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!

Hi, I am trying to download the latest patch (see below) to fix an issue we are having, but I am getting the "There was an error downloading the files to your server. Please download the update and upload the files to your server, or contact us for assistance." error message. The link provided points out to the whole IPS 4.2.3 package. I can't find this specific patch at the Client Area. Thanks.

Does anyone know how to make a tab in the profiles for Status Updates Only? I would like to make a Status Updates Tab and set it as the default for my users. Then if a visitor wants to see more they can select the Activity Tab.

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.

Maybe somebody can help me out on this. I created a custom field with a select box. I have two values and marked the custom field as required. The question now is, how can I make it to show the field empty (without one of the both created values)? Right now, if a user creates a new record there is the first value inserted in the custom field. I guess there is anything I could write into the default value field? Thanks.

I need to disable a language string, specifically the event_location which shows "Location" in the calendar details and I have temporarily just put a period in the box and saved that to not show the word location. Does anybody know what code if any could be placed in those boxes to blank out any language? Thanks
