I've written an article in Pages, in the default "Articles" Page, however I can't seem to write any HTML in the WYSWYG so how can I use header tags such as h2 for my article titles? I know I can create HTML pages but I want to use the Articles page with the WYSWYG editor because it has the layout I want (with the author card at the top, comments at the bottom...)

I have one main forum and several less important forums. Users should almost always post in the main forum. When someone clicks Start New Topic on the home page, a forum selector opens. Is it possible to bypass that forum selector and instead automatically create the topic in the main forum? Thanks!

Hello, When I'm on the forum and receive a new notification, a black banner appears at the bottom of the window. Problem is, I have a footer ad that is covering that part of the window, so the banner is hidden behind the ad. Is it possible to move the banner at the top of the window instead? Or is it possible to change the banner's z-index so it appears on top of the ad rather than behind? Thanks!

Hello, I have quite a few blogs that are updated automatically through RSS. If you do not specify a Featured Photo, the current default is this: Is there a way to change, or set a default "featured photo" for each individual blog? There is already a cover photo for each blog (see below). Ideally, I would like to be able to use each blogs cover photo as the featured photo for each individual blog entry. Thanks!

Recently moved from another forum software to Invision and I love it for the most part. I do however miss the behavior of the bell / Notifications pop-up menu and want to see if there's a way to implement it in my Invision Community board: If I had for example 3 notifications, the bell would have the number 3 and show 3 highlighted notifications in the pop-up menu. If I then clicked one of the notification that took me to a new post or a new private message, or if somehow I read the corresponding post or private message, then that specific notification was no longer highlighted, and the bell would show the number 2 with only 2 notifications highlighted. …

I need a sidebar in order for ads to be automatically displayed in the sidebar. However the only way I've found to create a sidebar is to open the builder and create a small widget (a small text widget). Now I have my small text widget and the ads automatically shows up below. But I would prefer to not have that small text widget at all. Is there a solution? Thanks!

Hi, I am wondering if this is possible? I made a secondary group with the color yellow but the main member group being white is still what showed. Is it possible to change an individual member's color without changing the whole group? Or is it possible to make a secondary group's color to show instead of the main one?

I'm looking to include a rating custom field in one of my Pages database, for reviews written by our site staff (not user reviews). According to the official Invision Community guide, it should be an option: But I'm not seeing it on my install. Was this removed in a recent update (and if so, why)? If it's moved somewhere, it'd be great to know where it is.

Is there anyway to make clubs have restricted viewing to just the club members and not to all the community members? I want to set up a specific user group but I only want specific users to see the posts in the club. Thank you 🙂
