Hi. I start to convert my vBulletin 4.2.3 to ipb today version ( 4.1.19.4 ) . I see a strange effect so I ask. I can see all users, even private messages and convert them, but I can not see the posts, say, if my forum had 10 thousand messages, I do not have them, nor the categories, nor anything. Could it be that the converter "only" translates the users but not the messages? I find it very strange because in the original database they are fine.

We've styled our reviews template to be different to the default, but when a user clicks on 'This review was helpful', it seems to display a new template which include a new template, which hasn't got our new adjusted styling to it. I've looked and looked, but can't find any theme or page template that is being used as that display (once a user has clicked that button). I can see that it pulls through the theme template "reviewhelpful" but even a search for "reviewhelpful" in themes and page templates don't turn up any results.

What I mean is this. Yes responsive ads work and fit for different screens but on my xenforo install ads will at times be taller and more of the box shaped in IPS it seems they are always a small banner.

I'm looking for something similar to the way IPS does the suite. I want a base product and then addons that people can add-on with. Does anyone know of a good way to complete this sort of thing with Commerce? I know I can create a product that requires it be associated with another product but I want a cool little doo-dad where they can choose the addons from the order screen and order it.

I'm often making really long posts, and want to see more of the editor. In particular, to make it longer so it shows further down the page. I know it does it automatically if you paste or type enough stuff but it would be nice to increase it a few hundred pixels as default. Is it possible?
