Hello 🙂 English is not my mother language and I sometimes don't understand some words. I wonder what "Review files" in the Download system permissions mean exactly ? Does it mean members can modify the file and send a new version ? Thank you 🙂

I'm new to Invision. Just purchased my first subscription. I'm trying to link Blog entries to my various forums. I can accomplish this by using the URLs assigned to each, but I'm wondering if there is a built-in way to do this and if so, which is better. Thanks for your input.

Is it possible to disable access to the website without logging in, forcing users to log in to see the homepage? However, in that case, search engine robots will not see the page, new topics, and they will not be indexed. Is there a way to solve this, or am I mistaken?

Hi! We are going to 'restart' our very old forum, which has been open but not managed during last few years. We have thousands of spam members and we would like to get rid of them. Is there any way how to bulk delete them, as taking them off one by one will take too much time?

I was looking to restart a renewal that was stopped back in March 2024. Been informed that the previous $20 monthly charge is no more, which is okay but the response from sales is making me a little confused. My understanding is that I would need to purchase IC at the new customer pricing ($400) and then would be going forward on the typical renewal pricing ($200) As this particular license was just recently active not more than a few months ago, I never paid for it on the onset? Just wanting to clarify things.

Will having our communities on the newest version of 4.7.x better position us for a smoother upgrade to 5.x when it's available, or is 5.x so different that it won't make a difference? Are steps being taken in 5.x to ensure a smooth upgrade to from 4.x? What can we do now to prepare our communities for the upgrade without issues? Thank you

I have two accounts with Invision Community because some of my licenses are personal, and therefore tied to my personal payment card, whereas others are business-related and use an alternative card for payment. I'm trying to log into my alternative account. It hasn't always been obvious how to do it, and today is a stellar case of this. I have signed out at both invisioncommunity.com and invisioncommunity.com/forums. The next step is to log in again. No matter which of the two sites I try, I'm presented with this: But clicking Sign in with Email automatically logs me back into the last account used, not the one I want to access! I'm not finding anywhe…

I would like archived posts to show up in search results, and also show on user profiles. As my forum is coming up to 20 years old, alot of old profiles just look empty, a few members have unfortunately passed away but there is nothing to look back on on their profile as their posts are in archived topics

I've been meaning to ask about this, and now I'm finally getting around to it. At the moment I type this, my IPS forums (I always am updated to latest version) show "Who's Online 2 Members, 0 Anonymous, 368 Guests", but GA says 83. Both supposedly record the number of 'users' within the last 30 minutes, but the IPS data is always 3-5 times the GA value at any given time. If GA is aggregating the data somehow, it's not by IP address, obviously, but I suspect IPS is counting unique IP addresses. I'm hoping someone can explain the discrepancy and provide some options to better align these numbers via IPS. I do have the GA integration service enabled with my …

I am looking for a way to display a block from Pages database (feed) via Advertisement after the first post. The database is ready, the block is ready. Issues: I cannot use {block key="my_block"} in the ad content. It does not parse templates variables. I cannot show a block via external embed either, as it adds a vertical scroll bar to the block. I cannot use static content for the ad, as this does not respect closure date, changes to permission, actual number of views and comments and and so on. I cannot edit a topic template to add the block, as I would like the block to rotate with other ads. Any other creative ideas of how to cre…

Hi Guys as page database could has its equivalent forum topic with different URL as Follows Page Database: https://invisioncommunity.com/news/invision-community/invision-community-4-pages-databases-in-clubs-r1298/ Equivalent Forum Topic: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/477347-invision-community-4-pages-databases-in-clubs/ And Search Engines consider both of them as separate entities or pages .

I'd like to allow my members to sell things such as downloadable files, club memberships, etc. I realize this ability is built into Commerce. However, since many of the items are micro-transactions, I'm concerned about all the transaction fees eating into profits. Is there a way to require users to use account credit for smaller transactions? That way, users would need to load their account with a larger amount that will justify the transaction costs. I'm open to any other suggestions to minimize transaction as well. What has worked best for other communities?

I have a problem here which a user brought up. The user made a subscription on my website with paypal which has expired and was canceled on PayPal as well. This subscription was the one with the old price but I change the price on that subscription package some time ago. Now this user wants to continue with a subscription but it's not possible since the system is saying the subscription has expired and has to be canceled. When you click on that link nothing happens - just leads to this page : What can be done that this user can renew the subscription ?

I had a database that has been connected to the forum: publish record and use for comments. I have removed the connection. The database will be deleted. The topics should stay. How do I remove the “View full ....” link from the topics now? The links all broken as the database does not exist anymore. Thanks.

I follow this board mainly with the 'unread content' activity stream. I'm surprised no one has commented on this weird topic title font issue. Most of the topic titles displayed in the stream are the standard size but a few are almost double for the entire topic. Is this a result of some setting for a particular forum?

Getting back to building again, and I forgot if there is something removing glyphs when trying to add a Font Awesome Glyph into the name of a category, like a forum name for example? I tried to add it, but it does not show properly. So it is either me not adding the Font Awesome library correctly, or there is a security protection in the way?

Is it possible to restrict new members from sending private messages until they've made at least 5 posts? I've traversed the settings, and I can't seem to find any way to restrict private messages.
