I have started testing the new forum for my site and so far I am very pleased.
Anyone that would like to help us test this forum, give advice, make a suggestion or simply comment is welcome to do so and would be greatly appreciated.
I will have several questions as I move forward so I was curious as to whether you would like me to use this thread or create a new one each time a question is answered.
The first issue that I have encountered involves the confirmation link that is sent to new users. When I click on that link it gives me a 404 error. Is there a setting that I need to adjust in order to correct this?

Do you mean the link your new user gets when their site registration email arrives? Sadly, registration, login etc., are all pure WordPress functions. As far as I was aware they should get the url as set up in the WordPress > Settings > General panel with the login page added. Unless you are using some sort of membership plugin which would probably override this with a setting of its own...
You can also override it however, on the forum admin > components > login and registration panel if you need to but this is likely only going to work if you use the SP registration email (Options > Email) which simply replaces the built-in WP one and allows you to change and personalise the text.
Does that help?

Thank you swordfish, I am going to look at those options now.
Next question -
If I want to reorder the 'report post', 'PM', 'edit' and 'quote' buttons above each post, what file should I look under?

You would want the spTopicView.php theme template - in the /templates folder of your SP theme. Or - if Reboot - in the /desktop and /mobile folders. if you trace down you will see the display functions are fairly easy to work out and you will find the ones you are looking for in a block together. And you can, of course, reorder them as you prefer.
As always we recommend the use of a child theme to ensure changes are not lost when upgrading. There are now Child Theme Frameworks available to download for all of our themes to make this simple and full and extensive details can be found on our Codex - Creating a Child Theme page: https://simple-press.com/docum.....ild-theme/

Ok, I have them reordered now, thanks again!
What file should I look under to change the size of the images for the subforums? I would like to make them just a bit larger to aid in the ease of navigation for my users.
Offline
can you explain further? or give us an example link? are we talking images or the thumbnails in forum posts (if enabled)?
some options are on forum - options - content settings... and then if you are using our file uploader plugin for simple press, you could check forum - components - file uploads...
its also possible your wp theme is artificially limiting the size, but without more info or example, hard to tell...
fyi, using the link in post #1, my anti-virus and malware software goes crazy about unsafe site... dont know if false alarm or real, but suggest a scan to make sure...

I ran a scan today and it came back clean so I am hoping that it is just a false alarm...
Here is a link to the forum page - http://live4sportnetwork.com/i.....dex/forum/
If you look under NFL you will see divisions, then under each division there are subforums for the teams. These are the icons I would like to make slightly bigger.
Another thing I would like to change is the way the subforums are featured from within the actual divison forums - http://live4sportnetwork.com/i.....afc-north/
I would like to have the subforums listed in a less intrusive manner. I think having them listed the same as on the main page with smaller icons directly underneath the index/subforum header bar would make for a better look and feel with easier navigation.

You're going to need to make a change to one of the template display functions in the SP theme you are using. Is that Reboot? I am not sure as you have removed our copyright and about sections.
But you want the spGroupView template and need to locate the call to the display function sp_ForumIndexSubForums() which probably looks a bit like this:
sp_ForumIndexSubForums('unreadIcon=sp_SubForumUnreadIcon.png', __sp('Sub-Forums:'), __sp('Browse topics in %NAME%'));You need to add a nea argument which is iconWidth. This is currently, by default, set to 20 (pixels). So - if, for example, you wanted to make it 35 then you would add:
sp_ForumIndexSubForums('unreadIcon=sp_SubForumUnreadIcon.png&iconWidth=35', __sp('Sub-Forums:'), __sp('Browse topics in %NAME%'));which will do what you need.
I will need to think on the other one as that ainlt so easy - you would probably need some new display functions.

Oh yes - meant to add of course: As always we recommend the use of a child theme to ensure changes are not lost when upgrading. There are now Child Theme Frameworks available to download for all of our themes to make this simple and full and extensive details can be found on our Codex - Creating a Child Theme page: https://simple-press.com/docum.....ild-theme/
But as I can see you have removed items you have probably done this already.
