When someone new joins my forum it is shown as a "grid". I was wondering if I could set the forum to be automatically displayed as a "table" view instead?

We have some topics that, for unknown reasons, have a startdate of 01.01.1970. Replies have correct timestamps. Can we update the topic startdate directly in the database? (To a few minutes before first reply)

As I am still testing the gallery on a test site, today, when I logged in, I was welcomed with this big red notification stating: Maintenance Tasks Not Running Routine maintenance tasks are performed as users access the site but it looks like the traffic to your community is not sufficient to run these tasks on time. This will cause significant damage to your community if not resolved. It is recommended that you set up a cron or a web service so that these tasks can be run even when there isn't any traffic coming to your community. What does that mean? of course there isn't much traffic as it is a test environment. What do I do?

We regularly post articles inside our forum. We assign them to different categories. For some reason our last two articles won't appear inside their respective categories. Let's take one example... We posted this article. It appears as the latest post at the category meta (you'll notice that it does not for the Hot Content widget) but you can't find it inside the category itself at all (I checked all pages). What can we do so that posts will start appearing again? We updated the forum from v4.6.12.1 to 4.7.1 about three weeks ago, before we notice this issue.

I upgraded from quite an old version to 4.7 and a lot of the old embedded images and youtube links where http and not https. It seems that during upgrade, the post converter has embedded all the old media with https but not the ones with http. What I've done is run a MySQL UPDATE to turn the http:// links into https:// on the converted posts table, but is there any way to trigger a re-build the post content? Or would I have to do it BEFORE upgrade and run it again? I'd rather not do that as there have been new posts since I upgraded so if there is a way to re-build post content that would be preferable. Thank you in advance! EDIT: it was 3.3.4 to 4.7.1…

For example: Where the block placement is now, I would prefer it to be under to where the arrow is pointing. So, basically the section name and description will always be at the top. If can be done and it's a template change then what template needs to be edited? With thanks

Hi. I've been concerned for a while about the message I get in my dashboard regarding database tables, "It is strongly encouraged to ensure all of your database tables are using the InnoDB storage engine, and that your hosting provider has configured MySQL for InnoDB use. " A couple of times I've had a look into it, and even contacted support on my hosted service but I've not made much progress. I just clicked on the SQL toolbox link in my dashboard and it shows that roughly half of my tables are already in InnoDB and half are MyISAM. Is this normal? I'm confused as to how that is. So I presume I'm okay to assume that my server is already set up to use InnoDB. H…

I have a rather large forum that runs on Invision and I am looking to upgrade from my current version (which is old - version 4.3) to the latest version and was going to see if there are any major things I should be considering or known issues I might be running into or should this be relatively straight forward. This is a forum that has been on Invision since the early days of Invision. Apologies - if there is an existing post or two that are already pretty detailed and someone can point to me that works fantastic as well (I couldn't find - but I will admit I don't check this site very often so might not have been looking / searching right way). Thanks in advance!

Hi, Disclaimer: I am fully aware that your Windows Server support is very limited. I do not have any problem with languages. I'm reporting just in case: I assume that the selector should show only locales which are already installed. But on Windows Server the selector seems to work the way around showing only not installed locales. On my Windows Server 2019 which supports out of box most locales the menu includes only very exotic languages. For example, no English (United States) available to be selected while my OS is a native en-US. So for all locales already supported by my server I need to select "My locale is not listed" and input a correct short code.…

I have been trying to set up auto-moderation or, at least, be able to ban a "Guest" IP address that keeps spamming my site despite having hCaptcha on, etc. Sadly, we need a guest-friendly forum so people can ask questions before joining our site. Is there a way to ban a guest's IP address? Thanks and Warmest Regards!

Hello, I am trying to use Grammarly in the topics, but it's not even an option. However, when I create a new topic in a Page, the Grammarly plugin will be enabled and WORKS LIKE A CHARM. See attachment. It shows Grammarly's plugin attached to the editor when I compose a new post in the Pages application. Why isn't the option to use Grammarly in regular posts in the forums? It's the same editor and the same application (IPS forum). It works great. Been using it for a few weeks and never ever had an issue with it. Thanks

Hi everybody, I am new here so please be patience with me 😄 Just installed a fresh copy of latest IPS. All good until first user wanted to register. On his computer "register" page works well, but "register" button has no effect on him. Click it and doesn't change a thing ... Same thing for other user, same for other person. Seems to work only for me .. I have checked around here, but no similar problems. Second problem, as I said ... register works only for me (for unknown reasons), but still I don't receive confirmation email. I tried with yahoo and gmail, nothing. No errors in Email logs. Here around the forum I could find a viable solution …
