Hi, Does IPS use 'limited cloud' EU-based service centre for EU hosted communities? Or does IPS use an outside support centre to access the EU-based hosting? Thanks.

When you enable fluid view in the board index, you will get a beautiful fluid view of all topics in all forums. But even if you filter by "last updated", all pinned topics appears first. Is there a native way to hide pinned topics in fluid view and maybe I am missing it? I now this is expected, but let me explain my problem: in the board index, the fluid view will show all pinned topics, from all categories and subcategories, first. Imagine dozens of categories and subcategories with pinned topics with info that is relevant only in the context of the category.

We want to encourage new users to use their real name as their user name when registering, and to discourage or prohibit them from using an email address or just a first name. Where can we insert text to do so? Can we place restrictions on allowable user names?

I have a site that is niche specific but has some non-niche related forums (such as Politics). Is there a method for throttling posts in a given forum or set of forums OR perhaps earning/applying a credit system to post in a forum/set of forums? The issue is that these members do post quality site content at times, however they post an unbalanced number of lesser quality/unrelated topics. You may ask why even have the unrelated content, but it creates conversation and engagement that leads to posting site niche related content that is valuable. One marketplace add-on I found that could effectively throttle a set of forums is @DawPi's

Hi there, Is there a way, when adding an article, to display a manually curated list of related articles, files, downloads etc? I know you can use the tag system or organise things into categories, but I'm looking for something which would allow for a more specific and controlled way of linking and promoting content items which are very specifically related. For example, you might right Article A, and then alongside it have a widget/block which said "Other articles in this series: Article B, Article C, Article D... etc". Thanks.

Is it possible to allow others besides the OP to add a poll to a topic? Often, there is a call for a poll, but only the OP or Admin can add. I would like to have all members )or by member group) have ability to add a poll. Maybe I am missing the process. Please advise. Thanks all.

Hello, I'd like to resize the logo in the email wrapper: now is too large, despite it's 648x180px. From mobile it appears in this way: I tried to reduce the image size (it's a png); this is a 360x100px and as you can see the image appears blurred: Is there a way to have the email body large like in the second screen but without having the blurred image? I hope I was clear, I have some difficulty with English 🥲

Hi, Is it possible to moderate reviews and comments by user groups. Meaning: I want my paying members (specific user group) to be able to leave reviews on my posts and videos, but I don't want that reviews of my non paying members are automatically published (moderation). Is it possible to set up this ? Paying members (group 1): Can leave review and they are automatically published Non paying members (group 2): Can leave review but they need to be validated (by admin/moderator) before to be published. Thank you for your help. Olivier.

I'm not sure what has happened to my api tab all of a sudden? I am running the Super65 cloud managed plan and have made no significant changes to the site in the last 24 hours. This issue appeared out of no-where ~ 3 hours ago and is affecting my users. License key also seems to be having some issues? (possible root cause?) Attempting to take my license from this site, and pop it in my admin panel results in this message: (key deleted for safety)

I'm evaluating Invision to use as the forum software for an app/website I'm developing. I want users to register through the app/website and be automatically logged into the forum with their main app/website account, syncing their username/avatar/cover photos/etc when they're updated on the app/website. To what extent is this possible and what are best practices? Thanks. P.S. Would prefer to go the self-hosted route

My ad network asked me to add a script to the footer of my site. I went to the theme and added the script to the bottom of the "footer" document and saved it but I don't see it appear in my code in Chrome's dev tools. Is there some other place where I should add that script?

Hey all. Is there a way to display an awarded badge on the users forum posts, similar to how the Rank and Moderator emblem are shown? I only see them on the profile itself.
