    I am shocked that there is still not per forum auto prune feature.
    I have a couple of specific forums that I want to auto prune after topics are 30 days old.

    Please can I just clarify..........
    Say I set up a new reaction just for Administrators - "Agree" - what will members see? Will they see the "Agree" reaction, but not be able to use it or will it simply not be a visible option for them (this is what I need)
    Many thanks

    If you can get IPS to install it we'll be sorted ?

    Yeah that can be done, I actually wrote the code so you couldn't, it's easier to write it so you could lol, What I will do is put a yes / no setting for if users can send to themselfs in the next update, then if people want to allow that they can click the setting

    Sorry to disagree, but I can't see how $12.50 is expensive given the time these things to develop, test and support.
    I do have an issue though........

    KS 17 released!
    A couple uncommon bug fixes. Built-in post bit compatibility fixes for a few 3rd-Party apps. New option to limit the number of attachments per post (probably affects all editors with file attachment areas) The 3rd party apps that have the fixes you can just scroll up through this support topic to see what they are. Fixes need to be toggled on/off under the misc tab in KS - they are not enabled by default.
    The new option for limiting the number of attachments per post probably affects any content item that has a file attachment area. For now I have this setting at the bottom of the post tab. Choose between 1 and 100. Honestly, more than 50 attachments (maybe even less than that) and you are starting to stress things a bit. Over 100 and you are really just asking for trouble; especially those of you running IPS on servers with shall we say less than optimal resources? Default is 25 which is more than reasonable.
    CIC users, as always, once you install KS and mess with things, you'll have to wait for the CIC caching system to wake the hell up and recognize there is new stuff going on. Took me a couple cache wipes and I still needed to wait awhile before the limit attachments option actually fired on through on the front end.

    So I been messing with mobile viewing of them and what I think would be best, Is to just have it positioned in one place ( A mobile screen ain't wide enough to have it left / right / center ), I am thinking more or it in the center and maybe add a scale to it what admins can set for example you will set a value of 8 and it will be 80% of the size of the desktop version, I have gone from 5 - 9 and 7 - 8 is best for mobile viewing it all still looks nice and its not so big on the screens of mobiles plus it keeps it all clean as it scales it down and is not changing the width ratio messing up the text etc inside, Let me know your thoughts

    You can still ask IPS if they're willing to upload to the server, which they do for select customers (mainly Enterprise I think). 
    I also think it's reasonable to request a refund.

    I've just purchased this and after an initial hiccup (quickly and efficiently sorted by @Fosters - Many Thanks!) is working very well.
    Please could I add a suggestion for consideration. I appreciate there is a purchase filter, could you add "NOT purchased"? Then I could use it to remind members to purchase a supporter package.
    Many thanks

    Kitchen Sink 14 Released!
    New! Option for Full Inbox Warnings. New! Option to restore multi-mod action on first post in a topic. Full inbox warnings is just a revamp of the free plugin in the Marketplace. Cleaned it up a touch and added an additional placement option beyond what you get in the free one. Option to not warn at all (default), a warning banner just below the breadcrumb line or there abouts, or a top of the browser full width warning. Warning displays on every page a member browses for as long as their inbox is at or over the limit for the number of messages their member group is allowed to have. Goes away once they cull below that line. Useful in that until they get below quota they will not be able to receive any new messages.

    The multi-mod restoration was a request from @Bill Edwards who pointed out two long standing request threads for this feature to be restored. I've purposely locked this down to only merge. Reasons? The first post in a topic is a special snowflake and needs to be treated differently - even though it is a post (comment in the IPS parlance) it is considered locked in as a part of the topic itself. Most of the multi-mod actions already do treat it differently, or at least avoid it in some respects, but IPS still purposely disabled multi-mod actions on it for good reasons - mainly they haven't built in anything safe enough to prevent you from breaking the topic. If you need to do real moderation to the first post use the moderator actions button alongside the reply to topic button. 
    What happens if I let you run free with all the usual multi-mod actions?
    Assuming you select the first, second and third posts in a topic with the multi-mod button, here is what you could do and what would happen.
    Hide: Would hide the second and third posts, leave the first post untouched. 
    Trash: Trashes the second ans third posts, leaves the first post untouched (pretty sure, kinda forgot my test on this)
    Merge: Safe! It will merge posts two and three into the first, allowing you to edit as needed before saving. 
    Split: Here comes trouble... It does work; too well actually. Let's change the scenario a bit. Let's say we have five posts in a topic. With multi-mod enabled on the first post, you proceed to select the first, second, and third posts for splitting. Splitting doesn't let you split large posts into separate posts in the same topic, what it does is allows you to split the posts off into another already existing topic or start a new one with those posts. 
    You hit save, and posts 1, 2, and 3 are now in a new topic. Believe it or not, not only do posts 4 and 5 bump up correctly in the old topic, post 4 gets flagged correctly as the first post in the database. Was surprised by that myself. 
    So you think all is well? How about instead of splitting off posts 1, 2, and 3 we split off *all* of them?
    You can do that with multi-mod and once you do? Congratulations! You've just turned this topic into a zombie. Oh it still exists, it just has no posts and there is no way to add posts back into it.
    So, seeing as how the hide and trash multi-mod actions don't work on the first post, and the possibility to do stupid things with split, I've done some junk to make the first post in a topic visible as such to the js controllers and added a new bit of js. When you have selected the first post in a topic for multi-mod the only option you get is merge. Uncheck the first post and all the other options come back immediately.
    Only tiny hitch is the multi-mod controller doesn't emit an event when the button options change so I had to listen for something else - and that just means the button controller that pops up will be slightly non-centered when the first post is selected. No big deal (though when I installed it on another test board on my dev installation it did pop up the multi-mod options with no checkboxes selected in the first topic I viewed. I just selected hide and save and it went away - this was 99% likely just a phantom resulting from me running multiple dev boards on the same laptop - some lingering browser js vars carrying across installations. Nothing to worry about)


    That's all. If I can get IPS to emit an event on the rebuildButton thingy it will be centered. No matter, I think you can live with it.

    Please @Lindy bring back the checkbox for the first post. I don't know what the reason why the first post can't be merged with any other post.
    We would need this feature very often.
