Got it. In the context of this thread "Client Area" sounded like something that's found in the Admin Panel.

Cool. Nice work guys. Would you mind explaining what you mean by the "client area", or are supposed to know that already because it's posted someplace else that we're supposed to already know? Asking for a friend.

Two different answers, both vague. Most of us made the change years and years ago and have no clue where/how to "rename the admin folder" or how to "re-upload from the client area", let alone exactly how to modify a config file (or where to even find it). This is all cryptic gibberish. Since IP is forcing this change to non-tech folks, I highly encourage IP to create very explicit, step-by-step instructions for dummies so we don't flood these support forums for help when the change takes effect.

I'm using version Version 4.7.18.

I'm moving my forums to a new server. I'm trying to retain as much of my current server settings in my new server, but I have a few questions on items that appear to be legacy and no longer needed. Lightspeed - can I use it? Is it supported? Should I continue to use PHP-FPM? Core allow_url_fopen: Currently enabled. This setting allows PHP to retrieve remote URL objects like files. It is often disabled for security reasons. Can I disable it? disable_functions: This blocks listed functions from running within PHP. These functions are commonly used in security breaches. Are there any exemptions? doc_root: Used to include scripts and executables in the web server document directories and is considered insecure. Do I need to use it? error_log: The default location where the error logs are written. Does the path matte curl cURL Information: This is the version of cURL used by the PHP package specific to the OS. An updated version may not work the same or have problems installing. See issue. NTLMWB: Used to forward authentication to curl requests using the NTLMWB protocol. This is likely set as the default and different in cURL 7 vs 8. I’m not sure where this setting would be used, or if this setting will have any effect on the applications. PSL: Similar to NTLMWB above. Protocols: These are protocols that curl are allowed to use. The ws and wss protocols are used for web socket communication where the latter is the secure version being done over HTTPs. These are likely the defaults in cURL 7 vs 8. Any recommendations? dba DBA support: Enables PHP to use database abstraction (DBA). It is not likely the forums are using this, and it probably does not need to be enabled. True? enchant A spelling PHP extension. I do not see this as required by the forum. Probably not needed. True? ionCube Loader Used to decode files encoded with the IonCube PHP Encoder. Is this required for the forums? snmp Enables support for managing remote devices using the Simple Network Management Protocol. Is this required?. Zend OPcache An opcode cache for PHP. Not required by the forums, correct?

I have a forum that has "Minimum content count to post" set to 25 posts, yet brand new members with 0 posts are able to post in that forum. What setting am I missing?

Thanks!

Seems there should be an easy answer for this, but I can't find it. Is there a setting or other way to go to the first unread post? When I scroll it will show me a line at the last read post. Other forums I use have that ability to jump to see the new post in the topic/thread. What am I missing here?

Hi, I've been using IC since 2012, currently using 4.7.13. I'm going to upgrade mySQL 5.7 to 8.0 and have a couple questions: What are the recommended steps to upgrade the database from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8? Are there any known issues with the upgrade process? If so, do you have documentation for those issues? Thanks in advance!

I thought there was a way to block one member from posting on a specific topic, but I can't find where to do that. Help!

My members have gotten into a very bad habit of quoting EVERY time they reply to a post. So the topics are flooded with quotes now. It makes it very difficult to read through a thread now. How do I disable the quote function, or at least remove the button?

Yup. This topic needs to be deleted

Nevermind. I figured it out.

Where can I find updates on this?

OK ~ Here ya go These threads have missing images linked from existing Gallery images: https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/252116-top-5-brown-bass-of-2022/ https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/235049-love-new-truck-day-~/ Here are the images: https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/gallery/image/18748-pop-max-mutant-~/?context=new https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/gallery/image/18747-spinner-bait-bass/?context=new https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/gallery/image/18393-654-lbs-~/?context=new https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/gallery/image/18396-568-lbs-~/?context=new https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/gallery/image/18397-620-lbs/?context=new https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/gallery/image/17301-day-1-bjpg/?context=new https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/gallery/image/17300-day-1-ajpg/?context=new https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/gallery/image/17302-day-1-cjpg/?context=new

Nope, no file moves. Haven't done anything new or different. From the member:

Again, he didn't delete them. And now I'm finding this issue on other profiles too, from members that don't they can even delete anything. Geeze....I've discovered several bugs in the past here that were confirmed, but each time I had to go through this huge "denial" process until some other person on these forums confirms they had the same issue on their system too. THEN somebody finally believes me. Why does it have to be so difficult to look into an issue? Why blame the messenger? No need to answer, it's rhetorical/rant. Back to the issue at hand.

I checked with the member who alerted me to this issue, and he said, I agree. This does seem to be affected by images added by "Insert Existing Attachment" function.

Ah, ok. That makes more sense. I thought you originally were referring to "insert existing attachment" function.

In other words, uploading to the Gallery and then linking to the image in a post is not recommended. Is that correct? Then why is that capability enabled? Seems like a recipe for unintended results exactly like this.

Hello, I'm having some trouble with many of the pictures that are inside some of my older threads becoming unviewable. This post, for example: https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/211811-brown-bass-tools-~-questions-answers/page/6/#comment-2722900 All of them are in the member's 'albums, they all loaded fine and don't exceed size limits. Yet they are no longer able to be viewed. These are all hosted on the same server (not hosted on a 3rd party). As you can see, this is a post that's a few years old. Thoughts?

Any reason why the social share links are http: instead of https: ?

Is there a way to prevent a single member from posting on a designated topic, but allowed otherwise post on others? I have a member that continues to post inappropriate things on a particular topic, but is otherwise fine. I'd like to block him from that topic only. Is that possible? If so, how?

Tried it in both Chrome and Edge. Happened in both. Cleared system cache, tried again, still exists.
