I am stuck at the moment, i've come to a grinding halt whilst changing a theme on my forum. I'm wanting a dark theme, i've managed to change a lot of the colours via the easy editor. But I'm stick, need to change the background of the actual postbit (The area where this text is). This is probably too much to ask, but how can I change the following colours, I guess I have to manually do these via HTML/CSS options. Anyway here is what I need to edit, the YELLOW highlights are the colours i'd like to change. Back in the day when I used to use vBulletin, it could edit all the HTML to get the correct colour where I wanted it, but for some reas…

All, Is there any risk when using Cloudflare and its caching abilities that it would cache an active user session, thus allowing the next person who visits to be logged in as that user?

Hi, I would like to sort 'record fields' into different Tabs in the 'Record Form'. I see that the ability to do this is 'Record Form Template' already, but I haven't seen how I can add them in the Pages ACP. Is there something in the Pages ACP that I have missed or has this not fully been implemented yet? Cheers,

Okay so this has been really annoying me for some time now, in v4+ they changed the way quotes work, if you quote a post that has a quote in the original quote will not be shown hence making the new post make no sense as it appears they are talking to themselves or you can't see the context of the post. This has never been like this in any of the previous versions and i would love to be able to change this, so i ask. Is this possible? If so, is there an add-on or will i have to make edits myself? Thanks

I have searched but can't quite find the right answer. I have already changed under global_config my site to "HTTPS". When enabling HTTPS on your site I have noticed that on older posts with images I will get the mixed content warning in my browser. The rest of the site is fine under HTTPS. Is there anyway to make the older images push out under HTTPS? I thought under the ACP when you enable REMOTE IMAGES>SERVE IMAGES FROM LOCAL SERVER that this would download the images and then push it back out under the site locally so you wouldn't get the mixed content warning. Then after the 7 days if no one views the images it would delete itself until someone views the image aga…

we've got a forum for a community that consists of a few clans and we've extended our forum to these clans so they have a home by providing them with their own private category that only their members can access. with this comes a lot of work for new clan members that sign up or join a clan since only admins can move users to a group which can access their respective clan category. is it possible to assign a clan leader some kind of admin privilege over their category so they can admin their own section? rather than 4 or 5 different clan leaders asking me to pin topics, etc... or would it be possible to give these clans a sub domain with their own category/subforum on …

I would prefer to select albums or categories, and then pull a single image to display in a block, then after a short period of time the block would automatically select another random image from the same selection criteria. This was an older feature in IPB3 that was really nice to use.

I see no indication anymore when you have a member to validate such as when they changed their address. I had to be contacted by the member and then went into admin, clicked members, and the cilcked validating and there he was. That is just a bad deal if that is the case. I don't want to have to go hack around to see if I have to do anything in the admin and also have members have to use the contact form to let me know they are in the queue. Any admin task pending should be front and center as a temp message when entering the admin function (in my opinion).

Hi, Right now on my website the latest posts block displays the latest posts made on a thread, which is what I want. But it lists the original author and original posting time of the thread itself, which I do not want. I'd like it so that it shows the author of the latest reply and the time of that reply, instead of the original author. How can I set this up? I can't seem to find a plugin for it and there's no configuration option either. Thanks!
