    Exclude group option? Include groups option?
  2. Thanks for that! Seems the reviewers are napping on us. 😞
  3. Any ETA on an update for 4.6?
  4. Needs an update for 4.6. Throws a template error for support tab
  5. Thanks for that. You wouldn't mind DMing the change while it gets approved would you? If not I'll wait. Ah, I figured it out. Needed to add !important to width. Thanks for the help!
  6. I installed it this morning. I do see I have version 1.0.0 installed and reinstalling just installs 1.0.0 again. I tried checking for updates and the ACP isn't showing any.
  7. Mobile view is still borked for me. All of the entries are squished together.

    Ever since the achievement update, my replies to private messages here are not showing up. If I look at the conversation in my inbox I see my reply, but when I click on it none of my replies show up.
  9. @modman Remove the underscores from your Language abbreviations. it_IT => IT and en_US => US

    You can change the font-family to use newer or older versions of font awesome 😛

    Add this to your custom.css replacing forumid with the ID of the category, and content with the unicode value of the icon you want. You can find the ID by hovering over the link: [data-forumid="12"] .fa-comments:before { content: "\f3ed"; font-family: 'FONT AWESOME 5 FREE'; } ^ Copy and paste the block per category replacing the forumid @Makoto's plugin will make this a lot simpler if you're willing to spend the $15 for it, which honestly isn't that bad.
  12. @Paul E. Not to be rude, but your replies are so out of touch from what's actually being said here. No one is calling for these systems to be removed, but to be improved and made more clear to end-users before they make a purchase. I have no issue with authors requiring 1 copy per website, it's more so the fact that the author's do not seem to have a choice in the matter anymore. If IPB enforces this, a lot of us will jump ship. We aren't boycotting, we're just expressing our opinion.
  13. @Noble~ I agree. However, as long as the author has the option not to charge per site, this should be fine. Those of us who refuse to do so will look elsewhere for the same thing, and that is enough encouragement for most not to enforce something like this. I'm fine with renewals also. I'm not fine with the lack of warning users get when purchasing a file with a renewal. Like most software, renewals are typically for future updates, not to be able to access the content you already have licensed. Since you already added the warning to buy a copy per site, you should also include a warning about renewals and make it clear that the user must pay the renewal before they can access the file again in the future once it expires. I had to pay a renewal on a file that hasn't been updated in over 2 years just to be able to reinstall the version I already paid for. The renewal was almost the same price as the file. What did I pay for exactly? Not trying to jump down that rabbit hole but this is very annoying to have to deal with.
  14. Sorry, but what? Clearly the comment you quote states I prefer having plugins made privately so I can use them however and wherever. Kind of the whole point of private work is it not? lol Pretty much exactly what I said just worded differently. Not sure how long you've been around but very few developers enforce this and I can only imagine because of the lack of sales from doing so. Enforcing something like this is not good for business because a lot of us here run multiple sites and it just doesn't make sense paying that much for something that we cannot modify or keep a copy of for that matter.
  15. If you download any file that supports 4.4 and later, it will prompt you with: I find it a bit odd that you have this message, which implies you have to purchase a new copy for each installation, when you just stated it's up to the author. Seems to me this is something that will be enforced regardless in the near future with the new very-restrictive built-in marketplace. Me personally, I run too many sites to make paying for multiple copies logical. It's cheaper to have it done privately so I can use it however, wherever, and only have to pay for updates when I need to. Not to mention I can keep a copy handy so I don't have to pay a ransom to download the same thing again should I ever need to do a reinstall. Though, I do hope I'm wrong in my assumptions.
  16. App not working in 4.5
  17. Daddy replied to SEO Guru's post in a topic in Marketplace
    I'd recommend removing the online user's widget and restricting access to the online page, assuming this is why you want to spoof it, as not to give new users the impression your site is dead. Having fake users does nothing but discredit your community. It's very obvious as well, no matter how hard you try to hide it. Being the SEO Guru you are, you should know having relative headers and tags will increase the click-through rate from search engines. You should also try and get as many authentic backlinks as possible to improve your site's reputation, so it ranks higher in search results. Since you're already willing to drop some cash, invest in a few google ad campaigns, and bid on some keywords to increase traffic. If the topic of your website is too vague, focus on something very specific so your ad ranking is as high as possible. So if your site is about apples and oranges, focus on apples and worry about oranges later. If you'd prefer the plugin anyways then by all means. I'm not here to judge, just sharing my wisdom. 🙂
  18. How do you make the determination whether or not an author only allows 1 license per installation? That's a bit of stretch. It's more so to avoid paying renewal fees on plugins that haven't updated in months if not years just so you can use the same version you have now which you own a license to. If the license is revoked once the renewal expires, why am I still able to use it? This makes no sense. So either I have a license or I don't. This is information that should be available before purchasing a file. I'm not advocating to get rid of renewals or change how they work, all I'm saying is this information should be easy to find before making a purchase. I've seen this topic come up a lot over the years. The lack of transparency seems to be getting worse over time imo.
  19. @Morrigan Correct, if you want updates, but if you need to do a reinstall you wouldn't be able to because your access to download the version you already have a license to is revoked until you pay the renewal. This is confusing and implies that we really have no rights to said file unless we renew it. Yet, we're given the impression we can continue to use the version we purchased a license to up until we need to update. See how very confusing and misleading that can be?
  20. @Stuart Silvester While we're on the topic, why is it we have to pay a renewal to download a file we have a license to already? I was always under the impression the renewal only applies to future updates. With this new system, any app over 4.5, we'd be unable to retain a local copy or download it again without an active license. It doesn't make much sense to pay a bulk fee to access then continue to pay a subscription afterwards. It should either be a bulk fee, or a subscription, not both. I find that a faecesty imo. Thanks for the links btw. Seems that's been a hot topic as of lately and sorry that I rehashed it.
  21. Could you provide some links for context? I searched for similar topics but was unable to find anything relevant. I also noticed you removed my workaround I added to my original post? Why is the ability to manually update files now all of a sudden top secret? For the record, I didn't have any apps break as a result of 4.5. The only thing that broke was my ability to update any files before 4.5 lol.
  22. This is a rather annoying change and has caused me so many issues. Can we get this back? I've got so many apps stuck in limbo because I can't install from the acp because they don't support 4.5 and I can't update them manually because it's listed as a marketplace app. Is there not a way to manually set an app to custom?
  23. Still having issues promoting IP.Downloads files. It works if you only select a single image. Anymore it will fail every time.
