I've been searching the forums and document and can't find this. Is it possible to set it so all users user auto follow a database entry that they created? I'm using v4.0.2.

After upgrading from IPS 4rc7 to IPS 4.0.2, I found some problems: When I attempt to access the site, I always get something like the below code on the first load. Refreshing again reloads the site correctly. How can I go about debugging this?

As it states, what is the best way to pin a POST to the top of a TOPIC? In 3.4 I used Best Answer. Now that is gone in 4.0. Question and answer forums act differently now. I don't want them to be sorted differently. I just want to highlight a post. See we have things like contests and things on my site and I always highlight the new contest in a long-running topic. That is just one example. Best Answer always worked for me in 3.4 except for the fact that I could not mark post #1, which was needed sometimes for the following pages (so post #1 was highlighted at the top of page #2, etc.). I see Post Highlights is an upcoming feature but it looks like it works like tagging,…

Creating a Forum topic for an article. Just curious how this should behave. Should comments stay only on the front page and the forum on the forum? They should stay separate or mirror one another?

Hey guys, I have a few questions: 1. How can I rename the menu items - pages, calendar.. I cannot find a way to do it from applications, I can open the details but cannot chage it.. 2. How can I rename the blocks that I use to create a page - like topics, popular now, recent entries... 3. Also when I create a page it seems that the new entries from the forum lag a few minures before showing up on the page...? 4. How can I add a Pool on a Page? That's for now, thanks in advance

In 3.x IP.Content, this would work: <if test="!$record['custom_field_id']"> In 4.x I see some stuff like "{{if $record->customFieldsForDisplay" or "$record->customFieldDisplayByKey", but I can't figure out how to test if there's anything in the field. Any ideas?

When we quote a post that has a spoiler in it, the hidden content is no longer viewable in the quoted post. Is it supposed to work that way?

The easy block manager allows the creation of customized topics blocks where I can set only one forum to feed the block. But if I set this block on a specific forum topics list, the block will be added to all forums topics list. How to set a customized block to be added only in a specific forum topics list?

I want to make it easier to see between posts while reading the topic, it's too white and washed out for me at the moment so I just want to darken it down a touch. It's the part that is almost a container for the entire topic and flows inbetween each post. It looks bright white. I've changed every single colour in the editor for buttons, front end and text and none of them affect it.

I just upgraded my live site to 4.0.2 and the editor is not showing. At all. I've cleared the cache of the browser as well, restarted the browser and tried other browsers. Problem persists even on other computers. See screenshot below. Also, on the index, the sidebar does not expand. Same attempts as above. Edit: I've fixed it by going through the ACP > System > Support and selecting "Something isn't working" which still let me type in my problem, "cache". It cleared the cache and fixed the above display error and the sidebar issue.

On topic view I want to show Similar Content block. That's ok. But Similar Content is currently based on tags, not on title keywords. So my question is: is there a way to show latest or popular topics block only if Similar Content is empty?

I am trying to figure out where or how to edit the array for the bday_year field for the registration form?" We have searched, and searched, and cannot find it anywhere. One of the sites I am on it is important that we can remove "Not Telling" from the array so it only shows the years.
