I'm not sure if this is a Feature Request or if this is something the Suite can currently do and I'm just missing something, so figured I'd ask. I'm playing around with a possible new landing page for my community - you can see it here: https://board.sonicstadium.org/home/ What I'm curious about is the Activity Stream widget at the bottom there (ignore how it looks, I've been playing around with the theme templates). It shows a preview of every piece of content that is listed in the stream, which is nice. But my community likes to make forum topics about spoiler-heavy subjects (i.e. new Legend of Zelda game, Succession finale, that sort of thing) and posts …

Hi all, I'm stumped, I think I've set this up before but cannot figure out how to do this now. (I'm getting old, argh!)🫣 Here is my question: I like to reward those who make (any) donation by giving them access to a specific for everybody else hidden gallery folder. Is that even without plug-ins possible and if so how? Thank you in advance!

I am hopeful there is a setting for this and I'm just missing it. I have a community where everyone can add new content upon approval from a staff member or admin. My question is how to setup staff that when they submit new content it does not need to go through approval. Admins can do that already and I have made the staff a restricted Admin, however it is still sending emails and requiring approval when someone in the staff group submits new content. The staff group can however approve their own new content. Thanks

Hello Invision, I have members complaining that they want more than the default amount of reactions per day. I can't seem to find this setting anywhere to increase it. Is it even possible? Search turns up nothing. Thanks in advance! Jason

I would like to get the stats information about the "number of posters", "number of posts", etc. so I can feature some members. I don't want that information to be displayed in a sidebar. Is there somewhere, in the backend, where I could see those figures for a specific period of time? For example, who has posted the most in the last month, or what topic has been the most popular in the last week, etc. Thank you.

I will have to email my community about some news and evolutions. I made some tests with the bulk email system. It sends around 700 emails in 2 minutes. 5 to 6 emails per second. I think it can generate some problems. - It is a spammer speed degrading server reputation - Some hosting companies have hourly limits - As all mail arrives in a short period of time, there is an influx of connections to the site at the same time is the a way to manage email sending speed ? By example : 1 email each 2 seconds, or other...

I have 2 sites, site 1 is topic specific and site 2 is Off Topic for site 1. However 99% of the users on the off topic site are also registered on site 1 topic specific site so I was thinking of merging the two together however some users on site 1 are not interested in the Off Topic content and don't want to see that content included in the default Unread Content Stream. My thought was to have 2 unread content streams, 1 for site topic specific and one for the off topic content however my concern is the efficiency of achieving this. For stream 1 I would have to specifically include 58 forums plus specifically include certain gallery pages etc categories and more whi…

Hi gang... I've only recently become Admin of our Invision forum site. I'm pretty new to all this and and still uncertain about a lot of stuff, but am learning things quickly. However, I see that an update is available to v4.7.10. We're currently running v4.7.9, and everything is running fine. I'll be honest -- I am terrified to hit that "upgrade now" button for fear that everything will come crashing down and I won't know what to do. I've searched, but can't seem to find a walk-through of the process here in the posts. I could definitely use a link to a walk-through or set of updating tips or, for that matter, even some encouraging words. <g>…

Running latest 4.7.10 Recently imported a small IPB installation (dating back to 2004!) Something has changed with the membergroup or profile settings, which I cannot resolve. Users who are not moderators or administrators can view the email address on profiles. Steps to reproduce 1. Login as a user in Member group. 2. Go to any other user profile. You can view the email address I've already checked membergroup settings and email settings, and could not find anything related to this.

Can anyone tell me what this is? On hover, it says "queued posts", and when I click it, it takes me into the relevant forum with URL query string "/?filter=queued_posts" forum I get that its supposedly where I can see the post queue, but I've no idea how to set up this queue or how I have a '-1' value. Searching the ACP reveals nothing, and it doesn't seem to apply to the moderation "Approval Queue" Note that I'm just testing some things in my TEST forum, and this is where I found this, so it's not often used in practice. __________________________________ Unrelated Question: How can I rebuild my community content?

I'm running a few third party RSS imports from non-RSS sources which results in a publishing delay. As such they are posted but never appear on an activity stream first page because they are buried by the time they are posted with their actual time stamps. Is there any way to override the posted time or any other solution to automatically bump an RSS fed forum topic when IPS ingests it?

Hi guys. I don't know if to do this it requires a plugin or application, or it can be done from the same platform. Where it says Activity and Ratings It would be to add a new tab with the latest topics assigning specific forums. Would it be possible? Thanks greetings.
