Before, moderators were able to edit poll votes. After the update, we can't find the button to do so? The permission is still there, but where can we edit the poll votes?

Update says "Also includes 4.5.4.2" But Dashboard says im already running that if i see it correctly? And if not can i upgrade only to the latest 4.5 instead of 4.6? I'm still having a custom plugin that is not 4.6 ready at the moment... 🙂 [img]https://abload.de/img/invisionoik2p.png[/img]

Getting error -200 when any member tries to upload any files larger than 460mb, but when the server admin user uploads a file on any size locally to server it works. Any ideas? PHP memory and upload file limit settings allow up to 1GB.

Was going to finally take the upgrade step and ran into this below. I do know how to pull up PhpMyAdmin and hit the Query tab. I assume the software will tell me the exact query to use and I will then submit it via PhpMyAdmin where I have the arrow in the attached screen shot? I am just making sure I am fully prepared to do this without getting hosed. Thanks! Large Database Updates During this upgrade some changes need to be made to large database tables. Trying to do this automatically may time out, so you will be prompted to run the queries manually when required. Before continuing, connect to your your MySQL server's command line so that…

It's a bit concerning to see security issues not addressed for 4.5, and forcing an upgrade to 4.6. While we are in the process of testing, things aren't at a state yet here in the community where third-party developers have released compatible updates to their extensions. Why isn't there a 4.5 patch? See: Some guidance and communication on when a branch will become end of life would be appreciated.

Our users get confused following a thread that includes multiple conversations. Is threaded replies a thing already? Similar to when you reply to somebody in the comments section on Instagram?

Hi there I just upgraded to 4.6.4 from 4.6.3 and it seems to have broken all Jquery - in Admin CP, and on the frontend. Using my custom theme, and a brand new theme makes no difference.

Hello, the video describes my error in detail, the file is not displayed in the HTML & CSS editing section. They only appear for a millisecond and then disappear. I have searched various internet forums, but there are no similar issues. I will add that the forum engine is newly installed and nothing has been changed in the settings. Thank you in advance for your support ❤️ ezgif.com-gif-maker.mp4

I have renewed the 6mo license, and still getting 15k+ admin notifications about expiring and expired licenses in the admin area. (Also, why am I getting warned about a license that will expire in 6mo?) Every admin page takes 30-60 seconds to download, or sometimes they just timeout. I have emptied the acp_notifications table in mysql, but these still show up. How can I get rid of them? Thanks!

Hello, the save changes button does nothing when you click on it after making changes. If you click on it before making changes a message pops up saying you haven't made any changes, so it seems as soon as I make changes it stops working.

Recently Used Devices reports me I use Macintosh and Safari when I am actually from iPhone and Chrome. The same problem when I am on iPad. I think it may be the reason of the problem.

I have been told more than once that the Invision Community Platform is not user friendly on mobile devices. I dismissed this since when I gave a cursory look at my mobile device looking at our website, it looked ok to me and thought that these ones don't know what they are talking about. However, I have always used my computer when on our website and started to think about helping those who only use mobile devices a tutorial on how to navigate our website. So that is when I discovered why the Invision Community platform is difficult for those who only use mobile devices. So I have a question for the IC clients about menu management for mobile devices and what your recomm…

I am trying to reward anyone who takes out a yearly subscription from my forum with some points and a badge. However, I have added the rule which doesn't appear to be working. Can anyone assist please. Not sure if I am missing something? I have tried without the "Active" part but neither adds points or awards the badge.

Before upgrading to the latest software version whenever anyone used the quote thing on my forums it would shorten it to about two lines and then you could click to see the whole thing Since upgrading it's gone back to just quoting the whole thing meaning you have to scroll all the way through the quote before replying Anyone know how to get it back to shortened quotes?
