I would like to set up a scroll lock so the bottom ad in the right rail stays in view as the user scrolls down the posts. Any suggestions or recommendations for a programmer that can do that?

If I'm using Cloudflare what SSL do I need on my server? Previous to using Cloudflare I bought one from RapidSSL which is still active but expiring soon, I'm wondering would a free LetsEncrypt be enough considering its going through Cloudflare too now? Or does a paid one still have benefits?

Hello, I'm using the default "Twitter Timeline" block on my board. I have both bright and dark styles installed into my forums. The issue I have is that when using the dark theme, the background of this block is still white and way too bright, which is quite uncomfortable for the users. Is it possible to set: light color skin of the "Twitter Timeline" for the bright board theme and similarly dark for a dark the one? Any help will be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Hi all, We really like the look of the Invision Community home page navigation where the drop down takes up alot of screen and shows the sub menu in text boxes. Is this possible in 4.7.6 or something that was custom made? Many thanks

Hello, I am using an Activity Stream among a few other blocks on my board. On a PC, those blocks are positioned on the right side of the board. However, while I am scrolling on a mobile, they're being shown last after the forums list. I would like to show first the Activity Stream and then the list of forums on the mobile. How can I do that? I guess a custom css is necessary? Any help with it will be greatly appreciated! Greetings, Marcin

Hello, After weeks of testing, I am about to finally make my board live to the public. I will have to move it to another server and under new domain. I would like to ask here first though to avoid problems in the future. Steps I am planning to do: Moving files from public_html to its destination on another server. Changing domain name in the IPS Client Area. Changing domain name in the conf_global.php. And thats it? Should I also change some fields in the database? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I'm thinking of purchasing a 2nd license with Blogs and Gallery and I have a XenForo site that posts everything that is posted on the forum onto Twitter thanks to this app: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/dbtech-tweet-poster.6375/ I wanted to see if IPS had an equivalent and I found https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/9250-20-off-automatic-social-promotion-black-friday/ But that app has not been updated since 2020. Is Automatic posting now part of IPS native or is there another plugin I need, because I remember a few years ago I was a Moderator in a forum and I had to manually post each forum post to Twitter.

When attempting to update a plugin via the marketplace, it fails and I get the following in the system log: Cannot extract "Application.php" to "/home/public/applications/form/Application.php", setting file permissions failed Is this caused by the apache user account attempting to run chmod or a similar command on Application.php? Permissions on the existing Application.php file are 775, so it shouldn't be an issue with writing the actual file. Is this caused by the apache user attempting to run chmod on the Application.php file and then throwing an exception because it doesn't have permissions or is there another issue here?

Hello, I have an impression that the default IPS style I am using has lots of empty spaces on the board that are not necessary. I would like to condense the layout as much as possible on the main page, forums, blocks, etc. Does anyone know how to condense it as much as possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

HI, I am still working on my migration from 4.4 to 4.7 I have some members who have been around my site for YEARS. If I start them out with Newbie / Rookie badges they are going to flip! Is there anyway to assign the old points "or post count (whatever it was)" to this new system? so on day 1 these folks can start out with all sorts of badges and achievements? Thank you 🙂

1- I have a redirect from the old domain to the new domain... 2 - Some pages of the old domain still remain in the search engine... (page_name.html). Would it be correct to add in .htaccess: <files *.html> order allow,deny deny from all </files> (I do 403 because they are scanned by bots... Real users do not go to these addresses) No *.html pages inside invision? Maybe you can suggest a better option?

Hello, I've recently merged two Invision Community boards. I've noticed that posts on one of those have multiple "enters" typed in. Example: When looking it up in the database, it looks like this: " <p></p> <p> </p> <p></p> <p> </p> <p></p> <p> </p> <p></p> <p> </p> <p></p> <p> </p> <p></p> <p> abcd </p> <p></p> <p> </p> <p></p> <p> </p> <p></p> <p> </p> <p></p> <p> </p> <p></p> <p> </p…

Hi all, I have installed a test install and it's running fine on the local server, when accessing it not directly on the server, however on the same domain network, going to the subdomain displays an IIS page with all different languages, but if I add "index.php" onto the end of the address, it displays the website. I'm confused why going onto the same domain (without index.php) on the local server works fine but not otherwise. I'm wondering if I can force index.php on the end of the address when initially going onto the domain - but also keeping the friendly-urls enabled. Current HTACCESS file is straight from the IPS created file. <IfModule mod_re…

I realize this is an old topic BUT it is still open ended. We know that Invision has no interest in helping us backup or restore our site using a solution they provide so we are on our own. What does everyone use successfully to backup your Invision Community site and Restore? Don't say cloud since its stupid expensive and you are limited. Using a Hosting Provider you have so many more options then cloud. Let's keep this strictly... How do you Backup your site and then How do you Restore your site? Both but include Files and Database but not required to restore both. CPanel SUCKS for backups.. must be better options that don't cost a fortune.
