Hello.. reading this thread, just recently I've gotten spammed hard.. I've saived the emails.. thought there was a way perhaps to report them but now I'm thinking it is probably a lost cause. How do I get the "Image Verification mod" you mention so I can try it? If I use that, will I lose my existing entries? Thanks, Ron

Yes, I installed what you had to offer here and it is 2.0.15. .. so you are saying it could be a bad installation. Ok. I've only had one person join and post. is there a way to save that person and what she wrote and put it back in with the new installation?

I just recently installed phpbbs.. I noticed invisionbbs is no longer an option. After configuring the site.. when I logon to the board.. I literally have to logon twice before it acknowledges I'm online. I have the forums set to registered. Does anyone know if there is any relation or what I have to do so that you only have to log on once? It's like my initial logon never happened. Thanks. Ron

Yes, I was finally able to get the gif replaced. I had to upload the gif and then using file manager rename the gif on the site for it to work. Now I'm having issues with this.. log into your admin CP goto skins and templates manage HTML templates manage HTML global HTML elements select Board Header (logo, links, etc) > edit about 14 lines down you will find the place to modify. look for img src='{ibf.vars.img_url}/logo.jpg' I can't get this to work once I get to manage HTML.. there is nothing there to edit.

Hello.. I tried these direction.. log into your admin CP goto skins and templates manage HTML templates manage HTML global HTML elements select Board Header (logo, links, etc) > edit about 14 lines down you will find the place to modify. look for img src='{ibf.vars.img_url}/logo.jpg' however once I get to "manage HTML".. there is nothing there to edit. This is a new install and I have managed to replaced the current graphic with my own however I need to do a bit more editing. I need to adjust the centering and remove the url and possibly remove the rest of the blue bar. Is there another way to get there besides following these directions? Thanks.

I don't see why not, give it a try <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've been trying to do just that. What file is it that is pointing to logo4.gif? Seems like something else is pointing to that file. Even if I just rename my file.. it doesn't seem to want to work.

If you don't have a web site up yet but you type in your domain name and it shows you basically.. what you have in your root and folders.. is it possible to make it so that if someone types in your domain.. all they get is.. a blank page or some message rather than be able to see what you have? I want them to be able to type in www.domainname.com/name to get to my bulletin board or whatever and if they screw up and just type in www.domainname.com or whatever.. I don't want them to see anything except for a blank page or a message or something. Thanks,

I took a look.. is it possible to replace the banner with a graphic that is completely different in size in every way?

Ok, after doing a bit of investigating.. I did the following and it worked. I created a group called "user", then I edited the specific forum and took permission away from the "user" group.. then I found a user and adjusted that name to the group "user" and then I clicked on mask and clicked on over ride with the "user" group permission and updated it. I went back in under that user and viola.. was unable to see anything that user group wasn't meant to see. If I did that correctly.. Thanks!

I created a user access group called "users", I then set a person to that access level. I then edited a forum to that access level.. when I logged in.. I was still able to see much more than what I wanted. This is why I feel a bit more detail may be needed as I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Thanks.

Thanks.. could you please give me a bit more detail on this one in this area.. a tad confusing and it's not quite working "cut and dry". Thanks

Thank you. I appreciate that.

Hello, I've installed IPB.. I'm trying to place a graphic jpeg in place of the blue banner. The graphic is on my hard drive and I'm trying to figure out how to simply upload it and see it appear. Next, I've created a few forums and a new user group.. what I want to do is.. I want to have the ability to have members join and NOT let them see specific forums or categories created. So if a regular member signs in.. they couldn't see a category or forum that was created for say Forum Owners.. but the Forum owners can see it. So in essense.. I want to be able to allow some members see some things and others not. I noticed on the IPB site they have different software there which allows you to "show forum". I've been messing with stuff and I got it to disappear once.. but I don't really understand what I am or am not doing. Ok, now that this may be clear as Mud! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ron
