There are other sites...just google free icons or free vectors

It is for IPS 4.4. You shouldn’t try it in a not compatible version or at least ask before. 

Since this is a test install, delete the tutorials folder in /applications via FTP and drop its table from your database. You should delete the tutorials rows from core_applications table too.

Thanks!  I learn something everyday, LOL!!

@Adriano Faria

I was messing around with an old copy of Tutorials 2.1.0 RC4 and installed it in my 4.5 Beta 4 test board just to see what would happen...well it didn't work as I assumed but now I can't delete it!  Every time I try, I get a white screen in the ACP.  Hit the back button and refreshes OK but the app is still there.  Any idea how to get it uninstalled? 

@Kyle F

It works ok on my forum but I am using the default theme...

Aren't there some kind of badges on the bottom of avatars in 4.5?  Maybe they could be utilized for a banned tag of some type?  Look at the tag on my avatar...it even has a nice tool tip explaining what it is.

ETA...Jumping ahead, I guess...this might be an option for 4.5 but not current builds, LOL!

Hi Rocket, thank you I have tested it and it looks good, but it is located above the credits (Powered by Invision..) while here what I like is to have it at the very bottom.

You can probably move the variable int the templates to where ever you want it to display in your footer...maybe someone here knows how or I can look into it later?

Try this one out...it seems to be full width on my forum and it's FREE! 

I have a Banned group in my forum that came over from my old MyBB conversion...all the members are tagged with the IPB Banned tag but they are also in a group with a custom group icon.  But yeah, as mentioned above...I would have to manually move newly banned members into the group which is not an option for me either.  Now I have to decide to delete the banned members and banned group or try to move the banned members into the member group and see if they continue to keep banned status?

Following for more ideas...

Thanks, I mainly just needed a refresher!  I forgot to click on the globe to edit the files...once inside the language file, I was good to go!

Is there a way to edit the language files in 4.4.10?  I know there used to be in 3.x...if so, I can just add it to the "...has sent you a message!" line??

I can't be the only one that receive replies from members' PM notifications!  How can I edit the template to say something like, "Please do not reply to this notification...log into your accout and reply from your message inbox!"

I have 2 types of mods on my board...Super Mods can moderate every forum but I also have some regular Mods that can only moderate 1 forum.  How can I set these regular Mods up on IPS to only moderate 1 forum?  I need a little refresher, LOL!

I purchased Donations but it seems to be having some issues with member reward promotions and ACP logging...started a help ticket on Devfuse but no reply in over 5 days!  Does anyone know if Mike is OK.

Says who? 😉 

It’s one of the main reasons to open the sidebar for me and I use it all the time—in contrast to the menu entries. 

I also use Mark Read constantly!  I like the 4.4 mobile menu much better.  (Sorry ☺️)

How can I change the color of tags and prefixes?  I am using the closed system with several defined tags. 

Also, is there any way to make them required for certain forums?

Hello @RocketStang

You can see it in your Admin Cp and customize as you want:

So reactions are actually reputation...

I was expecting a button/link in the post to add rep.  What will show in the profile rep view when you click on a member's rep counter?  Right now all mine say 'nothing here yet.'

What is up with the reputation system in 4.4?  I see a rep counter in the post bit and rep action in the profile but I don't have any buttons in a post to give rep other than the reaction emoji's?  Am I missing something or is this how it is?

I am able to edit the custom profile field from the ACP...I was trying to edit the field from user's profile page.  I wasn't aware that it was admin only when switched off...I assumed that the Mods would also be able to edit in the profile page just like most of the profile page info.  Perhaps a setting could be added as to who can edit a custom field when the member is NOT allowed to edit?

I want to create a custom profile field that Admin can upload an image to selected members.  I was able to do this with no issues, but when I click the toggle to NOT allow members to edit the field, then I, as an Admin, am not able to edit the field anymore!  Am I missing something here?  Another permission somewhere?  Or do I have to flip the switch to allow editing everytime I want to add an image to a member's profile?

I need a way to allow my members to easily upload images to my forum but I'd like them to be 3rd party hosted.  I used to run a plugin on Mybb from imgBB that added a button to the post editor that would open an upload window that actually attached the images right to the user's post!  It was pretty sweet, but I can't seem to get it working for IPS.

Does anyone know of an IPS plugin or any 3rd party plugins that would work on IPS 4.4?

If you have in your acp the setting  "Serve images from local server?" enabled, try to switch it off. This is a bug.

 

Mine is set to DISABLED

I ran into an issue posting Paypal Order Now buttons in a post...the HTML displayed fine, but the button launched the browser back to the first page of the thread??  I had to create a temp HTML page to link to the item's thread for now.  What could be wrong?  The code obviously works but not on IPS?

Here is a test post I set up on my live board...when you click ADD TO CART, it should start to open paypal but as you can see, it sends you back to the post instead...

And I'm not sure if imgBB would work. IPB is what the software was called a long time ago (in the 3.x and previous days). You can try just dropping it into your header and trying? But I can't guarantee results as the software has been called IPS (Invision Power Suite) for well over 5 years.

I know the setting, just curious as to what some of you guys are running for settings? 

So, I just converted over to IPB from MyBB with over 7000 members.  On MyBB I had a plugin that offered members to upload an attachment to a post or PM using ImgBB photo hosting so the attachment never hit their allowed allowance.  IPB doesn't seem to have this so I need to figure out how much allowance to give members so they can freely upload but I don't want to kill my server either!  I do have several paid member levels that offer more upload space and PM storage as perks so I need to make the allowances higher in increments for the user levels.

What are some of you guys using for attachment allowances?

Also, I did find this plugin from imgBB that says it works with IPB but where would I drop the script at?  https://imgbb.com/plugin

Roger that...worked like a charm!  Thanks folks!
