Hello, I wanted to ask on the Picabay integration. When generating the API, I am being requested to 'give credits to Pixabay with a link whenever search results are displayed' I haven't found any link in the image search results, and wanted to make sure it's been integrated the right way. Thank you for any advice.

Hello, Can I pls ask how to control height of the main header? I would need to have it shorter, to just 'frame' the text, to avoid wasting of space. I am struggling to find it in the Theme editor. It appears the background has different height on each of my 5 websites after upgrading to 4.5 beta 2. Thank you.

What is up with the reputation system in 4.4? I see a rep counter in the post bit and rep action in the profile but I don't have any buttons in a post to give rep other than the reaction emoji's? Am I missing something or is this how it is?

Hi guys, Newbie here, sorry if this is really obvious. How can you track which posts a member has been interacting with? We wanted to check if students who aren't saying anything, are actually interacting with the community e.g. by reading posts. But I can't find a way to easily track activity on the forum. Any suggestions?

I want to create a custom profile field that Admin can upload an image to selected members. I was able to do this with no issues, but when I click the toggle to NOT allow members to edit the field, then I, as an Admin, am not able to edit the field anymore! Am I missing something here? Another permission somewhere? Or do I have to flip the switch to allow editing everytime I want to add an image to a member's profile?

Hello everyone, I have the Pages module and I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers on how to build a Page similar to IP Board Guides. I just want to have a two pages template, on the left side I want to have a list of articles and categories. When one of them is clicked, the right column will be updated with the content. I have been playing with the Pages module but I can't see how to accomplish that with the existing modules. Does this kind of Page require special coding or programming skills? I guess it requires the creation of a Database with the articles, is there anyone that can give me some pointers on how to do it? Or someone that woul…

So, I just converted over to IPB from MyBB with over 7000 members. On MyBB I had a plugin that offered members to upload an attachment to a post or PM using ImgBB photo hosting so the attachment never hit their allowed allowance. IPB doesn't seem to have this so I need to figure out how much allowance to give members so they can freely upload but I don't want to kill my server either! I do have several paid member levels that offer more upload space and PM storage as perks so I need to make the allowances higher in increments for the user levels. What are some of you guys using for attachment allowances? Also, I did find this plugin from imgBB that says it wo…

In our site, we have renamed decline to manage as we can differentiate from members joining vs managing the event. During the process (I think) we have hidden MAYBE tab (somehow). Appreciate if someone can help in unhiding that MAYBE tab as we need to rename that tab to WAITLIST now Hope this MAYBE (Or WAITLIST) still functions once RSVP hits the ceiling, as that's the whole idea to record the waitlist once drives are full.

Like, if I wanted the first 1,000 people who joint and post to be called "Founding Members" and have that appear under their name, how would I do it? I assume I create a new group and then somehow add them to the group? Is there a way to automatically assign the first X number of signups to the group? I realize these are probably a dumb/obvious questions... but I really have no idea what I'm doing. Here is the site: https://www.recruitinginfo.com/ I've populated it with a decent amount of content (videos mostly), and now I want to start to draw people in.

It's better for website loading if I can put multiple images in 1 single directory. At this moment the "wordpress style" file storage (as I call it) is used. So I can change from for example /upload to /images or whatever I want to store, but in that directory IPS will still create Monthly directory's. Which is just what I don't want for certain things. Isn't it possible to disable the creation of this Monthly directory's somehow so I get certain things just together in 1 directory like I want?
