I'm trying to style a few Pages elements with custom css, but I can't figure out where to put it. Of course I could place it in custom.css, but then it would load in the whole suite when I only need it in Pages.

I have been looking at my settings for sitemap and just wondering if there is supposed to be a sitemap created for the individual records for my database. The database contains blog articles. I am wondering if it is supposed to create sitemap entries for the hundreds of blog articles or is it just pointing to the one page?

I am starting to have many emails from members asking me to change their Display Name as they can t find it in their Edit Profile I think the current location of the Display name functionality is not intuitive Could you add an option in the Edit profile to edit the display name It would be more user friendly to see it on top of the Edit Profile model window instead of hidden in the Account Settings

I have tried telling my users not to post certain images as it messes with the board layout im just wondering if this can be fixed? They insist on using for example this kind of link and embedding it as an image. https://twitter.com/ozchrisrock/status/593231136974839808/photo/1 <--- this type of link causes the image to leave the post container. when it should be https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CDuUk0BVEAA9j68.jpg so i need to either know how to disable adding the above type of link or a way to fix the issue.

Hi, I have received a notification from Google that smartphone users might not be able to access my content at all, and Google might not be able to show my pages in search results. This is because Googlebot for smartphones encountered a sudden jump in the number of blocked URLs for this site. Most of the links are with "tags" or "user" in the path, for instance: forum/tags/forums/repack forum/user/34941-luisk1193/ forum/tags/forums/chipset/ I have more than 700 reported pages that have this issues. Googlebot can normally fetch all of this pages in "Desktop" mode, but not in Mobile:Smartphone mode. I have done everything posted here: https://www.invisionpower.com/support/k…

I am new to IPB in general but do have some knowledge of HTML and CSS. I'd like to change the way records are shown on my pages, but I feel kind of lost when it comes to templates for blocks, pages and databases. Could someone point me in the right direction where to start when it comes to editing the layout of a page? @Ralf H. managed to turn his frontpage into something beautiful, especially the way featured images are shown (http://typography.guru/). I'd like to create something similar. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Oh, I don't want to lose any changes I have made once a patch or update comes out. Would this be the case when Im creating new templ…

Wow, the one feature that seems to be hitting me a lot from my users is the 3.x feature that remembered where people left off reading a thread. Is this a setting that I missed or is it just not there? People are really irate that it is not remember that last post that they read and that they spend more time looking for it. Now some just don't bother and that is loosing page views, time on site, etc.

How can we make it so there isn't a grey outline around every posted image? Like this: It's not too bad in a forum, but when using the WYSIWYG widgets in Pages it inserts all of these grey outlines into the page you're trying to design. If someone uses Pages as their main app and uses it for creating a home page -- then the grey outlines wouldn't be desirable.

It all seems really straightforward. I keep getting this error. Tried re-adding the PM several times. 4.0.2 - Cloud Hosting ---------- There are no available payment methods. This can happen if, for example, you have two products that are set to only be able to be paid for by two different payment methods and you try to purchase them together. Or, if you restrict payment methods to only be available to certain countries and there are no payment methods available for this billing address. Error code: 4X196/3
