Hello, we habe in our member-profiles one field with the email adress. But it is not possible to klick on the adress like the fields with URLs. The URL works well. Did I made a mistake? Thanks Christine (I love the Invision Software! The best forum!)

Right now we're using SendGrid free for our emails, and we're limited to 100 a day. How can I disable all emails sending for things like "someone messaged you" or "someone replied to a forum you're subscribed to", essentially I want to disable everything that isn't registration, security, or a password reset.

When the display name is changed, previous quotes still include the old display name and are not updated. Is this a bug or it is working as designed? Is there a rebuild task I need to run to reprocess all quotes? I have raised a ticket, but I might get an answer here faster :)

Hello, after executing the conversion from our old MyBB forum to Invision, I realized that all the formatting tags in peoples posts and comments don't work properly. Instead of displaying the text in the respective format, it just displays the tags as raw text. For new posts however, the tags work perfectly fine. Is there any way to fix this?

Hello, I have seen in many forums lately (both in themes and default IPB) that they are able to make it so that the only way to login is through steam. They are able to remove default sign in functions somehow. How can I do this? I have the Steam Sign in currently, but that still allows default sign ins to take place (http://relentless.ipbhost.com) Thanks Mirage

I use Downloads on my site to upload things such as magazines and scans, which can be relatively large. For this reason, I've set a max upload of 17MB. On the other hand, I've got a user who is quite happily uploading full-size images from his phone. I need to restrict the sizes he and others can upload. Is there a way of distinguishing between apps and or user groups? Or am I going to have to reduce the maximum upload for everyone and then go to the trouble of increasing the limit every time I need to exceed it (and hope that nobody else needs to) and then reset it back to the lower one to prevent these people eating up my storage space so needlessly?

I want to remove all members out from a second usergroup. There is only the option to move those members to another group, but this changes the members primary group. So, any other ideas? Thanks.

We often get repeated questions on our forum and wonder if there is a way to show similar topics to mitigate this. What I mean is maybe when a user starts to type a topic title, it shows topics with similar titles which hopefully will avoid them creating another topic the same.

hello, I was sure I saw a Marketplace app somewhere which allows you to change the background for just the header area, i.e. the space in the default theme where you have the logo, Create menu, notifications, messages, user menu etc. Does this ring a bell with anyone? For the life of me I haven't been able to find it in my searches.
