We accidentally hid the posts of the wrong user. When you view a profile it shows you 25 posts at a time. Is there a way to increase this number to 100+ at a time so that we can just select all and unhide?

Hello, I updated my theme recently and need to change the color of the category header background from the whitish-gray to something darker, as seen in the screenshot provided. There is also now a new bar containing a 'start new topic' button right below the chatbox that I would like to removed in its entirety. How would I go about these tasks? Thank you very much!

Hello, I'm having trouble with my 4.2.1 IPB and support are taking their sweet time to answer my ticket (not sure if they are just asleep and don't do 24/7 service). The problem happened when I tried to install Name 2 Avatar. I got an error that said "You are not allowed to do this" with the following system log: IPS\Db\Exception: Table 'joestome_ipb.downloads_files' doesn't exist (1146) #0 /home/joestome/public_html/system/Db/Db.php(1894): IPS\_Db->query('ALTER TABLE `do...') #1 /home/joestome/public_html/system/Application/Application.php(3953): IPS\_Db->dropColumn('downloads_files', 'file_n2a_photo_...') #2 /home/joestome/public_html/applications/core/m…

4.2 Commerce Subscription Major Marketing Feature Missing If you're using commerce for subscriptions, a major marketing opportunity is missing should someone decide NOT to renew. Currently, the only option that you have is move expired members back to their original group or not. There should be an option to move expired members to a group of your choosing. In this fashion, people who chose NOT to renew would be placed into a "former" subscriber group, thus you can reach out to them in the future with special offers, etc. With the current setup, once someone expires and they go back to their original group, you simply loose track that they were once a pay…

Now that the IPS Chat module has been gone for a while, does anyone have a recommendation for a stand alone replacement product that they like? I'd also be interested in those that are not recommended. I've read the threads here regarding the topic, but I don't see much in the way of reviews after use. We're a small, college sports-based board and use our chat room mainly for getting together during football games, so we don't need anything powerful or expensive, just something that integrates easily with IPS. TIA!

4.2.1: View Signatures Turned Off ? It appears that when you create a new group(s) based off the default member group to promote members from one group to another or for subscriptions, members in the new group can no longer view signatures. ^ I found this setting, which enables signatures, but is there one for viewing signatures based on member groups? ^ When I go into the default member group and view a member's profile, the view signatures is turned on. ^ When I view members from newly created group (based off the member group), all members have view signatures turned off. Is there something that I am missing here…

There used to be a way to see big files and remove them if need be in the Gallery as an admin. I need to find and remove some big files via the software in Gallery. I can do it via the server, but then it creates broken links, etc. in the Gallery. Is there a way to still do this in the Gallery? Thanks!
