I created a few forums to add to a Club, and they are showing up in navigation only in the order they were activated or created. Is there a way to change the order of the navigation tabs for Clubs?

Currently, it looks like this (MM/DD/YY): But I want to change that to DD/MM/YY. I tried translating the language but it didn't work. I don't know if I translated the correct parts. I changed _date_last_year_short and _date_this_year_short to look like this {0#} {!1#[1:Jan][2:Feb][3:Mar][4:Apr][5:May][6:Jun][7:Jul][8:Aug][9:Sep][10:Oct][11:Nov][12:Dec]}, but it's not working.

I wanted to put several banners from different advertisers in the site sidebar vertically, one upon the other. But when I'm using Advertisement tool, I can get only one at a time visible to that place, even I would have more of them activated. What am I missing here, or can there only be one ad in each place? Any kind of a detour to get more of them visible easily? BW Kimmo

Hello, i have tried to search the forum in order to find answers to my questions, but didn't found any useful stuff, so i think it's better to write a new topic and explain all of my needs (Excuse, if everything would have been easily found in the forum. I couldn't find it) I have already purchased the forum and want to sell several things that are related to certain the forum areas on one hand (subscription) and are only based on the "type" (group) of members on the other hand. These are the offers, that i want to sell: First, there is offered a subscription for Non-Members. No other subscription / offer should be seen here for Non-Members. When someon…

Is there a standard way in the settings of 4.2 to increase the height of the Photo in the Club Header for all clubs? Same question for all Blogs and all Personal Profiles? We had used some custom CSS in the past for blogs; but, it created a whole other stream of design problems. So, we were hoping for a standard way in 4.2. If not, is there no standard way because it does have that ripple effect on so many other design features? If that is the case, I'm fine with that and will keep it standard. I'm not looking for a way to hack it. It would just be a nice option to be able to set that height in the admin settings. Lastly, is there a place we should be posti…

Hi, I’m trying to make email subject lines include topic titles when a new mention is made, but they just fail to work (no email is sent at all). The way I did it is was by inserting this line in "Languages" instead of the default one for mailsub__core_notification_mention: Moreover, when I try to replace the default one for mailsub__core_notification_new_comment (which is precisely “{$comment->item()->mapped("title")|raw}”) to “Re: {$comment->item()->mapped("title")|raw}” (with just the addition of "Re: "), it stops working, too (no emails sent). What am I doing wrong?

I have create a Club and invited another member but this member can't access the topic tab; Sorry, there is a problem We could not locate the item you are trying to view. Error code: 2F176/1 I, as owner can see it so I guess there is something with the permissions but can't find a setting for it?

No forums are checked so what topics am I seeing? I am loving the fluid forum options but some of the basic navigation and implementation is confusing to me. In addition to the absence of "select all" or "unselect all" there is weird behavior when unchecking everything. I still get topics.. I am confused. I would expect to see something like "No Topics. Please select at least one category from the right in order to see some topics." Although that wouldn't be very good either. Maybe the idea is that if you don't select anything to limit it down, you then get everything? but it just seemed weird to me at first. New users might not right away know that those c…
