Hi all! I am finally taking the plunge into IPS 4 for my site. So far I am impressed with the documentation and its layout, but I have an important question. I was on this guide and it had very helpful shortcuts on how to get variables from specific items. It says at the end: I entirely expect this to be a thing where I am total freaking idiot at things and can't see the obvious place, but where could I find full information on this framework for the IPS4 methods and classes? It may be me being an idiot and inexperienced, but I am not entirely sure what I can fully call in, say, a template or otherwise.

Does anyone else have this problem? I reply to someone by quoting them, then in the next post that quote is still there and almost impossible to delete. Driving me insane.

Image tags no longer working v4.1.4

Hello, Since upgrading to v4.1.4 people cannot post image links from image hosting sites - i.e. the [ img ] tags. They seem to change into {option} . I see something in the notes about bbcode tags - but they used to work in v4 before the latest update. I presume I now need to set something up to make the tags work, but I'm not sure what it is.

If memory serves wasn't there a way for blog comments required them to be hidden unless the blog author approves them? Has this functionality been removed?

I am just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem with some members randomly getting a "Banned" user screen on the forum when using their mobile device? Logging out then in again appears to fix this bug.

Hello, after I have updated to v4.1.9, users have reported a huge bug/problem: when you write the number "0" inside a table, after you save the post the "0" number disappear from the table. You can see an example here: http://totallympics....6/#comment-5066 in the table "Group A Standing" and "Group B Standing". All "0" disappeared from the table, except for those "0" withouth any format. How can I solve this problem ? Thank you in advance.

Hi Since my IPB 4 upgrade I got several hundred 404 pages, regarding Google Webmaster Tools. All links do like like these: https://www.parkour-vienna.at/gallery/sizes/773-marc-pose/square/ https://www.parkour-vienna.at/gallery/sizes/1681-p1020817/medium/ https://www.parkour-vienna.at/gallery/sizes/3361-pb220179/large/ I fixed some new 404's by adding strings like "Disallow: /*?do=findComment" & "Disallow: /*&content_commentid=undefined" to the robots.txt, but I'm not sure on that ones above.... any idea? thanks in advance

Hello, I have been experiencing an issue for some time now where only my Admin account cannot create new calendar events. When trying to create a new event I get the "Sorry, there is a problem. Something went wrong. Please try again. Error code: EX0." I have tested with numerous other accounts (logging in as another user through ACP) and creating events works just fine for all of them. Below is a copy of the System Log that is generated after getting the error. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is it possible to have the option to use a desktop version of the forum on mobile like on IPB 3.4.x? The mobile theme is already very useful, but members of my forum have expressed a want to be able to switch to desktop. I use the "Request desktop site" on Android but that doesn't work.

I think 4.1.9 has only 1 default skin for both desktop & mobile (unlike 3.0 versions where separate mobile skin was provided). Now, if I keep Adsense ads in the default skin, I suppose they will be too big when viewed in Mobile. How can I implement separate sized ads for Desktop & Mobile. (Note: I do not want to use Responsive Adsense ads) For eg, I want to the users to see Leatherboard ad (728x90) when viewing in Desktop and half banner ad (234x60) when viewing the same page in Mobile.

Move members with 0 posts to another group? Just trying to work out how to do this, is this doable in the ACP or do I need a plugin? I tried in ACP to search for members with less than 10 posts, I get the list and then when I try to move them I get an error message...

Pretty sure I'm missing something very obvious...but I keep pasting raw html into my posts and it's not showing - it's just spitting back out the same raw code. I do see the Source button in the post toolbar. I have already ensured that the member groups have the ability to post HTML enabled. I see no forum permission settings specifically to allow HTML. Am I missing this? If so, can someone walk me through where to find it? What else could I be missing...something (like the old checkbox on 3.x versions)?

I would like to restrict my basic member group from sending any pms. Is this possible at all? It might be good though that admin can send them a pm and they can respond to that only. Thanks if you can help

I ran a board on Jcink, which could handle a lot of custom, intense html when used between [dohtml] tags. However here, there are no [dohtml] commands, and when I strip them and put the code into the 'Source' button field, the HTML functionality also gets stripped way down. For example, accordian tabs, newspaper layouts, etc. all vanish, but it's HTML design that's nonfunctional. Is this expected? Is there anyplace which walks through what HTML is handled and not? Is there a way to make [doHTML] usable? Any workarounds?
