> [@miniLG](#): > > it is the custom theme so I guess I won’t get any help Forum discussion among users interested in enhancing Manger’s value by using it’s extensive customization capacity, is probably best done on a Manager forum in my opinion. Other forum members appear keen to cleans this forum of Manager customization discussions.

That way those who don’t want to see such posts can just not go there and ignore them, and those wanting to customize Manager can share their experience and knowledge. Of course a forum is not going to make all visitors instant programmers, and many will not be able to achieve the customization they want even with community support. The forum software has the ability to put threads in categories such as ideas, bugs, smtp. I’m not sure if it has the ability to not show threads in a particular category, say Coding Some forum users do offer coding support such as > [@Where to get Liquid Support](https://forum.manager.io/t/where-to-get-liquid-support/22124/6): > > The issue with themes as they are implemented right now is that they are way too abstract.
