  1. Again, I don't think this is a feature that needs to be added to forums. This is a feature that needs to be added to pages. Pages has its own thing and I think that Topics need to be unique to the users and SHOULD NOT be shared by multiple people. Pages articles/records, on the other hand, should have this capability especially on large sites where you want content submitters but not necessarily a million moderators. Its like "group blog" adjacent but at the article/record level of pages where you can add those that are permitted to make changes to the article that are non-staff members. So: I own an article but I need you @Jordan Invision to be able to edit the article because you're a person that knows about the subject/article/company/listing/thing that the article is about. I add you as "additional editors" or whatever you want to call it. Now, even though you're not a mod/admin you have the "can edit" functionality on my article, you can click edit and make changes as needed but I still own the article. Then, lets say you are no longer the business on this article and or no longer interested in updating it. I can remove you and add someone else to edit said article. That mod only works if you are also using the "account switcher" mod and you allow people to create accounts that multiple people can log into. Which is technically the only solution for what I'm asking for at the moment but the account security there makes me cringe.
  2. I'm not sure I was particularly clear in my question. What I mean is explain how to earn each rank. I don't mind hidden achievements where its a secret to get it, those are fun too but like rank 1 was it create at least one topic and post in ten others? Something like what you see on any other achievement system: I love this by the way.
  3. Is there a page that explains ranks? Because I’m 13 of 13 and all I can tell is it’s because I have a million billion posts like the old post rank system. Makes me sad if that’s all I’m rank 13 for.
  4. No because there is no “current forum” as fluid view is basically displaying all forums once.
  5. I don’t want this suggestion to get diluted! Please!! I am looking for the ability to say “this is my article but I trust person1, person23 and person 1007 to make changes” and from there they have the same rights as the owner to make changes to the article. I’m not exclusively talking about wiki editing in which doesn’t have a real owner and all members can edit. Wiki editing has a mess of its own that needs to be solved first before this feature is permissible.
  6. This is because you're using fluid view. Fluid View doesn't have a true "container" so it won't be able to display that information.
  7. I’ve complained before that wiki editing shouldn’t have an original author, or owner, at all. While the authors/editors should be in the editing history the listing itself should never truly have a single author. It should be possible, especially in pages, to set multiple owners. You see this behavior on major websites such as Microsoft where the people that have contributed/have ownership of the listing are listed as “contributors”. I would like to empower my users to allow secondary editors to some of the contributions so those people also have the ability to edit their content. Sort of like adding a moderator to a forum, do it at the listing level in pages.
  8. Now I know what you’re already thinking!! Now bear with me a little to explain. I want a sort of moderation forum (instead of PMs and warnings) to notify members of issues. Not all of my moderation actions require penalization and well.... it’s double the work for a moderator to PM someone and then notify the rest of the staff that they did it. And what if two people jumped on it? It can become a nightmare. I would personally love it both on the forums and pages level to where you can basically assign a topic as someone(‘s) and only those that it’s assigned to can see it in that category/forum/etc. it would cut down on double moderation in some places and allows for a conversation when it’s not a penalized action. “Hey you didn’t follow the rules for submission for this section, please review” is not a “warning level” action but it is an actionable item for a moderator who then must bring it into a private (unseen) venue to discuss and conclude it. What this invite forum/category would allow for is, a way to communicate with more than one person regarding a sensitive topic in a means that all moderation staff could see it. Think of it kind of like a moderation category. This leads into another idea but I’ll post it separately.
  9. You could also just change it to show it under the first post. It looks better overall IMHO.
  10. Its the way discord handles share images. If you want something smaller you will affect your other sites (like facebook and whatnot). What I recommend is actually uploading an image in the first post. Or if this is pages, actually using the "Record Image" as it will replace your logo because if you look at the OG image, that is IPS's sharer image: https://dne4i5cb88590.cloudfront.net/invisionpower-com/monthly_2019_09/og.jpg.5e6c57e8dfa140ce4ac18f1e757d3b45.jpg
  11. The Matt's are multiplying like the Marks! Welcome @Matt Finger
  12. 😭😭😭😭 Well this didn't work as intended. I intended to post 50 of the same emoji and well... I'm just not that cruel to scroll bars but not as simple as you'd think which just makes me more sad.
  13. By all means when you use a date it is in "locale" not server time. Are you using Date fields? Or are you trying to do this in a post?
  14. I answered this here: I can offer my condolences to a friend in a discord chat with a sad emoji without making them feel bad that all I have to say is "I'm sorry". When it comes to bad faeces that happens in someone's life there isn't always "words" that can convey the empathy that you feel for them. I'm going to throwback to when I admitted why I disappeared in December and had a complete breakdown and was upset about a really faecesty update announcement that I couldn't install. I don't think I need to bring back that particular hardship but I can say, save for 3 people that actually replied (1 IPS person and 2 members I think) most of the people that responded were exclusively in reactions, which I actually appreciated significantly more than them replying to the thread with "I'm so sorry Morrigan I hope everything is okay". I knew, from the reaction, that they felt for me and they wished me the best. In fact those reactions were almost more meaningful to me in the moment. There is a significant difference between empathy and sympathy (I've been taught that through years upon years of tech support). Empathy means you feel for the person and their plight while sympathy means you feel bad for their plight but don't understand it. For the most part people that are empathetic/understand what you're going through and may have meaningful ways to express how they feel to you and give you great words of wisdom or at least a true kind word that may help. Someone that feels sympathetic for you won't have those words but they will understand that you are going through a rough time. The Sympathetic ones won't have anything meaningful to say but they can certainly say "I support you" with a simple reaction. To me, sad, was never a negative reaction. It was always a sympathetic reaction. "I know its hard but hang in there boo" Follow Back Friday, its a reference to a Twitter trend To The Old Man, at this point I think the Meow is more of an ironic reaction now lololol. Quick edit: This thread in particular: There are many posts in it that can do with a "sad" reaction that don't require empty platitudes of "I'm sorry" in it. Otherwise this whole thread would be filled with apologies about how negatively the virus has affected people's lives. Being able to share your trouble and get support without in-genuine apologies is SUPER important in a thread like this.
  15. Sorry, the code above is pretty CSS heavy. You may want to change it to this: {{foreach $value as $img}} <a href='{$img}' data-ipsLightbox data-ipsLightbox-group="other_images_{$record->_id}" title='{$record->_title}'><img src='{$img}'> </a> {{endforeach}}
  16. Turn off quick register and require fields in the profile. I'm not sure you can require commerce fields unless you're requiring that they subscribe/purchase a product upon registering though.
  17. I reported that as a bug to IPS ages ago @Sonya* I don't know if they plan to fix it.
  18. And I replied to that. The only difference is whether it is the front end editor or the HTML/CSS editor.
  19. I think you're making this far more complicated than it needs to be. .cForumGrid__description, .cForumGrid__last { display: none; }
  20. @Meowcious Use something like this: {{foreach $value as $img}} <a href='{$img}' data-ipsLightbox data-ipsLightbox-group="other_images_{$record->_id}" title='{$record->_title}'><div class='pb_other {{if $counts == 5}}ipsHide{{endif}}' data-background-src='{$img}' style='background: center top; background-size: cover;'> </div></a> {{endforeach}} Not exactly as this is super custom for my site but it should cycle through them and show them. You can see an example as the images under the main image here: https://rpginitiative.com/pb-directory/
  21. The difference is the front end editor or the manual HTML editor.
  22. Something like this: https://metrobeyond.com/ ???
  23. I don't miss the confused reaction but I do miss the sad reaction. We are living in a tumultuous time right now with a global pandemic, and more. You don't always have the words to express that you are feeling for that person's difficult time and seeing a bunch of empty "I'm so sorry"'s in a thread I think is just as damning as no one replying at all to someone's rough time. The sad reaction gave people a means to offer support, show that they read the post without replying with an empty platitude that means even less than a supportive reaction.
  24. That could be accurate. It may need to be a feature request that there is something custom there. I know that in the next version trial versions like this should be less necessary as it will have a proper trial subscription. I'd actually say to tag @Jordan Invision for more clarity on possibilities.
