Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted May 23, 20222 yr Am I missing something in the default theme? Is there a way to set an image for the grid view? I'd love to have these blue boxes replaced with images of their respective subject matter.

You can only set an image for a forum but not a category. Because there are so many brands that own other brands in the auto industry, we put them under their parent companies so we don't have a forum list 50 miles long. Thanks for the tip though.

May 23, 20222 yr Correct... from the screenshot you posted above, Brand Discussion cannot have an image. However Ashton Martin and BMW Group can. You can even assign them to sub forums such as under General Motors. I have done something similar with my own site. In my example, I have images for Movies, Music, Opera, etc. The only thing that does not have a card specified is the master Media and Entertainment category itself.

May 23, 20222 yr Author Hmm... I'll fiddle with it. BMW Group is a category that doesn't allow posts, the BMW Group posts go into the BMW brand forum for simplicity sake because we rarely post about the Group. It looks like I may have to change them to discussions from categories and then make them admin post only.
