I was just told that IPB 4.1.x (I currently have 4.1.19.4) is unsupported and no longer receiving security patches. I was always under the impression that IPB supported the last release for at least 12 months after a new branch was released. Am I mistaken? My understanding is that 4.2.x breaks 4.1.x skins pretty bad so I would need to do a full regression test board for this upgrade -- which I consider a major upgrade not a routine .x.x upgrade (hence the old version should still have have security support releases but not feature releases).

Hi, I would like to cancel my cloud subscription, but to also be given a full backup of all the files. I can't afford invision, but may offer the files to a forum member to see if he wants to try and migrate to open source. I've paid up to 27th January but don't want to pay any further than this. Don't seem to be able to find the cancellation option in the client area? Thanks.

I have a member who's account credit is out of control? Anyway to limit the amount of credit they can accumulate in their Commerce account? Need this individual to withdrawal as the number they have as account credit is becoming scary high. I’m not a bank and this is too much in their account advice? I’d like a little warning system when they log in nudging them to withdrawal

I have an "About Me" page on my website which is in a DB called "About LiquidFractal." I've noticed that when this page is viewed, the generated page title is "About X - About LiquidFractal - LiquidFractal," following a Record>DB>website format. Could someone please tell me how I can customise the display template so that just the record title displays for the HTML title, i.e. "About X"? This isn't only cosmetic, as I know that Google will sometimes penalise code which needlessly repeats keywords. Incidentally, this also happens in the Who's Online view, where someone will be listed as "Currently viewing About X - About LiquidFractal - LiquidFractal," so…

Hello. I wonder it is possible to “lock” topic for guests? For example the forum is open for guests, they can see/read topics, but maybe its possible to make just some topics locked for unregistered users? I DON’T WANT TO HIDE IT FOR UNREGISTERED USERS, I want that they can see it, but when they try to enter they need to get message like “You need to register to view this topic” (or smthg like that) Maybe it’s its possible with standard ipb functions? Or there is some plugins? Thank you.

When I click the page builder button, it just loads that page in my browser normally, as if I had just navigated to it. The URL does have block manager in it at the end, but, no editing tools show up at all. Anybody else have this issue, or know what could be causing it? Thanks.

I'm interested in exploring this idea and would like to know if it can work in the way I am thinking I run a beekeeping forum. It has a need for guests (who have no intention of joining the community) to leave contact details to members so that they can get swarms in their local area collected. So I'd like to add in a location required box I'd like the content to be posted in a members only accessible forum or better still a club, not sent via email There may need to be some form of spam control Possible? If so how is it done? If its not out of the box, what component is used to create the question popup?
