For any of my other customers with the same issue as Alex, add this to custom.css and I'll patch it in a future theme update.
The awardsHr code helps with dark themes, so feel free to leave that out if you like.
[data-role="awards"] > .ipsDataItem > .ipsResponsive_block{ flex: 0 1 100%; } hr.awardsHr { border-color: rgba(var(--theme-text_light),.3); }  

The desc tag works for me. I actually use it in my own theme settings:
<?php $lang = array( 'themesetting_focus_light_dark_enable' => 'Enable light/dark toggle?', 'themesetting_focus_light_dark_enable_desc' => 'A toggle icon will be added to your theme allowing your members to easily switch to an alternate color scheme.', );  

I experimented with a feature like this with my themes. I only wanted a setting to be displayed if a previous setting was set to a certain value.
What I later realised is that the conditional setting will only be displayed once the existing setting has actually been saved. There isn't any ajax functionality which would make the "Gradient direction" setting appear as soon as "Radial gradient" is selected, which actually results in a pretty poor experience for admins since they won't see the new setting until they've saved the existing page and reloaded it.
In my own themes, I've simply added a description to situations like this which basically says "If Radial Gradient is selected above, this setting will control its direction." I feel like this may also be the best solution in your case.

For future reference, the height of the banner can be controlled by one css variable in 4.5, so you don't need media queries or multiple css selectors.
For example, this will increase the header height to 300px:
:root{ --header--height: 300px; } Or if you only want to edit the height of the mobile header, simply use:
:root{ --responsive-header--height: 100px; } From there, you'd then use the "Logo height" setting to control the height of the logo. So if you've set your header to 300px and want your logo to be 150px in height, you'd change the setting to 50%
 
 
The old user links were positioned using absolute positioning. If you want to replicate this in 4.5, add this to custom.css
#elUserNav{ position: absolute; } [dir='ltr'] #elUserNav{ right: 0; } [dir='rtl'] #elUserNav{ left: 0; } That should work, but let me know if it doesn't 🙂

I was right, you definitely rock!
 
Apologies for the out of venue assistance.

Something like this will do the job..
#elUserNav{ position: absolute; background: rgba(0,0,0,.6); border-radius: 4px; color: #fff; padding: 2px 10px; -webkit-backdrop-filter: blur(6px); backdrop-filter: blur(6px); } [dir='ltr'] #elUserNav{ right: 0; } [dir='rtl'] #elUserNav{ left: 0; }  
If you need help beyond that, it would be best to ask future questions in the Theme Assistance forum, since this forum is technically for Feedback and suggestions.

Haha.
I would LOVE and welcome any feedback / advice to help me shift away from the ad revenue model. That would be greatly appreciated. 
Still waiting for @zayed to update his awesome Enhanced AdBlock Blocker plugin for 4.5 😇 
And yea my users really like the Chameleon theme thus far! And the support has been awesome @Ehren
I make enough to work for myself full-time, however it's not generating a huge profit like I want. 
I think if I told people it was subscription only, most would just disappear. I would basically need 1000 subscribers at $3 a piece to know it was worth my while. 1000 people out of the hundreds of thousands that visit per month doesn't sound too difficult to get, but from my experience it has been 😆 
I would LOVE subscription only because I find the ad model to be unreliable. Some months are amazing, some are awful. Very unpredictable. I would love something more stable. 

I've visited your site a few times, and I've never seen an ad before, then I realize that they were probably being blocked by my ad blocker (uBlock Origin), so I turned it off to check.....




There are quite a bit of ads.

By the way, your site loaded pretty fast for me, I didn't notice any major issue. I will message you back later when I have more time to write, with some ways you could possibly earn money  without using any ads. Congrats on the ipsfocus purchase. I use Chameleon Pro myself. @Ehren is the best. You are definitely in good hands.

I should clarify that my note shouldn't be construed as a recommendation of any theme author over another, but it can provide a useful data point. 
There are several talented theme developers in the IPS Marketplace who put out great themes, and theming is such a personal choice that you really should explore the entire portfolio of themes before making a decision.  

Looking forward to purchasing one of your themes! Thanks for responding in my topic. Great work. 👏 

Thanks guys! 
I think this will be the route I take. Themes look pretty great and I love the dark/light mode options. 
Should be a fun change. 
Appreciate the suggestions!! 
Sent! Thank you! 

Hello,
The Carbon theme from the demo board is the exact same one as the downloadable version. If your site looks different, it's likely because you need to setup your blocks using the Block Manager 🙂  Blocks aren't imported by the theme, so there's no way to "duplicate" the demo board without manually doing it yourself. I hope that clears up any confusion!

The theme author @Ehren behind IPSFocus is the same theme consultant behind 4.5's new theme.  
He's generally excellent in his theme support.  

I know you're not looking for a new theme, but the theme I use for my forum is Chameleon Pro from, ipsfocus.com, and most of these were rebuilt already and they do have some amazing features. The support is beyond incredible.

If you're using the default Invision theme, adding this to custom.css should do the trick:
.ipsDataItem_lastPoster__title{ max-width: 250px; } If you're using one of my themes, the code might be slightly different.

Good to see you around, Tiger. That is very... passionate feedback on the URL reset fee. Although it's been addressed before, I'm happy to do so again. 
Firstly, prior to limiting the resets, it was very easy to "license hop" - that is, swap URLs around, obtain support, upgrades, etc., swap them around and repeat, etc. So, while not necessarily the original intended purpose, it does help keep the honest... honest in the same sort of way that a deadbolt keeps the undetermined at bay--obviously, the determined/committed can kick the door in. 
Secondly, in many cases, there actually are costs incurred with fresh installations by way of support. Frequent URL resets are a byproduct of tossing ideas around, deleting, reinstalling, configuring and deleting. Quite often, there are numerous support requests involved and unfortunately, often the same questions/concerns over and over again on each reinstall. The spirit of tech support provided is based on a single installation and not so much to support 'tinkering' and perpetual reinstallation support. The fee, when applied, helps (in a small way) offset some of that overhead.
I would hope a number of customers here would attest to the fact that we will generally just update the URL for you if you contact us - especially if you're just changing the URL on an existing installation. In cases such as those described above, the fee may apply. 
I'm sorry you consider it a barrier, but I can assure you, we're not funding private yachts from license reset fees. 🙂 Even with license reset fees, we frankly still typically tend to have a net loss when it comes to many of those (not all, but many) that kind of toss ideas out to see what sticks. You've been around a long time (for which we're appreciative!) - you're a power user (who still sees us as a 'forum provider') and you won't likely require much support throughout your tinkering journey. That's not usually the case here. 
Just drop us a note if you find you need to change the URL on file. We're generally able to help if that's all you need. 
Thanks for the feedback. 

Funny you should say that 🤭

Thank you. I have open a ticket.
