A user on my community brought this to my attention.  I think this may be intended behavior by Google chrome, but should be something reviewed for an overlay by IPS 

WebP images open in a new tab, and are not scrollable like JPG

Sample topic: 

1. When you do a move of your file storage, start with the smallest bucket in case anything goes wrong and the files get corrupted (eg. Blog covers). Theoretically, the transfer of file storage is a relatively easy move.  You simply change the file storage for whatever file type, and the system will download the files from the old location and then reupload to the new location. This is not a fast process. 

2. IPS only supports S3, they do not officially support S3 compatible.  You may potentially encounter issues when using S3 compatible when downloading attachments.  

Search for Wasabi to see discussions related to that storage method.  

3. S3 or S3 storage is cheap. Bandwidth is not cheap. Make sure you evaluate the total cost.

Send a PM to @All Astronauts

If he has time to poke around in IC5 Alpha, he has time to send you his S3 workbench.

You have a lot of javascript errors relating to content security policies, which is likely what is causing you problems

 

 

Interesting.  Okay.  I did add a WAF rule in Cloudflare, not aware of any changes that I made to my installation on the software side.  At least this gives me a starting point to investigate.  

Hi, that did not change anything 

This is not on the Invisioneer website, this is on my other website

Hi,

I'm not sure what's going on with my registration.  On the registration form, the Security check is showing a blank area.  

Users are being blocked from creating a new account, even after entering the Q&A challenge questions and other required fields.  

After you attempt to register:

I've self-audited the hCaptcha security sitekey and secret, they look fine.  

Please advise 

Hi,

I'm at a point in my community's maturity where I spend more time in the community ACP than the front-end investigating membership issues, checking saved reports, or auditing permissions.  

This is a minor suggestion but I think it would offer a huge efficiency improvement for admins who are short-on-time and big-on-problems (ha): to offer a recent search history from the ACP search bar.  

It could capture the last several searches or clickthroughs from the ACP search, such as:

• Member emails
• Member usernames
• Settings 
• Reports, etc.  

Be aware that you can define certain forums boards to be Question and Answer. 

This will change the templating of the section into a primary post and other comments that can be voted up and down and marked as the answer.  

Hi Chris,

Your forum structure is doable out of the box using native functionality.  

The difference between 1 and 1A is how much complexity of forum boards you want to present.  

For your requested use case, choice 1 is appropriate (and recommended) to keep things simple.  Choice 1A will only make sense once you're ready to grow and start offering multiple discussion boards per topic (eg. Internet Marketing forum where you offer 5 discussion boards covering Content marketing, Affiliate marketing, Influencer Marketing, etc).  

Given the simplicity of your board and the emphasis between free versus premium content, there are some native features you can really tap in to.  

- Forum colors and forum covers: you can use this to easily differentiate between free and premium discussions. 

- Our Picks: you can use this to promote and highlight snippets of premium discussions that will appear on your emails and widgets.

- Make sure to audit the "no permission" error messages and change the language string to something friendlier, such as a call to action to upgrade.  

1.  Will Clubs show the Page that contains the database category, or only the Database itself.  

The Page that contains the database often contains elements like filters or custom widgets.  Whereas the Database is, well, just the database template.  

2.  Show Club Content Areas - This setting is all or nothing to all content areas in all clubs. This is an overly broad setting.  

I can see how admins may want to show club Pages database in the Pages database, but perhaps not at all club nodes (or vice versa).  

3. News - This is more of an observation, but it's clear that the overwhelming common usage - albeit not the only one - is simply the need for News.  IPS may want to think about shipping a simple News function for clubs.  I have several clubs where the owners have used Blogs for several years now as a news system.    

4.  Search - Will members who don't have permission see search results, profile activity, and / or activity stream from club database fields?  

5. Choice of Databases - Will admins be able to choose which databases can be displayed in clubs, or is it all or nothing?  

I like the concept of integrating Database categories into Pages and its giving me some food for thought of building some foundational databases that any of my 40+ clubs can use.  

My skill level only goes up to Microsoft paint ha

The image probably contains a color profile that isn’t optimized for web use. There is usually not much you can do. 

Is there a way to check for that in the images metadata (like on Windows, when I view on image properties?)

I know this photoset is unusual from most other images posted to my website that are usually reposts from elsewhere on the web. These photos came directly from a photographer.

Thanks, will reply back with more details. 

Hi,

I like the concept of Alerts, but I find myself sending out the same Alerts over and over again.  

I'd like to suggest the ability to predefine Alerts, so I can quickly choose from a dropdown list.  

Hi IPS Support,

One of my users reported that a JPG photo uploaded to the Forums becomes very saturated.  

He sent a ZIP of the photos and I tested it myself by uploading the same JPG photo to a test forum tpoic.  I can confirm that the JPG does get saturated when uploaded. 

When I uploaded other random photos, they were not saturated.   

Link to topic can be privately provided due to personal content. Please advise

I'm already using saved actions. What exactly is the Alerts feature?

Here's the news blog on Alerts: https://invisioncommunity.com/news/invision-community/introducing-the-alert-system-r1254/

I don't think it's unnecessary, I'm constantly doing the same thing over and over. I think 50% of the moderation work can be automated.

FYI just in case you're not aware, Invision Community offers a feature Saved Actions for the Forums.  It's basically predefined 'moderator rules' and can be quite powerful. 

You can also define Alerts in advance, which I find to be useful if you're giving the same information (either positive or negative) to users.   

Redactor! 

Project Gutenberg! 

Has IPS ever considered ... 

Adding default widgets or alerts to their trial version for: 

- Where to go for help

- How to buy 

- Getting started guides, etc. 

You have a consumer that is incredibly engaged at this point of the sales funnel.  

Does the new editor tie into a Page builder update? 

Any leaks on what new editor you're using? 

Did you attempt to resize the thumbnails? 

Hi,

I am trying to enter in an address on behalf of a UK customer onto a new invoice so I can mark it as paid. The invoice keeps  giving me errors or refuses to accept the address

The address is confirmed by Google Maps.  Please advise.

I have a dumb question back to you.  

Is there any reason why you wouldnt / couldn't move only the articles posted by those 5 users first (to a temporary board), and that would leave all of the remaining articles for you to move? 

For any inverse move, there is the inverse of the inverse ... 

By the way, in no way am I trying to negate this feedback request.  Just thought this might be a tad faster in terms of execution than waiting for IPS. 

Agreed.

Lightbox on desktop looks nice.  

Lightbox on mobile is annoying.  

Hoping ehren can improve the UIX of browsing images. 

There needs to be some consideration given to different applications.  You don't want to allow zip or exe in regular posting, but you may want to allow zip in Downloads.  

By the way, I have the same broad issue.  I've seen a member, in their helpfulness, send the Mozilla installer packager executable to another member who - bless their heart - actually downloaded and installed an executable file from a random person on the internet.
