I've noticed recently (probably since the FFF server forum update work done a few weeks ago) that for my FFF IBP forum some of the admin control panel functions are no longer functional and just give the message "This admin function has been disabled."
However some of them are essential like the email set-up option like to change the forum email address when it needs to be changed to a new account.

Here is the list of ACP functions (under the System Settings category) that now are currently disabled, some I used in the past when they were working and would still like to use periodically (marked with *):
*News Set-up
COPPA Set-up
*Email Set-up
Full Text Searching
Search Engine Spiders
Manage Online/Offline (redirects to ACP home, used to work)

Can some of or all of these ACP functions be restored? At least the news and email setups?

Hi Bad Boy,


Sorry for the late reply, are you still facing these problems? If so, we'll look into them A SAP

I didn't wake up and decide to arrest you. You made that decision. Just like I didn't wake up and decided to give you an infraction or ban you. You made that decision by breaking the rules. You are just more paper work and overtime in my life.

Yes those particular admin CP functions are still disabled, since the forum software/server upgrade work weeks ago.
The email setup and news setup are particularly missed since I can't set the forum's email address for example.
It would be great if all the admin CP settings I listed above could be re-enabled. Thanks.

Another feature I noticed after the forum/server work last month and posted about a couple weeks ago also has not changed. I'll repost it here for reference, I'd appreciate if that could also be looked into and the previous PM tracking functionality be restored if possible, I used it extensiively in the past.


I noticed that since the server forum overhaul last month for all the FFF IPB forums, that a feature that is part of the Private Messaging (PM) has changed. Perhaps it is a configurable host setting you can change back?

In the user controls Messenger section under the left side user control menu item "Message Tracker" page, there is a section titled "Unread Messages"
Prior to the server/software upgrade last month, my FFF IPB forum offered this under that section: "The messages shown here have not been read by the person they were sent to. You may delete them before they are read."
I could enable message tracking with a checkbox when I sent a PM and could delete the PM completely if it hadn't been read by the recepiant yet, perfect for correcting something I didn't catch right away.

However now after the software/server upgrade on the FFF IPB forums, that feature is gone and now it shows this instead under Unread Messages: "The messages shown here have got a read receipt by the recipient. You can untrack these messages."
It doesn't offer the ability to delete a unread PM anymore now and even checking the listed message to untrack it doesn't seem to do anything.

Can this PM feature for tracking and allowing deletion of an unread PM be restored as it used to be? Thank you for anything that can be done, I used this feature a lot in the past and miss it now.

Ok, let me get these reported. Thanks.

Thanks for the update Kurisu!
It would be great to have admin CP control over email address setting, etc and the PM tracking feature functionality fully restored again.

Any update on restoring the non-functional ACP features for my forumforfree IPB forum I listed earlier in this thread?
The poster above appears to be referring to a separate forumer forum, which has a different support section here since this area is only for the forumforfree forum support.

Some of the admin ACP functions for FFF IPB are still not functional for 2 months now after the server work was done back in July.
Please support staff can they be worked on ASAP?

Highest priority is the forum email setup function, its disabled and I need to change the forum input and output email, the original one I used is not available now and I'm unable to setup new forum email addresses.
So its very important to get this and the other admin CP listed functions that have been disabled for the past 2 months working again, please.

Here again is the list of ACP functions (under the System Settings category) that are currently disabled, some I used in the past when they were working and would still like to use periodically (marked with *):

These admin control functions on my FFF IPB forum I reported above months ago, are still non-functional. Can these be worked on soon, please?

For example, I can't update the forum email address which I had to change a couple months ago so certain email functions won't work since the email setup function in the admin control panel isn't functional. Also some PM features that were available prior to the big server upgrade back in July are still not available.

As requested by a support member here, I am reposting this information about some of the still non functional admin ACP functions on my FFF IPB forum. Still not functional for months now since the server work was done back in July.
Please support staff can they be worked on ASAP?

Highest priority is the forum email setup function, its disabled and I need to change the forum input and output email, the original one I used is not available now and I'm unable to setup new forum email addresses.

Here again is the list of important ACP functions (under the System Settings category) that are still disabled that I have used in the past:
News Set-up
COPPA Set-up
Email Set-up

Selecting any of them only gives this message: This admin function has been disabled

My forum URL: http://www.forumforfree.com/forums/nighthawk.html
These functions may be disabled on other FFF IPB forums as well?
