I'm in the same position as @superj707 where I have forums meant to showcase iimage, and then I have Gallery.  
Since the underlying purpose is the same, the it makes sense to be able to 'push' content into the Gallery.  
There are multiple ways to implement and they're all acceptable.  In fact, the grand variety of ways to combine the two apps is what makes the integration such a fascinating and compelling feature!
- you can define uploads in the forum topic  to go to Gallery
- you can define uploads to be pushed into a virtual album that can be viewed in Gallery as well
- you can define a hybrid where you choose to upload to both Gallery and to My Attachments
- you can simply Insert Album into the forum post 
- you can upload to My Attachments per user, which lends more to a social experience tird around users
- users automatically get a Community Album by default
Etc.  I don't actually care how IPS implements the cross-over promotion (that's what we pay them for, so they can figure it out, right?) So long as they implement something. But right now we have nothing.  
Will it perhaps require expanded permissions of categories and Albums in Gallery? Perhaps.  Admins of users will need to decide if they allow forum uploads (or on a broader scale, if they allow any community image).  Will it also require expanded settings in forum topics or in forum boards? Probably.  
Theres a ton of complexity in this that I can't even begin to understand.  But its in that complexity that there's the most potential for growth and entire sets of new features.  
 

It's a fair point if you're not running an image board. However people who run image boards have entire forums setup for posting of content (IMAGES) -showcasing images
Thus it's confusing for users to have content strewn about between forums and gallery. There is no way to go to a users profile and see ALL the images they have posted.
Even facebook, combines images posted to the timeline with the archive "users photos". If it suited you better I would propose that gallery contain an album called Forum images (similar to what facebook does)
For example I have a forum called "Pictures of you" ... I don't like having to search forums and gallery for images of a specific user. These images, once posted to the forum, should be able to be found in the gallery with the other images.
Maybe an option to include which forums feed gallery?

That makes better sense. I think it would be an awesome feature maybe to allow Gallery upload/use from the editor. Like where the uploads bar is have an option to switch the uploads bar to a "Gallery" bar where you can see uploaded gallery images (to a specific category setup by admin) search them and also upload new ones as necessary.
That's likely too much/not what you're looking for but that could be a good feature to include.
Could even be as easy as a toggle that says "Uploads go to Gallery" in the forum setup.
I think the difficulty here becomes, things like "albums" and whatnot because if there is an album would it upload to that album? What if they don't have an album? What if they have two in that category? I guess that could potentially be resolved by an images only category but then you get no separation in the gallery itself if that's what you're looking for.
I see the point but I think the problem is implementation.

I'm curious if you are basically wanting Forum posted images to also be posted into the Gallery or in Gallery type content?
I'm not sure I fully support that idea.
To me that sounds counter intuitive as to me the gallery is a showcase, it's a place that you upload your images to view sort of like going to a gallery to view an artists work. The forum images are normally meant for conversation or discussion and not meant to be "showcased".
If both were being streamed together it wouldn't make sense to me as it's not the purpose of the two apps. I would certainly love to have the "Insert media from Gallery" feature back and improved upon to include all other apps (insert media from downloads etc) which doesn't do that silly block that you get when you insert links from other parts of the site. I'd prefer that the block be designed more "pretty" and have like the teaser paragraph from articles or a truncated part of the content field and the like.
For me, it doesn't seem like this would be helpful. It would also get messy as I have a forum that currently has a gif war going on.

There's actually a disconnect among all the content in all the apps but that's a larger discussion. Each app is a silo of information and is a problem that plagues a multi-app community.
The OP brings up a powerful example of a very unique weakness in the IPS suite.  Admins often have a fractured content base because images in IP.Board have no way of relating to images in IP.Gallery. It's a major, fundamental concern that I share as well.  
The OP shared one solution: to combine image content from forums and gallery into user content.  
I'm more a fan of generating a 'virtual' album in IP.Gallery where the images are linked from the forums.  
In any case, the cross promotion of content is one area that IPS hasn't even started to address but is a very real problem on complex multi app communities.  

I don't know if you know the site https://gumroad.com/, but I'm going to use it as an example of what I would like to have as an option for files in the suite.
In that site you are allowed to specify a minimum purchase price for your products. So lets say that I put something for sale at a minimum price of $5, people can buy it for that amount, or they can pay more if they wish.
Now, what's more interesting here is that you can set free files, setting the minimum price to 0, but people can still choose to give you some money for it, kind of like a tip.
This is one of my products:

People can input 0 in the box and get the file right away, or they can input whatever amount they feel like.
I'm not gonna reveal any numbers, but this system kinda works, people tips more than I expected for free files.

Search is pretty complex in IPS4 and to be honest, lack of Commerce search was a mere oversight. Unfortunately, it's not something that can just be easily plopped in, but it is something, along with pages in Pages that we have slated to be added in a search overhaul. 

Do you have anything in the SQL error logs related to it? Sounds most likely that the connection haven't been saved for some reason. I would have a look at the SQL error log saved by IPS for the day the comment you have trouble checking was posted on.
Send me a PM if you need me to log in to see further or you find me the error message.

@Lindy since you asked, I would like to know how I can get a list of topics with new (unread posts). When I come to visit the board, I want to know which topics have new replies since my last visit. I don't care for individual posts and I don't understand why I should even see each specific post that has been made. Busy boards can have 1.000+ new posts each day. Do you really expect a visitor that comes back to the board 24 hours later to go through an endless stream of individual posts to see what is new?
What would you suggest to that user to stop complaining about the loss of overview he had with VNC?

Theoretically, if you knew all the information that makes up the anonymous identifier code, someone could try to generate an md5-hash from this information for each member to get an exact match on the code, and thus reveal the identity. 
Although I view it as unlikely, the unique key setting is available so you could add in a string that you choose, so it's much less likely that someone will guess all the information that the md5-code is made up of. 
In order to remove the code from the post itself atm, you could change the language string anon_poster_hash in your default language pack. You can search for "Anonymous poster hash" within the language pack translate screen to find it. Replace it with  
I currently don't have a way to remove this from the guest name when you don't have a user configured, but you could connect it to a user account named "Guest" or whatever you choose, and then it will use that account name. 
I can provide a way to disable this in a later update, I thought it was possible to deselect all for the md5-setting, but that doesn't work, so I'll fix that. 

Jeg har lastet opp en ny versjon for IPS 4.1
 
 
Problemet her er at samme tekst brukes uavhengig av om man starter en ny tråd eller redigerer den. Må evt. bytte til en tekst som gir mening i begge kontekstene eller få IPS til å lage en egen tekst som brukes ved redigering.

Jeg fant ut av det problemet som nevnt over her. Om noen av dere skulle komme borti det samme - så oppstår problemet kun når man har Engelsk som språk i ACP og norsk ellers. 

Planen er å oppdatere språkpakken, men jeg har ikke lenger mulighet til å oversette Gallery og Downloads. Jeg er dog nedlesset i andre oppgaver, men håper å kanskje få det gjort til helgen.

That really isn't required, anyone following this instruction will permanently delete any data stored by those 3rd party applications and be unable to upgrade to their IPS4 version. The upgrade process will remove any 3.x themes and plugins.

Dette er den norske språkpakken for Invision Power Suite 4. Oversettelsen er gjort til bokmål.
Disse applikasjonene er oversatt:
System / Core Forum - IP.Forums Blogger - IP.Blog Kalender - IP.Calendar Galleri - IP.Gallery Nedlastninger - IP.Downloads  
Jeg blir veldig takknemlig for tips til små og store ting som bør endres. Språkpakken er ikke testet eller brukt i et reelt miljø og er gjort uten kontekst. Det kan derfor hende at enkelte ord eller fraser kan misforstås, være for kompliserte eller ikke passe inn i konteksten akkurat nå. 
Det å oversette alt sammen tar svært mye tid (da mener jeg myyyyyeee tid) og er til tider svært krevende og monotont arbeid. Jeg ber dere derfor være forståelsesfulle hvis dere finner ting dere mener burde vært oversatt på en annen måte, høres helt feil ut, er ukonsekvent osv. Det kan godt være jeg er helt enig med dere, men det kan være vanskelig å vite før det blir påpekt.
Jeg blir spesielt glad hvis du har forslag til hvordan enkelte tekster kan forenkles, det er mange ganger jeg har oversatt en frase eller ord hvor jeg har tenkt "Dette ordet eller setningen trenger vel ikke så være lang eller bestå av så mange delord?", men det finner man liksom først ut etter man har brukt det.
Jeg planlegger å oversette andre applikasjoner etterhvert. God fornøyelse!

Takk for tips og hjelp @Arve, @Vikestart og @Kjell Iver Johansen. Jeg landet på "oppføring"
Jeg har nå oppdatert oversettelsen til IPS 4.0.3 og oversatt IP.Pages. 
​
​Takk for det

Oppføring?

Kjempefint at du gjorde denne jobben og vil dele det med oss. Dette gjør at vi vil kunne konvertere til 4.0 på et mye tidligere tidspunkt enn om vi skulle gjort jobben selv. Så snart språkpakken blir godkjent skal jeg installere på mitt testeinstall domene.

A little tip regarding the setting up of the CRON job to handle the tasks for rebuilding - I upgraded my 3.4.7 test site, containing ~56,000 topics/2,600,000 posts, to RC3 on Wednesday and calculated out that the rebuilding tasks would take close to 72 hours to complete even with the CRON job set to every 1 minute (was seeing only a .02% increase every minute for the posts rebuild)
 
The smallest interval that a CRON job can run at is every 1 minute - but there is a way to go lower: sleep xx; (where xx is the number of seconds to wait before running the command after the ; )
I have 3 CRON jobs now set up to run the tasks, each every minute - first one is as presented by IPS when viewing the CRON options within the ACP, but the other two have sleep 20; and sleep 40; added prior to the same command.
Result: the task processing was down to every 20 seconds, and I started seeing a .05%/.06% increase every minute for the posts rebuild as a result. So if you are in a position to know that running faster than a minute will not impact your hosting, then give it a try.
Note: once the rebuild is complete, no real need to keep the extra 2 so just revert back to having the 1 running every minute.

Hello guys, I noticed that writing long posts of the editor remains at the top and frankly I find this uncomfortable, it would be much better than when writing a rather long post inside the text there was a scrollbar so the toolbar remains fixed and does not serve scroll up and down.
Sorry for my english...google translate.
