Sorted out, the entire plugins folder also has to be writable, not just hooks.php

Too bad the support tool doesn't check all folders for having proper permissions.

Moved the forums recently, to a new server, more or less everything works as intended, except for this message when I'm trying to install plugins and languages update:

Your plugins/hooks.php file must be writable to create or install a plugin or application.

I set the flags but it's still showing me this warning. What else I can do?

I run a large forum with 35,000 users and have approximately 40GB of attachments from old posts that are no longer being visited. I decided to manually delete these attachments through the admin menu, it involved a lot of clicking since there were about 1,200 pages with 25 attachments on each page. After hours of manual clicking and removing old attachments, I managed to complete the task. Unfortunately, I encountered a problem where the posts still contained links to these attachments, which were no longer functional. This included both image thumbnails and actual attachments in formats such as ZIP files, but all of them were dead and inactive.

Is there a simple way to remove these dead links to the deleted attachments?

Probably since the most recent update (1.4.0) new users stopped have flags next to them, additionaly some old users lost their flags. When I run the tool to add flags to all users, it sometimes adds missing flags, and sometimes it doesn't for some users. Is there a bug? I've tried both detection methods, and using IPS one currently, I see no difference, both options give me the same results.

Oh, ok, didn't know there is a hidden patch, I didn't get any notification about it, and damaged another 2 threads of mine.

Hope it will be fixed fast, this is critical bug to me.

Hello,

There is a thread on my forum that I created over 5 years ago, today I edited the links in the first post of this thread, and suddenly after saving the changes the first post became the newest and disappeared from the position of the first post. The second post in the thread became the first post.

Does anyone know if this is a bug?

What I did to prevent this spam now was:

- added in IPB keywords for verifpro, crypto, datebest, pump_upp - for "Hold content for moderator approval"
- banned IP in cloudflare: 109.107.166.230 (server-109-107-166-230.vmbox.cloud)

It did the trick, for now anyway.

I have similar problem since like a week or two, same type of spam. From old and recent forum users. I'm not sure what to do, and why I have this. Was my forum hacked or it's something else? Shall I Force Password Reset on all users? btw. what message will be emailed to all users if I do? Will there be info that database was hacked? I hope not, users will freak out and blame me. Is there a way to edit a template for such email just in case?

The link will only show with the green tick for users who are the topic starter, and not for mod/admin, in order to encourage them to click the correct answer. For mod/admin it remains as it was

What to do with lazy users, who will never return to the topic and click on the mark as solved button? Can the forums staff have the possibility to tag such posts too, not just topic starters?

The author of this plugin is long time gone. I cannot ask him. 😕

Hi,

I would like to remove one old plugin I have since like forever, but not using it (it's disabled), today I wanted to uninstall it, but getting this error:

EX1146 Something went wrong. Please try again.

A configuration or server error has occurred

Please help.

It worked fine, thank you.

So I should download the zip with the latest version of IPB then copy & overwrite files in my server, then perform the update?

Hi,

Cannot upgrade to 4.6.11 from  4.6.10, getting this:

I have a problem with the country flag icon alignment:

The Alignment is fine when I have wide size of forum window, but when I reduce it to what you see on the screenshot the flag is moving a bit to the bottom. Do you know how to fix that or I have to contact with theme author?

IPS support will not help, they don't support 3rd part applications they said.

Yeah, this is how it looks like to me (there are people who should have colored nicks there but no, they are just default)

And this is ChatBox (it also had colored nicks before):

Noticed I was still on version for 4.3, so upgraded to the 14 and I have colors in the threads. So currently from what I can see they are only missing in the "Who's online" module, and in ChatBox (application).

I have it like this, and still nothing on chatbox and in threads.

I hadn't but I switched to it, yet it doesn't help.

Hi, I have lost colored names in certain places over a night, has something changed recently? I'm on IPB 4.4.1. It was working fine yesterday.

Missing colored user links are on: ChatBox application, in a thread, Who's Online. This is what I 've noticed, maybe there is more

I recently updated to latest IPB 4.2.5, via my smartphone and something went wrong. Now I cannot see the flags next to users, only blank spaces. Is there a way to fix it without losing any already assigned flags? I've tried to update to latest version of plugin but it didn't help.

When I click on IP that is attached to post/message it shows country properly. In example that second IP resolves to: Budapest, Budapest, 1039, Hungary

I will update the board soon.

I'm still on 4.1, and there seem to be bug with country detection.

Two examples:

89.69.227.3 (89-69-227-3.dynamic.chello.pl) and user has german flag.
62.165.216.146 ( 85-238-70-80.pool.digikabel.hu) user has german flag again.
