How do renewals work? If I purchase say a theme at $20 and the renewal is $20 every year (just example numbers)... am I prompted in a year to make that payment? Is it automatically taken out of my PayPal? How do I get "out of" a renewal on something I found didn't work on my site and I no longer wanted to use it or renew?

I'd like to add a single tab on the members profile page with several fields for them to list their interests. So they could write a little bit about themselves, and then fill in sections for their fav movies, tv, music, ect. Right now it seems like each tab can only support 1 instance of the "editor" input type, and so the only way to add them all is to have multiple tabs. It would be nice if you could use all the empty space to let them add more information. Is there any way built in (or a plugin) that allows you to have one tab where users can fill in a bunch of fields of information?

I have administrative tiers on my site. They go: Community Manager Lead Admin Admin Lead Moderator Moderator The manager is the lead admin and owner (me). I am the root admin and first member. I have one lead admin. I copied the admin group (default) and renamed it lead with a few restrictions put on admins to give the lead more power. My group the manager was also a copy. However the lead is unable to edit my posts. He can not quote, edit, or delete my posts. How do I fix that? I checked forum settings and usergroup settings. Nothing says he can't edit my posts. He essentially has every permission I have. Ideas…

How do I make is so the content of the client area settings are shown to the buyer after user check out? My users are having trouble finding out what to do next, and its not very intuitive that they have to go to store/manage purchases, when what they really need is to have the client area setting smacked in their face or redirected to a url after checkout. Am I missing something or is the flow supposed to be this bad?

Hi, I'm just starting to look into SEO optimization possibilities in IPS4 (version 4.1.17.1) and I can't figure out how to set default meta-tags for each and every inner page based on topics and articles' title and content (for meta description) so that they appear in google search results. I've found this topic which describes exactly what I wanna do but unfortunately there's no reply. I can see that's possible because it seems to be set this way on invisionpower forum. When I look into code source I see that. I've seen the same thing on several IPS websites but I don't know how to set it up. Can someone please help me figure this out ? …

In the Listings template, how do I force a custom field to show in its own column, rather than let it sit quietly underneath the Title of the record? A picture might help here I should add, it would be nice for the field's title to appear as the actual permanent title of that column, with the field's changeable content underneath on each row. Is this possible?

It's hard to explain because i don't know what it is called.....but i used to have these little dots next to read/unread topics. They aren't there anymore. They just disappeared. Anyone know where that setting is? Also, in the signatures...they all migrated over fine, but now everything is double spaced and takes up way to much real estate every time someone posts. Anyone know where i can find that setting? FYI the site is http://www.steveMeadeDesigns.com/board if you want to take a look. thanks in advance!
