Smokey-Rev reacted to Jim M in Changed URLfor site, now have broken images?
Go to /admin/upgrade to complete the upgrade process. Sounds like you may have applied a patch file but have not run the upgrader yet.

As Adriano said there, if you log out of the marketplace and back in, it rechecks your client status, and therefore corrects the problem

Smokey-Rev reacted to Randy Calvert in Update Has Broken CiC Site
Normal updates don’t cause this many problems typically. However there are HUGE differences between PHP 7 and 8.
PHP7 is no longer supported by PHP itself… as a result, IPS had to move to it to protect customers. The IPB software is fully compatible with PHP8.
The third party resources you installed however were not. And that ultimately was your problem.
Given that the normal monthly updates don’t all have that big of a chance, it should not be a regular occurrence. As a best practice however before applying updates… if moving between major versions such as 4.6 to 4.7 to in the future 4.8, you may want to confirm with whatever third party resource developers that you’re using that their resource is compatible with the latest version.

Smokey-Rev reacted to Marc Stridgen in Forum Stats, when do they update??
Please check this again tomorrow, as stats themselves would only update once per day

Smokey-Rev reacted to Jim M in Update Has Broken CiC Site
That would be correct. If you do not update your third party add-ons, they can become incompatible thus cause errors which could take your community offline, unfortunately. If you have third party add-ons, you need to review these prior to upgrading the core platform. We try to take all precautions possible with warnings and such but ultimately, this is your responsibility before clicking the upgrade button to ensure it is all compatible.

Your hosting provider/server administrator would be able to inform you the best way to disable them on your account/server.

Smokey-Rev got a reaction from Tom T in Dissapointed in the lack of refund policy
When buying ANYTHING digital, via online especially, you CANNOT get a refund once the files or software are in your possession, this should be for OBVIOUS reasons, but if they aren't obvious enough, I will state them:
- What's stopping you from claming a refund then still using or illegally re-distributing the software? Nothing. It'd be your word against theirs
-You'd still have access to the support forums and the client area.
Next time DON'T rush into purchasing software, research it, and research it EXTENSIVELY. Write this off as a lesson learn't and move on.
Just out of curiousity, what can't you do with IPB? There is an applications/modules/plugins system in place that should be able to take care of about 98% of your needs as far as modifications go. There really shouldn't be any need to edit any of the system's core files for any reason.

Smokey-Rev got a reaction from .Ian in vBulletin Refugees
Let me try my best to clear up certain things that people are still unsure of regarding the following:
* bounced email handling - integrated
* wiki - IP.Content/CCS does the job
* cyb advanced forum rules - IPS has a BoardRules function built in See the Forum Rules here (Alternatively, you can make a page using IP.Content)
* GARS (reviews) - There is a tutorials mod available that i'm sure can be altered to suit reviews.
* Invitation system - Here
* reputation system - Built in
* reputation comments in posts - Mod - This may suit you or This
* reputation moderation - built in
* multiple account detection and handling
* post report system - built in
* vb's infraction system - built in
* member help / support / ticket system - Mod, and there are quite a few available, look aroud, can't find a link :)
* real IP detection (see trough proxies)
* reciprocal links directory - Not sure if this is what you're looking for....
* verify email before registration - Built in
* facebook like chat - Not sure
* full featured chat room - IRC
* canned replies - built in
* vb's thread prefixes - Not sure if this is possible yet, there may be a mod :)
* donation system - Here
* vbexperience - iPoints system
Hope I was able to help clear that up for a few users!
Also IPS naturally has equivilant add-ons to some vB add-ons:
IP.Gallery (vBGallery)
IP.Blog (vBlog)
IP.Downloads (Full featured Download System)
IP.Tracker (equivilent to Project Tools)
IP.Content - Fully functional and powerful CMS/Portal system (better than vBACMPS)

Smokey-Rev got a reaction from GemaldeGR in IP.Board 3.0.0 RC 2
I'm in no hurry for 3.0.0, perfectly fine on 2.3, have a big modification i'm having coded at the moment so i'm probably gonna stay on 2.3 for a good while before going to 3.0.0 even after it goes final. :)

Smokey-Rev got a reaction from Brett B in Why arent bbcodes protected functions
Wouldn't that cause potential security issues though? Allowing javascript to be posted?
