My site was upgraded last January to 4.1.x. I don't believe any of my added applications or pluggins were removed prior to the upgrade, but they were all removed after the upgrade. The 4.1.x Featured Slider application started new after the upgrade with a new list of entries. However, with 4.1.x and having my site hosted by IPS I can't see a log or list of all entries in the ACP as before. After going past my set (24) I can't prune old entries via a visible list.

@onlyME Is there a way to see the entire log / list of slider entries (topics / images) in the ACP as we could before on 3.4.9 ? My site is hosted by IPS and I don't have ftp access. It would just be easier to prune old entries as needed to make sure there aren't any old broken image files.

Hello @onlyME, I've used your great slider for several years, and it was working perfectly up until a couple of days ago when I tried to get to work on my site which causes an error. I believe this has caused your slider to disappear. I've cashed the site many times, I've uninstalled the Global Header Message app from my site, cashed again and uninstalled all the other apps and pluggins and enabled the slider, and it still won't show on the index or my forum page. I'm currently on 4.1.14.3 and I've downloaded and installed your latest version of the featured slider, please take a look. http://www.hockeyforums.net/ thank you

@newbie LAC Could the same idea for this app be developed as a header image per forum?

Scroll down a little further than the red arrow until you see the arrow and "Reorder" -- click it

As reading through this discussion in this thread it seems that several here who wanted the article discussion in the forums have changed their mind and now use the feature to promote the topic post and all comments to the new Article. I do prefer to have my discussion content in the forums as the application "Blogs" really didn't work well on my site because my members look for topics only in the forums. I don't really see my members looking through an Articles database to post comments, thus my need for this app was to highlight the best of the topic posts on a proposed new front page to the site. The new front page is mainly to attract new members to the site. Maybe the simplest feature to add for those who choose to only promote the topic post is to choose whether or not to allow comments. -- thus a statement as I wrote above to follow the discussion to the original topic can be manually added as needed.

ok, but if someone comments on the article then it doesn't show up in the forum discussion --- thus there then there is a disconnect of the discussion, right? This is what I'd like to avoid.

But what happens to your original discussion that may have started before you promoted the Topic Post to Article?

Where do we vote? Several of us here in this topic have asked for the same thing - to have an option to link all comments back to the original forum topic. I've purchased this and haven't used it yet because I don't want duplicate comment discussion locations for the same topic. I'm cool with a no comment option for the newly promoted article and I'll post my own link back to the original forum topic for comment and discussion if needed. something like .., Join in the discussion "here" where "here" is a link back to the original topic post.

My need for "Promote Post to Article" is completely different. My members bring new topics to the Forums every day, quite a few of those topic posts are original blogs. I want to create a front page that highlights these topics. It's a continual process. However, I don't want to have two locations on my site for a split discussion on the same topic, thus I wish for the comments to go back in the original forum topic for discussion. The app currently puts all new comments on pages as you need, several of us have asked Adrian to give the option for comments to return to the original topic post or on the newly promoted article.

Thank you for this plugin Adriano! It worked great. I've been wanting to remove a few followers from the Moderator forum for some time. One suggestion to the app in the future is the ability to select specific followers to remove if possible rather than remove all and then re-select the group or groups back into it.

@Adriano Faria Is ths in the plans for the next upgrade? I've already purchased the app. My Forum Topic content is generated within the Forums, the best topics will be promoted to Articles to be highlighted on the Home page which makes great use of this app. Because the new Article all ready has a fair amount of discussion within the Forums having a 2nd place for commenting is confusing and redundant. Adding the choice of starting a New Topic in the Forums or comments continuing in to the Original Topic would be ideal addition to this great app.

I vote for *this. I'm just starting to create a home page with a grid your news. And I want to highlight my members topics in the forums with comments directed back to the Forum topic. On the Other hand I will also have a selected group of members who will have the control to create an Article first and I'd like then for a new topic to be discussed in the forums.

go to: themes/ CSS /core / front / custom / nb_tabs_rec_tp.css then add .nbRTPActiveTab { color: #your choice;

I've tried twice with two users, the member can not validate the email, and admin can't validate the member either. I didn't get any topics. I disabled it for now.

Thank you, It works great!

Hi Newbie, Is there a way to make the Recent Topics / Reply bar more obvious to click one or the other as a button option? Thanks

Thanks, Since I run a hockey forum I have members who login via bookmark to specific team forums. By having the newest Topics / Posts on each Team Forum page it increases the number of page visits as a hot topic about another team or general forum may interest the member for additional conversation.

Hello newbie, I haven't updated to 4.0 yet as this hook is one I currently use on 3.8. Will the one for 4.0 be available for each Forum page as well as the index page? Before moving to 4.0 I'm hoping that I can set up each forum page as we did before with with Replies / Posts above the RSS sidebar widget ( unique RSS feed for each forum page.
