Hello everyone, I've just added an export PDF button to the CK Editor. I don't like the way it works so I would like to remove the installation zip file or any files associated with, not just the icon added to the toolbar. But I can't find a place where I can see all the plugins added/installed to the CK Editor the same way I see the extra plugins/modules installed in ACP. Anyone can tell me how to do this? Thanks in advance

Actual product size is very small, please advise how we can increase the thumbnail for desktop and mobile view. Better if we can control the height and width separately, to try what looks good. https://carnity.com/store/category/8-off-road-driving-course

I am still learning how to move around IPS 4.1.0, my live site will take a few weeks to be deployed. I was wondering if I should install Invision Community 4.5 Beta 4 to continue doing things with it. It seems that version 4.5 has many of the things I need for which I wanted to develop some enhancements. Should I install Beta 4 version and continue developing my new site with it? Or should I wait for the final release? Any estimated time of release for 4.5? Thanks a lot

I noticed Invision Gallery is generating two files - small and large thumbnails - and it displays large thumbnails in the gallery, not the original image. This leads to higher storage since the original image is still kept on the server. Is there any way to prevent large thumbnails from generating and instead Invision just using the original image?

This debate has come up on my site. Some saying that it creates "stressful competition" leading to a "toxic site" Others saying it's a powerful navigation tool. (and by others I mean mostly me) I've had these types of metrics and tools on the site for 12 years. I wonder why only now is it a problem. I am wondering what your thoughts are? do you use the leader board on your site? Do your members like it?

I don't want to "install" I want the old download button back. Is there no option for that now? oh I see there are multiple clicks now in order to download. Feels more difficult that it was. Also I am worried about how this will work for those of us who use downloads app in our communities. I don't want any install button, I sell media!
