I read the thread about who created IBS, but I was surprised to see that a bunch of the moderators/admins/whatever are currently in IB. How is it that they (you guys) got to that position? Did you help finance the site, create new things, etc.? Just pure curiosity... cause I know IBS is older than some of the people in charge so I was confused

I just wanted to ask a question about the new reputation system. When you rep someone, will that person know who has repped them? Similarly, if you get repped, will you ever know who repped you? Secondly, is it possible to open a helpdesk thread in the About forum so that people can post mini questions about the inner-workings of IBS without opening new threads?

Hi everyone, If you have a legitimate reason why you feel your account needs to be deleted, please contact either Mahuta or Sandwich via PM explaining why, and we'll happily remove it for you. Please note that intending to discontinue using the site, being bored of it, no longer requiring your account and so on are not considered reasons for account deletion. It's absolutely fine to just stop using your account one day and let it fall inactive. The staff will no longer be deleting accounts without a decent-ish reason for doing so, as deleting accounts is an entirely pointless task for both you and us under normal circumstances. If you are worried about IBS distracti…

This is the place for you to ask any question you may have on how to submit your works or notes for upload on the forum, or on donwloading of notes and essays already on the forum. Before you ask anything, however please read the FAQ carefully first. Additionally, if you would like to be able to save word documents as PDFs, Microsoft Office has an add-on called "Save as PDF". The file is attached for the sake of convenience but it can also be found on the microsoft office website. SaveAsPDF.zip Thank you, The IBSurvival Team.

loving this new feature, but can there be an option for us to ignore others' profile pictures/avatars? I'd really really like to ignore someone's picture as it's so disgusting I wanna punch. perhaps there's such feature, thanks!

So a person asked for help in a status update on IBSurvival and when I try to send a private message to this person it says that they "cannot use the messaging system" and so I am unable to do anything. Does anyone know what could cause this? It says "(Validating)" next to this person's username in the drop-down list at the "Compose New Message" -page. Could this have something to do with this issue?

Every time I log on IBsurvival from google, the browser automatically redirects to ht@tp://url@[email protected]/bef@ddb86. (remove the @s) Checked on different computers and networks: not my problem. I found this from another forum: Our forums had been exploited though a security hole in Invision Power Board. This has now been patched and everything is back to normal. Thanks for letting us know!! Code had been added though this exploit to steal Google search engine traffic.

From some users I have heard that you need to post a hundred times in order to be able to download files, however there is no such thing stated in any topic or the FAQ where it only says that you need to be a VIP member. What about this 100 posts thing, does it give you permission to download files or not?

It seems if you have HTML in your sig, your signature doesn't display properly on your profile, it just prints the html code. I switched back to using bbcode but just thought I'd post it here in case. As for the suggestion, I was hoping if it would be possible to have the lines adjusted a bit in the signatures, it looks like I'm skipping a whole line in mine. Plus, the preview in the Edit Signature section looks different from what you see in posts thanks to that Anyways, I tried adding "line-height: 1;" to the signature block in the ipb_style.css and it seems to fix everything.. So I guess that's my suggestion, adding a line to the css Would appreciate it though, makes…

To my utter concern and total disappointment I realized that ibsurvival lacks a favicon; that is, a small icon for the website that is displayed just left of the URL at the top of your browser as well as in your bookmarks list. I made one for you guys from the latest logo of the IBO -- it's properly formatted but before use it has to be renamed favicon.ico. I think it gives a nice, unique touch to the site on everyone's bookmark lists! I've attached two versions that differ in the way they are compressed, but it should make no practical difference on appearance. Dumping the file into to the root directory should be enough to enable the icon -- no changes should be necess…

When someone edits their post after posting it, there is a little caption at the bottom of the post saying something like.. "Capt'n Marth has edited this post, 21:42" Something like that. But when I change my screen name and I go to that post, my old username is still in that caption. Maybe it should be changed too? It seems better to me.

I suggest considering creating a new forum for Language A and then prefixes for Language A Literature and Language A Literature&Language. I don't know yet what their official names are, but you probably could find that out from the IBO website. or you could probably change the forum names to "Language A" and "Language B and Ab Initio" and tell in the description that (old) A1 discussions should take place in Language A forum, and (old) A1, B, Ab Initio discussions should take place in the other forum. another alternative would be keeping both names but mentioning the new official courses names in the description. or maybe you can come up with better ideas. don't forg…

So I saw that Desy said that the forum is pretty dead (on the shoutbox), and I thought of a pretty neat way we could get more members. Basically, most members go to IB Schools right? And IB Schools are full of IB Students. And IB Students are the niche that this forum targets. Hence, if we could get word of mouth referrals going through the students, we could easily gain more members who would hopefully see how useful this forum is, and stick around. So I was thinking maybe start a referral competition that lasts for a month or two, and whoever has the most referrals at the end of it gets free VIP for a month or something? I also suggest that we have an Introductions sect…

I came up with this idea to make people insist on their friends to join the IBS. I think that most of the members here want VIP, but won't pay for it. In order to do so, you have to be active by writting posts and uploading files. In these no exact number of files or posts are given (even though I heard a rumor it has to be over 100 posts) that will grant you VIP. What if there would be another requirement for free VIP - inviting a number of (let's say 5) friends to join IBS. When you register, you could choose a member that has invited you to join IBS. Without having 5 members pointing you as their invitator (yes, I just made up a new word), it is impossible to get free …

I don't know why, but these past days, it was kinda hard for me to come to the forum. I'm using Firefox, but nowadays, when I type in the address, it often says that this is an unvalid site. (Even though I'm perfectly sure that I haven't mistyped. I favorited the forum, so it can't be.) I have to restart my computer (only firefox itself when I'm lucky) to come into the site. Is it only me or does some people have the same problem? Besides, I'm using a German network.

I would like to start off by requesting the moderators or whoever is concerned about ibsurvival to excuse me if i make shrewd remarks about anyone or anything. I have been visiting this website for quite a while now and had been pretty much disappointed by the fact that you either have to be "way too helpful" in order to really get mod's attention to get access to the files out there or you just "pay". Plus i've asked a couple of questions here and most of them were left unanswered so first off all i would like to ask you guys whether you have also noticed that the community is sort of "dying?". I just wanted to tell you guys about what i think as a new member, really. Ch…

Hello. How about having some kind of rating system for the files that the users have contributed? Therefore, the people that have downloaded the files can rate how useful they found it. It could be on a scale of one to five or one to ten. It doesn't matter really. It just has to be easily noticeable, easily understood and easy to use. What do you think?

Maybe it's just my computer or something but these are the following problems I am experiencing: 1. I can't paste anything (for example web links) on any post that I make. 2. If I use the link button to create a hyperlink, I can paste the website in there, but then I can't close the box no matter how many times I press 'okay'. 3. I can't quote anyone. I press the button and it doesn't work. Is anyone else experiencing these problems or anything similar?

I can't count the number of times I've accidentally clicked the browser's back button (more like alt+right clicked or right clicked and accidentally hit the back button there), and when you go forwards again everything you have written is lost. I know this is IBS-specific because at blogger.com, this same mistake does not cost me. So I was wondering: is there any simple way this could be addressed? I'm entirely out of my depth with programming and the like, but just in case this is something simple, I thought I'd post it. Also because I'm really annoyed (at myself) right now..

Ok here's where you report small bugs around the forum Shoutbox was on every page but now moved to its places as before. Spoiler tags currently not working, according to deissi. -Actually I just checked...it's working...for me, so it might just be deissi. :/ The "post by" thing is not working. I tried posting this as Admin. Didn't work. [This doesn't affect any of you except the admins so don't worry. ] Anything else?

I noticed that a lot of people are wondering about GDC's in Maths forums. You must have it in order to study in the IB and a lot of questions arise when you need to buy it. So, how about creating a "Graphic Display Calculators" or "Calculators" subforum in Mathematics. I think it would be easier to find questions, which have already been answered, thus decreasing the number of useless topics. Also, in that topic GDC's might be researched in depth - how to install games, applications, how to program it, etc. What do you think?

I've been trying to renew my IBS subscription for about a month, but every time I've tried, the address line for billing information goes grey and says "something went wrong". Then when I try to continue, I get an error message "EX2". Could you help me out, please? Thanks azara

Hi everyone, I'm extremely new to this - and tried to look for a posting already on this topic - but I'm not sure how to figure out how the chat tab works? It'll say I have a notification, or two, but when I clock on it I have to enter it, and then I'm apparently chatting with whoever it ends up being that time - its been random so far. So if someone could help me out in that area of the forum, that'd be great! Thanks!

I've been bothered a while by all the announcements that you have to scroll through to get to the forum itself so I wonder if you can't combine a few of them. As in General Discussion, "Rules and FAQ - must read!" and "Welcome to IB Survival!", is the first one really necessary as it says so in the welcome message? The announcement about the contribution method ("Important - Introducing Files system and new contribution method!") and the important announcement that is on the top of the page is basically about the same thing so is it not enough with one announcement? I think this is pretty important because, at least for me, I'm not sure I would notice when new announcemen…
