Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted October 17, 2024Oct 17 Hi. How do I set default forum view in V5? A search of ACP indicates that (like V4) it is here: Community => Forums => Settings But there is no setting for this.
October 17, 2024Oct 17 Author Thank you @Nathan Explosion. ACP is as flaky as ever then. It is going to take me a good while to find everything. It is disappointing that I cannot select grid at one level (home) and table for child containers - the option applies at all levels, no matter the level where it is selected. I was hoping I'd be able to do something a bit different with the layout.

Things have been moved that impact the design of the forum to the front-end designer area. 1 minute ago, Como said: It is disappointing that I cannot select grid at one level (home) and table for child containers - the option applies at all levels, no matter the level where it is selected.

However, version 5, is taking an approach to simplify things for your users and unify layouts. You can read about this in our version 5 blogs 🙂

But, you know, ACP search in V4.7 is very unreliable too. 🙂 10 minutes ago, Jim M said: You're more than welcome to suggest this in the feedback forum.

I think there is some utility in using a different layout for the home page (essentially, a list of categories), and then use child subcategories (where required) By the way - a bug - when I delete a forum (with posts), 'unread' posts persist, with no apparent way to mark as read, the 'last post' is still displayed (in table view), and the post count is not adjusted downward.
