I'm trying to create a button on my front page that leads to just the Online Events in the calendar. If I search for online events only, it brings up results -- but that link only seems to be good for a limited time. If I test the button the next day, all results are blank. How do I find a permanent link to the Online Events results only? Thanks!

I can access my dashboard and the system in the background but not view it. Also, is there any other way to contact support than here? Sales support emails do not respond ... Thanks,

Hi, I was looking at my Blogs feature and I was wondering about the Custom Sidebar feature. If you enable it in Blog Settings, and then enable it for an existing group Blog in the AdminCP, it shows on the front end. Is it supposed to be editable by the Blog owner as there doesn't appear anywhere to edit the content on the front end? For me, it's no problem, my Blogs haven't been used for years, but it may be of interest to other sites. The feature seems very limited and almost forgotten, you only get one block and it occupies a lot of screen real estate, unlike the way it used to work a long time ago when Blog owners could add lots of rich text…

Hi, i plan to buy Invision Community software self-hosted version to run a download portal for files sharing and i have some questions: As i will need just Downloads app, can i buy just this module ? no need for forum etc .. I played with demo and i found that gamification system is great but I am interested in knowing if there is a possibility to separate the "lifetime earned points" from the "point balance." Specifically, I am looking for a feature where users can accumulate points over their lifetime within the system, but the "point balance" they can utilize for purchasing subscriptions or other items won't affect their overall rank or lifetime earned po…

With todays phone cameras picture sizes will just get bigger and bigger. As people are, they don't tend to care about the picture size but jus upload their pictures as they are. To think that normal people will understand the concept of making pictures smaller is to hope for to much. Is there any way to automatically downscale pictures in IPB when they are uploaded? (I know that it's possible to set at maximum size when you upload the picture, but I'd rather resize them automatically – I believe in making it smooth for the end user.)

I saw many times this error in the last couple of months of using CiC and at the same time, ic.com is also not available apparently due to ic.com also hosted on AWS cloud. Today it went down at 6:54 for over 32 minutes and came back a couple of times in between, even when it comes back and the loads the page intermittently, it is really really slow with more errors like 504 Gateway Timeout or For the whole time, status.invisioncommunity.com shows "Invision Community Platform (US)" as fully Operational at 100% even after an hour of the incident which is incorrect. Only invisioncommunity.com (web site and client area) under status page…

The help guide doesn't indicate how long each of the items in the Our Picks remains on display. Is it related to when the tasks run? Is the per item promotion time dependent? Thanks.

I want to add some badges to users on our community, for example a 1 Week badge for those that have been registered for a week. Is there any way to trigger a badge based on just the amount of time they have been registered? I can see I can do it when they log in and check then but there are a couple of problems with that, firstly I want to use it to encourage people to log back in in the first place and secondly it will then go an award that badge to the 20k+ people we already have registered for more than a week 🙂 There doesn't seem to be a "New Users Only" condition?

I am trying to translate this language bit "No notification List" but I'm struggling to comprehend even in English language what does that choice exactly mean. Is it the same like "Do not send me notifications"? But if it were then why a different phrase is used here?
