  1. Sorry for my confusion, but can it really be that difficult to strip of spaces and linefeeds before and after the post content? This is a real problem that requires unnecessary scrolling. Which the subject of the current topic does not. Why was Brandons solution dropped in 4.x? After 19 years as a customer I see that as more of a black hole.
  2. Sorry for the confusion, maybe it's not technically correct to call it whitespace. I'm referring to unnecessary spaces and lineshifts/paragraphs the poster has made before and after the post content. This is a common problem. Brandons solution stripped them off. Release 3.x. I'm aware of the 3. party plugin, but this also strips double lineshifts inside content, which is not a good thing. Might be intentional by the poster.
  3. If this isn't annoying whitespace, then what is it? In the past I have suggested implementing Brandons solution again, to no avail.
  4. White spacing was eliminated 15 years ago by initiative from IPB "doctor" Brandon Faber. But in 4.x it was back. Has been mentioned several times, but IPB does not seems to care.. The avatar field might contribute, but that's because IPB hasn't realized that custom fields should be placed above the signature and, in the same way, should be possible to hide by members.
  5. As far as I can remember it did in a previous generation. Tasks could be run, stopped, scheduled. I asked because I wonder if task are running even if the result is not used. F.ex. if you don't display "Who is online".
  6. Before it was possible to configure processes and enable/disable them? Can't find it anymore in the ACP, Is this still available if you know where to look?
  7. Example: The lower limit for rank 3 is 300 posts. But some members are still placed in rank 3, despite having only 250 posts.
  8. We are only using the old rank system, one point pr post. Seems as if posts in a forum that is set not to increase posts is still counted when assigning rank? More details in our Access Information notes.
  9. I read your post, but could not find any 3. party add-on that could be of any help on this matter. Do you have a link? Why will this forthcoming functionality not be available to self hosting? It's we who pays for our own server who really need to lower this unnecessary load of sending wasted emails.
  10. IPS said many years ago that they would look into this problem. Which, as you say, can have special impact on old forums. Loads of wasted notification mails. Not only because of extinct email accounts, but also because existing accounts are not active. We found examples of members that registered more that 10 years earlier, subscribed to our most popular forums, for then never to be seen again.
  11. I have yet to see a forum that charges for access. But most forums have ads. Can you give an example of a forum that gets a significant amount of their income from charging for access?
  12. Quote from @Matt in the deprecation thread: There cant be many forums, apart from maybe adult related, that make significant money out of charging for access. But lots of forums relies on advertising. Would have liked if IPB instead would use those resources for improving the primitive Advertisment system.
  13. It was marked with this symbol, I thought that indicated a non-customized default skin. The new default skin you created looks similar to me, contains the same templates that is marked as "Unique to this template", compare with the screenshot I posted above.
  14. But how, as said the Delete button does not work? And how can we know if they are used or not, we have never added any templates. Also, these orphaned templates are also present in the Invision default skin. Can the default skin inherit templates?
  15. But these templates are even present in our Invision default skin.
  16. It's modified by us. Just minor modifications, no templates added. We have never used any 3. party theme. We are not using any addons.
  17. During investigation of a problem in the error-log we found a suspected template which was marked "Unique to this theme". It also had a "Delete" button. We have never added any templates to the theme. Clicking Delete only removes the unique marking, template does not get deleted. Later we have found many more unique templates.
  18. Many thanks, that solved it. I wasn't aware of this setting and it's enabled by default.
  19. It seems to be visible for all groups, even guests.
  20. An inline comment will still show that the title has been edited and by which user.
  21. Thanks Jim. To my knowledge there is nothing special with the last comment, apart that it was added 8 years later.
