Hello, There is no option for cloning a topic? It sounds to me like a basic administrative feature. I need it, for example, to open daily fast poll topics.

Hey there! Brand new to the platform and currently playing around with the theming capabilities. Using the manual editor seems to work fine, but if I try to create a new theme and hit the 'magic wand' icon, the editor will load on the right but on the left, the community seems to have an issue rendering successfully: If I change some colors and then build the theme, those changes will be visible on the live community, but not seeing my changes live makes the editor very difficult to use. I've checked out a few of the videos of Easy Mode in use, and I don't appear to be forgetting to fill in an option - steps seem to be to create a new theme, hit th…

Hello, I would like to know if it's possible to add a watermark to the images uploaded in any topic/comment. I've located an option in admincp to add watermarks. Screenshot attached. I usually use the control+v to paste screenshots or the upload imagine function in every topic. Will this option add the watermark to both the uploads and screenshots? Will the watermark be added to old images or the new ones alone? Thanks a lot.

When a new member posts a new topic or post, it requires approval. So far what I've been doing is approve the new post, then I have to go to their profile and remove them from the moderation queue. Is there a way to only have to approve their first post, then new members are automatically removed from the moderation queue?

I tried to upload an image I had taken at a rowing event to the event's album using my Samsung Z Flip 5 phone. I was restricted to three sources: Camera | Camcorder | Voice Recorder See attached. I found one topic about uploading images one by one from an iPhone but no chat about an android. Have others had any success or know the tricks to making this work? Second question: has anyone succeeded in uploading multiple images from their phones to an album, perhaps using an external integration? Or are IPS users stuck with uploaded one image at a time, and .... only from an iPhone?!

Just watching the video that you put up about this and you showed how you could move the breadcrumb, logo etc. I don't have this option on my v5 beta. Has it been taken off?

Access permissions in this structure: Category (allowed) Forum (denied) Sub-forum (allowed) In other forum software I have used, access denied is not transferred from parent to child categories/forums. There are occasions where the content of a container should not be accessible, but access to the child container is allowed. It might be preferable to have open access to anyone who knows the URL without setting up a usergroup for access. It allows for retaining access but not have forums take large amounts of page real estate (a list of links might be preferable in some situations). Navigation to the space might b…

Hi, I want to send automated welcome emails which are to a specific user group, e.g. paid users who have purchased a subscription, with their user ID. I can't find any nice way to do this. Bulk email - would be a good option but can't schedule to run daily, and is not reliable due to running as a background task Alerts - this could work, but you can't use tags in content so I can't add the user ID Auto Welcome plugin - this is great but can't specify a specific group Language strings - can't change “email_reg_complete" as can't specify specific group and is very rudimentary Is there any other way or plugin you know of I can use?…

The upgrade of our site from 3.3.4 to 4.7.18 is basically done except for some individual application tweaks and one registration/profile completion issue. By our choice, we have taken the site offline while this issues are resolved. So why is it that I keep getting 404 error reports with Daniel's 404 management application ? This isn't an issue with Daniel's application. It's just weird how, if the site is offline, something is crawling through the files or clicking on the links. How can that be?

Could someone from the IC team delete all the used Tags from our Forums, Articles, Events, Blogs, etc. as we are on CiC and there are a ton of posts to manually delete them that would take days! We've decided to use just 2 tags going forward - BREAKING DISTURBING Thanks in advance!

I’m currently doing a test with Invision. My community is very forum oriented and I’d like to have the posibility of a forum thread being generated for blog reactions (per blog article). Is that a feature? If yes, how to put in the right settings for that?
