Never mind, found it, silly ACP search brings up only "rules" when you search for "Achievements" if you drop the "s" and search for "Achievement" it brings up the settings to turn it off.

I just noticed when clicking on the 3  dots at the top right of a post there is an option to "Reward [Member]", how do I turn that off? For some reason it does not show on my test install but does on my live forum?

Thanks

Yes, I found many instances of this happening with Firefox online and has been reported many times to Firefox while searching for a cause to my problem. I sent the "fix" to my members that were having the problem and it resolved it for them also. Funny though it did not do the jump to the bottom here at IPS but I am running v4.7.2.1

The problem appears to be with Firefox, here is how I solved it...

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste anch and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the layout.css.scroll-anchoring.enabled preference to switch the value from true to false
 

On my forum when viewing a topic where there are several pages of the topic when clicking on the next page or even page number it always goes to the bottom of the next page? Why is this happening? Does the same on the default IPS theme also. Does not happen here so must be a setting somewhere?

Thanks for any help with this

Does anyone know of a plugin that will enhance the "Sign Up" button either by it pulsing, blinking, a bouncing arrow pointing to it? Many of my members are older and I keep getting contact emails that they want to join my forum and they can't seem to see the sign up button (I assume).

Thanks

Thank You, I used this for the transparency effect, worked perfect.

.ipsModal {
	background: rgba(69,123,153,0.7);
}

This is the CSS code, now if somebody can tell me how to get the blue color added that would be great

Thanks

.ipsModal {
	background: rgba( var(--theme-area_background_dark), 0.7 );
	position: fixed;
	top: 0;
	bottom: 0;
	left: 0;
	right: 0;
	z-index: 15000;
}

When you click on the "Mark site read" here on IPS board the background changes to a blue color. How can I change the color of the default 4.7 color?

Thanks

I also hated the way this looks and changed mine a long time ago, but it does involve changing a template. Many of my members have a profile photo and I wanted it out of the area where the photo goes.

Great plugin, makes it so much easier when new registrations come in for admin to correct mistakes made on the registration form.

Thank you!

Another question about the Who's Online...In previous versions when you hovered over the user name it would show what that member was currently viewing (which topic) is this no longer the case with 4.7.2.1? Currently it just says Online Now.

Thanks

Please someone tell me how to stop the IPS Update banner that pops up every day. I get it, you want me to update, but not everyone wants to until they are sure everything including all apps have been updated and is VERY ANNOYING every day!!!

Thanks for help with this

It is not $40 a year, you only need to pay $10, but if there is a major IPS update which causes the plugin to not work then you would just have to pay another $10 for the update.

UPDATE: The htaccess script did not work so my hosting provider had sent me an email to see if I was "satisfied" with the support I got and you can guess what I told them, I also told them I was searching for another host that would be able to accommodate me! Then the next day I get another email from a senior support person and lo and behold he fixed the problem with some script in a special server php that only affects my domain on the server, so it can be done just have to be persistent!

Jim,

Thank you for the quick reply! I "usually" have notes on my computer for every change I make with the forum so I can refer to them later but somehow I did not make that note so when I recently changed all logins to email rather than display name when upgrading to 4.7.2.1 it was then wrong. All fixed now.

I already looked at that in the language but I don't see the wording I am concerned with

A new member just sent me this from an email they received. I have logins set to email address (not display name) but the email says "not your email address". Where does this get changed or is this a bug?

Welcome to XXX Forum and thank you for joining. You can now sign in with your username (not your email address) and the password you chose when signing up.

Thanks

Friendly URL's tab> In the middle "download this file"

Thanks a bunch Marc! I downloaded the correct one and uploaded it to my directory. Seems all is well.

I have this htaccess file in my IPS forums directory and checking to see if this is the correct code? I am running 4.7.2.1 with PHP 8.0 - just trying to clean things up a bit since my board has been running for 20 years now and may have some "stray" stuff lingering!

Thanks

They sent me a script to put in the .htaccess file, will see if it works, seems to take a day for the notification to pop up again.

Just got off the phone again with my host and got a 3rd support person and they said to put it in the .htaccess file but no guarantees it will work there either and php.ini is definately not allowed on their shared servers, so I wonder why all these years I never got that notification BEFORE upgrading to 4.7.2.1????

Can't seem to get rid of this problem. Have talked to host support, first support person said need to create php.ini file and placed this in the public_html folder

disable_functions = "exec,system,passthru,pcntl_exec,popen,proc_open,shell_exec"

did not work, called host back, got different support person and they stated "oh, we don't allow php.ini on a shared server" so need to make a .users.ini file with the same code as above. That did not work either still got notification in the acp. I then placed the .user.ini in the forum folder did not work, placed the php.ini in the forum folder did not work. It is my understanding that the disable_functions does not work in a .user.ini file?

This problem only started after upgrading to 4.7.2.1 from 4.5 version

How do I get this problem solved???? Please don't tell me I get no support because I am on a self-hosted site as I have a license and have for 20 years!

Thanks

All fixed, nevermind

Was my hosting server, had some kind of failure all good now.
