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…

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?

I'm curious to know if the upcoming Invision Community 5 will include enhanced features in its editor, specifically regarding syntax highlighting. Will there be support for the latest standards across various programming languages, such as C++20 for C++ and similar updates for other languages? Looking forward to any insights or updates on this functionality.

In my ACP under Activity > Emails > Email Clicks I can see a curve for Bulk Mail. I just sent a bulk email, with a link to a topic in the forum. Does that number represent the number of times recipients have clicked on the link? Or does that count any click on any link including the Unsubscribe link? How does that work if I include 2 or more different links in an email, is that value the sum of all clicks to any link? Thanks!

Since upgrading from 4.1 to 4.7 and migrating from self hosted to ICC at the beginning of this year I've noticed that my daily registrations and overall site activity has plummeted to a fraction of what it was prior to those moves Any idea what might be a probable cause for that kind of decrease ?

Hi all, When searching for my community in an incognito window, the "online members" block shows who's online. Is it possible to hide this? (especially the pseudo/names) Also, would it be possible to have the page redirect to a customised log in page? Thanks for your help!
