Hello, I'm considering purchasing Pages for our IPS community Forum and wondered if anyone could point us in the right direction. It's setup to use a free theme that we've customised a little to be "ours" and fit our niche gaming community. Since we set that up, we've been working on a PHP website to host a news feed, navigation bar with a link to the forum, it uses its own authentication using an existing MSSQL database thats connected to a game server that we hope to host - but the trouble is, we want to keep all the authentication as simple as possible and don't want to get weighed down by integration and SQL triggers etc. (Yes, I know why did we purchase a MYSQL based forum when we have a MSSQL based game... nvm) So my first question is - Does the feature Pages actually work as I hope it would do - can I build a home page e.g. index.php and heavily customise it or even be completely custom - rather than working in with some page designer, and let mel use Invisions authentication and member system? Could I mostly copy and paste my existing php/html code into a Pages 'page' and it will just display the same way? Second question is - will we have more control of the user CP buttons and its placement in a page in the Pages feature, which at the moment is very restrictive in the current Forum layout? Thanks for any help you can give 🙂

Can anyone tell me where the ,main html and .css and we'll fiddle ourselves I guess 🙂

We'd even settle for manipulating the buttons to look like this I guess too! 🙂

Hello! I'm not sure of the proper term for this, so I apologise. Is there a way to move this below into its own row / container so I can have a full width banner on my forum? Its a real pain, I've search and found you can move the Search bar but nothing about the actual side bar(if thats the right word). Picture below :). I realise this may not be supported by Invision but its badly something I'd like to move out the way of a full width banner. Thanks for any help.
