I've been looking in the them editor on how to change the colour for that top right text, so I can change the background to white, so I can put the forum logo back on ( looks awful on the blue background ). Allthough there are a lot of descriptions, and after actually looking at the manual and discovering the easy editor, I applied a gradient that keeps the forum logo on a white background, and the right top side on the dark blue side of the gradient. Still don't know how to change these white things on the top right though. But I have a workaround for now. Probably it is only accessible in that "designer mode"?

I'm testing upgrading from 3 to 4. Is there a way to keep both the usernames and display names in the upgrade? The username in my version 3 forum were based on a customer number which they use to login but I don't want to loose their real names on a port. I also don't want to display a users customer numbers to the rest of the users.

I must be missing something really obvious. In the past I've seen that it's possible to sell a good at a temporary sale price (for all customers rather than a specific usergroup). From memory, the user still sees the original price but also the new one in red to capture attention. Try as I might, I just can't find this option in Commerce, even though I'm sure I've done it before in an older version. What am I missing?

We are facing a problem with images attached by some users. They are linking to an image / directory which is password protected. Due to this a plain http auth is shown, asking the user for entering his username + password, they are trying to phish some accounts of our community. Is there a way to fix this?

I accidently hit a star to set (change) the default app under the first setting in System / Applications/ System 4.2.7 I hadn't noticed what the previous Default App was. Is there a way to find out what it was or is there a standard setting that it would be set for.

I would like to display the joined date under each post inside the user information box (postContainer). To do so I already modified the code of it: <li class='ipsType_light'> joined: {datetime="$member->joined"} </li> For some reasons this is just returning: joined: January 1, 1970 For each user, the timestamps inside the database are fine, it seems like somehow they are only interpreted wrong? Any idea what goes wrong here?

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to have a complete duplicate of the forum page. Everything would be the exact same, update the same time. The only difference would be running an adsense ad on one, but not the other. Is this possible? Thanks

I'm trying to make my newly translated language as a default on my forum. Problem is that it's always complaining about unsupported locale at the server. I have no idea what & where to set. I'm running the test forum on my Windows 10 machine with US english default locale, running under Apache with PHP 7.2.1 etc. What is the proper locale code for Slovak? sk_SK, sk-SK and others which work elsewhere simply doesn't in IPB 4.2.7. Even when setting en_US in the default English I get the same error. Why I can't see the Set language as default option in my newly translated language? I want the coming customers to see the forum in translated language even when the…
