Thanks for you insight into all this. Sure hope in an update they fix this. Apparently I am the lone requester for this feature update.

Marc, I sure don't want 'people' to do this. All I am asking is in the admin CP when I go and view the list of PENDING invoices, there are many pages of 'guests' who for some reason are making an invoice to a subscription and will not enter an email address or subscribe, but simply make a blank invoice. All I am requesting is the ability for an administrator to be able to choose these 'guest' invoices that are blank on a page by ticking a check box in the list individually or a check box 'all' the invoices on a given page so an admin can delete all these invoices rather than having to do this one at a time which is tedious. These blank invoices clog the list of legitimate paid subscription invoices. If you want you can log into my CP and view for yourself the many pages of these bogus blank invoices. I don't see how this would be 'dangerous' to an admin. I don't see how that would create a problem to the guests who create these bogus blank invoices.

After investigating I looked under PAYMENT SETTINGS > CHECKOUT and clicked on the last two items requiring the guest to answer a question and to validate their email. Maybe this will stop all these bogus invoices? Nevertheless, it would be an incredible improvement to simply be able to have a tick box that allows one to check all the bogus invoices guest create on a page so I can cancel/delete an entire page.

Just discovered EXPIRED invoices which I wasn't aware of and this is what I see (36 pages of bogus invoices): It is way too tedious to cancel/delete all these invoices. Need to improve this please.

Just to be clear and redundant, let me explain how many of these bogus invoices are created by 'guests' (who knows why they are compelled to do this?) since December 10, 2024 (30 days since I last deleted all the bogus invoices, so it is now time to unclog this mess). Let me show you what happens according to the instructions I get. This is a screenshot of all the PENDING invoices (203 invoices): So let's take the first invoice on the list, invoice #2351 and open it. this is what I see: If I click on DELETE an individual invoice I get this warning message: That's a scary message. Does it mean if I delete the invoice there is still some record of it somewhere else? I haven't a clue. Is it absolutely necessary to cancel the invoice before deleting it? If not, then, why this scary message that it is so important to cancel the invoice? So then, if I click on CANCEL the invoice it then goes into the CANCELLED category which if you ciick on this button, I then see this: Then if I open the invoice again or click on the far right down arrow (options) I can then DELETE the invoice. This is tedious. I again, request that we have a tick button at the top of the list of PENDING invoices so I can choose the entire page of 25 pending invoices and then cancel/delete the entire list on that page, and then go through the other eight pages and do the same. This would be less tedious. Or does anyone have an idea how to prevent these bogus invoices from being created by guests?

We are only using subscriptions for guests/inactive members. It is so tedious to first CANCEL a guest invoice with no email address or contact info, payment method, etc. They are blank invoices that simply say 'guest' It would be nice to have a tick button for the entire list of a page of invoices to CANCEL and DELETE both at the same time. I sure hope you build that into version 5. Now I have to cancel and delete pages of these blank invoices that clog the legitimate invoices of PAID subscriptions.

When guests subscribe and create an invoice without entering an email address, then a huge number of PENDING invoices are created. In order to delete an invoice there is this warning created that says it is recommended to cancel then delete the invoice which requires two steps to delete. It would be nice to to have a choice to do both steps in one click. Also, there is no way to cancel/delete multiple pending guest invoices which would save a HUGE amount of time canceling/deleting these useless pending invoices with no email address or information since these guests simply spend the time to create a useless invoice that clogs the subscription invoices with hundreds of useless invoices. Is there a work around anyone can figure out that would stop guests from doing this? Would appreciate any help.

Still doing it today

When a guest subscribes and does not enter an email address an invoice is shown in the list with the title PENDING. There is a two step process that requests first cancelling the invoice and then deleting it from the list. This is a tedious and unnecessary process. Request a tick box that allows us to select as many invoices that need to be cancelled and deleted which would make it a lot easier to delete the huge number of guests who do this. Please, please add this feature.

I found it. I just forgot where to look for the number of views of a post. They are found on each individual post in a forum category. It helps to see what posts are popular to guests.

In the past I could view the number of views of a particular post. I have been somewhat out of the loop for the past several months (or longer) and haven't checked in a while and now this feature is missing. Is there some way to restore this feature or is there a different method to find the number of post views?

This issue is still going on. Guests can create an invoice with absolutely no contact info. This floods my invoices with PENDING invoices which have to be deleted (see screenshot). Since we can't force guests to pay first before an invoice is made, in a future upgrade could IC please allow multiple invoices to be deleted, i.e., a check box that selects all the invoices for a page and then delete them all? I have two pages of invoices that have to be deleted one at a time, and having this feature would make it a bit easier to delete them all. Also the ability to delete multiple EXPIRED subscriptions guests create that flood that category and need to be deleted. These bogus invoices are just a nuisance.

Thanks!

Updated Chrome on Mac to Version 119.0.6045.159 (Official Build) (x86_64). When going to our website I got this error (see attached screenshot) How do I fix this? Screenshot11-25-23.pdf

opentype, you are so helpful. I feel like a child when you explain such a simple solution to this glitch. There is so much to know about keeping a website hosted on invision community, especially for a non profit organization. We simply don't have any volunteers to help me in this web hosting. I am glad Android users don't have to worry about switching from Apple's reading view vs whatever. We are barely hanging on trying raise enough donations to keep paying Invision Community's hosting fees. We have enough to get through 2024 but we can't get subscribers to post. They want rosacea data but they don't want to post at all. Weird. Twenty years ago it was so different, but now the younger rosacea sufferers are so different. They don't like to post in forums an prefer the social media sites which are mindless and difficult to search for research. We keep plugging away to trying to figure out how to attract rosacea sufferers.
