Hi, I'm working on a converted vBulletin Forum. I have quite few users that are (paying) "Club Members", but are not in the secondary group "Members" as well. Is there any simple way to find all members of "Club Members" and give them the secondary group "Members" as well?

Hi, On my forum there is lots of similar content because members are posting similar topics They are asking the community about a similar request, so they get similar responses. Google doesn't like similar content or duplicate content. It could be about the title or the content itself, or both Here is an advice about this on google support : Minimize similar content: If you have many pages that are similar, consider expanding each page or consolidating the pages into one. For instance, if you have a travel site with separate pages for two cities, but the same information on both pages, you could either merge the pages into one page about both citie…

I had my avatars at 150px on my 3.4 board. I did a conversion and I saw that on the new board they were reduced to 90px. Changing them back to 150 has made them pretty blurry. Is there anyway to solve this becides asking all my members to change their profile pics again?

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…

Hi! I was wondering if it is possible to postpone posting, like the lock/unlock functionality you have today. The purpose is to make a post, that is published later. (So I guess, hide / unhide) - Asgeir

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?
