When temporarily banning a member for 7 days, I mistakenly banned his IP.  When his time was up, I found out what I had done because the member as well as other members with overlapping IP's were turning up banned still.

The member I banned had just over 1,000 IP's (40 pages @ 25 each page).  He's been a member for 17 years.  I had to delete them all one at a time.  That's on me... my mistake.  It would be nice if there were an option to mass delete.

Just a thought...

Thanks

I'm afraid, there is no method to mass delete these.

You might suggest to add an option.  Ol' Mitch F had 40 pages of IP's @ 25 each.  I've deleted them all.  Lots of fun!

I do thank you for your help, @Jim M

For a temporary ban, I would not recommend banning the user's IP addresses. I understand looking at the UI where some confusion can happen but this is a separate segment and any IP ban is permanent and would not unban after the duration set for the member ban. If you're using CloudFlare or another reverse proxy and have not enabled "Trust IP addresses provided by proxies?" in ACP -> System -> Advanced Configuration, would be using the IP address of CloudFlare's proxy server instead of the actual user's IP address thus creating issues.

I would recommend removing all IP addresses from your ban list if this is causing issues.

Is there a way to do this other than removing them one at a time?  I'm not using CloudFlare.  I didn't think I was banning his IP but like I said this was my first time doing this so I must have missed it.  Thanks

If that member is using the same ip as other members. have you considered the possibility that he has multiple accounts?

Anyways, if they are all sharing the same ip for legit reasons, you can avoid banning the ip addresses. A simple ban on the username will do.

The members affected live in the same area - St Louis.  On their accounts, each show using dozens of IP's.  Some obviously overlap.  Thanks!

For the first time, I banned a member for 7 days.  I thought it was straight forward - banned him and set the date for 7 days later.

Four weeks later, he's not banned but all his IP's are on the ban list.  Problem is, there are dozens of other members that use the same IP's and are finding themselves banned.  Each time I have to go in and delete the IP's off the list but there are hundreds.

What did I do wrong and how can I fix it?

It wasn't until I put ALL my ads back to the regular format before my forum was back to normal... ads were popping up all over the place, singles and doubles.  

I'm glad someone else is having issues.  I just initiated them.  This is what I'm getting:

Double ads.

Ad over the post, not in between posts.  

Anybody else seeing this?

Phil, the plugin does what it should do: it will create a new article based on a topic/post. That's all.

Ok.  Still love the plug in. Thanks

I have to correct myself and at the same time ask a question.

I have not found a way to hide the promoted article from news feeds.  Am I missing it somewhere or can it be done?

It shows up in everybody's Unread Content and it's annoying because it's a duplicate post.

It creates an article in Pages but does creates an identical post on the forum, like in 3x.  I just go and "hide" that post.  I guess I could delete it as well.  There might be a setting or toggle that stops the post... I haven't used it enough to know my around it.

It worked perfectly.

Wish I found this 2 years ago!

I'll try another...  I have used that post, testing other features. 

@Adriano Faria  Installed your plug in.  Everything looked fine till I tried to promote an article.

Please advise.

Can't believe you're doing this for $10.  I'd gladly pay you for your valuable time!  This is what I've been waiting for since Invision took it out of service.

Thank you.

Does that mean an administrator cannot ? I dont see it at all ... but thats not really an issue as I prefer to keep using your plugin. its plain and simple and does all that i need .

I did find this... you go in to plug in / edit and choose who - Allowed to use the feature   Highlight admin or root admin.
