forum has issues unless you run Xcache Read only protection. Now I have been upgraded to Xcache 2.0.1 (same IPB and PHP versions) ) and I can't seem to get it to work. I am using a Centos 5.9 XENpv VPS (Apache) with 1.5/2.5 Gb memory and 16 CPU's. Even with the default configuration, the second I turn Xcache on via my global config file, my website goes blank. The required apache reboot does nothing. Here is the error from my log file: [26-Jun-2013 07:51:30 UTC] PHP Fatal error: require() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a&…
