Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted August 17, 20213 yr First of all: Love the new look! Yesterday our forum was updated to the latest version, as far as I know without any issues. Our members checked the new look and feel and two things they noticed. In Chrome, images in a post do not show (https://www.high-endforum.nl/topic/16737-uitnodiging-vergelijk-klassieke-draaitafels/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-527953). It does work in Firefox All of a sudden the bold topic titels of topics with new replies in the Actieve Topics module on our front-page have disappeared. Because this module shows the Topic Creation Date instead of the Date Last Reply (Why?) it is not clear which topic has a new reply and has not been read by the visiting member.

I think this was changed for performance reasons.
August 17, 20213 yr Author Those image are served over HTTP, not HTTPS, so they might get blocked for security reasons. I think this was changed for performance reasons. So Chrome blocks them but Firefox not? Make cense, from a Google point of view. Edit: You are right, just tested this. What is changed for performance issues? The Bold Topic Titles?

August 17, 20213 yr Community Expert So Chrome blocks them but Firefox not? Make cense, from a Google point of view. Edit: You are right, just tested this. What is changed for performance issues? The Bold Topic Titles? Chrome will indeed block insecure content, so if your site is running https and you have images referencing http, they will not show. You can prevent users from doing this if needed by switching on "Allow only secure images?" In ACP->System->Settings->Posting Opentype is indeed referring to the bold topic titles there.

Hello Marc, OK, I will leave the way we accept images as is. It is up to our users which browser they prefer. About the Active Topics module, is there a way to show the Last Reply Date instead?
August 17, 20213 yr Community Expert Hello Marc, OK, I will leave the way we accept images as is. It is up to our users which browser they prefer. About the Active Topics module, is there a way to show the Last Reply Date instead? Any changes to existing blocks would require customisation to achieve. There is no setting to change this at present
August 17, 20213 yr OK, I will leave the way we accept images as is. It is up to our users which browser they prefer. It’s not just a browser issue. The entire internet is moving to secure delivery of web pages. Eventually all your visitors will not see those images anymore or even worse: they might get warnings that these page are potentially fraudulent and the pages (not just the images) get blocked entirely for the users. In other words: You will have to move to secure content delivery at some point. In fact, you are already late to the party.

I'm not going to force the use of httpS images for now.
August 17, 20213 yr Author Opentype is indeed referring to the bold topic titles there. The other thing that is changed that when clicking to topic (title) it self it will not go to the latest post. Very annoying....
August 17, 20213 yr Community Expert The other thing that is changed that when clicking to topic (title) it self it will not go to the latest post. Very annoying.... This is now a per user setting: You can set the defaults for users who have no changed this in ACP -> Members -> Profiles -> When a member clicks an item link.
