I think this will not be easy to grasp what I'm trying to find out but please bear with me. Since 3.4 days I had an idea about sort of integrating Comments written under Pages' articles and certain Topics within the forum. I never got to it however since 4.4 came out I need to revisit this and find out if its even possible. So... For example. I have a gaming community and each game has its discussion topic. As more and more news popup regarding an upcoming game - they are simply posted into the same topic by various members and it all just goes into this one topic in the forum. As an admin I'm not entirely happy about that because no exposure of it would happens…

I have just set up an RSS blog import and it all seems to work pretty well! Even embeded pictures in the post get transfered. The only issue i have, is that the featured image does not get assigned. I am importing from wordpress that also has a featured image but this does not seem to get assigned to the featured image of the IPS blog. Is there any way to fix this?

Are there any permission settings in club forums and downloads like there are in normal forums and downloads? I want to make it so in a paid club the members can view the forums and get the downloads but not add their own topics and files etc. This would be useful for an e-course for example Also the privacy options seem very limited - why is there no option for people to pay and then get straight in without waiting to be approved?

Seems there is no easy custom task system build in IPS. Pity. We have a forum part for testing purposes. We would like to remove threads/postings from there every xx time, for example at the start of every new day (00.00 hours) or something like that. Or more customisable. I'm no dev, had a look at development mode, but don't understand any of this. Is what I would like to do possible some way?

https://www.screencast.com/t/a07eRKvQgTPC One of my site has issues with IPS 4.4.3 so I don't want to update my another site with 4.4.3. But this stupid message just doesn't away. It's really annoying! Anyone knows how can I remove the annoying message on top?

I'm new to IPS, and ironically the back end makes a lot more sense to me than the front end. How do you add blocks to the home page to show something besides the forum categories? And where do you position them as it's not exactly clear where they go?

I edited the little message to show guests about my terms. It was working fine but after saving now my terms popup and are dismissed instantly. Nothing clicked, just automatically going away. Too fast to read. This happening to anyone? EDIT: Strange.. now it's working correctly again. This was happening on all browsers. Maybe there is a background task that needs to run before it works correctly. Thank you anyway.

Hi, Since my domain provider doesn't allow my to change the DNS (contacted them but they don't respond because Italy), I'm trying to use a redirect. I've used both a redirect from my domain www.ilex-forest.com and from free domain www.ilexforest.tk but I get the same error Denied Connession from [invision url]. Can you help me? Thanks a lot in advance, best.

Hello guys, I remember back in 3.4 days it was not possible to select an already uploaded file to a new article during its creation process. Has this changed since then? If not - are there any mods that accomplish that? If not why IPS is making us waste our disk space and time making us reupload same images over and over again when writing articles about the same topic? Thank you

How can I set the "Remember me" checkbox to OFF by default in the Login form? Most of our forum users are complaining that it's a serious security issue and definitely should be OFF by default.

I'm feeling a tad dense since I can't seem to figure this out, but... Which permission controls whether the user sees the 'Insert other media' button?

Seems the renewal message has the same bug as the upgrade message has or had on the forums. If you click the "Not now" button and then set the "Hide renewal reminder" and click "No thanks", then the first time the message bar will disappear until the next page visit or if you switch to another post or section or whatever. Then the message is back and you can do what you want, but it will not go away. At least not when you do this when visiting the forums. When done visiting the admincp it works and the notice is gone. However, it's annoying for admins which are not able to visit the admincp.

I want people to have to register before they can upload files to the Downloads app. I've checked the permissions and downloads settings on 'guests' and I have the permissions set so they can't upload but when I've tested it they can still upload and it says they can make an account later 'You can post now and register later. If you have an account, sign in now to post with your account.' Anyone know how to fix this please?

I have set up a block for a page, that shows the latest blog posts. It works great, but only the title is clickable. Is there a way to expand this so that the featured image also leads to the post if clicked on?

Hi, back in the heyday I had many variations of my forum logo to commemorate certain holidays. for example. x-mas like logo shown during december to x-mas. new year like logo for first 2 week of new year. logo with easter eggs leading up to the easter and so on. I had like 12 logo variations done. but the problem was I was forgetful and barely made any use of that. like only winter logos and thats that. I wonder is there a simple way now to upload a handful of logos and set the time when each of them should be shown and if there's no holiday - then usual logo is shown?

On my site I have files in my downloads app that were setup to have a renewal even though they should not have. I don’t want any of my files to have renewals. I edited the files to turn off renewals but folks who were already being charged renewals are still being charged renewals. I don’t want them to continue to be charged, how do I stop it? Whats worse is that my test site is ALSO charging folks renewals automatically even with commerce disabled. It’s a disaster. Many folks feeling burned and ripped off (understandably) Can someone help me write an sql query to cancel all existing files renewals please Thank you in advance

Hello, We have had some children posting on our forum and the moderators and I were wondering if there is a setting to require members be a certain age to post? I couldn't find anything on the back end, but I might not have been looking in the right place. Thanks! jen

It's really a question of one of our moderators and a couple of users. From other software (SMF, Phpbb, vBulletin) they are used when creating a new thread/post, the can type in the title, then use the TAB button and they are right in the message box where they can type their post. I don't know where the TAB is going with Invision, but nowhere near the message box in any case. I know they can use their mouse, to click once, but tab is a lot easier/faster. This is not working with IPS, why not? But the real question is, is the only way to achieve this using the mouse? Or is there another short key (or combo) to get from the title to the messagebox when …
