Hi, I've got 2 users reporting that the thread titles are appearing in a vertical and unreadable state on their android phones (see below screenshot) I'm awaiting confirmation on what version of android they are running, but I'm assuming it's around 2.2 as one of them is using a HTC Hero. Has anyone come across this issue before ?? Is it because the version of Android is outdated? Any help appreciated. Cheers.

Without any changes to the system since upgrading to 4.1.13 last week, some of my users are suddenly reporting the following error when trying to access the forum/login via Chrome: It appears to be mobile Chrome only, and other browsers (e.g., Safari or Firefox) on the same device allows that person to access the forum just fine. Rolling back to an old version of Chrome resolves the issue. Is this a Chrome or IPS defect?

Is there a way to remove the calendar menu item from the nav bar? We don't need it as a menu item and it'd be great to be able to hide the menu item or even rename it to "events" or something similar. Thanks!

Since we have upgraded to the latest version of IPB, we have had some issues, but the main one is that our board cannot send emails, either via PHP, SMTP or SparkPost. When sending out a Test Email this is the following error returned. Is this a known issue or has someone else come across this? Thanks in advance.

Hi, Since announcements with group permissions is not going to happen, I'm looking for a different way to encourage my guests to sign up / actually make them understand that they need to sign up in order to post replies / new topics. Right now when a guest is viewing the forum, he does not have any "new topic" / "post reply" buttons - at all! If he wants to ask a question, he needs to realize by himself - with no help at all from our side - that he needs to first sign up. This is causing our participation rate to be much lower than it could be, simply because guests don't see any button that will encourage them to participate. Best solution IMO wou…
