thank you. This custom formatting works much better than the default under Field/Custom Topic Formatting (for the dark style ) {$title}: <span style="color: white;">{$content}</span>

yes, i see that now after i turn on the Permissions on Articles. We can Rate the article in the article post and/or add a Review (which is a comment that includes a star rating system, which i assume would add to the star rating within the original article post). the details are missing from the help docs on a lot of things, though i understand that there's a great deal to cover.

this is the current block of code:

The line break after profile fields in short posts causes too much vertical empty space. I suggest removing the break on simple field data like the STATE field example on the right. Until that's changed, could someone tell me how to make that adjustment happen by inserting code into a template or inserting custom css (in V5 Beta 8)?

Please define "Reviews." Using search here reveals no reference to "Reviews" in the documentation. Do you mean star ratings or just comment fields categorized as reviews?

For privacy considerations, I'd like to be able to set a group permission to view custom profile fields. Then I could set up a Promotion to that group.

It would be too tedious for a Club leader/mod/admin to manually approve large numbers of club members. I suggest that members can be Promoted to a Club based on custom fields and criteria.

Clarification please. The system/settings/posting & editor/content section has a setting for "Reviews" that applies to what? Pages and Articles but not forums? I wanted to allow members to create posts in forums for movies and music that could be discussed, reviewed, and rated. Now, aside from polls, which tool would work for that purpose?

indeed, when I search this ipb forum the results are useless. I use google search for ipb questions, and better yet, a.i. but a.i. can occasionally be wrong.

It would be too tedious for a Club leader/mod/admin to manually approve large numbers of club members. If there is no automatic way, should I suggest that in the requests forum?

that's exactly what i needed. Thank you. I'll implement this for all 50 states. Can you tell me, can an automated State membership be initiated for a Club, and if so, would you recommend using a Forum or Club feature for this?

In v5 beta6, Is there a way to set a custom profile field as the automated criteria/permission for access to a forum? For example, if a member selects AZ from a custom profile field called State, can an AZ Forum and/or Club be set to only allow members from AZ to have access?

i believe the email account association is straightened out now. regarding the error, after i created a new custom profile field, my admin section support area showed a Mariadb error that might be related to the prior error: ALTER TABLE `core_pfields_content` ADD COLUMN `field_1` MEDIUMTEXT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NULL ; It was "automatically fixed." Are there any know compatibility issues with MariaDB vs MySQL?

I corrected the error/problem by deleting the new profile field I had added, but I suppose the problem could arise again.

After adding a new member and a registration profile field and deleting them both in beta 6, when I try to sign-up a new member it generates Error code EX1064. Clearing cache doesn't help.
