Hi there, I have NO idea why, but my word filter in the admin panel is not allowing users to type the letter X. It changes it to ***** I even set up a rule to get it to convert back to X, but no luck. I also tried deleting the 'xxx' filtered word (Google says it goes against their terms which is why it's there in the first place), but no luck. Any idea why this could be happening?

Hi there. Google is notifying me of bad words on my site. I am trying to clean everything up because it impacts site revenue. It's listing several Tweets that use bad words. I deleted the Tweets in the posts, but's also linking directly to the Tweet. For example, this Tweet was removed from the topic, but it still exists somehow on my forum. How can I remove it? https://www.breatheheavy.com/exhale/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=embed&url=https://twitter.com/ArianaGrande/status/1239250705916940289

Can members login into an IPS powered site by using OAuth? I'm trying to understand this method, as I am seeking notifications to be made for my webview app so that users can get their own specific ones. If a user logs in with OAuth via the app, it can generate a registrationToken that can be used.

Hi Invision, Recently, the MultipleRedirect javascript (and CSS) has been modified: it now uses the CSS "content" property to display the MultipleRedirect progress label. However, it's a bit embarrassing, as we now can't display HTML in this progress label. The former method was simply using javascript .html() jQuery method to display this label, and we were able to use HTML. => Why such a change? Isn't it possible to go back to the previous method? Thank you!

Hi Guys - As I wrote in this topic - HERE - we need to change the data-role name from sidebarAd to something without the name "Ad" in it because Adblock Plus blocks anything with this name. I can rename the data-role in the template but then the sidebar has trouble being displayed on mobile devices for some reason (see linked topic above). Question: What's the best way to rename a data-role?

I just noticed the ads in the sidebar are now blocked by Adblock Plus. It only seems to effect the sidebar ads and it seems to block all sidebar content whether or not it's ad related. Anyone else see this?

Hi. So I've recently decided to give the developer tools a try as I'm planning on creating an application for IP.Board. However in my attempt to install the tools and configuring the forum to use them I'm having some issues. After installing the developer tools provided by Invision and switching the forum into developer mode I'm receiving the following error message. Whoops \ Exception \ ErrorException (E_USER_ERROR) You have used a function (func_get_args) that should be called from the root namespace for performance reasons (/var/www/web/init.php(820) : eval()'d code::105).

The title sounds bad but there's a positive motive behind it. Just realized our settings were set backwards to Opt all new users OUT by default. Now that that's fixed, I'm curious if we can force all the non-opters back into the email list. I won't do it again, just wanted to see if we can capture the lost members into our email blasts.

I feel kind of silly posting, but I need some help. The forum for my organization has been active for 5 years. New leadership for the organization is now in place and we need to make some edits to our forums. My backend helper is no longer with us and I need to figure out how to access what I need on the backend to made edits. I'm familiar with other forums, but not with Invision. Where do I start? Thanks

hi, I can't find how to translate these strings which are shown when you search for some term but you also add time/date filters. Its not the first time when some strings are elusive but these should be translatable since they are quite commonly seen by members. What our experts say @Daniel F @Andy Millne @bfarber ? 🙂

I'm trying to create a condition for a custom field in the user profile, in my case I have two fields, field_25 and field_26. field_25 = input field_26 = checkbox I would need that if field_26 is equal to 1 it adds an emoji.

Considering switching from a VB backup into a new cloud hosted site... It sounds like the transfer process with support will take a few days, but if I go ahead and sign up for a cloud site, can I go ahead and start the process of features, templates, setting up other features of my new site, etc. - and then just import the old forums and members a few days later when the transfer process is complete? Any ideas or suggestions on this?

Hello, I purchased an Invision site a few days ago and am ready to use my own, custom domian. When I purchased the site, I chose "Decide Later" when it gave me the option to use my own domian vs an Inivision domain. I already have my URL purchased through GoDaddy. I couldn't find any information about the CNAME or anything within the Admin CP. I saw somewhere in a forum, that I needed to open a support ticket to obtain my CNAME information and any other info needed for the domain. If someone can reply, I can give more information. Thank You, Garrett G.
