As we move from IPS 3 TO IPS 4, there are a few user-experience questions for IPS4 that we have. Will "Preview this Topic" still be available? Where you can see how many new posts, how many unread, or have the option to mark as read? The new build displays all topic replies from oldest first to newest last. Whereas the previous IPS3 theme displayed all topic replies newest first to the oldest last. This has been a hot topic among developers without a common solution to solve.

I mass created 95% of the database records on my site. It is somewhat discouraging to my members to see my avatar everywhere when they update a record to add information. Is there a variable I can change in the display templates to show the username/avatar of the last person to update a record, rather than the creator of the record? This is what shows.... This is the last person to update this record (shows in Revisions)

Hello, I was wondering if there was any way I could turn off my thread previews? I notice my forum threads showing previews which discourage people from clicking on the articles. They just read the preview and it doesn't show up for the post views.

Hello, I've just completed the SEO Friendly part of editing the forum URL, as described here: http://bit.ly/2voR4f7 but I want to go one step further and remove or replace "forum" from my address. My URL is currently forum.metcast.co.uk which is what I want but the part I want to remove is in bold here: http://forum.metcast.co.uk/forum/10-summer-and-general-discussion/ Is there anyway I can do this without messing everything up?

Is there a way to list the Club Directly directly under my forum? I plan on having only a few clubs and just listing them how they appear on the Clubs page under my forum would be awesome.

I have an issue where anyone can see images directly if they have the image link, even if they don't have permission to view it otherwise. I think someone has figured out how to brute force images or crawl my site for them. How do I prevent guest or non-authorized users from viewing images hosted on my forum?

I've posted previously about major problems with my forum, namely that the ibf_data_store table (it's InnoDB, as are all the rest) would randomly start filling the processlist with updates, presumably after a flush of the table. Invision's support just says it's a server issue. After much searching around, I found one user who had said his forum started performing much better when he turned off the use of caches such as Redis/memcached (i.e. selecting the 'No Cache' setting). That seemed counter-intuitive, but I gave it a try... ... and now things work very well. That said, I really dislike the fact that I can't use Redis, since I can see MySQL is working extra hard …
