|new in Mahara 1.6| **Users can disable device detection**: If checked, users can disable mobile device detection in their :ref:`account settings <general_account_options>`. This allows them to be more flexible in what they can view and do on a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet. This setting is part of the responsive design changes to Mahara.

If you use your own avatar server to provide profile pictures for your users, you can use that instead of Gravatar for the default profile pictures. In order to do so, you need to add ``$cfg->remoteavatarbaseurl = 'http://example.com/avatar/';`` (with the correct URL to your service) to your config.php.

Search settings

You can configure the internal search plugin in the :ref:`administration of the search plugin <plugin_search>`.

Group settings

42.

Mahara cannot only be used for individual work but also to work collaboratively in groups. Some settings are available in that area.

43.

**Create groups**: You decide whether administrators, administrators and staff or everyone can create groups. The default setting is the most permissive "everyone" because Mahara is user-centered and gives the individual users a great deal of control over what they want to do. If you choose to limit the group creation to administrators (and staff), these need to be contacted to set up groups. There is no internal group request system.

44.

**Create public groups**: Choose whether everyone or only administrators can create :ref:`public groups <public_group>`. These are groups for which you do not need to be a member of the group or even have a login for Mahara to view the group homepage, discussion forums (and member listing if the group administrator allowed that).
