    Using phpmail by itself generally requires NO configuration in the software if your host is setup properly. The host would ensure a service like sendmail is setup on the server and configured. You should not need credentials to use it etc. The web server (Apache) should already be a trusted sender. SMTP however is a different beast. It runs on different potential port numbers depending on what version of encryption is being used (if any at all) and requires credentials to be passed if it’s not open to the world for abuse. If using SMTP you would need to pass a lot of specific data for it to connect. Glad you got it working. 🙂

    No… not really. Especially not REAL DDoS attacks. Great for marketing hype… not overly useful in the real world.

    Remember… order of operations matters. Once a change is made on the server, the cdn cache needs popped and then the local browser cache needs popped if it’s there also. If you do it out of order, you could end up redownloading an old/bad object again unintentionally.

    Check the database table again... did that table get removed again? If so, it sounds like a problem with your hosting provider. I'm assuming you have not installed any 3rd party resources recently. If so, have you confirmed they're removed as the source of the problem by removing them?

    Is there anything in the admin log to reflect something was deleted by a human via ACP?
  6. Randy Calvert
    Yes… that’s by design. You would need some sort of third party modification to prevent that. I’m personally ALWAYS using multiple devices as I switch from phone to laptop to tablet.

    NET:ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID This would indicate their server’s SSL certificate is invalid. Most likely because the certificate’s issuing authority is not trusted by the browser as in the earlier message it was a self-signed certificate.

    IPS has said that Pages will be getting some love in the 5.x line. So it will be interesting to see what is cooking!

    I assume you fixed your conf_global.php to reflect the new correct base URL. After you do that, try clearing your system cache from the ACP help section.

    You might want to make sure this new version of PHP has all the system requirements installed.

    I would also check to make sure your new server meets the requirements. Grab the requirement checker script and run it on the new location to make sure a required module is not missing as well.

    This would be handy for virtual meeting locations such as a site chat room or a Zoom meeting room, etc.

    To change the default group for new members you can edit your conf_global.php. Details can be found in the following thread: You can then create a rule to promote users to the full user group once the required post count is reached. The other thing you could do is just move all existing members into the new group and rename the existing one to something like Newbies. (Thats what I did so I did not have to edit any files from default values.)

    I don’t think there is much IPS can do for you. Their privacy policy would most likely prevent them from sharing any info they have for him. You might be better off working with your bank regarding a chargeback if you did not get what you paid for.

    It's possible he is using some sort of VPN or other software on his computer (ad removal tool for example) that is causing the problem. It could also be a plugin installed within the browser that is the problem. Either way... there is not much IPS can do about it. And yes, gallery is a bit different than forum uploads... the workflow is different, it calls different URLs (which could be choking up in say that VPN or ad removal software). Personally I think you're focusing on the wrong area. Don't think about what the site is doing. It does not matter. What is the end user's device doing and what is interacting with it. That's where your problem is at and that is the only spot you're really going to solve it.

    What kind of ads are you using? If you are using their version of Auto Ads, or Page Level ads, you can't use the IPB advertising system. In order to use auto ads, you have to edit your theme to have it add the ad code for specific groups.
  17. Randy Calvert
    This could be caused by a firewall, a WAF or another security tool such as mod_security. You might want to evaluate your entire stack to see what it is doing and how it impacts your site.
  18. Randy Calvert
    You can either wait till it’s fixed or do a manual update by downloading a set of files from the client area, uploading them to your site and running domain.com/admin/upgrade.

    Thats by design based on the type of club that was created. If the club is open, the content is discoverable. You can read about the different types of clubs above. If you don’t want it discoverable, have an admin join some random club (thus working around the bug) and then change the default stream to not include clubs in the result. That achieves the outcome you are asking about.
  20. Randy Calvert
    The bug is that menu option that I mentioned only shows in the ACP if you are viewing it from an account that is in a club. As a workaround until the bug is fixed, have your admin account join some random club. At that point it should see the option I posted to filter clubs.
  21. Randy Calvert
    Well it looks like that’s already done. Just had not scrolled enough to see it. 🙂
  22. Randy Calvert
    You’re welcome to suggest this in the feedback forum for it to be considered later.

    In no way can IPS do anything with this. In a self hosted setup, all of the work is done at DNS and having a logo file hosted. In IPS cloud, email does not come from the domain itself. Otherwise it would require cloud also taking over email hosting AND having AWS approve each domain to send email. (There are other threads that talk about that.) Basically if you want this, you can do it on your own outside of IPB. It’s not something that can be setup at all through the software. Just realize if you do peruse it … that setup will not work with most major mail providers without you spending over 1K per year and proving you have a registered trademark for your logo.

    Take a look at the reg_confirm_email and reg_confirm_email_desc language strings. They should let you change the message displayed in your screenshot.

    If they waited till they had everything fully ready, you would not have anything until super close to completion. They’re sharing info as they can… but like anything you don’t want to promise something you can’t deliver. If they THOUGHT they could do a super cool new thing and shared it but it turned out it could not made to be worked fully well, people would blame IPS for the next 20 years about it. (Yes, it really has happened.) They talk about features once they are comfortable that they’re going to actually happen and that they can deliver on them as promised instead of promising vaporware.
