I recall for the RCs that there was a workaround to get your license set up on a test site. I can't seem to find that, and now what's happened is that I've set up a test install (closed to the public) using 4.0.10.2 -- can someone point me to what you're supposed to do to get the test install licensed properly?

So after waiting for 4.0.10 to come out, with its promised performance improvements, we made the plunge and upgraded our IPB 3.x forum to IPS4. From what many people said, overall performance was a lot better than on IPB 3. But we've found the exact opposite, so far, and in particular we're finding what seems to be an enormous amount of SQL queries which I simply can't understand. I often looked at the process list on our forum, and in general queries would go through in a split second -- they'd be there one second and gone the next -- and often there were fewer than a dozen queries (mostly sleeping processes) visible at a time. Yes, sometimes we'd get a lockup -- our 4.5…

That's the message I get when I try to login using Chrome or Opera -- Firefox has worked fine, but I think only because I was logged in already. I have no cookie-blocking add-ons, so I don't quite understand what the issue could be. Anyone seen something like this happening with IPS 4, and know what the solution is? Thanks!

In an attempt to make my forum more uniform in the way that it looks, I'd like to block font formatting - specifically the abilities to change the font face itself, the font size, and the font colour. Is this possible?

Regarding the security advisory in the ACP "Protect Writeable Folders From Dangerous Files", this only works for Apache. Can someone share the equivalent code block for nginx assuming the default directories? Also, the devs should really consider adding the output of this code block when the server detected is nginx... I added this as my first location directive: location ~* /(uploads)/.*\.(php)$ { return 403; } I tested it and it seems to work, preventing the execution of a php file I stuck in the attachments directory as a test. If anyone can comment further it would be appreciated.

Pages / Pagebuilder was working. Installed the updates/patches from yesterday (4.0.10.1). Ever since I can't create a new page without the database widget being added. If I move it; the widget will re-add itself into the top div causing duplicates widgets. If I delete it.. it comes back on page refresh or opening pagebuilder. I've deleted the pages and templates I've created and cleared cache to no avail. Thought I would ask here first before submitting a ticket.
