Is this a self-hosted forum or a IPS cloud forum?  

If it's self hosted...  

• Make a full backup of your data (just in case!)
• Remove all of the IPS related files from your website
• Remove the mySQL database and database user associated with your IPB instance
• If you're not keeping your license, submit a ticket asking for your license to be set to not be automatically renewed. https://invisioncommunity.com/contact-us/. 

If it's IPS hosted...

• Submit a ticket and ask for the service to be ended.  (You might also ask for a copy of the data just in case!) 

Hi Randy,  shot you a pm

Hello all,

After almost 12 years, i am closing my forum down,

And is simple as it may be, i am not sure on the correct steps to do so.

Any help/advice would be much appreciated.

Hi Geoff,

Luminous will never be updated. The best solution would be if you simply get a new theme.

Best regards

 

PS: I guess you messaged the wrong person 

Seems its still going ?

Hi all,

I have recently upgraded my forum to 4.6,  there are a few layout issues as the custom skin we use "Luminous" has not been updated as yet.

I tried to message the person on here who owns Luminous, only to find he does not have the message option in his profile........

Is there a time frame for custom skins to be updated for new versions of IP ?

Thanks in advance,

Geoff

Any idea when the Luminous skin will be updated to suit 4.6.4  ?

Cheers

what theme you using? 

Luminous

Hello,

After upgrading my forum tonight, i chose the wrong option at the end, and now i have the new ranking thing with crazy big icons etc...

Rookie mistake!!

Is there any way of getting back or revering back to the old style system, pre upgrade ??

Thank you in advance.

I understand that, I was just curious what kind of support you are looking for?

Is it regular management? Customizations or community management for example?

Yes, have sent you a pm.

Hi Jimi,

I am struggling to find local support here in Australia, it appears all the tech savvy people that offer support on here are overseas, it makes things tricky.

I started off with VBulletin many years ago, and know that there is no shortage of people that know their way around it, who are local..

Still on the hunt for someone local if there is anyone out there

Maybe there is no other choice but to go back to Vbulletin

I have sent you a pm DawPi

Hi,

why Australia? We're here and there to help you online. 🙂

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

Being local in Australia helps in many ways, as in being on the same time, the language barrier etc etc.

I have had tech help from this forum over the years, UK, Italy, Turkey etc, it becomes tricky...

Is there nobody in Australia on here at all?  just curious ?!

Hello,

I currently have someone helping me out with technical support on my forum, but they are away a lot, and often not easy to get in contact with.

My question is,  is there anyone else in this group that is located in Australia, that knows their way around IPB well enough to help out?

Happy to pay for work if its done properly and promptly.

Thanks in advance,

Geoff

You are welcome. You can set it up from your forum 's Advertisements section. You can search for it in your admin panel and it will bring you there. And from there you can create your ads and manage them. Everything is explained in that guide above. 

Thank you kindly

Hi. You can use google adsense. Ipb has a very good Advertaising feature built in. In addition please see this article.

 

Hi Miss_B,

Thank you for sharing,  sadly i am a newbie and not tech savvy, and have no idea how to get that happening...

Good evening all,

Firstly, i am very green and new to all of this, so please excuse my ignorance.

I have a forum that is 10 years old, i think it is about time it made me a few bucks back..

I have a decent amount of members - 6000+ and decent traffic....

Any ideas, advice etc, would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Geoffro
