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?

Is it possible to restrict new members from sending private messages until they've made at least 5 posts? I've traversed the settings, and I can't seem to find any way to restrict private messages.

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!

We've been using the Bulk Mail tool successfully for site announcements. Previously, we had a newsletter list running through Mail Chimp and want to go to using the IPS Bulk Mail feature only. I've imported the e-mail list into a separate user group that we can select when sending a Bulk Mail -- but I notice there is a widget option for Newsletter opt-in. Is there a way in the Invision platform to offer users the option of opting into a newsletter (or opting out)?

When I copy/paste text from a page into a post/comment and another user reads using a different theme, the background color of the pasted text is displayed in the origin theme's background color. I know there is an option to Paste in Plain Text but users may not use it because the pasted text in the editor displays with the same background as the current theme and hence not noticeable. Eg: Dark theme - copy text from a page and paste into the editor and post. Other users using a light/default theme see the pasted text with dark background. How do I workaround this issue? Here is the text I pasted that I copied from the dark theme into this editor here that …

So I’m trying to figure out the best way to list a bunch of items that allows members to rate and review. I saw the Pages has this capability but wasn’t able to figure out the best way to do so. Would an alternative option be to create a forum, create the item name as a topic, and allow the posts to be reviews? Is there a rating option? is there a way in pages or somewhere else to have the reviews be set up more like an Amazon, this user 5 star, here’s the comment?

Hello. We're looking into re-opening our forums to new users and want to make sure the email is working. Questions: 1) If we use PHP as the delivery method, I assume that means it will send from an address like forums@ourdomain.com. How do we configure this? I don't see where we would enter the credentials on the forums. 2) Is there a better way to send emails? I see the option for SendGrid but not sure what that is.

Is there anyway to remove the dates from forum posts? See attached screenshot of what I want to remove. Or maybe there is a addon to remove this date? It's just so in your face and some forums are older yet still lots of valuable info in them yet people see the date and think its old info.

This is silly, but I can't seem to find where the option is to import a CSV member list in AdminCP. I've tried searching the Help Guides, and nothing is coming up. I know I'm just missing it, because I've done it before. 🙂
