I take this back. This setting still isn't working properly. It will show new topics, but not new posts in a topic I've already read.

Found it. Any way to set this as the default setting for all users? I'm trying to find a mass update so that I can update all profiles with this setting.

Is there a way to change the behavior of the "View New Content" link? I would much rather have it display the most recent... say 150.... threads that had activity in them. Right now, if I am looking a the thread list, read a few, and then log in from another computer, only the threads created since I last logged in are shown even though there are still threads that I haven't read. I'm on IPB3.04

It was an apache configuration problem. Up next. I need a mod_rewrite rule to convert http://www.cheersandgears.com/boards/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=168 to http://www.cheersandgears.com/index.php?showforum=168 I'm really new at this mod_rewrite stuff.... can anyone help?

I'm trying to activate the mod_rewrite built into IPB3.0 but having some difficulty. It looks like it rewrites the URL, but the server doesn't know what to do with it after that and returns a 404. This is the .htaccess file I have <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> Options -MultiViews RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\..+$ RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> any tips?

Did you have to massage that mod at all to get it to show the icons in the forums? They show in gallery and on my front page, but not in a forum thread.

There's a great hook if you just want adsense adds. http://invisionmodding.com/index.php?autocom=downloads&showfile=1396

Cheater! You added that to the end of your post after I read it!

Are you having any crawl issues with having that *.php in there? I added that line to my robots.txt, tested a thread in Webmaster tools, and it came up as blocked.

doing further research today.. it seems that Bing really likes it if you put the path to your sitemap files in your robots.txt If you're using the sitemaps mod from this post Then you'll want to add these to the second line of your robots.txt after the "User-agent: *" sitemap: http://www.myforumname.com/indexsitemap.xml sitemap: http://www.myforumname.com/topicsitemap.xml sitemap: http://www.myforumname.com/forumsitemap.xml sitemap: http://www.myforumname.com/galleyImages.xml sitemap: http://www.myforumname.com/galleyAlbums.xml sitemap: http://www.myforumname.com/galleyCategories.xml sitemap: http://www.myforumname.com/eventsitemap.xml edit: Yes, "gallery" is misspelled "galley". It's a spelling error in the code of the mod.

For those of you out there using the Unreal Portal add in, you probably want to remove "Unreal Portal" from the page title. To do this, edit /admin/applications_addon/other/uportal/modules_public/uportal/uportal.php Find the line: $this->registry->output->setTitle( "{$this->settings['board_name']} - {$this->lang->words['page_title']}" ); and change it to: $this->registry->output->setTitle( "{$this->settings['board_name']}" );

They could link into threads in the forum or have information about auto show locations and times

You see any reason I shouldn't include the calendar? We use the calendar on my website to track the dates for the contests that we hold and the information for the major autoshows.

anyone have a good "robots.txt" for IPB3? All of the ones I've found have been for IPB2.x

It's ok, but it doesn't send the full url to the every social network and the user has to go cut and paste sometimes. I also think most of my users don't even know it's there. I'd much rather have a bar full of tiny icons at the top of each post or forum.

Cheers from CheersandGears.com! I've been an IPB admin since about the Reagan administration, but I just recently got aggressive with SEO. Upgraded to IPB3 in early November, just hunting for more tips and tricks.

Whatever people share on the web is, by definition, social media. Almost all social media is just "Hey! check out this awesome link/video/pic! You'll ROFL!". If you have a bunch of videos that people like and share... then it's social media and you can use it to drive some traffic.

My facebook fan page for Cheers and Gears is growing rapidly. I cross post a lot of our bigger stories over to the facebook page for people who might be fans but not actually members. 230 members and it's only 2 months old. It brings a LOT of traffic. CheersandGears.com Facebook Page

Does anyone know of a good base skin that cuts down on the amount of whitespace in IPB3? I did an upgrade to the new software earlier this month and that is by far my biggest complaint.
