Yes, I already said that I narrowed it down to this. But I am not going to remove a valid security feature just to show webP pictures. This is not the right solution.

I understand this is configurable, but it makes no sense that the default behaviour  of the software is to have a different page width for posts within topics based on whether it has less than or greater than 3 pages. Obviously, having a topic summary when there are just a few posts makes little sense, so I get the reasoning but it makes for a very inconsistent ui, which displays a lack of planning or consideration around what is actually best for the user, readability of topics and so on.
Has anyone looked into whether having the sidebar or not makes any difference in terms of the readability, the time spent within topics or anything along those lines?

Apologize, missed the question.
The ACP settings are on the existing „Postings“ page from IPS.
 

Now now @SeNioR-. Cursing at ips products. Not cool man.

Something has to give with these notifications. Members who want to receive reply notifications are getting literally hundreds of emails a day because a post they make gets a lot of reactions. 
Ultimately that's making them decide to switch off their email notifications entirely....

Thanks @SUBRTX - that's at least a step in the right direction, which is great news.
However, as I've just posted over in the comments on that link, I don't think it's been thought through very well.

Here's what I posted over there.
========================
I just had a closer read of it and and whilst it is a step in the right direction, I still don't think it's amazing.
Most people that use these notifications will still want to be notified when one of their posts is quoted by someone else.
But no-one wants to be notified when their post get a like/reaction.
So, keeping "quoted" and "reactions" bundled into a single option is a mistake in my opinion.
I feel like "quotes" should either be bundled with "replies / mentions" or setup as it's own option.
To be honest - for the best granularity - IMHO all 4 options should be separate.
I.e.
- REPLIES         [ON / OFF]
- MENTIONS   [ON / OFF]
- QUOTES        [ON / OFF]
- REACTIPONS [ON / OFF]

That's flawed though, as someone is very likely to want to be notified when someone mentions them or replies directly to them, they're highly unlikely to want to be notified every time someone likes or reacts to their content. Particularly on a busier forum where there are 100's of reactions to some posts. 

We're getting complaints from users that although they want notifications for things like replies and mentions, they don't want or need them for reactions to posts. It would be useful to be able to give them that option.

No, but it does send a notification of a reaction to a post, which is linked in to selecting you want to be notified of new replies to a topic and there's no method to separate them. 

The net result of this is that people switch off their email notifications so as not to get the notifications they don't want. Bundling together replies, mentions and reactions is a real backward step, and is going to actually end up reducing people's engagement over time. I assume that's not what you had planned @Matt - please look into changing it and allowing people more control, other than stopping their notifications entirely.

100% agree with you @Joel R - this really feels like a huge backward step in forum engagement and a number of our VIP members have now complained to us that they had to turn the setting completely off as they were getting 20-100 email notifications per day now.
That means they're missing the important notifications of when they were being tagged and quoted in posts, which was their trigger before the "upgrade" to go and interact.
Really hoping IPB can address this one shortly. 

I doubt it, since sending 1000's of extra emails a day is probably a lot more expensive than a few extra columns in the database.
