Worked with @ehren. tonight to track down some ipsfocus themes vs. KS problems.
Short version: KS works fine with ipsfocus themes. There are occasionally some theme blips that pop up - if you run with ipsfocus stuff and have a problem just yell, the fix is almost certainly a tiny bit of css code in your custom.css to fix the problem (duplicate avatar in userbar is the one I encountered). Granted, as with any theme, once core elements have been moved or duplicated, plugins may no longer be able to hook in correctly to do what they need to do so you will need to expect some loss of functionality the more the theme has been altered away from the IPS default.
However, as is the case with all IPS 4x stuff, you MUST keep your themes up to date. If you somehow are running 7 or 8 or more point versions behind since you updated your theme and your theme provider has provided updated themes - what's your excuse? 
The problem site this evening was running a number of ipsfocus themes, two of which crashed when KS was active in the plugin list. With KS disabled those two themes resumed working. How and why? No idea. Hell, I have no idea how they functioned at all those themes hadn't been updated in months which is an eternity in IPS time. More power to you if those out-of-date themes still function on the latest versions of IPS but once you start adding on plugins on top of those ancient themes who knows when something is going to tip the theme system over the edge and crash out.
KS 10 soonish. 
 

Catching up with PMs now. I should be able to include all the recent bug fixes in 1 go.

For websites with forum-based content, which I believe is most of the cases of IPS websites, the idea of having a separate database like IPS Pages does not appear to be a good idea. Besides, I think Pages is beyond the need of most of the websites of this kind (though it still lacks many fundamental or important features, and is not easy to use). On the contrary, the current Portal app is just too simple.
I suggest something in the middle of the two, with the following features: 
Display:
Truncating options to set length, to choose whether to keep the formatting (i.e. rich text). Article thumbnails (generated from images in the post, if no image available then choose a default one). Article management:  To ability to manually modify the displayed articles: remove or re-order/rearrange them (so that old articles can go on top if needed). Currently the list is built from a set of chosen forums, with a predefined order (based either on creation date or on the date of the last post). Category: the ability to define a category for each added article. The ability to remove/add/re-order an article in a category. Permission: which groups are able to manage the list. Moderations action in topics: promote to or de-promote from Portal (can choose category). With these feature, the app does have a database, but it is very simple: just a list of arrays of topic IDs. Each list corresponds to a category, which contains the name of the category and an array of article IDs in this category.    I strongly recommend @Mike John to make a paid app with these features, as a Pro version of Portal. I believe it will be a success. Of course I would be very happy buying it  If somebody else is also interested in this, please let Mike know.   Thanks.

Marking not planned because an overhaul of the tag system will likely address much of this. 

I'm getting the same error as @Unlucky, on 4.1.11
However, scrolled up and saw that @MGeek advised to update the plugin over itself, that cured it for me @Unlucky

 

Thank you, can I just say that I LOVE your plugin, it has made my forum so much better looking. I love clean structured design, but also as a Professional Photographer I want images to be a main part of my forum.
Oh, and your rapid and efficient support is First Class....
Thanks again @onlyME, just off to look at your other plugins.

@Lenny Warren The padding issue will be fixed in the next version.
I will not update this feature because there are some people who don't like the lighter thumbnails. But you can do it by going ACP > Customization > Themes > click </> to edit your theme > CSS > core > custom > custom.css
Add this code
.tthumbimg { opacity: 0.5 !important; } .ipsDataItem_unread .tthumbimg { opacity: 1 !important; } Save

Any updates on this, are IPS silent on it?

I didn't realise that the decision I made when installing would cause so much annoyance. A lot of my users use iPhones etc. and not being able to use the inbuilt emojis annoys them. It's all about keeping user interaction pleasant. Surely it shouldn't be that hard for IPS to update their old converter?
I know they will say they have other things they need to do, but this annoys users...

Due to index size restrictions in MySQL, this does mean we need to re-create a handful of indexes to fit within MySQL’s rules. Using a standard configuration, MySQL allows 767 bytes per index, which for utf8 means 767 bytes / 3 bytes = 255 characters. For utf8mb4, that means 767 bytes / 4 bytes = 191 characters.
im creating a converter now, i will no longer wait for invision, should be done next days.

That's just not an acceptable answer for those of us that were early adopters of IPB 4. You actually want us to loose months of user data. This should have been taken care of when IPB moved from utf8_unicode_ci to utf8mb4_unicode_ci . We trust IPS to do what is right to keep their clients up to date with the latest releases. If the latest releases IPB has had a default character set change there should be a way for IPS's paid clients to benefit from that change, and advancing along with everyone else on the same playing field.
It seems to me that IPS should jump ahead of this and create a conversion script for its clients. This not only fixes future problems, but will also lessen support tickets.
Or better yet can we create a ticket for this. The majority of independent IPS clients are comfortable with running MySQL scripts.

Gotcha, makes sense, many thanks @Adriano Faria.

I see the problem. This widget is made to work only on horizontal mode (top or bottom of the page), not in sidebar. It's too much information to show there.

When you move it to a right place, it works:

I will edit the description to add this information.

Thanks!
I was going to PM you but I made a very minor change after you downloaded 1.0.1... so I recommend re-downloading it.  

Just bought this @Adriano Faria, exactly what I needed. Thanks, works beautifully.

Ok, now is clear. I'll take a look tomorrow in the morning.

What doesn't wotk? Notification? Auto follow? Hard to understand!
If the NEW POST notification doesn't work, that's not related to my plugin. This is a core feature. My plugin only add you to the follower list. After set a topic, note if you and the others from selected group are following the topic.
Core sends that notification. Not my plugin. 
Anyway, I can't do anything today. I'm on a mobile device. The plugin works, as you saw on my screenvideo. I think you more confused than anything else.

Received.

@Lenny Warren, it works fine for me: http://www.screencast.com/t/HZMZ8XfI
Uninstall the plugin, reupload the files and then reinstall it.

Ok.

So @Lindy, please, upgrade the script to work on IPS 4! Thanks!

None taken, see here.
