Is it possible to add several advertisements next to each other instead of above and below? Right now I have the {advertisement="ad_global_header"} and I would like to place one next to it but it keeps on going above or below it depending on where I place {advertisement="ad_2"} Is there is trick to this? Or would I have to play around with divs... which would suck Thank you

In our 3.4.x board, we had the posts set so that the most recent posts are at the top (so that clicking a topic brought the viewer right to the most relevant information). I've been looking around for a while and have not found the setting yet to control this behavior in 4.x. Can anyone point me to to where I need to be?

For the Gift Cards and going into the payment system, I want to have the Group Guest to have no permissions nor review of that page. I want to have the Guests to see the full front store page and that's all. I don't want to have Guests to get gift cards, they have to sign up for it.

Users are complaining they can't see the "choose files" and as a result can't figure out how to upload. I don't think it's a permissions problem because I can see it if I log in as a regular member. A bug perhaps? Javascript error? ugh.. any ideas? PS, this is with NO extra hooks or mods of any kind installed.

I deleted the default emoticon group in adminCP, because I wanted to replace some emoticons. After deleting it, I cant create new groups. This is what I do: click on 'Add emoticons' > select emoticon > give grp a name (e.g. Other) > press save Nothing happens after pressing save. Can someone pls help me to restore the default group? I think deleting the default group caused some internal error somewhere.
