Hi, I'm having trouble figuring out how to customize the Member Profile pages. My main question is about changing where different sections appear on the page. Eg right now by default, "Community Reputation" and "Followers" appears on the top of a thin column on the left with additional "Personal Info" below it, while "Activity" and "About Me" tabs are wider on the right. How can I remove "Community Reputation" and "Followers" completely, or at least move them lower on the page? If I want to have additional/multiple long-answer areas for members to write stuff about themselves - like the "About Me" tab - is there a way to do that? Sorry for the basic qu…

Has anyone managed to get their users' location to display in the postbit (underneath the avatar)? I'd love to implement this on my forum (4.3.1). If anyone can point me in the right direction in this regard or provide some code I would be extremely grateful. Thanks!

Maybe I am missing something but this is what appears to be happening: A user creates a paid club Another user wants to get into that paid club so they select Join Club The user is then told the club moderator will approve your request the moderator approves the request the user then has to pay for the club How can the process of the club owner/moderator skip this requirement to approve the desire for someone to purchase and just allow them to purchase. Then the flow would be like this: A user creates a paid club Another user want to get into that paid club so they select Join Club That user then purchases and is in the …

Good day and my apologies if I am posting this question in the wrong forum. Prior to upgrading to 4.3, I was using this code in our theme's custom.css to make the profile cover image transparent. #elProfileHeader{ background-color: transparent;} } Since the upgrade, it has stopped working. I contacted the theme's developer and they thought the issue was a missing end brace. I added that, still no luck. I have the option to upload a cover image turned off for all user groups (even Admins). The default cover image is really awful with my site's theme. Is there something else that needs done to make the cover photo (image) go away? If so, could …

Anyone know how can I increase the length of the title of the last post? This is only on the homepage: It seems limited to 26 characters. I don't recall having this problem in 4.2, it's only since I upgraded. How can I make it post the full length?

Hi, How do I change the email settings for following forums? I thought the settings would be under notifications but selecting email under the disable option for following doesn't update the following options. Is there any way I can change the 'one email per day', 'one email per week' options? Ideally I'd like to turn these off for free members. Cheers

How do I get club calendars (of those clubs who have added calendar as a club feature) to the main calendars drop down list? Or am I just not seeing it there because no club has created an event yet?

I would like to set a base standard commission and have the ability to choose a specific commission for a specific club that would not effect the commission rates of the rest of the clubs. How do I do this? When I edit a club it does not allow me to edit the commission rate unless I change it for all clubs.

Hi, we are migrating a large vBulletin 3.8 forum. We had a plugin on there which created a thread, in a hidden moderator's forum, each time a user was banned. This was useful, as it alerted moderators about who was being banned and why. Is there anything like this in IPB 4.3? Thanks

I need to import about 5,000 members into my site. I have the member broken up into multiple csv files based on what products they have purchased from us (on a separate website). I have created paid clubs based on each product so that future customers can purchase access to those clubs (which contain the "products"). I would like to import those members into their respective clubs. First question is can I import members into specific clubs. Second question is if I import the member twice, once as belonging to one club and then again belonging to another club, will this cause any issues and will the member belong to both clubs? Third question is w…

This code is working on many themes, not all but maybe yours. Just change the value of the "px" to adjust your logo and background. @media screen and (max-width:979px) { #elLogo img { max-width: 100%; max-height: 90px; padding: 5px; padding-top: 20px; padding-left: 0px; position: relative; left: 50%; margin-top: 40px; transform: translate(-50%, -50%); } } @media screen and (max-width:979px) { #ipsLayout_header header { max-height: 100px; } }

Does the photo view count on a gallery image count (in red box below) only how many times users have visited that particular image in the gallery on the website, or does it also count when the image shows up in something like a Google search? Thank you :).

I would like to allow my members to input their usernames of other forums into their profile so that other members can find them. For example there is a forum called TSP that a lot of my members belong to. I would like to allow them to put their TSP username into their profile and then other members can see that member is also a TSP member. They can then click on their TSP member name and it will take them to their TSP profile. What is the best way to do this? I am thinking it would be a custom profile field? If so, what settings do I need to setup for that custom profile field to make it so that their username is surrounded by the correct URL to allow that name…

Is there a way to have a closed club that does not require approval for a member to pay to join? I don't want them to see any of the content of the club unless they pay but I also don't want to have to manually approve each person who wants to pay to join the club.
