With 'Allow Reviews' enabled in the Downloads > Categories section. I added the following bit of CSS to my custom.css file: .ipsRating { display: none; } .ipsRating + span { margin-left: -10px; } and it got rid of the Star Rating display, and adjusted the placement of "(0 reviews)". You can still write and leave reviews. Was is that simple? Can any CSS masters out there confirm if this is ok? Thank you.

I just did a test and disabled 'Allow Reviews' and this disabled the display of the Star Rating, but also the ability to leave a review. It's too bad these are linked together in the Downloads section, when on other parts of the forum you can JUST disable Star Ratings. Is there a workaround for this, to just HIDE the display of the Star Ratings in Donwloads? I just looked for a plugin, couldn't find one unfortunately. Thanks for the reply though.

I looked in the Categories section of Downloads, I can not find a way to disable the Star Rating system. I want to leave the Review part on, where people can write and leave a review, but since I disabled Star Ratings throughout my forum, since 99.9% of people never used it, I don't need it to show in the Downloads section. Is this possible? Thank you.

That should be it, if you don't send the notification, maybe there's a bug. I'll check and get back to you. I really appreciate you looking into this. Thank you. 🙏

WOW, incredible response time. 👍 I'll try and find the correct template and remove it. Thank you. UPDATE: WOW, that wasn't hard. I found the correct template file thanks to the search feature. I then removed 1 line of code, and now it's gone. Thank you for recommending for me to do it that way. Easy fix.

Is it possible you could tell me how to hide the "#" symbol with css? If not no worries, I'll ask around on the forum. Thank you.

Links Directory as well please.

UPDATE FOR CLARITY: I may have worded this wrong, sorry. Is it possible in a future update, you can add the ability to enable a notification to be sent to a seller when someone asks a question on one of their adverts? Thank you.

Is it possible this "Notification of Question Asked" feature could be implemented in an upcoming update? This definitely feels like it should have been a part of the app from launch. Thank you @Adriano Faria for all your hard work. 👍

It was all a misunderstanding on my part, I got confused by what I'm able to see as a admin, over how members see it. Marc pointed me in the right direction. Problem solved. Everything is working again. Thanks for your assistance @Morrigan

I tried this, and it did not work. I did find something weird though. If I log in to the ACP and then click on a members name. then select 'Go to Public Profile', then while on the Profile Page I select 'Edit Profile', I scroll down and I see the Signature field. Now if I visit someone's profile and select Edit Profile, it shows up, sometimes. But everytime I select my own profile page, I do not see the option. I have 4 Admin accounts, I tried the above method for the other 3 accounts, acp/go to public/edit and I see their Signature field, but when I try my own, it never shows up.

Thank you. This worked. All signatures are showing again. Now I just have my original problem of the signature field not visible to edit on the profile page. I disabled all 3rd party plugins, and theme, but the field was still not showing. Thanks again.

I spent a good amount of time yesterday setting up new groups, I now have a total of 4 groups. Only the first group I had Signatures disabled. The other 3 groups Signatures is enabled. On my forum, Signatures are still being shown, but when you go to Edit Profile, if you are in 1 of the groups where it's enabled, the Signature field is NOT visible on the Edit Profile page. I even tried Enabling Signatures in the 1 group, so all groups have Signatures enabled, but when I went to Edit Profile, the field still was not there. Does anyone know why this would be happening, or how to fix this? Thanks in advance for any help with this. UPDATE: When you are looking at a signature on the forum, as an admin you see this option to the right that says something like "ignore signature preferences" and "hide all signatures". I selected, "hide all signatures" thinking I would then see an option to "show all signatures", but I don't. How do you turn the signatures back on?

While all the new features of 4.5 are great, look incredible, I can't wait to start messing with them, there is no way I would even think of upgrading until ALL of my 3rd party apps/plugins have been updated to work with 4.5 ...

I currently use Printful with my WooCommerce website, and love it. It would definitely be nice to be able to use it on my Forum store as well.

I really appreciate you taking the time to reply, but I'm afraid I don't understand. If you look at the screenshot I posted above, each post with a question shows that it has "0 Votes". But actually each did receive votes. Shouldn't this number reflect the amount of votes each question received? If not, what does "0 Votes" represent? What must be done in order for this number to change? Thank you @bfarber for the reply. Update: I reread what you wrote, and I tried it myself on my forum, and I understand now, I can vote each question either +1 or -1. Is the purpose of this function for people to vote if they thought the question was a good one or not? If a question gets a lot of negative votes, wouldn't that discourage someone from asking any further questions or possibly encourage them to ask better ones next time? Is that this functions purpose? On the main page, as I posted the screenshot for above, it really does seem like that column of "0 Votes" should represent how man votes in total, positive or negative were submitted for each answer within that particular question. Just as another way to show activity within that question. Not everyone will leave a answer, but they might vote on a answer. I think showing activity is more important than seeing if people think the question asked was good or bad. Each person will make up their mind on that the second they read the question. Just my thoughts. Thanks again for explaining. I really do appreciate it.

Anyone out there? Anyone have any info on this of why the vote count does not display as it should? Please!

I'm also using Mike John's Auto Welcome app. Works great for what it does. I am still setting up a Help Guide section breaking down how to use features on the forum, once that's done, I will include a link for them to check out all the features. 😉

I was actually going to post about this same thing a while ago, this is similar to FB replies. I only want to use this sort of idea on one section of the forum, the 'Introduction' section (which I don't currently have, it's just a thread in a section) But let's say someone joins the forum, a thread is auto generated to go into the 'Introduction' section, which will have their name first, so it can be sorted alphabetically if needed, but defaults sort by join date, so the title would be something like, 'breatheheavy - Welcome to IPB'. Then there could be custom auto generated content just saying 'Welcome breatheheavy to IPB. If you'd like, please share a little bit about yourself ....." Then the person has the opportunity to leave a reply in that thread. But let's say others on the forum start leaving replies before he gets a chance to, those replies ONLY show under the 'breatheheavy' thread, and are even closed when looking at this section. So you basically only see a bunch of blocks/threads with each persons name. There would be a 'Read replies' link to click to expand all replies for the 'breatheheavy' thread. So now after 10 people leave a comment welcoming breatheheavy to the forum, breatheheavy finally leaves a comment sharing some details about himself. His post would be automatically placed directly underneath the first initial 'Welcome' thread with his name. Maybe slightly highlighted like the Q&A section where the most voted answer gets placed at the top and highlighted. So again, I would love to see replies implemented this way but for this custom section of the forum. This is a great idea, love it. I do hope to see this added at some point.

Anything that can be done to personalize the Profile page would be an added bonus to the what is already an incredible system with what IPB offers. We do go to forums to discuss topics, but once I've read a comment I like, especially from a new member, I do want to know more about them. This is where I could get ... if once I visited their profile page, I could get a better understanding of who they are, what they like, their passions, interests, and more. But most importantly presented to me in style, their style. Each profile page could be unique, as unique as each individual on a forum is. A Couple Suggestions. Integrate the BLOG application in a limited state for the Forum. The new default tab on a profile page instead of being Activity, could be Blog. Members would be able to create content-rich blogs to any length, that would be displayed in condensed, truncated blocks, so they are all the same size, and could include pagination in case they have a lot. Once you click on one of these blog entries, it either opens in a new page, or opens in full right there on their profile page. Just as we as admins can Manage Blocks on the forum, pages, etc, make it so members can Manage Blocks designated for them. NO HTML ones of course. Have "Profile Builder Widgets" similar to these: These could be custom widget blocks made only for Profile pages. This way they set up their profile page and display things they like, how they want, in whichever colors they'd like, etc. Maybe place a Video Block on the left, they can add a title to it, color the title, change font, size, etc. Have a Image block, where they can place a single image with a header maybe, have the image show in full size with lightbox, if they want, they get some control settings too. Give them the option to link to their Album in the Gallery. Have a slider showing thumbnails of their other photos, when they click one it shows in the main box, in a bigger size. Have a text widget block so they can give it a title and say anything they'd like. My Favorite TV Show at the Moment Book I Last Read Movie I'm Looking Forward To Seeing Instead of us creating custom Profile fields, let me them basically show/display what they would like to express. A Recent Posts widget, or basically let them highlight posts, instead of Our Picks, give them a My Picks block. They can either highlight some posts they've created or posts from others they have participated in and want others to know about. -------------------------------- @TheJackal84 definitely understands how to give a profile page some unique customization, he is offering some GREAT plugins: Profile Backgrounds Profile Songs Profile Video -------------------------------- I can go on and on, but basically an integrated Blog style feature for Profile pages with modular blocks they can arrange and manage and completely customize to their liking. It's funny because instead of calling it their Profile page, they could call it *MySpace, which is exactly what it would be. Their own personal space to set up as they wish. *That name does sound familiar. 😉

Perfect. Easy fix. Thanks again Mike. I did reply to the last private message you sent me, when you get a chance I'd appreciate if you could check it out. Thank you!!!

Yes, for the sidebar widget. And yes you are correct. I just checked. I have one comment that is truncated at 6 lines. I didn't know that this was already in there. Is it possible to explain how/which file to edit to change the amount of 6 to maybe 3 or 4? Many thanks Mike!

I am not sure I completely understand how to use this plugin, is it possible someone could provide an example, explain how this works. I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.
