When clubs first came out, clubs was able to be set to public, and still allow members to join. Anyone know how this can be done again? Its nice to know who is a fan of a club (football) without the need of stopping other fans joining in the topics Basically I want the "open" club, to allow members to join, but open up the topics to all members of the site, not just the club.

Is there any way to set a forum to not show its new topics/posts/etc on the Discover (All Activity) page? We have a "spoiler" forum, where people are allowed to discuss things without using spoiler tags, so it's a problem if this content is showing up on this page for everyone. Thanks!

Hi guys. I was wondering if the SQL query command to reset profile views was the same as previous versions of IP.Board, and if so, what is the command query for IPS 4.3.6? And can we still run such a command in the SQL Toolbox? Thanks!

Does anyone know where to go to enable the "External Blocks" feature? My understanding is that there are shortcodes that can be inserted into non-Invision Board-powered sites to display content from the system. I have not purchased the "Pages" functionality, if that makes a difference. Thanks!

I've recently finished a live migration of my site to a new VPS provider. Everything has been working fine, but I notice that my Invision mySQL DB, which used to be about 145MB, now shows up on CPanel as about 280MB! I tried downloading an individual backup of my Invision DB from my old account and reinstalling/overwriting the DB from the live migration; everything still works front-end, but CPanel still shows a 242MB mySQL disk usage (my VPS provider performed a MariaDB optimisation, which apparently shaved about 40MB off). My provider told me that on their end the DB listed at the correct size (~150), but CPanel still displays the much larger size, and I'm wonder…

Hello, I am wondering what are the consequences on reputation levels after a member deletion. It looks like all the reputations given by a deleted member are removed from the table ibf_core_reputation_index in the database, but levels remains the same. Do I have to "recalculate" and if yes, how to proceed ?

Hey IPS peeps, I added the "Our Picks" block to my homepage, but the image is very narrow. Is there a CSS or template change that can make the image bigger (eg. 400x400)??

Hello, I want to unsubscribe* users who have not accessed in the last 6 months. I suppose that through a query in the database it can be done. Somebody could help me? * Stop receiving any automatic email from the forum. why? to stop receiving “bounces” of the emails sent, because the recipient no longer exists. Many thanks.

I have members trying to sign up using Android devices. They claim it is too difficult to use the date selection on this phone. Takes too long apparently. I cannot test. Does anyone know what the issue is exactly and if there is a way I can make it easier for them?

Hi, We noticed that it's possible to report posts without entering a reason. We'd prefer not to receive reports without a submission reason - is it possible to require a reason be entered? Thanks

Hello, after updating to the new version of IP board, the connection between the user account in WP and IP is gone. To test it out, try to register here: https://facetrainingcenter.com/register/ Previously, you'd be logged in and redirected directly to the forums, over here: https://facetrainingcenter.com/forums/ But right now, after the registration, you only get redirected there. You're not logged in, and there's no account created in the backend of IP board. Can you help out, please?

Hi, I'm sorry if this subject has already been addressed somewhere, but I couldn't find it 🤷🏼♂️ On Invision 4.3.6, when changing the Skin tone in the dropdown menu, the emojis are replaced by colored squares: I'm on MacOS 10.13.5, and Safari 11.1.1. The issue is not there on Firefox for Mac, nor Chrome for Mac. Thanks!

I'm having an issue with friendly URL rewrites in nginx. The page url changes correctly to /blogs or /calendar for instance, but the page displays with a 404 not found message and its driving me nuts as to why.

I believe I may have found a bug impacting Chrome on Windows 7 - possibly a regression from an earlier version of Chrome that has popped in with V71: Using Chrome on Windows 10 (and probably MacOS - but I don't have a Mac and therefore cannot test), create an event for on or after March 10 when we transition from Standard to Daylight Savings time. The event time, for example is 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. Eastern. Using Firefox, Chrome, and Edge on Windows 10, the time appears correctly for the event Using Firefox on Windows 7, the time appears correctly for the event Using Safari on iOS, the time appears correctly for the event On Chrome, on…

Good day folks, is it possible to show publicly that a member has been warned, or suspended, or banned? Mainly within the content view, as in forums, under the avatar, or?

How can I see more than 4 members here? https://invisioncommunity.com/leaderboard/ or see a full list of people in a certain period? For example if I see everyone in the month of November: https://invisioncommunity.com/leaderboard/?custom_date_start=1541030400&custom_date_end=1543622399 It's still only limited to 4? I'm wanting to run a competition so a bigger leaderboard would make it more competitive and see your standing.

Is there a way to print out or create an Excel listing of individuals who are following a club or forum? We want to cross check to see which members of a club have actually chosen to follow the club (or at least the forum tab of the club) vs. those who have not. The scrolling list that is shown on-screen is not a great way to manage this check, and also there are individuals who are following anonymously. Any insights would be appreciated! Perhaps I should post this in the "suggestions" forum also ...

Hi there. So, a lot of my website uses FA icons. They work on EVERY single page besides a custom page. The issue is they show up for some users, but not for other's - but all of other FA icons that are on my website shows up for everyone? If that makes sense?

Hey there! My forum recently updated to the new version of invision - we had been using a significantly older version prior to this. We keep track of post count in order to promote people to different usergroups, and I know that on the new software, there are a variety of different things that get added in to the content count. We think we've turned off the ones we don't need (except posting on the forums), but yesterday, a number of members are saying their content count increased without them posting. Does anyone have a list of all the things that factor into content count? I've been trying to find one and maybe am just missing it? The only app we use is the…
