Hi Guys, I hope I'm not going to annoy anyone by asking a really silly question but where do I adjust the amount of likes a member gives on posts? I've spent the last hour and half searching and I can't find anywhere I can adjust the current 50 likes per member per day to a greater amount. I apologise in advance if this stoopid question is in the wrong boards.

Evening all, I'm looking to confirm the purpose of this switch on user group permissions. This option says, "The user will be able to: edit comments and entries, delete comments and entries, and lock entries from further comments." Am I correct in thinking that would give each user the ability to edit other users' comments on their blog entries? Thanks! -Dev

Hi Guys - Anyone have experience with responsive ad units? I'm running some tests before converting my entire site, and need to get responsive ads working. I'm having all kinds of trouble. I've read the DFP documents ( https://support.google.com/dfp_premium/answer/3423562?hl=en&ref_topic=4390040 ) but to no avail. I noticed a lot of people talking about selecting the ad unit size "responsive" when creating an ad unit. I don't even have this option. I have every size imaginable, just not responsive. Any help is appreciated.

Let me start off by saying, I don't know exactly what my problem is! So I can't get my head around the pop3 and smtp service on the IPB4, I mean I set it up, it works as it should BUT what I don't get or what I would like to understand is, lets say my site domain is "great.com" and the smtp is set to "vlad@great.com", the MX records are set up for IPB for that domain and I also have the ".co.uk" of the same domain Which the email doesn't work because the domains mx record is set up to run smtp on the ".com" (*) and when I try set up the email for the ".co.uk" I'm faced with a MX error "this can't be setup as the MX records are controlled by another app" etc. …

Hey there, I currently have a login handler for steam that assigns each user a steamID that's stored in the DB as steamid. What I'm looking to do is force the forum to make that a profile field for the user so it's accessible through the REST API. What's the best way to do this? In short: > Register through handler > Handler grabs steamid > Saves steamID under users DB - *What I want to do now* - > Create custom profile field for SteamID > grab steamid from DB > put into the members custom profile field

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…

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
