I understand the status updates permission, but why do people with permission have to enable it? If someone doesn't want to post a status update, they simply will ignore the box to do so. I don't think enabling or disabling it is necessary. Of course the option to do so is fine, but by default it should be on. I've had at least 30 people on my forum message me and ask why they don't have permission to post status updates. All I've been able to do is explain... go to your profile, edit profile, enable, etc...

I added a plugin to my CKEditor that would allow users to embed a HTML5 video into their post using the <video> and <source> tags. The editor, the generated html, and the final result looks fine because I'm an admin and I can post raw html but for normal users only the link appears. How can I allow normal users to post these video/source tags without granting them access to add any html they want? Thanks, JC

As a quick experiment, I dumped the entire globalTemplate content into a custom Page HTML block. I removed all contents from the globalTemplate and inserted the block key. I got this error when viewing the page (as expected): What I'd like to do is simplify editing multiple templates. For example, if I have 10 templates and I want to make a change that affects all templates I have to manually edit each of the 10 templates to get the same results. If I can use Page blocks like include files, that will make editing much simpler. Then all I have to do is edit 1 Page block instead of editing 10 templates. Or is there another, and more practical way of achieving t…

I'm running a hosted IPBoard version v4.1.13.2 -- I would like to enable the blogs module however I want to limit WHO can create a blog to ADMIN and MOD's. I don't want general members creating blogs. I then want everyone including visitors to be able to read the blogs and members comment access. Can't figure it out.... I can see perms on who can access the blogs and see the menu item but at the granular level I want. This to me is fairly basic functionality. Am I just missing something? Thanks!

All previous media Manager files ("css_files" folder) are simply gone in the new media manager (still physically present on the server) all custom templates like database listing, article listings etc. are gone all content that used the parse ipcmedia tag is broken It seems that i cannot create a block that shows database categories. on top of that each and every template for blocks / database listings change takes like 5 minutes to actually show up on the page. how am i supposed to develop a new template like that? Does this happen with your installations too? chee…

Hi, I've got 2 users reporting that the thread titles are appearing in a vertical and unreadable state on their android phones (see below screenshot) I'm awaiting confirmation on what version of android they are running, but I'm assuming it's around 2.2 as one of them is using a HTC Hero. Has anyone come across this issue before ?? Is it because the version of Android is outdated? Any help appreciated. Cheers.

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?
