This is where @Ehren custom themes will come in handy when released!!!

Thank you so much.

Man, you’re really proving your point with this statement. It’s also making me see the LIVE TOPICS feature as a potentially more fun and usable option. Hosting a scheduled LIVE CHAT where people can come together and just chat, then saving it as a topic, sounds like a great compromise and idea. I just wish the number of LIVE TOPICS allowed was double its current limit. For example, the Creator plan could allow 2 per month (scheduling one twice a month seems ideal), and the Creator Pro plan could allow 4. What are your thoughts on this? For someone looking to create a musical group fandom forum with fans from all over the world, one chat could be scheduled for U.S. residents and the other for international fans. Since there isn’t a consistent Chat feature, would this be an option IC might consider—doubling the Live Topics allowed per month? On a related note, slightly off-topic, is there a breakdown available that explains the differences between Page Builder Basics and Page Builder Full Access? Thank you!

You mention this. Does this mean it's possible for a developer to create a chat app in this method, or is this something that has to be built-in? I am also a Cloud user.

All excellent points, now I want the chat feature again.. LOL. I'm curious, WebCMS. Would a third-party chat feature suffice, or do you want a built-in solution?

Excellent points. You are absolutely correct. Thank you for pointing this out.

When V5 launches, I’m planning to start a new community and hope to bring in people currently using Facebook Groups, X, Reddit. V5 already has some strong advantages over those platforms. Adding a Live Chat feature would also help connect with the Discord community.

@Ehren I'm assuming with how incredibly busy you are putting the final touches on V5, the thoughts of you even thinking about creating custom themes for V5 must be far off. So I'd like to present to you an idea. Would it be at all possible for you to create a plugin for V5 of the 'Background Picker' feature that you have in your themes featured on IPSFOCUS.COM? I'm assuming this would be somewhat easier and faster to accomplish than creating a whole new theme? Not sure if you are allowed to do such a thing as creating a paid plugin for V5, but I would be more than happy to pay pretty much whatever you'd charge for this as a standalone paid addon. I plan on creating a fandom forum based on a musical group, and would love to offer a different background based on each member of the group for users to choose from as their background. Most people do have a bias when it comes to groups like these. Thank you Ehren for all your hard work with V5. I am looking forward to starting to build this new community once V5 officially launches.

ChatGPT never fails:

Great job, looks incredible.

I appreciate the reply and info.

@Ehren Could something like this be possible? To use GRID for a section of the forum and TABLE for the rest or another part? I appreciate your response and suggestions and ideas. Thank you Jimi.

Now that I know the proper terminology, basically, is it possible to show part of the forum in GRID view and the rest in TABLE view? I'm assuming not.

My question is regarding Forums. I want to create a community for a music group that has 7 members. The first part of the forum I want it to be called MEMBERS, and in this section I would like to create 7 subforums named after each member, but displayed with boxes with their pic in each one, similar to your set up here (but there will be 7, possibly 8 if I have to create an extra one for it to display properly). But then below the MEMBERS section, the grid of boxes, I would like the rest of the FORUMS displayed normally, like this. I was just curious if this type of setup is possible. Thanks for your help Jimi or anyone else that can help answer this. BTW, I wasn't sure if I wanted to go with the menu on the side or at the top, but after seeing your layout, I think I will go with the side setup, it does look really nice.

Looks incredible. Great layout. Would you mind answering a question I have regarding if a certain layout I want to do is possible?
