Hi all, In 4.2.2 you can insert a link to a Tweet and you get a nice card displaying the embedded tweet. However if you post a link to a Twitter profile page, it's just a standard, clickable URL. Is that by design or Twitter not providing it, or should there be a nice card visible showing the linked Twitter Profile?

I filed a bug about this before, but it was closed, since it is working as intended, so I figured I could try to make my case in a topic instead (because I think the intended behaviour is silly) On my board I have both British and American members. The balance is probably around 50/50. Currently in IPS4 the date format is fixed to be "%x" and the locale can then be adjusted in the language pack. Because "%x" date format prints DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY depending on locale, if I want to please both the British and American members, I have to have 2 language packs installed (because the British will hate MM/DD/YYYY and Americans will hate DD/MM/YYYY) I would rather not have …

In my head, and from what i hear from others, the word "forum" is an instant turnoff for many. This is a shame, because IPS is so much more than that. I am trying to market/lure users in, with the blog, and clubs/groups features, but the Forums are still there, "tasting ugly". I'd love to change what "Forums" is called, all across the site (jsut call them "discussions"), but this should be everywhere, including the url, settings etc. Is there a good/easy way to do this?

I am new to the community and IPS. My old forum was use Nuke Evolution Extreme 2.07. I was just wondering if I could save and import. Basically migrate it over to the new database that IPD uses. Would all the User's and Forum threads be recovered like from a backup? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How can I do these please? I would like to offer members the ability to have their own adsense code inserted into any articles they publish, hoping this will be a good way to encourage members to submit quality content.

I can't post images, but didn't have a problem before. I'm not sure what I did to cause this, but I'm sure I goofed somewhere. I can view images that I previously posted, but can't add new ones. It says: "The page you're trying to access is not available for your account." (I'm the administrator.) What I've done that may have caused this: I used the translation tool to change clubs to groups. Maybe I messed something up while I did that. There are no categories (I deleted the generic category that comes with the software), because I'd like for people to post images in the individual clubs, then those images flow into the gallery if it's an open group…

I have a small PayPal store on another website (not a Board) with a few products. Is there any way I can simply add a link to that URL/store on the IPB Store page? In other words when Members click the Store button they go to a brief description of the products with a direct Link to that store. I've look at the Store features in AdminCP and can't see how. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Dear friends, Today I have finally made Google API key accepted :-) But I got another problem: when I copy and paste an address from Google Maps to show one, my forum software (4.2) doesn't convert an address into the map. Here I copy the link and get the map automatically. At my community, the link remains the link. What should I check in order to make it working properly? Thank you in advance! https://www.google.com.ua/maps/@46.4601261,30.5717053,11z?hl=en

I'm obviously getting older. Are featured topics only for use in widgets which are set to filter by featured topics? Or should they appear at the top of the main forum app index or elsewhere? I'm trying to highlight an important topic at the top of the board index, perhaps it's only possible with an announcement linking to it. I can set a Recommended Post and it appears okay at the very top of a topic, but there is no sign of it being highlighted elsewhere such as the main forum index. I can't see where I can mark a recommended topic either, only a post.

The "Complete your profile" message banner pops up with a "non-required" extra field and forces the user to input something before the profile is completed. This field must be left blank if there is no info to be put in that field. Why is this happening?

I was thinking of changing to start new line but I've had it as go to next line for a few years. If I changed now, it would create the following issue. becomes I thought, is there any way to safely remove single empty <p></p> in the posts, it would need to be just the single ones though, so not 3 of them for example <p></p><p></p><p></p> as they may have been put in to create a gap in posts from the poster, although the gap is going to be much bigger.

Hello there, I'm using one of ipcfocus.com theme, in IPS 4.2 many thing has to go into custom.css. My issue is that my /* Guests terms bar */ code has to be placed before "@media screen" code - instead it doesnt work. How to find where is my mistake ? What I was doing not correctly ? I suspect that I missed one } after "@media screen and (min-width:768px){" but when I put this just after this code my "/* Larger avatars: Both values should be the same */" code stops working. /* Place your custom css code in this file */ .ipsfocus_bg2 .header-background-wrap, .ipsfocus_bg2 .nav-bar-image, .ipsfocus_bg2 .ipsType_sectionTitle{ background-size: auto; } .ipsfocus_b…

I would like for Clubs to be my default app. I don't want to use forums separately from Clubs (only within the Clubs). I've removed the tab via Menu Manager, but my main community url defaults to forums, as does "home" in breadcrumbs. Any advice? Thanks for any help or advice.
