When I go tot he support page in my control panel, I get this recommendation. InnoDB database tables typically perform more efficiently and reliably than other database engines such as MyISAM on most modern hosts when configured correctly. It is strongly encouraged to ensure all of your database tables are using the InnoDB storage engine, and that your hosting provider has configured MySQL for InnoDB use. Right now, I have a mix of MySam and InnoDB tables. I know how to swap them all to InnoDB but when I asked my host about it, this was their response. You need to convert only tables that benefits greatly from being under InnoDB. Please refer the link to r…

Hi, everyone. This morning I thought that over the years the forum had a ton of posts which include various links to other websites. Fact is that many of those links now lead to nowhere, to defunct sites, etc. I suppose google isn't taking kindly to such links. Is there a bulk way to scan forum for such broken links and list them? An option would be to automatically modify the link in bulk to remove the <a> tag from such links. What do you think?

I was trying to leverage badges and group promotion rules. It seems as though the trigger for badge assignment doesnt fire in IP Downloads. This is the flow.... I upload a file to IP Downloads (I am the author) From the front end of IP Downloads, I change the author to User2 (now they are the author) User 2 now has a IP Files count of 1, but the badge for "First File Uploaded" doesnt fire Since the badge of First File Uploaded doesnt fire, the Group Promotion rule to promote them from Member to Contributor doesnt fire I am not sure if there is a task that catches them up at a later date, but I feel like I shouldnt have to manually run all the b…

I have potentially taken on the task of migrating a 4.4.10 version to a new server and obviously upgrading to the latest and greatest version. What would be the easiest and best steps to do this without much hassle? The old version is mainly just a messageboard, so just lots of users and posts to migrate. Thanks!

I have a sync job that backs up my website, every time it runs, there are always 1-2 files that will not come down....which makes my backup job have a warning rather than a good icon. What are these doing? Why is it just these two files out of 10's of thousands of files? I get that I can probably ignore, but I want to resolve!

Is it possible to have that post scroller on the right hand side of the post? Where you can scroll through the posts in a timeline setting? That is a feature the community likes as we look to migrate to other platforms. Another Example to the right of the post from Unreal Engine:

Hello guys, I’m looking to move my community over to IPS. I’ve had a few people tell me they had some trouble with the admin dashboard being ungodly slow on the litespeed engine with cPanel and cloudlinux. I already ran the compatibility checker and it came up with no problems for the hosting environment. Is there a known list of issues between IPS and litespeed that I should be aware of before going through with the migration and purchase? If so, is there a way to resolve them before or after the community swap is done?

I'm trying to emulate some of the things that IPS has done on its current community theme, and am getting stuck on the navbar and the dropdown menus that are being used there. I'm currently trying to include an ipsMenu dialog dropdown into my test theme navbar, but I am not getting a very great UX here. While I can essentially place a button and ipsMenu within the Navbar area, and it looks pretty good, the issues arise whenever you try to hover over the dropdown menu itself. It keeps disappearing, as if the site thinks you've placed your focus elsewhere. I can't think of any reason why it's doing this, perhaps IPS staff have an idea or some tips on how to make this w…

Dear all, It has been 3 days that my community is attacked by spam accounts. These users are able to register, passing the spam verification, and to post more than 10 topics in minutes. It happens 2 or 3 times a day. Am I the only one having this issue? Maybe there is a problem with the last version of the platform?

I have a mix of Inno and MySam tables. A LOT of MySam. I know how to change them one at a time but don't know how to change them all at once. Can somebody give me a step by step on how to change them all to Inno? I know just enough to destroy everything. I tried the following query but it didn't work, Said something about formatting errors. Also exactly where in PHP do I run it?

I'm considering moving to IPS cloud hosting, but find it hard to justify the cost of ElasticSearch. It starts at $95 per month from Elastic. This is something I have installed on my server for free. I believe it's possible to use OpenSearch from AWS as a service, but it's really hard to figure out how much the price would be for using the service. Looking at this page, I can't tell if I need to spend $0.036 per hour or $7.00 per hour or something in between. https://aws.amazon.com/opensearch-service/pricing/ Does anyone have any idea how to calculate the true cost?

So I went into WHM on my server and enabled 8.1.... Do I need to change this to match the previous handlers, or leave it on this new setting? Also can I just flip my IPB forum domain to use PHP 8.1? Then go see if anything is broken on my website. If it is, can I just flip it back to 7.4?

Hello everyone, I want to make my posts more professional, I would like to know how I create a carousel of images to present as a slideshow inside a post? So I can talk about something and instead of having several single images, I would like to put them all in a carousel for the member, when viewing the post, to be able to browse the images in a more natural way. Is there any way to do this, even if it's html?
