Alright, the short version is that I haven't installed and setup a web server in about 10 years. In order to get IPS setup within the company I work for I need to setup an internal server and I'm having nothing but a pain in doing it. This server is refusing to install anything but 5.4 PHP which I'm willing to come back to later. Before I tried updating to 5.6 I had free and clear everything and I should have installed and just left it at that. Now I'm having a nightmare of a time getting the install script to work at all. Problem one. On the first screen where it verifies permissions and that everything is installed it's saying: Mind you I have…

I'd like to soften the look just a little, it's really too bold in the posts. Can I change just the @mentions color with a custom css setting?

I created a new database template. But, there's some stylistic things on that page that I'd like to do with CSS. I noticed that inside of Templates there is a CSS tab, and no files inside. I created a CSS file there. How would I go about assigning that particular CSS file to my new database template, or that file to specific divs?

So I've got several fields in my database that I'm not requiring my staff to fill out. So it's an optional database field, essentially. When it comes to displaying this on the front end - can someone tell me the "Custom Display Format" that would hide this field if nothing is filled in. Then display the field if the staff member had put content into that optional database field. Thanks!

I installed a test site and the editor seems "stuck". I tried clearing all of my browser cache / settings (Chrome), closing and reopening the browser, and also running the site through the ACP support tools. Still no editor. I just installed this test site, it's completely stock. I went to the toolbar in the ACP, and you can see all of the buttons are missing. I cleared the cache and reopened my browser several times, still no luck.

Hi, I want to edit the email templates, but it is very hard to edit them, as there is no visual editor or a preview button. So it gets very annoying editing, and then somehow forcing an email to be sent to myself to check if the changes I did are correct. Is there an easier way to edit the email templates? The addition of a preview button would go a long way... Thank you all in advance.

I like to show more than 5 popular contributors on the side bar widget in topic view. I toggle the option from front end widget control to make it 10 or 20. It's only increasing this numbers for week, but not for month, year and all time which remains fixed at 5. If I move this widget on main body above the topic it's showing up to 15 (not 20), but not in the sidebar. Anyway possible to fix that?
