Version 3 had a whole section under /index.php?app=core&module=help that had a great help guide for members to reference. This is an essential need for members. I hope it wasn't removed. Does this still exist under version 4, and where? If not, is it going to return?

(Just a disclaimer - I'm not much good with technology, so if things are obvious, I apologise in advance) I have an idea of how I want my forums to look, but I can't figure out a way to do it. I'd really like to be able to have the "Critiques" forum on its own page, without showing up in the main stream on the front page, and I'd like to know how to do that for other things in future. Is there a way I can do that? I figured out how to get that tab up there, but when I click it, it does nothing. I need it to lead to a new page that contains ONLY the "Critiques" section, none of the others. Thanks!

I am looking for more information about which files are most popular on our site. Therefore, I am hoping to see reports showing which files have been downloaded for a given date range. This information is not available in the Admin CP under Statistics > Downloads. Anyone know where I can find this?

The right-hand column looks cluttery and confusing to me. It needs more visual distinction to work, maybe a colored background. Can I turn it off? Is it configurable? What are the configuration options?

Hi there, read alot about migration but iam still unsure how to handle this: I bought a new 4.1.15 license. Got a punBB 1.3.4 database. I was thinking that i could just import users, posts and topics to my IPS 4.1.15 without using the expensive migration service by using the free migration tool. Seems that it doesent support punBB 1.3.4... IPB 3.4.7 did - what i do not understand... what am i supposed to do? My first thought was that i could download my old licenced Version of IPB 3.4.7 to import users, posts and topics and update the software later but they even dont offer the download anymore... instead i get forced to buy the renewal. I am pretty dissapointed…

I like how THIS forum (InvisionPower) is laid out in a Traditional List - but also the categories can collapse and expand, and the topics within each category are listed each on their own separate line. My forum is setup in Traditional List view with categories, but my topics are not on individual lines, they are listed all together separated with commas.... and categories are not collapsible. How can I set mine up like this one?

I am using ipsGrid to present a 3 x wide grid layout and want to shade each grid but have a clear (not white) border so that each grid item is separated by the theme background colour/image. I seem to have vertical splits looking fine but it's not splitting on the horizontal. So, it looks like 3 really long singular columns atm. I am using the following code: <div class='ipsGrid ipsGrid_collapsePhone'> {{foreach $rows as $row}} <div class='ipsGrid_span4' style='border:2px #f0f0f5; background: #f0f0f5;'> [some stuff] </div> </div> I thought that padding was what I needed to use but it doesn't give me the desired result, inste…

Hello, I was wondering if it's possible, and if so how to set a Forums category's default visibility (e.g., collapsed or expanded). So for example if I wanted my Forums splash page to have forums visible for a General Discussion category, but to have other, more specialized categories collapsed (ghosted out) by default in order to conserve space on the splash page...would that be possible?

I recently moved my site from vb3 to IPB4 and all seems to be working well. VBSEO urls for topics are redirecting properly. Does anyone know how I could redirect member profile page urls to the new IPB url or rewrite it in FURL settings? my urls are like this: OLD: http://www.sitename.com/membername NEW: http://www.sitename.com/profile/####-membername/ I either need to redirect or make the IPB urls same as old via htaccess or FURL settings. In FURL settings, I don't see where I can use Display name and since there is no ID in the old url, I'm not sure if I can achieve this.

In IPS4 is there a way to assign a moderator/curator for specific files/downloads sections? I have members that specialize in areas and take care, or curate, separate areas on my site. In IPS 3 I was able to assign a user to a download/file category and they were able to moderate, approve, upload, edit the sections they had access for. I can't seem to find this option in IPS4. Is there a way to assign a assign a user moderate/curate a download/file category? Also, can moderators not EDIT or upload new versions of files/downloads?
