You can check with @TSP, he can probably help with Norwegian translation.

If you can reproduce on default theme, send in a ticket. Also, do you have any custom blocks?

Personally I agree. I find that occasionally stirring the pot helps stoke user engagement! I would recommend that you go with my first suggestion, which is what I implement on my community. You still offer thumbs down or negative reactions, but that those negative sentiment reactions don't impact user reputation. I had two members start a reaction war last year. (Most activity ever from those users 🤣!). When I explained that they were welcome to continue disliking each other's content but it would have zero impact to each users reputation, it petered out pretty quickly. If your goal is peace in earth and goodwill towards men, the second route is probably better 🕊️.

Only information about the multi-communities app is currently available. To stay up to date on further news, be sure to check out the Invision Blog where future news will be posted. The team is excited to continue development on the mobile app and iron out all of the bugs.

Voting is only available on Q&A forums. As Nathan suggested, you would need to go custom if you wanted the functionality in regular discussion forums.

If you're upgrading from 4.4.x to 4.5.x with storage on Wasabi (or another S3 compatible bucket), you must update your plugin S3 Compatible Downloads: Thank you to @Martin A. and @All Astronauts

Installing a theme and installing a language pack are both common tasks that you can do yourself. (The ACP supports both tasks by admins, and it's very easy). If you need custom work, you can check out the list of Providers in the menu. You may want to contact @A Zayed, for example, as someone who is more familiar with Arabic work.

@breatheheavy Two possible solutions: 1. One immediate fix is to change the reputation score per each reaction to only positive or neutral. For example, if you have a Downvote or Dislike reaction, mark the reputation as Neutral. This way it won't count against the actual reputation score of each member, even if users go downvoting. 2. A longer-term solution, and perhaps more beneficial to the overall health of the community, is to only offer positive sentiment reactions to begin with. The biggest platforms in the world, from Reddit or Facebook to MeWe to Amino Apps, only offer positive sentiment reactions.

@MIXOH File is compatible with 4.5. Running it live on my board.

There are at least two Forms applications in the Marketplace which could potentially be used for this. You could also create your own Pages database if desired. You could either list the terms directly and have users re-type their name / date as a digital signature. Or you could offer a PDF form to download, sign offline, then reupload before submitting the form.

Your best bet is to switch to a theme developer who has a history of several years with the community, and who will update over major versions. 4.5 is one of the larger theme changes.

There are two apps: Invision Community Invision Communities. They both have the same logo, so it's very easy to confuse them. The first one is the "white label" version for InvisionCommunity.com. The second one is the one for all communities, and is already populated with several live communities.

Hi @jaeitee given that you have an existing Invision Community installation: 1. Prepare the existing Invision Community installation by making sure it's on the latest version. Same thing with your vBulletin installation. You also want to create a test copy and a back-up copy at every major step. 2. You should make sure that your membergroups are set-up correctly for the 'combined' installation, since you will need to map those permissions during the import. 3. Run some test migrations if needed. Some other notes: 1. You can check out this blog post that I wrote with real experiences of vBulletin clients switching to IPS. The members that I interviewed are actually all real and active members of the community. (One of them was active ... 18 min ago!) 2. In terms of community strategy, you want to communicate, communicate, communicate. Invite over your superusers in a private access test; send out blast emails, send out notifications, share screenshots, send instructions, etc. Then repeat again as you get closer to the actual migration. As Rhett mentioned above, any accounts that share the same email will be merged, so don't be afraid of inviting over members to preview and acclimate themselves to the new community. 3. This is totally up to you and how much of a hoarder you are 🙂, but you might want to think about cleaning out your vBulletin database. Delete old topics, remove outdated instructions and how-tos, revert to vanilla, etc. 4. For the migration itself, you can ask IPS to do it as a paid service, a third-party provider do it as a paid service, or yourself. For list of third-party providers (and then filter by Data Conversion): https://invisioncommunity.com/third-party/providers/

There is a plug-in in the Marketplace for Who Viewed the Topic. It's a more simplistic version of what you're asking for, but you may be able to work with the developer.

Those options are not available for the Announcement feature.

This won't be available out of the box. You would need some customization. If you're attempting to create a questionnaire, I would suggest as a workaround: - Google Forms (yes, really! It's easy, free, and contains lots of settings.) - Application Forms in the marketplace, such as the one by @Fosters. These apps are designed specifically for user input and tracking.

The Databases function is more like an Excel worksheet than a MySQL database, if that makes sense. It is entirely a surface / user-level database to input and display data, not anything that connects with a back-end MySQL.

A single database is easier to manage. But as @opentype mentioned, you only need different databases if the entire structure and fields will be different. If you need custom layouts, I do recommend @opentype for custom work. He's our community's Pages guru.

1. What's the harm in actually having locked topics with lots of followers? Just curious, are you concerned about the performance impact (or are you slightly OCD like me and you just want to spring clean your community every single day 🙂.) 2. What about locked topics that become unlocked and the conversation then continues?

There's no in-built feature. As a workaround, you can include a Club Calendar (or simply post on your Community Calendar). The Club Leader or Moderators can set beginning and ending dates, and then use those to trigger warnings for themselves.

As a preface, I don't speak for the IPS development team - I'm a volunteer community advocate so my words are my own. I personally appreciate a well-crafted paragraph that ebbs and flows, with a topic sentence, supporting evidence, and a concluding remark. There's an art to written communication, and punctuation and form can elevate the delivery of the communication. However, I don't think anyone can argue that the delivery of common communication is the responsibility of the software. The software contains abundantly reasonable formatting with support for universal typesetting input, and if the user chooses not to use a space bar or return key, then I'm not sure how that burden shifts to the software. You would be better served sending a gentle personal message to the offending user encouraging him to use browser tools like Grammarly or Microsoft Editor to help him with his grammar, spelling, and style checking.

There is a Duplicate Member application in the Marketplace from @CodingJungle that you can investigate.

This really goes beyond the purpose and use of Invision to manage online communities. However, here are several suggestions that can help you: - There is a private LMS available by @Adriano FariaFaria - You can talk to @kmk who has talked about using Invision for e-learning - You can do SSO integration with WordPress, and then use WordPress plugins like LearnDash.

There are several chat applications in the iPS Marketplace, including Babble by @CodingJungle

I 100% agree, which is why I privately commissioned a plug-in "Compact Streams" from @Spanner over a year ago. He can probably privately sell for a very modest price. I killed all of that junk on mobile. No stream title, no stream description, no stream option, no stream filter, no condensed or expanded. Five lines of junk, junk, junk. Communities that are 50%+ mobile should be auditing all of their top pages on mobile to evaluate the user experience.
