I would like to implement group promotion rules based on the frequency of the member's last post. Specifically, I want a member from a certain group A to be moved to a group B if he added a post in the last 7 days (last week). If the member in group B does not post for 7 days, I would like him to be moved back to group A. Is this possible? What settings should be made for this scenario? How many promotion rules must be created? Thanks for any guidance!

My menu looks like this (note the podcast item): I would like to set that podcast item as the default application, but when I look in my Admin settings it isn't listed (see screenshot below). How can I make the podcast menu item the first thing people see when they enter the site?

I have a product called server costs. If the user purchases it, I add them to a secondary group. Is that secondary group supposed to show on their posts? I'd like it to.

Hello again Invision Team, So for some reason on some of my threads have blocks above and to the right. I have no idea how they got there and I don't want to see them. It appears I can add block by using the pop out panel in the left as an Admin, but I can't seem to remove the blocks that were mysteriously added. How do I remove them or manage them? Makes no sense. Thanks in advance! Jason

I am in the process of converting a homemade CMS to Invision and in the basics is moving an article table and converting the images. I have the images in a folder in the uploads folder and they show fine when displaying the articles. My issue is when I go to edit the article the image shows 0 kb and it requires me to upload a new image when I go to save the image. Are there any work arounds I can do so that the images are "properly" uploaded to Invision? Note that there are thousands of articles so I don't want to do this manually. I'd guess only the newer ones would need to be reuploaded and would do it manually if needed, just want to see if there is an …

I was playing around in the Main Manager area and was not able to make a customized menu name. In the options for Menu Item Type only for applications and such installed on the system. The other option is Configuration but that is for those who can access/see the menu. I have an application and want to rename the tab for that application but it can't be done within the system from what I can see. How can I do this if possible?

I have set up a club and can view it on desktop, but when I try to view the club on mobile it doesn't show up. Currently it's the only club I've created and when viewing clubs on mobile no clubs show up (even though it shows up on desktop). Any idea why that might be and how to fix it? I've had others try this on mobile and they get the same result.

Hi all, I'm stumped, I think I've set this up before but cannot figure out how to do this now. (I'm getting old, argh!)🫣 Here is my question: I like to reward those who make (any) donation by giving them access to a specific for everybody else hidden gallery folder. Is that even without plug-ins possible and if so how? Thank you in advance!

I'm not sure if this is a Feature Request or if this is something the Suite can currently do and I'm just missing something, so figured I'd ask. I'm playing around with a possible new landing page for my community - you can see it here: https://board.sonicstadium.org/home/ What I'm curious about is the Activity Stream widget at the bottom there (ignore how it looks, I've been playing around with the theme templates). It shows a preview of every piece of content that is listed in the stream, which is nice. But my community likes to make forum topics about spoiler-heavy subjects (i.e. new Legend of Zelda game, Succession finale, that sort of thing) and posts …

I am hopeful there is a setting for this and I'm just missing it. I have a community where everyone can add new content upon approval from a staff member or admin. My question is how to setup staff that when they submit new content it does not need to go through approval. Admins can do that already and I have made the staff a restricted Admin, however it is still sending emails and requiring approval when someone in the staff group submits new content. The staff group can however approve their own new content. Thanks

Hello Invision, I have members complaining that they want more than the default amount of reactions per day. I can't seem to find this setting anywhere to increase it. Is it even possible? Search turns up nothing. Thanks in advance! Jason

I would like to get the stats information about the "number of posters", "number of posts", etc. so I can feature some members. I don't want that information to be displayed in a sidebar. Is there somewhere, in the backend, where I could see those figures for a specific period of time? For example, who has posted the most in the last month, or what topic has been the most popular in the last week, etc. Thank you.

I will have to email my community about some news and evolutions. I made some tests with the bulk email system. It sends around 700 emails in 2 minutes. 5 to 6 emails per second. I think it can generate some problems. - It is a spammer speed degrading server reputation - Some hosting companies have hourly limits - As all mail arrives in a short period of time, there is an influx of connections to the site at the same time is the a way to manage email sending speed ? By example : 1 email each 2 seconds, or other...

Hi gang... I've only recently become Admin of our Invision forum site. I'm pretty new to all this and and still uncertain about a lot of stuff, but am learning things quickly. However, I see that an update is available to v4.7.10. We're currently running v4.7.9, and everything is running fine. I'll be honest -- I am terrified to hit that "upgrade now" button for fear that everything will come crashing down and I won't know what to do. I've searched, but can't seem to find a walk-through of the process here in the posts. I could definitely use a link to a walk-through or set of updating tips or, for that matter, even some encouraging words. <g>…

Running latest 4.7.10 Recently imported a small IPB installation (dating back to 2004!) Something has changed with the membergroup or profile settings, which I cannot resolve. Users who are not moderators or administrators can view the email address on profiles. Steps to reproduce 1. Login as a user in Member group. 2. Go to any other user profile. You can view the email address I've already checked membergroup settings and email settings, and could not find anything related to this.
