Works fine for me. :unsure:

Yeah, it does come up at times, but it's not like you'd need to be changing it every week or something, right?

Got it straightened out with Charles, thanks :)

I don't see it there anywhere. :unsure:

The announcement mentioned this:

The Spam Monitoring Service will be available in IP.Board 3.0.2 and is already being tested here on the IPS company forums. Once you have IP.Board 3.0.2, simply login to the IPS client area and activate a special key used for the service and put that key on your IP.Board AdminCP.

While starting the 3.0.1 > 3.0.2 upgrade I encountered this, is it serious or should I just continue?

Error: ALTER TABLE profile_portal DROP fb_status;

Can't DROP 'fb_status'; check that column/key exists

But how would the system know if a user is in the ACP before it initiates the database connection? It has to check the admin_sessions table to verify if a user is in the ACP.

when you download 3.0.2

Bump to bring this back up for discussion, this is currently the big stumbling block preventing some really awesome uses of the Hooks system. :)

Really?

Damn, I need to look around for that.

If you don't want him updating his status, then you should be suspending his account. All you're doing right now is moderating his posts, that does nothing for things like status updates, signatures, avatars, personal conversations, emails, blogs, galleries, etc., etc. Why should just status updates be included as something they are restricted from updating when they are on post moderation?

It is a known issue, will be fixed in 3.0.2:

I realize this, but you can do that with a lot of the BBCodes you have pre-installed. I was talking about making it a standard BBCode. And plus, if it was developed by IPB and not as an add-on, it could potentially be a lot more useful and advanced.

Just remember, if you are banning that many IP addresses, those addresses need to be saved in the banfilters cache and reloaded on every page to check to see if the active user is in that list. That can add quite a lot of overhead if you have hundreds of IPs banned.

yup you can do but not sure about license

Can a sticky not be put in this forum? Every weekend people post this topic and it's clearly a stumbling block that many of your newest customers are unaware of (or not understanding in their excitement once they've bought the software). :)

In previous versions, it was possible to click a link in the permission masks page to preview that permission mask. It seems that this has been removed in 3.0? I found it pretty helpful when creating a new group to be able to verify this was set correctly. In fact, I think it should be something you should get to from the groups page. Let me explain.

The way I set up my masks is by having the default 'members' mask give access to the standard forums, and is in use by the Members group. Additional groups I create also use this mask, as well as their own unique mask which just gives them those additional forum(s) that group gets access to. It would be nice if I could preview a group's overall permissions considering all of their masks. The only way I could test an issue I had with this recently was by creating a test account, I shouldn't need to do that to check this.

No actually it was something that was supposed to be shipped in the "next betas."

Same excuse for the next beta:

Feb 20, 2009: New Statement: "Subscription Manager is not included in this beta." -

Beta 4, yup,

same statement

What about Beta 5? Actually, there is no mentioning of the subscription manager here. -

No report on the subscription manager for RC1 *and* RC2.

But we do get another excuse once 3.0 came out.

"[color="#ff0000"]The subscriptions manager and MS-SQL database driver are not yet available. They will be released separately very soon. Our apologies for the delay. Rest assured we are making these releases a priority.[/color]" - June 25 2009

Let's compare that with this statement made a year ago

"[color="#ff0000"]Chat Services and Subscription Manager are not included in this beta. They will be available in future betas.[/color]" - December 22 2008

If you just want to PM them, why are you wanting to go to the ACP to do it?

I'm looking at the code for 1.3 right now, it has no per-group settings for the Active Users list, nor does it check to see if the active user is an Admin. Maybe it was like what you're describing in 1.2 or older, but I'm doubting it.

Regardless, it is a good suggestion for being a built-in feature. :)

Having a global option or at least a per group setting to allow / disallow it for them would be nice. This was possible in IPB 1.x days and I found it very useful to have.

No, there is no way around it, if javascript was allowed to be posted in the editor you'd run into all kinds of security issues.

Who should we report it to?

That is weird, has anyone reported it yet?
