Thanks a million, Jim 🙃

You use the strlen function to determine the length of the topic title during quick editing (by click). Therefore, the length in Russian is determined to be 2 times longer than the real one.

And when fully editing mb_strlen. I created the theme a year ago, it still hasn't been fixed 🙁

Thank you very much! 👍 I will read the documentation from A to Z soon.

If, as an administrator, I accidentally make a mistake and cannot go through 2FA, what should I do?

In which database tables should I fix what?

Yes, asking "What is the name of the UK capital?" it would be strange 🤣

Yes.

And that's cool! I'll try it today, thanks! 👍

I'm making up a list of questions. And each user gives their own answer. Right?

Why didn't the IPB authors make sure that each user came up with individual questions for himself?

We strongly recommend using 2FA

I tried the security questions. A very strange thing! I didn't understand how this would secure the account 🤔

Is there a tool (utility) that checks the correctness of the rights to files/directories?

Why does the user need, for example, administrative functions such as
GRANT,  SUPER,  PROCESS,  RELOAD,  SHUTDOWN ... CREATE USER? 🤔

My suggestion would be to give it full permission.

I have a separate user for the IPB database.

For structure, you'll need ALTER, CREATE, INDEX and DROP at least.

It seems to me that this is for upgrades 🙂

 SELECT
 INSERT
 UPDATE
 DELETE

Is that all? Or does IPB need something else?

P.S.: It would be good to note this in the IPB documentation.

What minimum permissions does IPS recommend giving MySQL users for maximum safety?

It's great, but there's not enough user ban in a specific topic and a specific section.

This is a bug that was fixed in 4.7.6.

Yes, I have 4.7.5 🤦‍♂️  Today I will make an update to 4.7.7. Thank you!

The IPS anti-spam system works like a sieve. Bots pass freely as a rule.

Why is there no filter for registration by location (country)?

I have all bots, for example, from foreign IP.

I would like to see an order of magnitude more flexible anti-spam configuration system (this is without the IPS anti-spam service!)

Letters stopped coming when complaining about the post.

I'm subscribed to them.

The rest of the emails from the forum are coming.

I didn't change the settings. This seems to have happened after upgrading to 4.7.6(5).

What could be the problem?

When editing in Russian, when clicking on the topic name, the length of the title is calculated incorrectly and an error appears.

When you click "Edit" everything is processed correctly.

I have already made a complaint about this, but the bug is still not fixed.

Why there is no mark "Active/inactive question". So that you can turn them on and off, and not save them in a text file and enter them into the table every time?

Very feeble interface and features. IPS is engaged in decorating, but there are almost no real technical necessary things. This is bad 😞

It would be recommended to not use simple mathematic equations.

Of course! This was just an example of a dynamic question. But in IPS, you can't create N questions with answers and output a random one every time - that's a big drawback.

Bots remember answers very quickly and spam.

We need a dynamic system of questions and answers (for example, simple arithmetic operations, some simple puzzles)

He paid me through a friend, who now works in Europe 🙂

When working on the user's content (subject, message), you can now send a notification to him.

But it must be compiled every time! It's very tiring.

Are there pre-installed patterns or the ability to create them?
