I have converted from PHPBB to Invision v4 with a paid service from Invision. I see there is still a converter application installed, which I suppose handles all the redirects from the old forum URL's and possible other things as well. Will that application continue to work for v5?

My forum is over 20 years old and we have only just started using the badge system I've recently added some rule based badges to reflect 5/10/15/20/25 years memberships but I'm not sure if they are auto applied to those members who qualify or do I need to rebuild members achievements ?

Hello, I have a user in my forum who wants his posts in two topics deleted/hidden. He has a lot of posts in these topics, so doing it one by one would be very time consuming. Is there a way to search by user in a topic to make all their posts appear? I have no found a way to do this. Thank you

So... I have never really messed with Clubs or Events before. As I was doing some testing, I noticed that all events that are created in Public or Open clubs seem to be going into the community calendar. Am I missing something, or is there a setting so either the events are self contained to that group, or the main calendar will only show group events for groups you are a member of?

The connection manager causes problems if the user is not registered and goes directly through the connection. (in my case it is with google auth). It does not ask the user for the minimum age to register. This is annoying because under the GDPR we must not process the personal data of children under 16 years old. Is there anyone else facing this problem?

In the Commerce app, what does "Purchases of this product must be associated with another purchase" mean? Does that mean the product cannot be purchased until the parent product has been purchased? I want to make a free add-on that cannot be downloaded unless the user owns our main product.

Hi all, I wish to use Sendgrid* and also have a few email addresses associated with my domain. I'm a little unclear what I need to do. If someone could post a short checklist (or relevant link), it would be greatly appreciated. * I could use Invision's bulk email system, but it seems that's not the best option. I wish to email the membership (up to about 30,000 members) about some changes and need a robust system to manage bounces and the like. I do understand that I should be careful to avoid too many bounces and will email members incrementally. I did read the Email section from the Guide, but it wasn't that helpful. How important is it that …

I feel like I had a conversation or read something about Databases and Wiki-style editing to be depreciated. But I cannot find anything about it, I want to believe I am wrong. So just a general question, is the Database product in Pages going to be depreciated anytime soon? (let's say within 5 years)

This may be totally obvious, but how do I enter the admin CP? According to the "branding basics" video, it should be under my name, but it's not there.

Hi everybody. I'm not sure where to ask thes questions or where to get the information, but I'm a member of a forum/online community run on invisioncommunity, so I know the capabilities very well (from a users perspective), but I don't know them at all from a backend perspective. I run a local business and I wanna start building the community side of things more. For this, I would need something like invison, but can invision do the following (and where do I find more info): 1) Run automated email campaigns 2) Have people sign up for free stuff (lead magnets for example) 3) Integrate with stripe? 4) Have some kind of procedure to sign a leg…

Hello! I am attempting to set up permissions on the Forums and make it so that people can only view their own applications for a specific group on a specific section. For Example, If a member is apart of the Applicant group and there is a section in the forums called Applications, they can only view their own applications but not all applications. How do I accomplish this? Sincerely, FiveDeltaOne

Hi, I'm trying to import a members list by CSV and fill in the postal address field along with some other fields too, but it will not populate this. I tested this by downloading the member list from Invision and then importing it back in matching the fields but with new data. It all worked except for the postal address. Any ideas? Cheers

Hi Guys, I need help determining the best way to solve a problem. In my community we often have topics that contain lists of products, and the lists need updating as new products come out. For example, a member of the community may post a list of all speakers that come in the color red. This is the first post in the topic, followed by discussion of the speakers for several pages, then a new red speaker will be released and the list will get reposted on page 10 (for example), making the original list obsolete. This goes on for years, with many new updated lists. I only allow editing posts for 30 minute after publishing/saving them due to misuse by bad actors. U…
