Hello, I currently move all threads that are "removed" to a sub-forum called "Deleted Threads" which is simply kept as a record. I'd like a modification that simply states, any thread in this FORUM ... has a customized message ... such as ... This thread has been removed by the Administrators. Right now, if someone goes to look at a thread, they simply get a "You do not have permission to view this topic", I'd like to create a specialized message for any thread in a certain forum to be altered. Is there a modification that has been created for this purpose? Thanks, BB

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.

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,

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

When I look at the group badges that you use here on invisioncommunity.com, they look pretty sharp to me. However when I upload images in the group settings, the badges in the postbit look either way too big (when I use images with a higher width/height in pixels, e.g. 500x200) or very blurry (low width/height in pixels, e.g. 50x20). How can I make my group badges look as sharp as yours?

This might be a stupid question, but I cannot find the correct setting in the AdminCP to control the Max File Size restriction in the editor's upload field. Where can I adjust this? Also, why is there no space between the current setting (24.41) and the file suffix (MB)? I want it to look like the Max total size info (24.41 MB instead of 24.41MB). Thanks in advance!
