users automatically get a "forum upload" album. Anything from the forums goes there. Same as facebooks "timeline" album.

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.

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?

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.  

THIS!!! well stated. I am concerned about fractured content but especially images. Although, as aforementioned, VBulletin has solved for this issue.

Image board owners face a major struggle between forums for images and Gallery. They are disconnected.

For those of us that run image boards IP4.x has some issues I've been thinking over. There is some disconnected logic regarding images. I have boards for posting images but I also want to use gallery. I am going to end up with fragmented content all over the place and no easy way to find content from a specific user.

1. It's difficult to view IMAGE attachments per user in profile. You can see "posts" or "topics" but not attachments. 
2. If we have boards that are set up for posting images AND Gallery installed there is a logical disconnect.  We end up with some images in the forums and other images in the gallery but no way at all to tie the two together.  (see screen shot, this user has posted MANY images to the forums but under images there isn't anything posted.)

Recommendation: An option to allow images posted in the forums to automatically be considered part of gallery and be view-able in both places. Forms feeding gallery would avoid any fragmentation or disconnects. Also a place in profile to view "attachments"

Note: VB5 actually works by integrating user "image" content in forums or gallery into one single thing. It's one of the few things I really like about VB5. No more fragmentation or struggle between images posted in forums verses gallery

maybe because I only had one blog setup total on the whole website. It was the user who wanted his account deleted. So once his account was gone blog errored out. I made a new blog as a test (in the ACP) and the problem went away. Weird. Thank you for the fast reply

concern 1

BLOG GOT MESSED UP! I had a user who had started a blog and then requested to have account deleted. After deleting his account my entire blog application won't function. Just errors out.

concern 2

Clicking cancel request as a moderator tries to delete the account anyway?

Any luck on this? Do I still need to PM?

Hello,

I need a link on topic.

basically any image. When on mobile, it won't increment when clicked. http://www.lovethesecurves.com/index.php?/forums/topic/13913-daes-pictures/

doesn't seem to be working. I have lots of images that when viewed, aren't being counted correctly or at all.  Image views are under counted.

FYI: I am testing on mobile

Causes MySQL server to run crazy cpu levels, session table queries stack and site comes to a screaming stop leaving 504 gateway errors to my real guests. Please fix! I'm not on free hosting I have a private dedicated server. 

I have 30k real user accounts. Test on bigger board like mine and you will see this code is flawed. 

Also im only generating 6 fake sessions

Purchased but I have no idea how to get this thing to show up in the menu. I created some questions. How can my members find them?

I see the link now http://example.com/admin/upgrade/ that helps. Thanks guys

but it still takes me to this

An error occurred (500 Error)

​Thanks but I am not operating in a different directory than live site. This is my live site. That's what I was saying, I am trying to update my live site. I don't want a test site. Where are the instructions for just using the bloody thing for folks who don't want to screw around with test sites?

So, I tried to follow these instructions only slightly modified because I don't want to make a test site. I want to convert my real site to 4.0. I couldn't see any instructions on this site anywhere for people who want to do that. Here's what I tried to do instead.

1. checked compatibility using script - passed

2. Converted to UTF8 -finished successfully.

3. moved all but " downloads, public, screenshots and uploads and my conf_global.php file"  the to the _347 folder

4. Copied 4.0RC3 files to root

5. went to my site and got an error.. 

An error occurred (500 Error)

We're sorry, but a temporary technical error has occurred which means we cannot display this site right now.

You can try again by clicking the button below, or try again later.     

What did I do wrong? Can anyone help? Shouldn't there be an install script running or something when I get to my site?

Please help, thank you
