I fifth or sixth it. Whatever number we are on.. lol

Or people could learn that for every download, there is the admin folder. Once you realize you have found the admin folder, extract all the folders/files that are displayed to the web-root of your forum. It's not rocket science. lol

Simple precautions can be taken: Make sure conf_global.php has only 444 permissions, and that everything else has 755 permissions. The only folders (recurrsively) that should be set to 777 are downloads, public, cache, and uploads. (Credit to IPS for that tidbit) As well, any passwords used to access something that controls your forum (SSH, FTP, and/or Control Panel), make sure they are all different. This way if someone gets your forum password, it's not the end of the world. Another good thing is to change the admin directory, and put a password on it. This way if they find your hidden directory, they still need ANOTHER login to even access your ACP. :) If you use cPanel, Kloxo or something similar, you should create a client/reseller account that does not have the privledges to delete MySQL databases/rows. This way, you can randomly generate a massive password for the main account, and write it down (so it can't be electronically hacked), and if the account you created gets hacked, your databases won't be compromised. I've done all of that, it works very well. But you can only protect yourself so far. Good luck!

The ACP can still run about 80% of the time. It just depends on the MySQL error. Mail is managed by the ACP, so yes, it is possible. Find the function that logs a MySQL error, and add a sendmail function to send it to your address. (Or just write one in php and save yourself some time.)

I don't see any use for it in IP.Board, other than for Administrators. Where one user would be at the top, and the rest wouldn't be allowed to Manage (Edit, Move, Delete, Create) anything to do with Administrators. It's easy to use ACP Restrictions for this though.

I mean, Recount Posts. So it recounts everyone post count every specified # of whenever.

Just a simple suggestion, but could a "Automatically Rebuild Posts" option be made available as a Task in the System Scheduler? Maybe have it disabled by default. My forum is heavily post count based (For Permissions, Updates, Subscriptions, etc.) as that is all that is available to use as an upgrade option (Usergroup to Usergroup, etc.) by IPS. It would be nice to be able to enable a task that auto rebuilds. As well, and auto Recache feature, which will automatically recache the entire website. Disabled by default as well.

In order to receive support, please make a topic in the Peer-to-Peer Technical Support -> IP.Board section, while signed in under your Active Customers account.

bump, should be seen.

I second both ideas. :o +REP

Well I was referring to signing in.

bump, is this still going to be implemented?

+REP for the idea of removing the tabs. Never knew they could use search and have results they cannot use, kind of pointless lol...

Just a simple question. When you file a dispute against IPS for an issue like shawnking's, will IPS issue a refund? To the best of my understanding, he paid for the products, but does not get to manage his own purchases. So, if he (since he already has) files a dispute with a reason such as, I paid for this product, and cannot use it on my own board, will you issue a refund and remove the product from that account?

From IPS's perspective, they aren't looking for who pays for the products on that account, they only look for who created and owns the account. Meaning if my accounts products were paid for by someone else, they can't show up and claim this account is theirs, just because they paid for the stuff. Otherwise, just like Charles said, it would cause chaos.

That may be, but he could have bought the IP.Blog application to use on his website that uses IP.Board, without a support license. IP.Board only states that you may not receive technical support / upgrades once it expires. Therefore, the applications should be purchasable without an existing subscription to IP.Board.

+REP, very good idea! and if it's enabled, and the Remove 'Thanks....' redirect pages? is enabled or disabled, the link redirection page should always show.

So, you wish to have a different primary login? Just use .htaccess. I could never get it to work on a linux dedicated server, but I know they work with cPanels, etc.

Is it possible to make use of reCAPTCHA as an available option in the Security section (System Settings) and select which Usergroups will use it, or just add a "Yes", "No" basis in every Usergroup? I know it's built into Guests, if you allow them to send PMs.

Obviously none of you are grasping the concept that it's an optional feature to beging with. We would simple like it to be a built-in feature that will allow those specific IP.Board license holders to utilize such a feature if their own forums are capable of such a thing. There are always the Administrators to watch users who get too high too fast, etc.

I was thinking about this as well, +REP.

Compared to 2.3.6 on my dedicated server, the speed increased tremendously. We get 50+ active users a day, massive amounts of monthly bandwidth usage, several skins, huge topics, etc. I run my website on a dedicated server as well, 2GB ram. Works perfectly fine.

IPS Staff manually screens all transactions to help prevent fraudulent transactions. This should have been noticed after you returned back to IPS after making your payment. Once they verify your payment is legitimate, they will send you another email saying "Welcome to <product_name>".

That's sort of what I was referring to, but what that wouldn't help with is: What if a user never makes a post? It would be nice to have a system where the IP is recorded regardless of whether or not they make a post, and could just update an array of some sort. Like in the Administrator IP Lookup, it lists where the IP has been used, how about a "Has been used to Login" one? Catch my drift?

Just wondering, could you add a feature where it would store reg_ip_address as the current ip_address in the _members table, and a current_ip_address. Where the current_ip_address would update everytime you login, and can be viewable by Super Moderators / Administrators, and Forum Moderators through a checkbox selection in the abilities area. (Forums) I was going to implement it myself, but would rather not damage the board.
