Alerts fail to display if End Date is set
Bethanyrayne replied to Rodrigo Castillo's topic in Technical Problems
It doesn't work for me whether I set and end date or not. I would also like to as why when you select groups Guests are not included -
That is so true. It makes me laugh when I hear people say that life begins at 40, 50 or 60 its just not true. One thing young people should realise is the elderly are an invaluable source of life knowledge and experience and instead of being dismissive of them, listen to them. In my experience you learn something 10 minutes after you needed to know it. The elderly already know so take advantage of the resource.

A User Sent a Message Via the Contact Form Spam

You could use Clean Talk https://cleantalk.org/ which has been mentioned by many people on this forum as being effective. -
Hump Day: video streaming coming soon
Bethanyrayne replied to Jordan Miller's topic in Invision Community Insider
Are you asking us to believe that you communicate with the "worlds biggest brands, such as LEGO, Squarespace, SEGA, Mattel" through the medium of this forum? That's not the case is it because they will have their own account managers. -
@Chris Anderson I don't agree with you in any way on the above point. However, Invision should certainly be employing you in a PR role. Your attempt to spin a negative into a positive is impressive. I'm reasonbly certain that small and non commercial forums are not labouring under the illusion that by removing Invision's branding anyone would think they had built there forum from the ground up themselves. Your premise that the presence of Invision's branding with backlinks somehow supports development and updates is quite frankly laughable. Everyone paid for the product in the first instance and pays a license fee every 6 months in the second instance presumably for development and updates and an income stream for Invision. Very few forum owners would be willing to pay the massive $500 fee to have the branding removed. Only corporate and large business's would, if they even carry Invision's branding in the first place and let's face facts most development and updates will be done for their benefit anyway.

Yes, it's a great situation isn't it that is not mentioned when you buy. You are forced to Pay for the product Pay a 6 month license fee Advertise free for Invision Link to Invision free You have to pay Invision NOT to advertise and backlink to their site Win, Win for Invision of course.

Hump Day: ways to engage your community
Bethanyrayne replied to Jordan Miller's topic in Invision Community Insider
A thought, maybe development of the forum is going the wrong way or should I say going the wrong way for those of us who aren't corporate entities. A corporate wants to be all over social media its their advertising without the cost. They're NOT interested in making money from a community or running an information resource other than the sale of their own product(s) or service(s). In addition, if they have knowledgable people on their "community" they can outsource their support costs by using their members as UNPAID support staff thus relieving the burden and cost on their own organisation. I'm sure there are many other benefits for a corporate client. But aren't we as small/medium niche forums just playing the social media game? Trying more and more to integrate with, look like and offer the same things as social media. Are we social media wannabes? and is that the right way to go if the forum is to flourish and survive? We bend over backwards to make it easy to register on our forum using social media accounts, WHY? Do we think (I hope you have all thought) that the majority of individuals that can't be bothered going through the simple registration process wil turn out to be active productive members of your community? They just want to consume the content that you have shamelessly barred them from while they are a guest. Never mind though they'll just join your forum through a social media link that you enabled, consume what they want and be on their way. Thank you very much for giving me the solution to my problem, the answer to my dilemma and knowledge I didn't previously possess and ALL at no cost plus a ridiculously easy way to login through my beloved social media account. I've searched for answers to many problems on the web such as, How to? The answer to any of those problems has NEVER come from social media and has a lot of the time come from someone's forum and inevitably shared on social media which completes the circle of "my beloved social media". You are providing your competitor with valuable content. The main problem as I see it is, you don't value your own content, you suffer from an inferiority complex. In the battle for views and the fear of your content not being listed on the almighty Google or shared on social media you've hoisted the white flag, (nearly) given up, (nearly), thrown in the towel, (nearly) afterall why should anyone be interested in becoming a member of your little information rich forum when they have access to the social media giants who publish nothing but own everything? Invision could help with the listing of content by giving the likes of Google et al member status (as far as I'm aware they don't) so that content hidden from guests could still be listed. Of course they will say it's against the rules or it's too difficult or some other erroneous response. Google Analytics can tell the difference between a bot and a real visitor why can't you? The content is available to anyone as long as they become a member. Time has come to get ahead of the curve and stop walking in the shadow of giants. A little to the left, a little to the right or a completely different path, there is sunlight. Lets get of our knees! I'm not a writer so I hope you at least get the gist of this post and also appologise to anyone I might have offended. -
Hump Day: ways to engage your community
Bethanyrayne replied to Jordan Miller's topic in Invision Community Insider
It's very true, they'll spend hours evryday Twittering on Twitter, Facetiming an Facebook, InstaGratting on Instagram, checking how many strangers LIKED their post or shared it. etc. But really hard to get them to register on a forum. Even if they like the content, they'll just consume it and leave. -

While I'm here when I click through to view the topic I posted the URL has /topic/767-horse-racing-tips-31-december-2021/#comment-872 Why the #comment-872 on the end?

Just wondered why Google Analytics shows URL of a topic as /topic/767-horse-racing-t...-31-december-2021/?_rid=1 I am referring to the ( ?_rid=1 ) part. Anybody know?

If all you want is shared hosting that gives you control over such things as PHP.INI try Netfirms you also get free SSL through LetsEncrypt without the hassle of renewing every 3 or 6 months. -

The same applies to GoDaddy shared hosting. you can't change it and they won't change it. -
Created Categories doesnt Show in Forum.
Bethanyrayne replied to Xidir's topic in Technical Problems
This is probably very stupid on my part but did you copy and paste the name or title of the category from a web page? -
I don't have them enabled. As you say they are a distraction and very annoying.
