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?

On the admin side of the user's profile there is a Remove Followed Content button. What does that remove? Hopefully, it just means that the member will cease following all content, correct? It does not 'remove' any content...? 🤪

How can I configure my Downloads to work like here on IPS? Guests can't purchase: Mine shows the BUY button: I removed the permission to guests download files, but still, it is showing the button. The only way I found was by disabling registration, then the new account option won't show up on the checkout page: But that's not a good solution. Thank you.

Hello. As far as I understand we can allow guests to upload images to the gallery but not create albums? How is this or am I missing something? Seems really strange to me that guests can only upload images but not be able to sort them into albums.
