This is a great start! Thanks! How would one go about producing smaller record image thumbnails for the older articles in the grid below the full-width latest article? Likewise, what if you want to use a smaller font for the titles in the grid?

Excellent suggestion. :thumbsup: Heck, I've got so many tabs stacking up on the public side, I shorted the public title from "Member Map" to just "Map." Not necessarily related... IP.Board Member Map became the first tab in the ACP for me upon installation. Is there a way to move the tabs around? I'm loving the Member Map, but it certainly doesn't need to be first, as it's pretty much set it and forget it.

Matt is busy writing the documentation... so as to not tick off Tom Whiting. :P

Who said anything about 10 different pages? We're talking about two pages — "Terms of Service" and "Privacy Policy" — two pages that should be standard on every website. I'm trying to find ways not to use CCS, though, since I'm not quite ready to move my forums out of the root (as discussed in my support ticket). And while I do have CCS, I don't think it would be fair to require others to purchase it just so that they can add a couple of pages that should already be included as standard. I'm not crazy about having "> Pages >" as part of the breadcrumb trail. I'm just going to add some more db entries to core_sys_conf_settings and replicate/edit boardrules.php so that I also have a terms.php and a privacy.php in /admin/applications/forums/modules_public/extras/.

That's not a bad idea, and certainly an easy fix, but it doesn't have a polished/professional look to it. If you use the Help system, for example, you can link directly to a particular article, but it's going to end up with some large type at the top saying: Help Topic: Privacy Policy and a breadcrumb trail of: Invision Power Services > Help Topics > Help Topic I'd much rather have it duplicate the "Forum Rules" look with: Privacy Policy and a breadcrumb trail of: Invision Power Services > Privacy Policy

I can't speak for Kfir, as he/she may have a different purpose in mind, but I can tell you that most advertisers will not approve your site if you do not have a stated "Privacy Policy." I was going to use CCS to throw together "Terms of Service" and "Privacy Policy" pages... but now I'm thinking I'd rather create a mod that adds a couple of 'app=forums&module=extras&section=' links (to somewhere on the bottom of the page) as I stated above. It would be better, however, if this was already built in to IP.Board.

I have commented on this before. It would be nice if IP.Board had provisions for both a "Terms of Use" page and a "Privacy Policy" page

Screenshots are unnecessary. Click on all of your tabs for Forums, Members, Calendar, Blogs, Downloads, and Gallery, and you will see titles at the top of your browser window that look exactly as I have posted here. Correct.

[Originally posted in the Tracker as Report ID #17217: Page Title Inconsistency. Re-posted here as suggested by bfarber.] There is an inconsistency in the way page titles are handled for the various applications. When I choose the Blogs tab for my site, the title at the top of the page reads: MySiteName Forums -> Community Blog List Likewise, if I choose the Gallery tab, the title at the top of the page reads: MySiteName Forums -> Gallery However, if I click on the Downloads tab, the title is simply: Download Manager Wouldn't it make more sense if it were consistent with the others? MySiteName Forums -> Downloads I am posting this under [the Tracker for] IP.Download Manager, but perhaps it really belongs under IP.Board, as the page titles for the Calendar and Member List aren't exactly consistent either. Calendar loses the '->': MySiteName Forums Calendar And Member List looks exactly like Downloads does by losing the forum name: Member List Things are definitely not consistent from one application to the next. Personally, I think the titles look better without the '->' stuck in there, like was done for the Calendar. Assuming you may not consider this problem worthy of fixing, can you point me to where I would go in the code or templates to override the current titles?

Since it's already done, and you don't need to do it again, wouldn't it be "more pleasing to the eye" to just eliminate the entire block? Why bother with all the crossed out text with "Already done!" in displeasing red?

Use an e-mail forwarder provided by your host. Set outgoing e-mails to be addressed to 'admin@yoursite' and then include the addresses of the other admins in the forwarder.

When I do that my Portal/landing page becomes unavailable with the standard pink IPB error message. I did this before adding the template changes, though. Do I now assume those edits were absolutely necessary? I was trying to do some quick playing around without editing the templates.

That's a bit extreme. How would I remove the 'Portal' tab while leaving all of the other tabs in place?

^ Gonna give that a shot... Can you clarify what you mean by this? Where would I do this?

I kinda' like this and have set it to 'On.' I'm not sure it entirely solves the problem for websites that are using the Portal as their landing page, though. Let's say, for example, that I want my landing page to have a title like this: Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs, and more I would have to enter that as the 'IPB Portal Page Title' in order to get it to work. Which means my breadcrumb trail -- even with 'Remove default forums navigation' set to 'On' -- is going to be an exact duplicate of that mouthful. I think what we really need are some extra controls for when Portal is the default app and being used as the website's landing page. In the mean time, does anyone have some magical 'If' statements? And something that will allow me to move the darned 'Portal' tab all the way over to the left? Or, better yet, remove the tab altogether, since the Portal is actually being used as the Homepage/landing page?
