So. My host sucks (Host Gator). When trying to edit permissions in the software (admin>tinyportal), my host security keeps blocking it with mod_security, and won't allow the settings to save. Here is the error I get:

QuoteNot Acceptable!

An appropriate representation of the requested resource could not be found on this server. This error was generated by Mod_Security.

It's not the software. It's the host. I've been on chats with them multiple times and they can't resolve it. They even whitelisted the entire domain but it keeps happening. The only way I can get around it is to manually edit the files themselves on the server with File Manager. This is not for EVERYTHING, but occasionally a setting will trigger the host security when I try to save. It's annoying and as soon as I have the time and resources, I intend to move my sites to a new host.

But for now, I need to edit some settings. At the moment, I'm trying to edit the article settings so a custom membergroup I created has permission to view articles. Here is the path to the setting in question:

► TP admin
► Categories
► Edit

I'm trying to add "Ambassador" to the "Membergroups that can see this category". Can anyone tell me what file or database table to edit to manually add this permission?

That is strange. When I first made the edit the gap was the same. Today I see it is reduced. Oh well. It is an improvement, I'll take it 

Thanks for your help!

The header is now gone, but there is a slight space left as a result of the tp_article_info element

You cannot view this attachment.

Hmm. I tried it but it had no effect. I have the "Minimize CSS and JavaScript files" unchecked, and cleared my cache.

Here's what's in my tp-style.css:

.tp_nodivheader {
    padding: 12px 16px;
    display: none;
}
There is still a gap between the blocks and the article:

Code Select Expand

display: none;
On the div element should hide it and remove any whitespace.

If not unset the element causing the spacing.

Just beat me to it..

in tp-style.css find

.tp_nodivheader {
    padding: 12px 16px;
}
and update to

.tp_nodivheader {
    padding: 12px 16px;
    display: none;
}

display: none;
On the div element should hide it and remove any whitespace.

If not unset the element causing the spacing.

I played around with the css and although it can be slightly improved, until that empty div is gone you can't fix it completely, or at least I can't with my limited knowledge.

I would personally like to see that empty space disappear when not using the title the same way as the blocks behave.

Got it. I unchecked the box. If it's easier to live chat to mess with this, use the Chat link in the forum and join the #Orlando chat room.

*edit: On second thought, maybe we should keep it here so others can benefit from the conversation.

Sorry, I could have sworn you were adding that article to the front page, that's why I suggested the Center Panel Block. Obviously that won't work for a article page. 

Can you go to SMF admin and turn off the, "Minimize CSS and JavaScript files" so we can take a look at the css. Also if you have that option on you might not see any manual changes you make to the css.

Admin > Configuration >>  Minimize CSS and JavaScript files

You can turn it back on when finished.

Is there a file I can edit to eliminate the padding? I have a couple of articles that show as pages when the user clicks the links.

Quote from: @rjen on October 28, 2026, 06:52:45 PMJust checked what you are doing and you are trying to remove the title by suppressing the header styles and switching all content off.
Problem is that de header div still needs to be there with the padding: the header does not 'know' you removed all contents..

Is there a setting that I can try that may help with this? I've been playing with the layout but haven't been able to find anything that works.
