I'm trying to create a FAQ using the Articles system in Pages. I know there is a FAQ system app, but I have many different FAQ topics which coincide with article topics, and I need to keep evertything in the same place. I have everything set up but the anchors and links. I have linked questions at the top of a page, with answers below, on the same page. I want to have a link in each question, which takes the user down the page to an anchor next to the answer (typical FAQ setup). But when I click on the linked question, it opens a the same page in new browser window, and then drops down to the anchor. In an FAQ article about residence permits, here's what I have…

Hello, When a user clicks on "New content" with IPS 4.2, the links displayed point on the first page of the topics instead of the last post. Is it possible to have that link pointing on the last post, without requesting users to create filters?

Hello, I already had the core IP Board and forum licence. I had just purchased Pages but I do not find any way to add this to my site. It does not show up on pages, doing an Upgrade gives no result, emptying cache, rechecking licence, etc.. all do not work. Can anyone tell me the correct way to add Pages to an already running IP Board forum? Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, Can you please check if this is also happening on your install or if it is a new bug introduced with 4.2.3? When our moderators are mentioned in a report, a notification is generated. When clicking on this notification, instead of opening the report, it is displayed in textual form the URL that was linked. See screenshot below. If we remove the "&action=findComment", the link opens correctly, so it seems (at least in our install) that there is an issue processing this parameter. Thanks!

I can't find this specific patch at the Client Area. Thanks.

Hi, I know this is not exactly a bug, but the correct behavior of the platform, but I wonder if there is any solution to this. When we embedded a link to a topic in another topic, the platform gets the first image and uses it to create a thumbnail for that topic. However, if the image is too small, the thumbnail gets "distorted". I wonder if there is a way to either select a different image to form the thumbnail or to ignore images that are too small (smaller than the dimensions used by the thumbnail). I hope I was able to explain the problem. Thanks, Gabriel.
