#1986444 Donations for Autism Research and Support

Posted IPS News on 13 July 2010 - 11:12 AM

Invision Power Services is collecting donations for Autism Speaks using the Donations feature in our upcoming IP.Nexus product. This is a great way to test the development progress of IP.Nexus and collect funds for a good cause. IPS will donate the total amount raised, in addition to our own contribution, to support autism research and support for families. We are sure that our great community of customers will be able to raise funds for this cause and we hope you participate.

About Autism Speaks

Quote

At Autism Speaks, our goal is to change the future for all who struggle with autism spectrum disorders.

We are dedicated to funding global biomedical research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and cure for autism; to raising public awareness about autism and its effects on individuals, families, and society; and to bringing hope to all who deal with the hardships of this disorder. We are committed to raising the funds necessary to support these goals.

Autism Speaks aims to bring the autism community together as one strong voice to urge the government and private sector to listen to our concerns and take action to address this urgent global health crisis. It is our firm belief that, working together, we will find the missing pieces of the puzzle.

Autism Speaks. It's time to listen.

How to Donate

You can donate via the side-bar box on the IPS community index or go to the Donation section in client area.

If anyone wishes to donate directly to Autism Speaks without going through our Donation system we encourage you to do so. If you choose this route and want to be counted in the total donation amount here, please contact Charles with your donation receipt from Autism Speaks.

Thank you for your generosity and support.


#1794928 PM Flood Control for IP.Board 2.3.6

Posted IPS News on 08 April 2009 - 05:05 PM

[font size='3']PM Flood Control Patch for Invision Power Board 2.3.6 Released[/font]

We have received numerous reports from clients regarding spamming on the Personal Message (PM) system in IP.Board 2.3.6 and below. After consulting with reCaptcha (the provider of the captcha system in 2.3.6) we believe that humans are being used to bypass the captcha and then the newly created account is given to an automated script which sends PMs in huge quantities to your members.

The patch we have released today introduces a flood control setting to the PM system in IP.Board 2.3.6. This will limit how fast a member can send PMs thereby giving you and your moderators time to ban the offending account.

The download of 2.3.6 in the client area has been updated with this patch. If you already have 2.3.6 installed, you can download the patch along with instructions right in this topic. Applying the patch is quite easy but if you have questions feel free to contact support. If you would like support to apply the patch for you be sure to include your admin username and password, and if you are not an IPS hosting customer, your FTP details.


Upcoming IP.Board 3.0.0

IP.Board 3.0.0 contains this update already and new spam mitigation tools such as timed user group promotion. We are also exploring new centralized spam identification and banning services which we hope to have updates for you very soon!
