Thanks. Scratch Ehren off that list though. I don’t think he’s interested in doing anything custom. Messaged him a few times at his site but never responded. I’ll look into the other two.

In search of a custom theme designer with a solid portfolio. Thanks!

Adriano maybe you can help me out with this? I just installed it on my eighties forum and I added the content blocks block and selected carousel but I'm having this issue. It's funny because I have the same the style on my other forum but it doesn't give me that issue. Maybe you have an idea on what the problem might be? Thanks!

Excuse my ignorance Adriano but should I be seeing that block in the landing page settings now? Do I have to do anything on my end to see that block? Thanks!

Maybe ThreadStarter: Steam and also Game addons 🙂 

Yeah I second that. All the thread starters would be nice. They’re great add ons.

Probably. I'll try.

So Adriano I realized what was going on with the recent comments block. I’m such an idiot. It’s just that. Recent comments not recent threads which I was expecting to see. Please disregard what I wrote about that. 

Maybe a bit far fetched but is there a way to add for example two or three YouTube video side by side in a block? I've been messing around with the some of the content blocks but I can't make it work. Thanks!

I’ll install it on my server today later to see how it goes there.

I’m also adding support to Blogs and all my other apps.

You’re the best.

Editor block in Edge:

Go figure. I'm betting you it's an issue with Invision Cloud.  I can't think of any other reason for this to be  happening on my site. I hardly even have an add ons either so I can't put the blame that. 

As for the FA icons I'll have to double check if about the version. I had no clue about that so hopefully that's what the problem is. As for the other ones I have no idea. Thanks!

It seems right to me:

- Settings is to list 8 recent posts:

 

- Forum view:

 

I have 5 rew posts in this forum. The 3 others aren't from today but they show because I want 8 posts.

--------------

Will try to reproduce the issues in the other post.

Strange.. Maybe it has something to do with Invision Cloud's server settings. I changed the option to show only five recent posts as opposed to 12 and that did the trick.  

Why thank you for using me lol. 

They could be only on my end but just bringing them to your attention.

These are some other issues I discovered while adding and editing blocks on both Chrome, Safari and Edge.

Main Block ( Multiple Image Backgrounds ) It shows the widget title and in white.

Also in the articles (Content Blocks ( Multiple Selections ) the font awesome icons are missing on those three. The first one it shows as you can see. I definitely added the fa code correctly incase you were to ask. 

Another note this is probably the microsoft edge browser issue but it wont show the block Pure Editor ( Some Fancy Text Or HTML ) at all. It does on the other browsers. Thanks!

Alright so I started messing around with it and noticed something. On the Forum posts I chose the option recent but it shows comments from Saturday, Sunday and yesterday. Only some from today even though there's a lot of recent posts made today. Is that a cache issue on my end or is it something with the add on? Also on the Main Block ( Single Image Background ) It only shows my background image randomly.. Thanks!

Does anyone have a working demo of this? I just bought it and I'd like to see it in action for ideas. Thanks!

No avatars are showing on forum display. Can you please post a screenshot of the area that you mean?

Maybe the page description that I gave was wrong but what I meant was when you visit the forum it shows the avatar of the most recent user that commented.

Is there a way to remove the avatar from the latest thread and post on forum display? Thanks

I would lose the fluid width if I were you - you've done that on the dark theme but not the other which is default.  The issue with fluid is that those with large screens 24" and up will find reading the topics difficult; this is why newspapers use columns to break up the width of the pages.  I'd go for a fixed width that's comfortable on the eye and this will be the width regardless of screen size (resolution may come into play somewhat).

A lot of what you see on my homepage is just CSS and the blocks that come with IPS and the Movies app by @Adriano Faria

CSS and HTML are pretty easy to learn, you just need to understand the structures - once you've got that under your hat you can create custom blocks and tune them up any way you want them to appear.  An example would be the new Page Builder Text block that comes with Pages. I used this to create the 'Welcome to...' banner.  The block does most of the heavy lifting, all I had to do was add some CSS to pretty it up, like so:

background: rgb(9,94,121);
background: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(9,94,121,1) 0%, rgba(9,26,121,1) 49%, rgba(9,94,121,1) 100%);
padding-top:30px;
padding-bottom:30px;
font-size:48px;

The gradient can be created using a CSS gradient online editor such as >> https://cssgradient.io/

The world's your oyster to coin a phrase when you can put the little building blocks together.  

Apart from the width the only thing I would add is another block to even up your posts at the bottom of the home page - that gap at the end looks like an oversight lol.  That's me being picky BTW 🙂

Love the site, love the music (my era along with the late 60's and 70's) - keep it rockin'

Thank you for the tips!

He hasn't been and so is on the process of transferring his apps and plugins to @Adriano Faria, who certainly is supportive. Funnily enough, this particular app appears to have been transferred to Adriano's care on the few minutes since you posted this. 🙂

That’s good to know and thanks. I’m probably going to end up getting it then. Adriano is the man.

My home page is done with whatever IPB has built into the system, You can create good home pages without the need of paying for it 🙂 

https://www.baysidegamers.com/ as as you can se I just use blocks 🙂 

Yours looks good too. I like the blocks with the rounded corners. I guess its a good thing to learn how to code unless your using custom blocks or something from marketplace?

I have not used this one yet but will be testing it.

It looks good but that individual theJackal doesn't look like he supports his add ons so I'll  pass. Thanks though!

@Greek76 Are you using the Pages app?  It would also be useful if you provided a link to your site so we can see what you've done so far.  There are loads of apps in the marketplace that can help you spruce up your homepage.  Here's mine using the Pages app to create a page and then added in some blocks.  https://moviebuffs.org

 

My setup is sort of like yours but the colors of your site make it look a lot more attractive and welcoming. Very good looking forum you have there. Mine is here. 

That's a shame. I was thinking about purchasing this one. 

Just curious to see what some of you use as a welcome page on your forum. What I had done was make a page and added blocks to it but it looks really generic so I wanted to see what you guys use? Any good recommendations? Thanks!

Yeah, sorry... I had to install it to remember. You mean the form when you manually edit the country. 👍

Yes exactly.

"From" section? Anyway, It uses \IPS\GeoLocation (countries are not added manually) and Scotland, alongside with others, are countries that makes part of the United Kingdom, thus UK shows up there. Not sure why Ireland shows up there.... 🤷‍♀️

EDIT: oh, Northern Ireland makes part of the UK and it doesn't show there.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ireland

Yes from the From section. Ah ok so it's not something that we can manually edit. Thanks!

I noticed that Scotland isn't on the drop down in the From section. Is there a way that I could add them? There's a few artists I want to add from that country. Thanks!
