Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted January 21Jan 21 With the UK Online Safety Act coming into full force in Mid-March 2025 I would like (well, not like at all but feel it sadly necessary) to ask that Invision Community add the admin ability to easily review the contents of Private Message attachments.Without this facility I can only image that PM attachments would have to be switched off.Thank you.
January 21Jan 21 I’m unsure what this safety act says, but in case of issues, if a user reports a reply in a message, the moderator is added to the message’s user list and can review everything.Would that be enough? 🤔
January 21Jan 21 Author Yes, technically you can but all that does is list file names and not display the content unless you manually download file 736383837.jpg etc to your local computer.Multiply this by say a backlog of 11,000 attachments, each one you would have to click on and download and it would take days to review them all.Hence the request for new functionality for Invision Community.
January 24Jan 24 You can use this third-party app to view private messages. He has it both for v4 and v5.

January 28Jan 28 Author @sound thank you for that. Using the images filter I’ve now been able to complete a review of thousands upon thousands of images going back over 20 years.From the review I am happy we’re OSA compliant on that front.
