Loving the new IPS 4, as are most of our members. One thing I've been asked is if the forum is compatible with emojes (spelling?), those wee funny faces on mobile phones. I know we have the smileys but was just wondering if it's an option?

Also, is it possible to have "back to top" button on the forum? This would be especially handy for people browsing via mobile phones. Would be superb if that can be done.

Ok, found a thread about the emojes, so know thats a no goer.

 

But what about a "back to top button". Anyone know if this can be done as I'm sure it was in the 3.x version.

Emoji are supported by the software, as long as your MySQL database supports it and the character set is set accordingly. Like here on this board: ?????
You need to select the Emoji in your OS though. 

Back to top plugin: 

 

Thanks mate. Yeah my database wont support it as it isnt the mb4 or whatever it was, which is a pitty. It's mainly members that have asked for that though, bot too fussed myself as I think they dont look as good as the smileys the board comes with. Suppose its down to useability though.

That plugin is exactly what I'n after!! Is it compatible with the latest ip4?

Getting the dB into mb4 isn't that bad. By hand took me about 30 minutes. 

lol I'm not that clued up on the sql side, deffo would go wrong. Might think about it sometime in the future though but would probably get IPS to help.

As far as I know IPS wouldn't touch databases (or any server related item), unless you're hosting directly through them . 

 

if ya want could hit me up and I could do the changes and make sure it's working.

Thanks mate, I'll probably give you a shout later. The forums only just been upgraded and went through some big issues, so will let it all settle down first. The back to top plugin is superb though, so thanks to opentype for that. Exactly what we needed!
