We are releasing patches for IP.Board 3.3.x and IP.Board 3.4.x to address two issues recently reported to us. It has been brought to our attention that certain PHP configurations allow for a potential SQL injection vulnerability. Although this exploit requires some knowledge of your configuration and for certain files to be web-readable, we felt it important to release an update. Additionally, i…
IPS is investigating a possible security exploit reported to us a few hours ago.

IPS Community Suite 4.0 is nearly here, and we'll be distributing betas very soon. But 4.0 is really just the beginning; with the new tightly integrated, one-version suite of applications, we're already starting to think about all of the features we'd like to add in the future. This brings us nicely to the final 4.0 feature we'd like to talk about: the upgrade system.
In 4.0, when a new version …
If you like living on the edge and testing new products we would love your help in testing IPS Community Suite 4.0!
We now have pre-release versions available for download if you are an active Community Suite license holder. Pre-Release vs. Beta
This is a pre-release which means we are not quite done adding/changing some areas of the Suite. It also means that you cannot upgrade between each p…

We know most of you are just as excited as we are about this and can't wait to try it out.
With 4.0, we've made some significant leaps in terms of modernization, and it's possi…
I want to briefly show our new cover photo support. Cover photos allow users to upload an image to represent something in the community; we currently support them in profiles and calendar events and may roll out support to other areas later.
Here's a video of it in action for a calendar event.
It's really simple to use, and of course still works responsively like the rest of our default them…
We've previously shown how responsiveness works in the AdminCP, but I'd like to briefly introduce responsiveness on the front end, and pick a few views to show you as examples (this will be a screenshot-heavy entry!) What is responsiveness?
Before we get to that, allow me to recap what responsiveness is. Responsive design is a method by which you design one page in such a way that it adapts for…
Profiles are one of the key sections of a community, as everyone knows. They are what represent your users; where their information is shown and their content is gathered. When users contribute quality content to your community, their profile is where other users go to find it in one place. In short, it's an important area.
In IPS4, profiles have had a complete makeover. There's a lot to cover, …
