I checked spam too, I'm not a complete idiot, there's nothing in there. Still. Checked again now. Should be 3 replies . . . but there's not even one. Meanwhile, just to make super duper sure, I changed my email address in my control panel. It's now at hey.com, supposedly one of the most technically solid email addresses in existence. I won't post it here, but that's the domain of email address you should use now, just to make as absolutely certain as possible there's absolutely NO WAY I'm not getting any email you sent. Please try sending your replies there where there's virtually zero chance I won't receive them, or just post them here so I can see them too, because clearly I never got these others? Thanks.

I've just filled it out three times, each time it said I'd receive a confirmation at my email account, but each time, nothing? And I checked the email address, and I've received other email at same in the meantime, SO?? I could reiterate it all here but in case someone is actually paying attention to this and did actually get my forms even without confirmation . . . maybe you already know? Some sign of life from someone working here would be splendid, thanks.

OH . . . somehow I thought it was a plugin, as in, within the ACP, System > Site Features > Plugins. So it's actually that same area, but Applications? And then once I go there, as that area of the ACP says "Select the .tar application distribution you would like to install," I would just select the entire downloaded .tar file, not anything that was extracted? (If you could go ahead and confirm that, as I'm a bit of a scaredycat when it comes to installing things, that'd be great, thanks!)

Hi there. I feel like a total dork for having to ask this, but I just purchased your plugin. Where are the installation instructions? I've looked through the downloaded package and the download page in Marketplace, and I'm not seeing anything. I guess I could just try to figure it out, but as that might involve installing the wrong thing, I'm really loathe to do that, seems risky. So basically, plugin purchased and downloaded . . . now what? Help? Please?

Hi there. I recently purchased your Easy Pages, the newer version for IPS 4.x. I attempted to follow your instructions, including looking at the examples provided on the purchase page, but those were apparently insufficient for me. I'm not seeing any additional instructions included with the package itself? But meanwhile, why I purchased it, I would very much like to create a copy of each member's profile, on a new page (an easy page), then allow them access to that when logged in. I could go into lengthy detail as to why, but I don't imagine that's interesting to anyone else, so I won't. Just briefly, I want to display some additional fields I'm going to add to the profiles but on an additional page, this does have a legitimate use for me. HOWEVER, whenever I attempt that, the format renders (I did select place within theme), but all the text is just the php code itself, as if it were typed as text. OR, if I had the settings various other ways, the URL doesn't load anything at all, blank page. I guess you could call that an error. I've experimented with the settings, I obviously could still be getting those wrong, but I either get the thing I just described (the php code renders just as text, doesn't execute anything) or nothing happens, blank page. Could you just explain to me the way I would go about this? I have a feeling I'm just trying to go about this in some wrongheaded way, and if you provided an at least brief explanation of how I'd go about this, I imagine I could get this done about 5000% more quickly. Thanks!

Hi there. I've already purchased Rules, the full version, and I'm trying to do something that seems like it should be simple, but it's just not working. I could go into what I tried that didn't work, but I think it would be faster just to describe what I'd like to do and have you tell me how, hopefully? After users register for my board and validate their email address, they're in one group that requires content approval. After one item of content is approved, they are moved to another Approved group that gets more privileges. That's all working just fine, but I did that via the Groups settings. I'd just like to send another email telling the user they are now in the Approved group after that happens. And, it's not a problem with sending email in general, other emails are going out, but not that one. I tried with a few different email addresses, registration emails coming through, but nothing after that. Help?

I'm still bummed there's no app from you that will do this! But I hear what you're saying, and thanks again for your reply.

Wow, so disappointed! I thought somehow this would be possible with one of your products. You don't happen to have any hints or tips for me as to how something like this could actually be accomplished, do you? I mean, a little bit more specifically than just "custom programming." Is there any other way to do this other than Rules that wouldn't be massively difficult? Any other Marketplace anything or just . . . point me in the general direction, maybe?

Hi there, Kevin. I've read in here that you have a number of different applications with different expansion packs, which I'd be more than happy to purchase, if I could get them to do something I'd like to do with my board. (I'm imagining this one, Rules, is more likely than Groups, but I really don't know for sure.) And I IMAGINE that's possible, because they seem to have so many features and possibilities happening. But perhaps because that's the case, I'm not yet able to imagine exactly HOW I'd get them to do what I'd like to do. I think I'd need a fairly close example or more detailed instructions. Not just to decide whether or not to purchase, but to be able to figure out how to get it working at all. Basically, I want to do some sort of member profile sort or filter that would be like what you'd imagine for a personals site. A sort, of sorts, but more complicated than just something like sort by date joined, that's the only criteria, etc. Like, some custom fields in each member's profile could be compared to those of other members, such that only a smaller subset of the entire list of members would be displayed for each member that was logged in, only their "matching" members. And then some way to display that new thing/sort/filter that was created, like a URL or a tab or . . . something. Something that could be linked to for them to click upon. I don't know if it could be something with the actual Member List in IPB (along with one or more of your apps), or . . . something else? But if it were the Member List, something that would be different for each member, only containing a smaller subset of all the members, just for them, based on their criteria/custom fields in their profile. And there would need to be multiple criteria used for the sort. Or again, if not the Member List itself, than just any other way of accomplishing something very similar, basically. Possible? Help? Suggestions?
