I would like to give people a familiar feeling of being on their facebook homepage. The most similar thing I can think of is the users profile. Is there a way to set the users profile as the default home page for logged in users and clubs or something else as the default homepage for non-logged in users?

So, I recently purchased IP Board and I've worked with IPBoard before, and I have never had this problem before. As you can see, the body of the bulk mail is not showing, and it just has the "Drag Files here ..." bar and the "Tags" sidebar, which is squished. If I refresh the page, I can see the body and text editor for a split second and then it resets back to this (see picture above). Any suggestions would be gladly appreciated.

For the life of me, I cannot find where I can set members to be able to delete their own images and comments. The only settings I have under the Gallery tab when I go to group options are these: If someone can offer me guidance on where I can find the settings that allow members to delete their own images at least, I'd appreciate it.

I am thinking or purchasing the Pages app but I want to make sure it is actually what I need. How easy would it be to create a portal (same as the original portal app) showing the latest news items from the forums I select to include images on the front page? (landing page) See below: Could I also have widgets still down the side etc? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have ideas on how to be able to use more of the club interior space - where the topics are listed? Is there a hack or anything that allows me to do some of the things that I can do with a regular page or like with using @opentype's page templates? I like the idea of the club, but the layout is mostly inflexible AND whatever I put in the sidebar from one club is int he sidebar for all clubs. How can I get more flexibility to really focus in on the club topic by adding multiple blocks? Need more opportunity to personalize the club. Thanks, Brad TheBullsPen.com

I was wondering if there is a group of settings that prevent guests or certain groups from viewing profiles? We're attempting to create a very closed community without fear where people could be doxxed and when it comes to profiles hiding options seem lacking.

Hello, I would like to automatically let the user know, that he was added to a group. How can I do it? In another engine I used to create a global announcement which only the members of a defined group could see and it was possible to allow the user to close this announcement. So when I manually made a user a member of this group, he could read the announcement and close it to not see it anymore at all – that was perfect. I don't think it is possible to do so in 4.2.7, is it?

Hello, I've been cleaning up my usergroups and noticed that quite a few were wrong. My lowest group is "member" and certain users are also allowed in a hidden part of the forum, specfic to "Full member" the full member has access to everything a standard one does, so i dont see any need for them to be in both groups. Over the last year or so, my admins have promoted these members as so; Primary group - Member Secondary group - Full member And vice versa. We have badges for these groups so you can imagine it looked a bit messy, so my cleanup was to put "Full member" as primary for all applicable users. It does however seem that de selecting a …

Hi! My mobile site collapses the menu. I want these menu links to be visible to the user and not on a drop-down. Is there any way I can do this? What about having a custom block for a mobile home page with links? Or maybe put links on mobile with something like this: <html> <head> <style> @media (min-width: 600px) { a { display: none; } } </style> <body> <a href="https://google.com">This Is My Navigation Link</a> </body> </html> Please help!

I let user select secondary user groups during sign up, but this stretches the sign up popup quite a bit. Is there a good/easy way to style that section, e.g. enable to have two rows or something like that? Likely only through editing the theme templates, I guess?
