Hello, somehow topics from specific forums appear with <title> tags that include the forum name, website name while topics from other forums do not. Here is an example https://www.enotalone.com/topic/456803-dr-lady-check-in…/ I can't remember what I did years back to do this and what settings controls this. Could someone point me to the correct direction? Thank you.

I'm trying to connect my Invision sub sites with the main Invision site for auth (which I use to be able to do) and is still advertised as a possibility. Yes I clicked on the link "Connect Two Invision Communities" and it says the same thing. I'm running 4.7.10 but I don't see AdminCP -> System -> REST & OATH option anymore (which I use to) Can someone clue me in to how we do this now?

Due to spammers I have set my forum so new registrations need approval before they can sign in. After doing that I no longer get an email notification that a new member has registered and the account needs my approval. Is there a setting I can change so I will get an email when someone's registration needs approved? Thanks for your help.

HellO: I have GALLERY purchased, so I wish to (validly) up load videos to post. And, I wish to also post videos in a forum message as well ( which seems to accept a different encoding format! ) I have tried various file formats outside of our software to see which format will play the best on both hand-held & desktop. That experiment yielded mp4. These other encoded videos did not play or otherwise failed: mpg & wmv. Using Adobe Premier, I used encoding variables set for HD cable / television broadcasting. However: That does not achieve the results I am looking for or simply fails! HELP: Would you know the …

Hello, Unfortunattely, after several years, our forum is not active anymore. But with a lot of post, we want to keep the history available. We're looking for a solution read only. Do you know a solution for having an export of the site in static ? (no more interaction / no more registration/reply and no more database etc.) I will try HTTrack Website Copier later this week but maybe if you know something Thanks again,

When I take a look at my translations (AdminCP > Customization > Languages), I found some empty language strings. For example: I guess that these come from deprecated features (in this case acp log files for hosting errors when hosting was still a thing in the commerce app). Will those be auto-deleted at any time? Is it in any way harmful or "bad" to have these still in place there, or can I just ignore them? Is there a way to manually remove outdated/deprecated language strings?

Hi, Have just read that support tickets will be depreciated. We use this functionality to provide confidential advice and support to young people who don't want to use the public forums to access help. Are there any alternative solutions or is it possible for us to keep this functionality as it is incredibly popular and many of our members really depend on it. Thanks, Liam
