Hello I have to create a website for a club but only registered members will be able to see the content. Maintenance mode is very practical but problematic because when I need to update the website I have to block the site with htaccess or modify the DNS. My second problem is that even if the website is in maintenance mode, the robots manage to index content that has never been made public, which is very problematic. My question is how to create a private community that is only accessible to members without activating maintenance mode who blocks the future member's ability to pay for the subscription?

Hi, I am new here and just starting my forum on invision, complete novice so everything is taking me a long time to learn but I am getting there. One thing I want to do is add a full page width logo at the top off my forum. When I got onto logos in settings it only allows me to change the favicon? Maybe I am missing something? Il share an example off what I mean of what I would like to have. Thanks

The app development team is asking where the hitory of PM strings of messages are stored. Apparently, they're not finding it in the Invision documentation given to them. Any help is most appreciated! Thanks!

Is there a way to copy clubs? We have one type of club with an identical layout and I'd like to kinda copy/paste the layout (topics tabs, Events, etc) and header content to avoid needing to go through all of them one at a time.. Thanks, and a great day to all.

Hello, on my website when attempting to login, it asks for "display name or email address" despite only email addresses being able to work. Is there a way to edit out the Display Name portion? I have already set the login in the admin cp to only allow email address login.

Hi! I have a site hosted through the cloud solution here and I got my domain with an email package. I vaguely remember seeing that changing the name servers on the domain would lead to issues with the email server associated with the domain & I think I'm running into that now. I can't seem to get any inbound emails. What's the best way to get this resolved/where can I put in a ticket to get some of that sorted? Thanks!

In this morning's Wall Street Journal there is an article about the damage incurred by the cyberattack to United Health Group. Certainly, this is a US issue but cyberattacks can happen to everyone. What can we do, as both self-hosted licensees and what can Invision Community do for cloud customers to protect our databases? I realize Invision Community cannot be responsible for the safety and security of self-hosted licensees but perhaps the staff might offer a list of 'you should be doing' settings' or best practices. Has anyone been the receiver of a cyberattack? What hapapened? How did you recover? Were you forced to pay up?

Hello, I run a forum in which the same subcategory names are repeated and only the main section name changes. Therefore, I would like to be able to set the URL with the entire structure. For example, address: https://forum.skodahome.cz/forum/27-podvozek/ And address: https://forum.skodahome.cz/forum/305-podvozek/ Or address: https://forum.skodahome.cz/forum/91-podvozek/ etc... It is then difficult for search engines to determine the exact url where to send the user because it does not know to which car model the query belongs. I would like a url like this: https://forum.skodahome.cz/skoda-octavia/podvozek/ https://forum.skodahome.cz/skoda-s…

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!
