Hello, I have seen in many forums lately (both in themes and default IPB) that they are able to make it so that the only way to login is through steam. They are able to remove default sign in functions somehow. How can I do this? I have the Steam Sign in currently, but that still allows default sign ins to take place (http://relentless.ipbhost.com) Thanks Mirage

I use Downloads on my site to upload things such as magazines and scans, which can be relatively large. For this reason, I've set a max upload of 17MB. On the other hand, I've got a user who is quite happily uploading full-size images from his phone. I need to restrict the sizes he and others can upload. Is there a way of distinguishing between apps and or user groups? Or am I going to have to reduce the maximum upload for everyone and then go to the trouble of increasing the limit every time I need to exceed it (and hope that nobody else needs to) and then reset it back to the lower one to prevent these people eating up my storage space so needlessly?

I want to remove all members out from a second usergroup. There is only the option to move those members to another group, but this changes the members primary group. So, any other ideas? Thanks.

We often get repeated questions on our forum and wonder if there is a way to show similar topics to mitigate this. What I mean is maybe when a user starts to type a topic title, it shows topics with similar titles which hopefully will avoid them creating another topic the same.

hello, I was sure I saw a Marketplace app somewhere which allows you to change the background for just the header area, i.e. the space in the default theme where you have the logo, Create menu, notifications, messages, user menu etc. Does this ring a bell with anyone? For the life of me I haven't been able to find it in my searches.

Hi, is there a possibility to add menu tab for one subforum so that this tab is active while viewing this specific subforum? I have added a new menu item for subforum as External Link, but when I click on it the menu item "Forum" is as shown active instead. This is a bit confusing. When I click on menu item I expect to have this menu item to be active and not another one. Is there any workaround for tihs? Thanks
