Okay for some reason my forum icons are greyed out "faded out" vs. in full color of the original photo. Do anybody know how to fix this? the description says The icon displays next to the forum in the forum list. It will automatically be faded out to indicate if there are no unread topics within the forum. But I don't want it faded at all. :(9

I've successfully installed Tapatalk plugin and I have a white page with HTTP ERROR 500 when I want to edit the settings in order to apply my API Key from Tapatalk. From cPanel I can choose PHP versions, now I have PHP 5.6, when I change to PHP 7 and try to edit again the plugin settings it appears a pop-up message with this content "Something went wrong. Please try again.". Does anyone have the same issue or had and it solved? I've already submitted a support ticket to Tapatalk but I don't know if it's theirs issue or it's from my installation.

Hello, from my point of view the Emoji support should be included in the standard product. Especially on mobile devices the users are used to use the standard emojis instead of opening a new window for ipb smilies.

Hello everyone, I am currently working on a forum transfer from vBulletin 4 to IPS and I would like to ask you on few questions. Here is the url link for the forums: http://forum.blizzfan.cz/ 1) Can I create a beta forum where I will try the newest system, new plugins and try the vBulletin transfer without any risk that I will corrupt the main database? 2) I've got lots of custom smilies saved in specified folder. Can I also transfer them? 2) Most of BB codes should be transferred from vBulletin, right? I am talking about text changes - bold text, font size, etc. 3) I am using several custom BB codes, e.g. WoWhead tooltips. Codes are for example [ITEM…

I am storing all other images in an S3 bucket, per the setup in Storage Settings. I noticed that the record image is still being stored on my server in the uploads directory. How do I get the record image to be stored on S3? I guessed it was the CMS Media setting, but that doesn't seem to be it. Anyone know this?

I'm customising my templates to a particular database and one of the things I want to do is make it possible to add a new record. Normally that's part of the template, but the catch here is that I want my button to add a record in another category. In fact, I'm placing it in the categoryIndex. OK, I could just insert a button and give it an href to the category in question, but I'd also like to respect permissions to do so. The normal way of accomplishing this is: {{if $category->can('add')}} <li class='ipsToolList_primaryAction'> <a class="ipsButton ipsButton_medium ipsButton_important ipsButton_fullWidth" href="{$category->url()…
