I'd like to add a section on our site where we can add vendors with whom the community has worked and had good experiences. I would like the ability for users to indicate their level of satisfaction with the vendors...upvoting or reviews or ratings, something like that which will allow vendors rated the highest by community members to be indicated as such. I saw that upvoting is only available in Q&A type forums. It looks like Gallery and Downloads allow reviews...our vendor entries wouldn't necessarily be the intended purpose of Gallery or Downloads, but it could work...maybe. Anyway, wondered if anyone knew of the best way to do this? Thank you.

I'm having a nightmare / brain fade! I've just changed on my mobile to desktop view of my site. And I can't change it back. Must be the sun here in the UK getting to me. Can someone remind me how I change it back? This is my personal view of the site, not everyone's.

I'm just starting my community setup and deleted the default forum that comes with the platform. I then created a new forum category with a discussion form underneath it (see screenshot of ACP below). Here is the site: https://www.thewave.engineer/forums/ However, when I look at the front end nothing is there....no General category and no Personal Projects discussion (see screenshot below). What am I doing wrong? How do I get the forums to show up on the front end?

So I just have a few quick questions... I am currently on the trial and tried using the support chat pop-up at the bottom of my screen but all my previous questions to invision support are no longer displaying and are missing, and I also tried to contact support via my account page in invisions community but it's saying I do not have access to support while on trial so I am not sure if I am in the correct place to ask here but I don't know where else to ask my questions since i ave not received any replies to my now mission pop-up chat requests, but I am very interested in upgrading but I am having some issues with my trial version that I don't think is working corre…

I would like to implement group promotion rules based on the frequency of the member's last post. Specifically, I want a member from a certain group A to be moved to a group B if he added a post in the last 7 days (last week). If the member in group B does not post for 7 days, I would like him to be moved back to group A. Is this possible? What settings should be made for this scenario? How many promotion rules must be created? Thanks for any guidance!

My menu looks like this (note the podcast item): I would like to set that podcast item as the default application, but when I look in my Admin settings it isn't listed (see screenshot below). How can I make the podcast menu item the first thing people see when they enter the site?

Hello again Invision Team, So for some reason on some of my threads have blocks above and to the right. I have no idea how they got there and I don't want to see them. It appears I can add block by using the pop out panel in the left as an Admin, but I can't seem to remove the blocks that were mysteriously added. How do I remove them or manage them? Makes no sense. Thanks in advance! Jason

I am in the process of converting a homemade CMS to Invision and in the basics is moving an article table and converting the images. I have the images in a folder in the uploads folder and they show fine when displaying the articles. My issue is when I go to edit the article the image shows 0 kb and it requires me to upload a new image when I go to save the image. Are there any work arounds I can do so that the images are "properly" uploaded to Invision? Note that there are thousands of articles so I don't want to do this manually. I'd guess only the newer ones would need to be reuploaded and would do it manually if needed, just want to see if there is an …

I was playing around in the Main Manager area and was not able to make a customized menu name. In the options for Menu Item Type only for applications and such installed on the system. The other option is Configuration but that is for those who can access/see the menu. I have an application and want to rename the tab for that application but it can't be done within the system from what I can see. How can I do this if possible?

I have set up a club and can view it on desktop, but when I try to view the club on mobile it doesn't show up. Currently it's the only club I've created and when viewing clubs on mobile no clubs show up (even though it shows up on desktop). Any idea why that might be and how to fix it? I've had others try this on mobile and they get the same result.

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'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 …

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.
