Thanks very much. I really appreciate it.

Is there really a way to block traffic from specific countries? I'd rather not jump to such an extreme of course, just wondering. Yes, I have logged into my Admin Panel on many occasions. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to make it intuitive or conveniently designed, no matter how many times I log in or am forcebly redirected to a useless part of it. If I'm logged in with an account with Admin privileges, why do I need to waste time going to a specific control panel page to do critical things that could be easily accessed from any page that shows members or their content? I can flag them as

I'm sure I'm just missing it, but could you please tell me where this option is? I looked everywhere I can think of and see it nowhere, not in Spam prevention, and not in posting etc.

Our forum is OVERRUN DAILY BY SPAM! DUE TO POOR SPAM OPTIONS IT TAKES AT LEAST AN HOUR A DAY TO REMOVE IT AND BAN THE SPAMMERS, ONLY FOR THE SAME TO HAPPEN HOURS LATER!!! 100 percent of the spam uses EAST ASIAN KANJI! WE ARE AN ENGLISH ONLY FORUM! ZERO PERCENT OF OUR REAL USERS USE KANJI. WHY CAN'T WE AUTO-DETECT USERS WHO POST MORE THAN ONE POST A MINUTE AFTER THEY REGISTER AND WHO CREATE POSTS USING NON LATIN CHARACTERS AND WHY CANT THE IPS SYSTEM BE SET UP TO BAN THEM AUTOMATICALLY?!? WHY CAN I NOT MARK AS SPAMMER AND HAVE ALL THEIR CONTENT HIDDEN IMMEDIATELY, THEN DELETED AUT

Hi, I'm using the slider and using the following code to add a button. Any idea how I can change the position of the button to somewhere near the bottom left corner of the slider? "<a class="ipsButton ipsButton_medium ipsButton_important" href="https://brashmonkey.com/forum/index.php?/store/product/30-spriter-2-pre-order/"></i> Pre-order Now</a>" You can see the slider I'm talking about here: https://brashmonkey.com/forum/ Thanks very much,

Commerce. Needs per item sales data ASAP! Please help
Michael Parent replied to Michael Parent's topic in Feature Suggestions
This does NOT help me. I don't need to know HOW MAN of each item sold, I need to know the TOTAL REVENUE for a specific product, regardless of coupon codes etc etc.. I can' simply multiply number of that product sold by its retail price because there are discounts for types of forum members and coupon codes etc! It's frankly INSANE that I have to go into the itemized sales list for EACH PRODUCT AND THEN click the magnifying glass icon for each and every freaking sale to get the actual amount paid in that particular purchase, then add them all up, hoping I didn't accidentally miss one or c -
Hi everyone. I'm looking for a skilled programmer who's familiar with the IPS Commerce system who can create a script to import all of my customer data from my old store system through DPD into my new store system on Commerce. We originally used DPD (https://getdpd.com/) to sell our products online, but have switched many months ago to Commerce on our IPS system. The problem is, we need to import all the old customer accounts and the info for what products they own to the Commerce system so we can close out the DPD account and more easily serve all customers. I downloaded all cust

Currently the only option for referral banner links is for them to link to the FORUM main page! Why can't we make the banners link TO THE STORE?!? An affiliate of ours has been spending money on advertising only to discover his banners were linking to our FORUMS main page and not to the actual STORE! I'm not asking to link to specific products, though that (could also be useful), I'm asking for an option to have the referral banners LINK TO THE STORE and not the forums main page. Please help!

Hi, I'm stunned and very disappointing the Commerce system offers no way to get sales data for specific products sold through the system! We're selling more and more products, some of which were co-created by third parties who will receive a cut of the revenue. How the heck an I supposed to give them reports of the sales and what their cut will be? Please help, I've never seen another merchant system lack this incredibly critical and basic feature and as we add more products it will be completely impossible to continue to stay on the Commerce system without these per item sale

I contacted our publisher and am waiting for verification, but I think he may have made a template tweak to the outgoing emails specifically for gift cards, because even if one updates the image for gift cards for the store, the email sends the generic gift card image. Please fix that so we don;t feel the need to "customize" templates after every update. Thanks. -

shouldn't the IPS people test their updates before releasing a forum destroying bomb on their paying customers, and be on alert to fix the problems their "updates" create after releasing them? This was not a beta update that was released "test at your own risk". I was told yo update to see if it fixes a bug I reported. -

same issue here. I attempted the auto update and got an error, then manual downloaded the update, uploaded, then logged in to update, and got this error message" /home/content/67/9110567/html/username/forum/system/Db/Select.php::321 " sigh... very frustrating, stressful and very bad for business..
