Without any changes to the system since upgrading to 4.1.13 last week, some of my users are suddenly reporting the following error when trying to access the forum/login via Chrome: It appears to be mobile Chrome only, and other browsers (e.g., Safari or Firefox) on the same device allows that person to access the forum just fine. Rolling back to an old version of Chrome resolves the issue. Is this a Chrome or IPS defect?

The default URL string goes to the comment ID. Is it possible to link to the first unread post instead? The original URL string is <a href='{$comment->item()->url()->setQueryString( array( 'do' => 'findComment', 'comment' => $comment->pid ) )}' data-ipsTooltip title='{lang="share_this_comment"}' data-ipsMenu data-ipsMenu-closeOnClick='false' id='elShareComment_{$comment->pid}' data-role='shareComment'> I changed it to <a href="{$comment->url()->setQueryString( 'do', 'getNewComment' )}" title='{lang="view_this_topic" sprintf="$comment->item()->title"}' class='ipsType_medium ipsType_break'> While it's an improv…

Is there a way to remove the calendar menu item from the nav bar? We don't need it as a menu item and it'd be great to be able to hide the menu item or even rename it to "events" or something similar. Thanks!

Since we have upgraded to the latest version of IPB, we have had some issues, but the main one is that our board cannot send emails, either via PHP, SMTP or SparkPost. When sending out a Test Email this is the following error returned. Is this a known issue or has someone else come across this? Thanks in advance.

Hi, Since announcements with group permissions is not going to happen, I'm looking for a different way to encourage my guests to sign up / actually make them understand that they need to sign up in order to post replies / new topics. Right now when a guest is viewing the forum, he does not have any "new topic" / "post reply" buttons - at all! If he wants to ask a question, he needs to realize by himself - with no help at all from our side - that he needs to first sign up. This is causing our participation rate to be much lower than it could be, simply because guests don't see any button that will encourage them to participate. Best solution IMO wou…

Hey folks. I need some help with something. I have a moderator trying to upload a podcast to the site. He has no limitations on upload file size and I have my upload limits for the server set to 300M through my PHP.ini file. The upload reaches about 99% and then he gets a -200 error and the upload fails. I'm attaching a screen shot. We would very much like to host our podcasts on our own server but can't with this issue.

There's a notification box (black/dark background with light text) that appears from the header or footer and slides out when new content you've followed posted. Where can I find the CSS class (in Templates) that controls it?

Alright, so I've noticed latest topics functions a little weird. I have a topics block above my forums configured to pull from my news forums. This works as I'd like. When a user makes a reply to any of them, it says the time / date that they posted and their username / avatar in the topics feed. However I have a 2nd topics feed on my sidebar, and it acts differently. When a new user makes a reply, it instead shows the original poster's time / date and username / avatar. I've had a few users complain to me about this and honestly it doesn't make sense. Why does the full-width latest topics function differently than the sidebar latest topics? It's the same block.…

Does anyone use the sparkpost API? In the past I could see the subject and what they clicked on under Message Events in Sparkpost reports (such as unsub). However, now, I can only see the following: Timestamp, Event, Campaign, Friendly From, Recipient, Message ID Not sure if this is something on the sparkpost side or the API side? I also used SMTP in the past, so maybe that has additional reporting options over the API? Thanks

If I make a backup of the entire home directory, is the IPS database included somewhere in there (if so, where?) or do I need to back it up separately?
