    You can find them in the `convert_link` table, they're logged as (type) 'core_attachments'.

    The UI is greatly simplified so that this information isn't visible, we do however still log any issues to the database so that can be reviewed. It's important to remember that the converted counts won't always match, we mostly see this with vB where the database can contain a lot of orphaned data. Yes, any required rebuilds and processes are automatically started when the conversion is completed. Thanks for the feedback!
    The converter saves ids for almost everything converted, vBulletin attachment.php URLs will be redirected automatically to the relevant location. We try to redirect as many (important) URLs as possible.

    Stuart Silvester got a reaction from Matt in Test drive Invision Community 4.4 now!   
    We do set the container size in content, there was a minor issue where this wasn't occurring for images inserted via Giphy. We've fixed that now (although, not yet live on here). If you insert images from any other source for example, you'll see container sizes being set.

    If you have your community configured to use 'site traffic' to run tasks, it relies on the amount of traffic your community receives. For best speed and reliability, switch your task method to use CRON. (search for tasks in AdminCP).

    Q - When can I download it?
    A - When it’s ready™️
    Just thought I’d help get that one cleared up straight from the off.
    Brb, off to play.

    Stuart Silvester got a reaction from LeonSK in 4.4: 6 New Micro Features   
    There's also a new option to have announcements just be text that doesn't link to anywhere. 🤫
    This is something that's rolled out everywhere in the platform, not just on member profiles. The announcement screenshot above gives a good idea of what this looks like on the forum index, you'll note that my name is in red.
    Where the sidebar widgets are shown depends on how you have your sidebar configured. It's all to do with the flow of HTML (sorry for getting technical), if the sidebar is on the right then the widgets are in the HTML after the page content. If they're on the left, they are before the page content. When the page is condensed down to a single column, it is this structure that determines where those widgets are displayed.
    Quite simply though, if you have a widget that's important enough to display on mobile, you would check the 'mobile' option in the widget settings.

    Good stuff, Matt. When I started using Pages it took me a while to get to grips with it. A video like this will come in very handy for other new users, I'm sure.
    My main site's still under development and has quite a bit of Pages powering it. I don't want to link to it whilst it's still not ready but here's an example: a pronunciation database for language learners, powered by Pages:

    You can't buy it in the UK, when my brother visits from California he brings some and likewise when we go to California we take some English things you can't easily get over there (mostly Quavers and Flakes). Fortunately, it only needs to be in the fridge after opening!

    Stuart Silvester reacted to Nathan Explosion in Team Talk: What is the geekiest thing you do in your spare time?   
    I'm well past the 'geeky' stuff - anything that used to be considered geeky is now the norm.
    But we (myself and my wife) have the Guinea Pig bug.....we've got 12 of our own. A herd of 4 indoors (the mixed group below) and outdoors a herd of 4 (the goldens/reds below) and 2 pairs of 2 plus we are also fostering 2 at the moment for a rescue we help with. If you'd told me 3 years ago that I'd be like this I would have laughed in your face.
