Works. How about the headers and stuff like that though? Is there a way to make them semi-transparent? Never mind. I'm just using a CSS viewer tool right now to find stuff. Thanks for the help Justin. I also have one last question though, when I add a title to a menu or something, it defaults to lowercase. I want it to be uppercase though, is there any way to fix this?

Hey guys. So today I finally found the perfect skin for my forum (Baisik by IPBFS) and I'm in the process of customizing it. I have one simple question though: I want to make the content area (where the post content and stuff is) transparent so you can see the background, similar to the Snapshot skin. I know this can be done in ipb_styles.css, but I can't find where to do it. Anyone know?

This worked perfectly. Thanks a ton Justin! Also, Lock Down, got the same error when I tried the gzip, not sure why But anyways, thanks to both of you for your help!

But the issue is, my host only allows up to an 8,192 KB upload at one time (Mine is 17.8 MB), so I pretty much have to zip it if I want to upload it as a whole. Will I have to like do it in parts since it goes over the limit?

Hey guys, So recently after switching hosts, I wanted to reupload my old data. I know how to do that, so I just exported the database in a zip file. However, when I try to upload it to my new host, I get this error: #1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'PK' at line 1 Is there any way to fix this? I really don't want to upload everything in separate parts... Thanks in advance.

MyBB has a converter for IPB 2.1-2.3, however, they don't have one for 3.4.3 at this time.

You must have an IPS client account in order to download files from them. IP.Board is not free, so you're gonna have to pay if you want to get a legit copy of IPB and be able to access their client and download areas. Otherwise, you can't have access.

Wow, completely forgot lol. Yah, reaching didn't work, but rebuilding everything did. Thanks a ton for your help, it solved the issue!

Alright, thanks. I have to go atm, but I'll do it in the morning, I'll let you know what happens. Thanks for your help! Alright, did what you said. Now I get this error:

OK, so if I add in the cache_store file, this issue should be solved? And I'm currently on shared hosting. I'm almost positive I have no access to my php.ini file since I had been looking into it earlier.

Gonna put this on Pastie: http://pastie.org/7274098 Judging from that file, does it mean that I have to upload/fix those SQL files?

Nope. Just get a driver error every time.

Hey guys. Once again, I'm in need of some help. I'm in the process of transferring my site over to a new host. I know how to do so, however, since my host has a phpMyAdmin upload limit, I can only upload a certain amount of files (8,000 something KB) I cannot upload them all at once, and major files such as the skin cache are prohibiting me from uploading it due to their size. So instead of uploading them all at once, I decided I'd just upload smaller items (posts, topics, forums, etc.) and keep all the tables that come with IPB by default. However, after I'm done, no matter how sure I am that I've done everything correctly, I get a driver error. Is there a way to fix this? Or is there a way I can bypass the phpMyAdmin upload limit? Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

Alright, thanks.

Yah, but I got kicked out as soon as the files I was uploading finished uploading. Literally. I was trying to install the Applications System addon. Regarding the install thing, so you could run a board without a license key legally basically?

You have a point... Offshore host recommendations anyone? But also Purple, how would they figure out that it's not legit in the first place? Like I know that if the copyrights don't lead to the official IPS site, than you definetly know it's nulled, but are there other ways? And like I said, I normally just use retail, but I never knew it was easier to get caught with retail...?

Yah, I figured I was pretty much screwed. At least I have a backup from like a month ago, better than losing everything. Anyways, regarding hosting, since I'm at it, I'm just gonna go for paid hosting now since I've been on free hosting forever. I found a host that's very cheap and has very good reviews, but they're onshore sadly. I'm not really sure if you could get away with non-official copies of IPB on an onshore host, can you? Like Davlin said, larger hosts like GoDaddy will likely never utilize a program like what x10 has because of the humongous client base that they have. So could I get away with it? Or would you guys reccomend going offshore to stay on the safe side? If you do reccomend offshore, any good hosts that you know of?

It's not nulled, it's a retail copy lol. Not that stupid Duff, can't take backups. Account is completely locked. To anyone wondering: it wasn't the actual IPB software that got me suspended, it was a mod that gave a false positive for nulled software, my bad luck.

I've had my community going for almost a year now. I've been running IPB on it, since I absolutely love IPB. I'm just using a retail copy with no license on it, since I'm not fond of nulled. Yesterday, while uploading some files to my database (using x10Hosting) it kicked me out and told me I was suspended for nulled/illegal scripts. My IPB copy is retail, so definetly not the issue. Turns out that x10 has a system which detects nulled software and stuff, and apparently the files I tried uploading yesterday were either nulled or it gave a false positive to the system. So, I don't have a license or anything. My last backup was from like February 5th and we've had quite a few posts since then, so I'm screwed if I can't get back onto my account or at least somewhat screwed. I submitted an appeal and made a forum thread, here's the replies I got from their staff: http://x10hosting.com/forums/free-hosting/184341-account-suspended-urgent.html#post903260 What the heck should I do? I really would like to get my data, but at least I have one backup from a month ago, better than losing everything I guess. But still, I really want to get it back if possible. Ideas anyone? And also, I'd love to buy IPB, but we haven't met our donation goal for the forum software, and I really can't pay it out of pocket atm. All suggestions are appreciated.

Okay, that worked perfectly! Thanks a ton Para!

Hi guys. Today, I got the Spectrum skin for IPB 3.4.3. I want my community to have a default color set for all the headers and stuff (black). The skin does not have any documentation for this unless you've paid for it (which I've obviously not done). I did some searching and sadly, I couldn't find anything that was exactly what I was looking for. I know changing this means going into the ipb_styles.css file, however, I cannot find the line that will let me change the default background color (Spectrum has a color changer for those of you who don't know) Just a clue as to how I want it to look: The default for everything is blue, I want it to be black.

I've always wondered, is it possible to downgrade my IP.Board version? I'm on 3.4.3 right now and I have this really nice theme, however, it isn't updated yet, so it kinda ticks me off. So yah, it is possible?

Well, I did this and I ended up screwing it up more, so I kinda wasted my time lol. Well, the new version of the skin was released today, so I guess I'll go make a request for it. Anyways, thanks for your help Para! This topic can be locked.

I decided to give this a shot and nothing changed?

What version of the hidden content mod are you using?
