Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted March 29, 20232 yr I have a major issue with spam, as numerous spammers use the "About Me" section in profile fields to add spammy URLs. Is there a way to disable this feature for new users?
