Hello I have noticed that in clubs, the Events and Forum tabs open up outside the club, so that the other tabs disappear. When using the other tabs, the user stays within the club and this makes a lot more sense. is this normal behavior or is there something wrong with my setup/theme?

Ok so highlighted replies are a feature I've been using for awhile in order to highlight not just staff posts but also donors to the site ( http://quarantinedrp.com ) as you can see from this site there are a few donors which requires me to use CSS in order to make these posts/comments a different color so just incase the css is taking some form of functionality out of the ignore feature here is the code: /* Members and Guests */ .ipsComment_highlighted[data-membergroup="1"], .ipsComment_highlighted[data-membergroup="2"] { border: 1px solid #121212; box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8), 0px 0px 0px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) …

Has anyone else noticed the huge decline in visitors and members on there forums over the last couple of year. Page hits and ad impressions have dropped dramatically . Theres now a 1/3rd of the visitors who use to use the forum now active, adsense revenue is now a 1/3rd of what it used to be... Is there an answer to sort this, its purely down to Facebook groups... My forum is 14 year old and I'm considering options..

So when I leave everything as is and continue on, I get a blank list download.

I am working on a Marketplace in Pages and would like to have the following to make it easy to contact the person who posted the record/marketplace ad.

I would like to have a button the visitor can click so their email client opens up with a new emails where the email address and subject field is automatically filled in. PM: You can hover over the member's user name and you will see a small window open where you can click Message to start a new PM to that person. I would like to have a button sim…

I am trying to setup the PayPal Withdrawal Method in Account Credit Settings but the URL on that page for "Request API Credentials" is sending me to a PayPal page that does not provide me with any option of allowing IPS to produce the credentials it is looking for.

....Default Avatars appear when sharing a Topic to Facebook. I have a private Facebook Group only used as a supplement to my main IPS Board. Only Members of the Board are Members and activity is modest by design. Occasionally I will Share an interesting Topic from the Board to that FB Group. It seems that the link always has a default Member Avatar as part of the linked Topic; The square colored block with a letter Avatar. Other times there is no Avatar at all in that Link. Many Members that participated in a particular Shared Topic have loaded personal Avatars, which would look more attractive and in context in that FB Topic link. It doesn't seem to matter if …
