Hi guys, I've been struggling to set up the sharing options in my Community. I have the option to share content to social media enabled, per category and per subforum available. Thus, the following icons should have been showing below the "reply" box in each topic, as detailed below: However, none of these icons show in my community! I've double checked and I have enabled the option to share content in each and every one of my subforums. Also, I have enabled each individual sharing option in Site Promotion -> Sharing. Does anyone have any idea what the issue might be? Thanks in advance! Kvothe

Hello, I have a number of password protected forums set up and posts are appearing in the Activity feeds of all users including those who are not signed in to the private forums. This means that relevant activity is not displaying but instead all they see is (see attached). How do I change this please?

I love the new subscription manager and I'd love to move all of my subscriptions to there, but has anyone figured out how to make discount coupons just for specific subscriptions? We offer 2 plans and I need to be able to have a coupon apply to one plan and not the other.

I'm not sure if this is a big but I have an announcement that is set to show in forums, within specific forums. When in traditional forum view, the announcement shows above the content when creating a new topic. If you switch to fluid forum view and start a new topic in that forum, the announcement does not show. switch back to traditional view and start a topic and the announcement shows. Any ideas?

Hi guys, this might be totally noobie.. However it was / is currently the only way for me to populate our database (IPS CMS Database) with data but now I am facing an issue that needs to be fixed. Short introduction We are a german community for a game called Crowfall, a MMORPG. We provide an ingame database with abilities and discipines/runes (in future also items like equipment, etc.) As we have an insane amount of attributes to populate in very different point of views we decided not to popuate data through the IPS form template but just extract certain info from an external API connection, process this data in excel following SQL formatting according to ou…

Hi, Right now I have an important thread in a subforum that contains other subforums, but usually the threads are placed below the sub-subforums so it's hard to see the thread. Is there a way to get that thread pinned on top of every sub-subforum? So it appears multiple times but there is only one thread? Thanks!

Hello, For our community forum, we have users who have purchased a certain product, and we have individual forums devoted to those products. I'd like to know if it's possible, after the user logs in, to direct them to their specific product forum based on the product that they've bought from us. We can assign them to the group that fits their product (i.e. "Acme Product 1 users") but I'm not sure how to go about direct them to the "Acme Product 1" forum once they've logged in. Does anyone know if this is possible? thanks so much
