So I stumbled upon this in ACP, never seen it before but anyway I have 4000 pages of members who solved 1 count on 01/01/70 01:00 I was aged 5 and 3/4 back then which is several decades prior to the internet as we now know it or even IPB 🤣 I'm guessing it's just a default date, but I wondered if it has any relevance ?

Hello, I want to start and engage Turnumenet every month, as the winner gets X amount of money as a prize. What is the best implementation for such a case? I need a simple and quick method to deposit money to a user in the end of each month. Do I need a commerce module for that? I am not offering anything for sale; the user does not have to give me money in any situation.

Hi Invision crew I use Events with my community. I discovered that pics (green arrows) that are used for each event does not have "alt" tag valued. When I do an SEO audit of the Events pages, the score is not good and the first correction requested is to enhance the Alt tags When I look at the HTML code of the Events pages, I observe that the Alt tag is indeed provided for by the code, but is not valued. Do you have any idea on how to correctly populate these Alt tags, either automatically (eg: event title) or in a personalized way? THANKS !

Hi, I currently have 2 themes on my forum. The default one and an IPS theme. But I would like only the IPS theme to be visible to users. But unfortunately at the bottom of the footer there is the "Theme" action and users can choose the default theme. Is this possible or not? Thank you in advance for your answers.

After I approve the first post of a new member, when that post is a reply, I still see only that reply and not the full thread. The URL ends with ?queued_posts=1 and the only way I found to see the full thread is to remove ?queued_posts=1 from the URL and refresh the browser. Is there an easier way to see the approved comment in the context of the full thread?

Before the marketplace went, I remember this free app called Portal. Is there a recent version available to this? Does the creator have his own site where I can download it from like other creators in the providers directory do?

I've been trying to contact sales for at least 2 weeks now and haven't received any confirmation of them receiving my email or any response on the emails. The question I have is rather simple: I got an active license right now, it's for 1 community. I want to set up another community; do I have to drop another $500 into the sink and pay an additional $200 annually, or is it just the additional $200 annually since I've already purchased the whole package earlier? Hoping to get an answer this way, thanks in advance!

We have set up a forum for our company, but the approval process takes much longer than anticipated. Paying for a forum that nobody uses yet is a little pointless, but we also don't want to lose the work that has been put into it so far (customization, user groups, rights etc.). Is there a way to set a forum to inactive so it cannot be accessed by anyone including the admins and pausing the payment, and then reactivate it two or three months later and resume payment without losing any of the data in between?

On the devsite, I tried creating an RSS Feed under System - Content Discover - RSS Feeds. In the new RSS Feed create section, under Content, there is a list to enable but nothing for Clubs. Is there a way to add Clubs to that Content list? Maybe that's too broad but Club topics, club events, and new club images? Thanks for any explanation of how to expand RSS Feed. On our live site, we use RSS feeds to send updates through Dlvr.it to our social media profiles.

Hello I'm fairly new to all this on the Commerce side. Let's say I want to set up subscriptions to my existing users. Is there a way to stop this required info when they check out? This is for an Adult Site and of course, they don't need to fill this kind of info, it's just for them to buy a subscription and get access to a VIP area.

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!

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…
