Hi, New here, but just a suggestion Under the 'Other Subjects', one of the most common subjects is ITGS, and it is an increasingly popular subject, as computer-related technology begins to get more fascinating and more 'understandable' for non-geeks. Would it be a hassle to include an ITGS/Computer Science Forum for the hundreds of ITGS/CS students (including myself!). My apologies if this is irrelevant in any way. Cheers, Karan

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!

firstly I want to ask what's the difference between the Chat and the Shoutbox? are they both for VIP only? if so then I don't see the point of having Chat :/ also I want to address an issue with it: look at the part I highlighted with green. there's no member in Chat, how can the limit be exceeded? and how many is the limit? thanks!

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 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?

IBS Compatibility with iPad
by Guest Achmed-The Dead Terrorist- 4 replies
- 1.5k views
I'm not sure whether this problem already has a topic or not. But basically, whenever I enter IBS with my iPad, I can never post anything nor reply to PMs and basically restrict myself to statuses and wall posts since I'm guessing that iPad does not support the text editing functions that are part of the text box on IBS. I don't know if I'm the only one with this problem but I've tried several times and it just won't work... :/ (I've got an iPad 1...) I don't really know how to solve this problem so I'm asking for suggestions...? Because like, I went on holidays and only took my iPad hoping that IBS would work fine in it and it turned out to not work... s: Thanks a lot!

I've seen A LOT of people complaining about this, but I'm not sure if they've addressed their complaints to the admins. right so if I remember correctly the default settings for both Facebook Connect and Twitter Connect enable us to import our status updates from those media to here. (right? I can't remember and I've customised my settings for both so I couldn't check.) and other users do get annoyed so often because sometimes they're posted in other languages or because they're irrelevant or whatever, and more importantly, they update TOO often. would it be possible if the default settings are changed to disable status import? so to prevent too many weird status updates …

Whilst looking around I decided to look at the paid subscription section, when I select GBP on the first screen here, the price displayed is £5.51. When you continue to the next screen it changes up to £10.00, should this be happening?

I've noticed that the character count is 400, but once we get around that point and post our message , say at 395 characters, there is an ellipsis that kind of cuts out the ending bits of a post that we have written. I'm sure most of us have experienced this if we have posted 400 character mark wall-posts. Can anyone fix this?

I read in the Files System FAQ that the categories were very similar to the categories on IBS itself...However, wouldn't it be better to add a category for "General" files, just as how there is a category for General Discussion on IBS? I've read the FAQ, and there's a file I'd like to upload that involves how to increase your productivity which I have personally found very helpful, but I don't think there's a spot for it on the Files System.

I find formatting posts really difficult. Is it because I'm just an e-tard? I really want to use some styles that other members use - when posting tips - but I can't cos it's too hard! Also, is there some way that we can like not see the sources e.g. things, but actually see what it looks like? It's tedious, using the preview post thing! It took me like an extra hour to add dot points and stuff on my post :'(

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..

I was just wondering that one of the reasons I can always get and give help easily on TSR is because whenever someone quotes me it turns up on my sidebar and I revisit the thread and make another post. It really helps to know when someone expects an answer out of you. It might be really useful if it could be like a third option in the side bar where there is an option to see the new topics added. Of course it would be more convenient if threads in the Chat forum didn't turn up as quotes because I wouldn't want an update every time someone posted in the 5-words game or Corrupt A Wish and quoted whatever I said before. Just a suggestion. Arrowhead.

Recently, a bunch of nameless users have been making status updates in foreign languages. It's not a big problem, but it looks a bit weird. My guess would be that the statuses come from users who have had their accounts deleted, but somehow still have their twitters linked to IBSurvival. An administrator might want to take a look at it, in case there is a bug or a messed up database-table or something. These are the users: http://www.ibsurvival.com/user/64784-hibamd/ http://www.ibsurvival.com/user/64670-flippinradiogr/ http://www.ibsurvival.com/user/64619--/

Just an idea that I thought of just then. What about incorporating a topic of "quiz" questions into each subject forum? A member will reply with a question that they have come up with (based on other questions maybe), and then post the answer in a spoiler box, so that you can check your answer. Now the idea is to only get replies with questions, so that we can quickly browse through the topic to do some quick revision and brush up our skills. Not only will it help the people who read it, but in order to make a question you can challenge yourself (and others) by selecting a harder area that your no so good at. Opinions?

hi, i'm a bit curious as how the following goes, and what can you do to become promoted on to the next title. so here is what i understood so far Ordinary member: so these are people who have accounts on this site, but aren't VIPs, and to become VIPs they need to either subscribe or help out. VIP Subscriber: people who can access vip files because they subscribed. VIP: people who have earned the right to be able to access the vip files. IBS Alumni: i read somewhere, that these are the old mods, who have sort of retired/ or aren't as active as they used to be on IBS Mini Moderator: ?? Global Moderator: ?? Supervisor: are what they are called, as helpful as they are. Mahut…

Is there any way to undo a rep? I just misclicked at the rep button and don't know how to de-rep the post. It's not a big deal though. What is the maximum limit of rep per day, by the way? And I think the "The New Reputation System" announcement needs to be updated. We don't have negative rep anymore.

I understood that there exists a set number of posts (that is, 150) that guarantees a IBsurvival member VIP access. However, since I find I am more of a 'file-uploader' contributer rather than 'a poster' contributer, I was wondering how this condition applies to files. Seeing as there is an explicit mention to a specific number of posts that must be met for one to gain VIP access, it is only fair to specify the number of files needed to gain such an access too.

How come I've never noticed that the Contact Us section is removed? but anyways... I liked a status update and ticked the Instant Notification part. There was a comment on it and yes I got a notification but it says: It's empty! But when I checked out the status, the comment is not empty. Probably a bug? Usually if I comment on a status and there is a new comment on it, I get a notif and it's not empty, it works perfectly fine.

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…

I think the files section would benefit quite a lot from people actually writing reviews and rating files a bit more actively. I'm not entirely sure how to encourage people to do this except for to remind them, but I was thinking that perhaps you could get reputation points from posting reviews? Or perhaps just from posting reviews that other people vote up. Also it would be nice to have some way of filtering files by reviews, and also to have files automatically ranked within their category by their rating/number of reviews rather than just chronologically/alphabetically/whatever it is at the moment! Not for everything - stuff like syllabi should stay alphabetical, but …

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?

I was looking at my profile stats and some other people's profile stats, and I realized that the "stats" section does not match up with the little box on the left hand side of profiles where it says "most active in". According to my profile, I'm most active in the General IB Discussion forum, with 59 posts total, but on the "stats" section it looks like iIm most active in games and jokes with only 26 posts. Also, my "stats" page hasn't changed at all in the past 2 months. I just wanted to point out that they didn't match up at all, and was wondering if this is on purpose because they are calculated differently, or if it's a mistake. Dunno if it needs to be fixed or just l…
