I had one large group of emoticons and of course users could not find beyond the first 21. So I created a new group and moved "extra" ones to that group. Now somehow the extra group is first in list in ACP and to users. I can't find a way to change the order of categories. What am I missing?

Hello, is it possible to change permissions (such as the maximum allowed reputation to give every day) for multiple groups at once? I am running a forum with 20 groups and it's super annoying to change the default settings to something which makes more sense for my case for all the groups one by one.

Is it possible to disable the guest access to poll results? I have an ongoing poll, where I don't want the users to view results until they vote, but I see that guests can view the results regardless. This makes the settings that viewing result disables voting kinda pointless as everyone can start an incognito window and see the results before voting. Is there any way to remove access to poll data for guests?

I'm trying to duplicate the Articles system to use as a travel guide. I've been successful so far. But in Admin CP ==> Pages ==> Databases => (My Database), it is showing this warning: You have 24 categories in this database. You can only have 1 category to store records in the database directly. Here's a screenshot... can someone please tell me what this means?

I have a question. Our old community leader was charging our community for an App he said he got that was for IPB DDOS Protection. I've never seen the app, I assumed he just didn't give me permission to see it in the ACP, so I am wondering do you know if such an app or anything ever existed in the IPB marketplace before? I've searched and couldn't find anything so I'm wondering now if the person had lied to us just to make money...

I'm having issues installing the Tabletools CKEditor plugin. Has anyone worked out why it wouldn't be working on IPB? My members are looking for ways to add tables to pages and the default Table plugin has very limited functionality. Unfortunately I can't get a nice working solution right now.

Hi! When i paid 75$ for the downloads i was really expecting "the faeces" after seeing what IPB has accomplished with the Forum. But man was i wrong, i'm missing out a ton of stuff that i can't find elsewhere in the marketplace either. Ìt do seems like a good start for a file library, but did not have as much time put into it's development as for example the forum? # Category handling My first problem that i was able to solve was the category listing, i managed to install a plugin called "Files subcategories" so that i can use the "main category" as sort of a place holder kind of like the "Category" option for the forum works. I don't know why this isn't …

Hi! Is it possible to have my "Main" category just for creating sub-categories in? For example if i have a file library for game content i want something like Grand theft auto IV --- Cars --- Busses --- Trucks Grand theft auto V --- Cars --- Busses --- Trucks But i don't want to use the main category to be able to upload files to, only the sub-categories? Is it possible to arrange such a setup? :-)

I'm not seeing an option to proceed to checkout or a cart in MOBILE view after placing an item into a cart, but instead of proceeding directly to checkout, continuing shopping. Is there a setting somewhere or other way I can add this?

I wish the quote was limited (i.e. to the first 140 characters) and that they were eliminated movies and photos to have a more elegant appearance of the threads. How do you accomplish this? If it is necessary to make a plugin I'm willing to be a sponsor. Many thanks to those who will respond to me.

I've just had an SSL certificate applied to my site (thanks Rhett and co!) and have since been scrambling to at least improve the front page of the site to show as fully secure. One of the things I've come across are schema.org links being served over http and was wondering if that's to do with the core or something else? I assume it is to do with the core, since when testing on the default theme they are still there and would assume that something used for breadcrumbs does not come from a third-party source. If I'm correct, is there any way I can use the ACP to serve these links over https or should they already be doing this (and thus I need to open a ticket)? …

Hello, I have a problem with a group of 10 members who are probably co-workers or known to each other who are trying (for the past 1 1/2 year ! ) to deliberately cause trouble (and doing it for fun) our forum is a parents forum so its really absurd why, or who, or how they find the time.(!) Anyhow, i would like to create a usergroup to put them in where they will have absolute minimum ability to either rate, like, post , comment, etc. Do you perhaps have experience with how to handle (technically with the features of ips 4.1 i mean) this kind of members? i have first of all closed all new member comments for approv…
