    Rheddy got a reaction from Fierce God in Disable Personal Messages Until Post Count Reached   
    There used to be a third party addon for this feature I'm about to ask for but I think that IPS should add the option for administrators to restrict PM messages for usergroups until they reach a certain number of posted messages or responses on the forums. Sometimes you run into the problem where someone new to your community will register for an account and instead of posting on the forums, they send a barrage of personal messages to forum staff or the general members in some weird advertising campaign. I actually had this happen before where someone signed up for an account and sent unsolicited PMs to members on my site without posting a single message.
    It's a problem that I think I'm not the only one who has experienced this.

    Rheddy got a reaction from Cannabis Connect in Everybody is choosing "Night Mode" nowadays....   
    Personally, I like the idea of a "dark mode" and it's something that IPS should consider. Why? Because, like a lot of people out there, I suffer from eye strain. My eyes are sensitive to bright light so having a dark mode is much easier and more relaxing on my eyes. Many people suffer from this. But, I also think that this is something that should be offered on the front end where the end user can select the option through their user account.
    Keep in mind that I don't think it should be added just because "everyone else is using it". But, only from the perspective that it would make for a more comfortable experience for the end users. Eye strain is a major problem in just about every country out there whose people surf the internet these days. I look at it more as an "accessibility" issue rather than "just because everyone else doing it".

    When I've problems like that, I run into ACP and recache or run any tool available (Support tool) in the ACP. If the problem still persists, then I log into cPanel on my site and then run a repair on the database that runs my forums. Trust me, I've run into a problem or two in the past and doing that saved me from a world of headaches. cPanel allows me repair my database if something is wrong and it has served me well in the past.

    Click on the "Client Area" link at the top of any page here on the IPS site (like this link: https://www.invisioncommunity.com/clientarea/), then click on the Support tab and open a new support ticket (New Request). The "Client Area" link can be found at the top of any page on the IPS site, even on the forums and in the marketplace. 😄

    Try contacting support. They should be able to resolve the issue for you. It's probably just an easy fix for them. I had a problem with guests posting after my upgrade and that there was a new option since I upgraded the last time that over-rode Guest permissions and it had me stumped until I was pointed in the right direction.

    Rheddy got a reaction from elonegenio in What is the point of activity stream?   
    I have to say that my community doesn't like it either. I would purchase a plugin that restored the old functionality of the "View New Content" feature of IPS3. I think that Activity Streams is just too much of a radical change. Personally, it feels too much like RSS Feeds. One would think that with so many licensed users if IPS complaining about the same thing, that maybe enabling the previous feature, alongside with Activity Streams, that it would be a sort of compromise until communities can get used to the feature. I'm also bothered by the fact that IPS seems to be relying too much on AJAX and that just because a few communities like the feature doesn't mean that the IPS family at large enjoys.
    I don't agree that it should be removed but I think that a compromise should be considered, adding VNC back into the software. Even creating such a VNC link doesn't do the same as the original VNC feature.

    This chat bites. After uploading the files to the directories required, there is no option to install this in the ACP. There are no settings in ACP. And nowhere to enter in the chat key. This was just a waste of time.

    When the final version is released, is it going to be free to those who have an active license to IPB?

    You're right and I apologize. I was just aggravated at the time and shouldn't have said that.

    I believe what was causing my particular problem was XCache. When I was knee deep in skinning work for IP.Board 3.0, I had to disable XCache as changes I was making to the skin would not be reflected immediately. And there doesn't seem to be any way to disable XCache on a per-directory basis or even on a domain basis (it's affects all the domains you have on a server). Since I haven't done any skinning work in a while, I forgot about this issue.

    I know you and everyone at Invision are working quite hard and I very much appreciate it. I'm looking forward to watching IP.Chat stabilize and evolve over time.

    Do not submit a support ticket - it's a beta - we won't be able to assist.

    If you are experiencing a problem and you're sure you [url=" everything correctly, please file a bug report so a developer can look into it.
    It sounds like Depotoir you didn't uninstall the original chat application first, which the instructions says to do (in bold, prefixed by the word "Important")

    IP.Chat and IP.Shoutbox are 2 different things :o

    IP.Shoutbox is made by a few community guys for free, and it is released at IPS Resources but that doesn't mean its an official release. IP. Chat is an official BETA release. Hope that clears it up.

    Actually, you're incorrect. IP.Shoutbox is an official IPS release and it's released by IPS Resources. Check out the information at IPS Resources. I'm just not bothering with either of these releases because of the problems I'm having with their installs. It's really bothersome that I've had these problems with installing these addons.
