Frequently Asked Questions


Will my existing links be broken?

When you convert from one of many platforms, we include free scripts which automatically translate your current URLs into the IPS Community Suite's Friendly URLs. Appropriate headers are sent, so search engines don't penalize you for the change, either. If your existing platform will redirect in this way, it will be indicated with the icon in the data above.



Will I lose my skins & modifications?

Unfortunately yes - skins and modifications designed for other software will not work with IPS software. But similar modifications and skins are probably available via our resource site, contributed by other users.

How long does a conversion take?

This depends on the size of your current database and the number of entries, so it is difficult to give a definitive answer. Small communities may convert in a few minutes, while large communities may require several hours. Once the conversion is running, however, it can be left to complete without intervention.



Will user passwords work after the conversion?

Yes, users will be able to log in normally once the conversion is complete.
