Hi, is there a way to not allow users to copy and paste photos into the editor? Such as having them manually upload them via the "choose files..." button instead?

https://invisioncommunity.com/clientarea/support/1016300/ No updates in almost 2 weeks... on a 3 week old ticket. I've tried to ask several times in the ticket for status but I never hear back. Here is the issue in a nutshell... sitemap goes to virtually zero after upgrading to 4.3. Can any staff help? It's in tier 3 support which I figured meant a resolution was coming soon. This may effect other folks too.

When I paste a link to a video on Ted.com it gets embedded in the preview and I get the " Your link has been automatically embedded." message, but when I post it, all I get is a big blank space where the video should have been. Videos from youtube work correctly. Is it a setting somewhere? Or does it not work with ted talks videos? EDIT: I see that it's the same issue here. So maybe it just doesn't work with ted talk videos, or am I doing it wrong? Test:

I'm currently planning the migration of a large-ish forum from vB4 to IPS. Inevitably there is going to be a hit on SEO and a drop in organic traffic. Could anyone give me some advice on how to mitigate the hit as much as possible. For example, is there a redirect script/htaccess that will redirect requests from the old vB4 topic URLs to the new IPS URLs? Obviously, I'll be requesting that Google re-crawl the site via Webmaster Tools but, beyond that is there anything else I should be doing?

Hello, after a night long conversion from 3.4.2 to 4.2.7 and solving a dozen of problems I'm stuck with translations. Problem #1: I have no idea how to enter a translated text. I see the original text in the column English and empty space in my destination language column. And that's all, clicking the emtpy space does nothing, right click doesn't work as well. How it's supposed to work??? Downloading the language data doesn't work, I get just a funny xml file with 5 lines at all. Problem #2: It's not possible to change language or displaying user dropdown menu on Firefox 59.0b5, as none of the #el anchored links works. Strange is that MS Edge work…

Hi, Is there a list of email tags anywhere? I can't seem to find it in the guides, I assume there are more tags than just what is displayed on the email form? I want to send a welcome email which has a link for the user to edit their profile. Cheers

I think I may have asked this before and was recommended to something that wasn't exactly what I wanted. Does anyone know how to use the subscription system to allow multiple subscriptions to different secondary groups where it won't revert all the secondary groups (just the one that they subscribed to) at the end of the time?

I have a busy site with lots of static content that currently includes a vB forum in a sub-folder. My long-term aim is to convert the entire site over to Invision Community, using Pages for the homepage and much of the non-forum content. However, this is a massive job and needs to be phased. There is an imperative to migrate the forum first and the only sensible option seems to be to install Invision Community at mydomain/forum. My question is, how easy will it be to subsequently move Invision Community to site root when the time comes to port content to Pages and make that the primary application? Are there any considerations I should be taking into account now, before I…
