    Thing is you can take out ranks and pips and with my theme adjust the size of the profile picture and width of profile area. The reference I was making is you can make the width of the profile area to go into the text area to make it smaller. 
    I also wouldn't say people are stupid either. In todays world like I said it's all about me, me, me. If that's what people want, I give it to them, if it's not what they want, I make it adjustable 🙂 
    Also as I said above, most of the people who use my themes like it like you see it. Whether they post a word, 5 lines or 20, it's about them. 
    If you looked also you'd notice the only thing that's been enlarged in that screenshot is the profile picture. Everything else has stock IPB css as far as spacing goes. I just wrap around it. Pretty simple, you don't want a large post profile photo, adjust it. But I can guarantee most people want the full size post profile photo instead of something they can barely see.
    I've also never had a complaint about that area or the adjustability of it, most end users don't live in 1990 with everything smashed together.

    I did the same thing. People like to show off, they want their data out there (especially in the case of my site which is a site for other sites to list at). I have badges for people to show off their nerdy pride (like which type of Bender they are, which GoT House they are, which Hogwarts house they are a part of etc).
    I'm working on my 4.5 version of my site and I am likely moving this away from being a sidebar into being a header of author information instead.
    But as @DesignzShop said it really depends on the community.

    Your personal preference may be getting in the way of what your community really thinks. As an example I redone my themes post profiles and even made them larger in accordance to where they were. One of the biggest compliments and most feedback I've gotten is how the post profiles stand out.
    Most users now days are all about the me, me, me thing. Take social media for example. Facebook, Twitter etc... are all about highlighting one person as a general rule. I'm not referring to businesses here, just an individual account. They want to be seen, they want to have their posts, tweets, counts, likes, etc.. out there for everyone to see. Again, it's all about me, me, me.. 
    From my past feedback, users wanted full post profile pictures, highlighted post counts, wider post profile to take up more blank space in the post. By making the profile wider I removed some of the posting area and made each post more about the user than ever before. This may not be for everyone, but like I said, it's been a pretty big hit from the feedback I've gotten.
    Of course not every individual may not like one approach but in general, but what I've done has far outweighed the no compliments to a bland, stripped down user post profile.
    Another issue I've seen also in the past is admins / people who are more code conscious tend to want things stripped down. Most end users however want to see more, especially if it's about them.

    Morrigan reacted to opentype in How to Shut Off Admin Upgrade Notice?   
    That isn’t logically sound. The entire point of a beta program is to have the external testers to spot potential problems with their usage. If no one participates (as this is supposedly the “smart” thing to to do), then the beta program wouldn’t reveal any problems and nothing could “stabilize”. So questioning people’s participation, which is the very thing that leads to the stabilization, is kind of weird.

    Morrigan got a reaction from The Old Man in How can you gift a member a subscription?   
    Oh! I thought you meant for someone else to purchase a subscription for someone else.
    To give people subscriptions go into your Admin panel and create an invoice. Mark it as already paid so they don't have to pay for it. When the subscription runs out it will ask that they renew to keep it up.

    You can copy the group and then just remove the permissions from the standard member group. Do a group promotion to the new group as a secondary group to give them the access.
    And no, you need to do it with a group.

    Morrigan, thank you for help.
    Everything is working fine now.
    I added full path "/home/{username}/web/{sitename}/public_html/uploads2" instead of relative path "/uploads2"  and migrator correctly moved all attachments.

    Morrigan got a reaction from Adriano Faria in Sort Saved Actions   
    I've been a proponent for a while that saved actions needs an overhaul in general. It needs to be removed as JUST a forum item as saved actions could be applied to any IPS suite item. That or each suite item needs saved actions of their own.
    As for sorting! Abso-fing-lutely. I'd put mine in "most used" to "not used often" order which would help any staff member.

    Morrigan got a reaction from Aiwa in Lack of automation: Plans to add it to Invision Community?   
    I've used the rules app. It was garbage to begin with and was HELL on most communities especially during upgrades. Not to mention other things that affected that mod author which only some of my dear friends know about.
    While I do want and appreciate automation, I don't want the rules app to influence such a decision. It was a garbage app that.... nm.
    I do know that IPS has been adding more automated things and they have said that some things will be more automated so instead of asking for a garbage app to be implemented into core why don't you provide things that you would like to have be an automated thing? Things that you would like to see implemented either as a setting something you can configure.

    Morrigan reacted to bfarber in Able to set another tab in profile as default   
    "their" in English is taken to mean "belonging to them". As we do not know the gender of the user, we can't say "his" (as in belonging to him) or "her" (belonging to her), so "their" is an acceptable gender-neutral solution.
    But, as you use a translation that adjusts the verbiage anyways, I'm not sure why this matters.

    Morrigan got a reaction from Clover13 in Child Theme Inheritance   
    Unfortunately, the Child themes only inherit the parent theme's "edit" changes/colors on the initial creation of the theme. There is no way to force the inheritance in that section.

    Morrigan got a reaction from AA15 in How to hide unused widgets in block manager?   
    You have to enspect and use the custom.css but you would do something like this:
    [data-blockid="app_core_newsletter"] { display: none; } Note that this SHOULD only affect it in the sidebar block manager but I haven't tested it. You have to get the IDs yourself and do this manually though.

    Morrigan got a reaction from 13. in Ability to multi-quote selected text   
    No, do it similar to the way you multiquote full posts. When the "Quote selection" popup comes up have a "plus sign" that quotes that text.
    The biggest flaw I'm finding with the "select text" bit of quoting is that, if you have a few posts that you want to quote specific text from spans multiple pages the only way to do it is to multi-quote then to cute the quote down to the specific text (or texts) that you actually wanted to quote which is tedious at best.
