As the title says, I'm unable to find an option within the ACP to allow my users to view their own content behind a permission-restricted discussion where their topic may have been moved to. Is there any settings anywhere where I could have missed to possibly enable this sort of functionality? Thanks, 1B0Y

Maybe the instructions are not updated? When I create the new app in facebook to add facebook login to my community, the process is quite different than displayed in the Invision instructions. I havent been able to configure facebook login. All others (Linkedin, Twitter, Google) work just fine. Help appreciated.

In AdminCP-->Appearance--> Icons & Logos there is an image upload for Application icon: It says the minimum size should be 512px x 512px, So I have donde 1024px x 1024px, and 1536px x 1536px, and... 1) Icon looks fine on homescreen... But when I hit the button, there is a logo screen that appears for a couple of seconds where my logo keeps looking blurry, it is a .PNG saved in .AI at 300 ppp The Invision community app logo looks just fine, so I am thinking I must be doing something wrong? Help appreciated.
