Hello, As the title say: how can I disable the rep system in off-topic and others areas ? The rep system is useless if users can "exploit" it by earning points in areas of no importance (like off-topic). Users in my forum get a lot o rep by posting funny stuff and users that participate in serious discussions, sometimes, get less reps. Thank you.

Hello, How can I inform a user that an admin changed his/her display name? In v3.x there was an option to send an email with this kind of information. Now it is unavailable. This is a crucial function.

I went to ugprade to version 4 and I had issues with this and had to revert back. I would love to upgrade to 4 but wanted to see if this was fixed. I put a link to my site and wanted to see if the upgrade could handle this? My site does trophy guides for the PS3/PS4/Vita and it includes japanese/korean games as well. Last time I asked was about 1 year ago so wanted to see if there is any changes. http://ps3imports.org/forum/index.php?/topic/7663-hoshi-ori-yume-mirai-converted-edition-trophy-guide/

I'm looking for ways to retrieve search result outside the suite from existing application. Is there any way I can get search result outside the suite? It would be ideal if there's a REST API for that, but I couldn't find it yet.

Hi there, getting much spam posts in the last few days. Gone that far that I had to disable the registration function. IPS Spam Service detects not everything. ReCaptcha2 is enabled but they still can register. Do you know how I can set a Filter for korean language to be denied? They post a answer in every topic, creating new ones and so on... Never had spam until now...

I'm having an issue where my users are posting a link to tweet and it fails to embed the entire tweet except on mobile devices. On desktop browsers it is only showing the written text in the tweet and not any video or image that accommodates the tweet. On IE the tweet embeds and perpetually expands horizontally as if stuck on the enter key On Firefox Only the text displays On Safari Only text displays Any mobile browser works perfectly website url is corn-rages.com for anyone who wants to try it out. You will have to register to test post. Don't worry no spam.

I have 2gb overhead in the posts table, so the database is actually larger than it was previous to archiving. Do I just leave it like that? Or is it safe to optimise?

Im trying to figure out how to add badges to members profiles like below. I know that i can add awards, but I don't think that's the same thing. Something like what Daniel has, the IPS Staff badge. EDIT: Never mind, figured it out. Is there anyway to make it show the images for multiple groups?

Instead , If I go to www.website.com, it will now go to a page that you created from the admincp. Is there a widget for an image slider for customizing pages?
