@Marc thanks for the update.

I searched the release notes for 5.0.19 Beta 2 and did not see that this has been fixed. If anyone knows otherwise please let me know. I will check again when 5.0.20 is out.

Am I correct that email advertisement does not send ads in bulk mail?

@Jim M yeah I understand

I understand but this puts me in limbo. Would you guess at least a number of weeks? More importantly - any suggestion on how I am going to know when this has been addressed?

@Jim M I understand that this is likely not a hot critical fix but any idea when it might be addressed? My test environment expires on 6/18 and I need to see everything work before I pull the trigger on the upgrade.

@Ehren Awesome! Thank you.

@Jim M Yes I am on IPS cloud hosting and the examples above are from a provided test instance.

@Marc I found "Record Image Settings" in Pages / Editing Database Articles / Options. That setting toggles on and off the thumbnail on the index page AND the large image at the top of the actual article page. I want to remove the large image at the top of the individual article page but I want to retain the thumbnail on the index page. Does this require editing the code for the template? FYI - a search inside ACP for "Record Image Settings" did not return a result. The search inside ACP is often so helpful

Thanks @Marc As always I could be fat fingering a checkbox or misunderstanding an instruction but I do not think so. How do I escalate?

@Jim M I did as you asked & looked at what happens when there is only one banner active but it does not answer the question I am asking. One banner works perfectly. Just to be clear - I have a total of 6 banners that I need to randomly rotate between the topics and posts at regular intervals- in this case every 8. I understand and agree that this behavior is not native in 4.x. If this behavior is also not native in 5.x then that is all I need to know. I will need custom code. Say so and I know who to contact. If this is native behavior with 5.x? Then yes, I may have a conflict, I am have misconfigured my site or there is a bug. I would not be surprised if it is my error but want to make sure before I bang my head in the keyboard any more. The below video from my 4.x site. In this example there are 6 banners rotating randomly / displayed after every 8th topic. 20260522-0013-28.8293371.mp4

I was really just asking if this is a known issue. I'm going to cross my fingers that after I migrate to version 5. I won't have to deal with it.

maybe I misunderstand. On my 4.x site I essentially have an ad position after every 8th topic or 8th post. I can then assign as many different ads as I want to rotate through that position. ( see image in my original post. ) Are you telling me that my 5.x test site should let me do the same thing? I have disabled all banners across the site except for 2 that are configured identically. Of the 2 banners one is in correct position and the second is below the following post. This would be acceptable if I only had a few banners in rotation but I have 6 banners that I need to rotate.

I am working toward upgrading to IPS5 so maybe this does not matter but.... When I enabled and configured Meta Pixel in my IPS4 site I was no longer able to edit forum posts. I could click edit and work in the editor but the save button was dead. As soon as I disabled Meta Pixel the issue was resolved. Weird conflict? I will need Meta Pixel when after I upgrade. Is this a know issue?

I am working in a plain 5.x test instance. I have disabled the 2 custom apps I have installed. All three banners are set the same. Am I misunderstanding?
