I've encountered an unusual event in 4.6.2 when copy and pasting images. I use Snagit to create images for help files and generally just copy and paste the images into a topic or article. In the past I could just copy and paste away until I completed the task. In 4.6.2 after so many copy and pastes the images no longer appear in the topic/article but appear in the uploaded images tray and have to be added manually. So I'm wondering if this is by design, a bug or is there a setting that I'm missing somewhere? This generally happens after about 3/4 images have been pasted into the editor.

So, I am trying out the WebP support in 4.6. First, I only got broken images, but I quickly narrowed down the problem: the images are uploaded and processed successfully, but stored without a file suffix in the uploads directory and then blocked by <ipb-protection> in the htaccess file. So what is going on there? Why is there no file suffix? Is that intentional? Can I change it? Is it a bug? A server configuration? P.S. I tried it here on the site for comparison, but it create a different issue and I couldn’t even upload the images:

Hi there, can you advise me how to get my forum icons to appear true to the image's normal colour and vibrancy? Currently the uploaded icons appear to have only 30% transparency. It's hard to see what each icon is. [original icon image and forum image attached below] I would be most grateful for any advice or solution you can give. Thanks, Anthony

I want to add this list of disposable email address providers to my ban filter: https://gist.github.com/michenriksen/8710649 Is this already incorporated in the spam list subscription? If not, is there an easy way to add this whole list? I didn't see a way to add a CSV to the ban list.

I think it is pretty common for users of IPS to have Applications and Plugins from the Marketplace - it would be helpful if the ACP had a built-in version check against the currently installed applications and plugins and what is compatible with the upgrade, rather than having to manually check each one (which for some could mean quite a bit of back and forth). Has anyone found a more efficient/automated way of doing this?

Hi, We've been badly hit by the Google December 2020 Core Update: our traffic comming from Google dropped 20% starting December 4th, 2020. Investigating this further, I came across the Core Web Vitals, available at the Google Search Console, and our numbers are really bad there, especially for mobile. See screenshot below. I am wondering if you guys are seeing the same (meaning this is something to be improved in the IPS software itself) or if this is caused by our custom modifications such as advertisement/banners. Thanks in advance for any tips on this issue.

Can I choose the storage folder for attachments? For example, let's assume that the Invision files are hosted in this path: /var/www/html/forum/ To facilitate backups, I want the attachments to be stored in a different path, within my server. For example: /var/www/html/attachments/ How can I configure this?

Hello there, After doing a test upgrade of the forum I noticed that the reactions are broken in a way that the main reaction aka id 1 cannot be deleted. We have upvotes and downvotes on our IPB3 forum, however after upgrading and trying to set those back, I tried going with id 2 as downvotes which worked fine and id 1 as upvotes(which didn't work at all) as the upvotes were saved on id 6 on the old one. So the issue is that since all of the upvotes are saved on id 6 if I can either transfer them to 1 or somehow delete/disable id 1 and only keep 2 and 6.

In Downloads is there a quick and easy way to see all the files waiting to be approved by staff? If there are a lot of files being uploaded files are being missed so they sit there until someone accidentally notices or the uploader sends a PM to ask what's happening... Ted.

Hello! Since upgrading to 4.6 whenever I go to Admin CP > Members > Groups I get kicked out of the Admin CP. Any clues of why this could happen? I did get a database error during upgrade so restarted the upgrade and it went fine. Could this be the issue? And would a restoration of my backup just before upgrading and then upgrading again solve the issue? I did a manual upgrade since the 4.6 wasn't prompted automatically.

Hey Crew, I am not sure what me or my team turned on, but whenever someone creates a post with an image attachment, it requires admin approval. I combed through the help files, and a ton of the admin control panel setting and still can't figure how this got turned on. Can anyone help with how to turn it off? I can't tell if it's on for specific members or what or where to go to turn it off.

Is there no way to delete all PMs sent by a user? I am sure this feature used to exist? We're constantly getting spammers (who may have hidden with an account for years) go on a PM spamming spree. Flagging them as a Spammer doesn't remove their sent PMs, and I see no other way to delete all PMs by the user?
