Is it possible to disable automatic embedding of a topic when posting a link to a it? I just found out that when viewing a post with an embedded topic, it actually loads that whole topic. And if, for example, a user opens a topic page with another 10 topics embedded, they are viewing 11 topics at once which could cause problems on large websites.

When I want to respond to a discussion or open a new topic I have this view, you think it's only my problem? Basically is there no space for you to type.

I just uploaded all the files, but when accessing /admin/upgrade, it says there is no application to upgrade, with the Exit Upgrader button. IPB RC4 (I think is RC4, don't know how to check the version) still working as before, I still having the same problems: can't upload cover image in profile, most of the email never get to destination, and can't use Mandrill email integration, and I believe this was fixed in RC5. I know there's something missing, but I can't find instructions of how to proceed with this. Thank you.

Many users are complaining about getting 404 errors in my forum when accessing URLs that should be working. One of the things that causes it for some people is trying to post a smiley in a reply. They will get a 404 error and then the 404 error continues on the entire forum until they empty their browser's cache. This happens to me occasionally as well. Once the 404 error occurs, it keeps occurring until my browser cache is cleared. BUT, I can access the forum if I type in the "index.php". For example, this results in 404 error: site.com/forum/ But this does not: site.com/forum/index.php Any clue as to what is causing this? Anybody else getting this? It's frustrating beca…

Hi I remember many topics on the subject some months ago, we concluded that similar topics based on tags was not a good idea as nobody uses the tags, and similar topics based on title keywords was the good way Has it been followed ? If so, how can i show the similar topics at the end of the topics ? Thanks for your help !

Hi all, I am having a heck of a time getting some guys Admin permissions for a specific Application, but not the AdminCP. I think I have everything setup correctly, but Members I'm trying to get access for are receiving the this message: What I've done is set up a new User Group that is specific for this purpose. I assigned both Members to this User Group and in the Application granted the User Group access to each of the functions that allow me to specify a User Group (including offline access). This didn't work. The next thing I tried was making a Group ACP Restriction Permissions and then added the Members to the Member ACP Restriction Permissions. I customized th…

So, how many here are using utf8mb4 collation instead of just utf8? I've been running into a number of issues now with the upgrade where queries are hitting the character limit when varchar(255) is being used as opposed to varchar(191)

I upgraded from IP3.4.7 to RC5 the initial update seemed to go alright however, the background tasks error out to blank white screen. Checked server error logs, nothing is being recorded. Any idea what could be going on? I have a request in for support but I am still waiting, thought I would open it up to others in case someone has some information. Thank you

When I want to update an existing language (via "Upload a new version"), does there another way exist to implement updated language files other than via AdminCP > Customization > Languages? I always see the "Processing..." circle, which never comes to an end. The result is that about 50% of any language file I use gets implemented – and the rest has to be translated all over again.

Hi, I'm trying to get Amazon S3 to work as a storange engine for ips 4 (rc5). I've done a clean install and set it for profile photosonly, however when I try to upload a picture it says COULD_NOT_SAVE_FILE, it does however work when using the File System so I guess the problem lies with the S3 bridge, anyone else got it to work? The S3 configuration seems very straight forward, I got my bucket name and keys correctly set up.. would I need to do anything else on AWS perhaps?

I found this article (https://www.invisionpower.com/support/guides/_/advanced-and-developers/miscellaneous/check-if-a-member-is-logged-in-r91) and I was wondering how this would be done in IPS4? I would like to check if the user is logged in and what group the user belongs to.
