So... ok...
I was like "oh I have a solution!" but Pages Media is apparently a bit clunky. I'm putting in a to do to improve it 🙂 
But, yes, you can upload media like that and it just creates a non-attached upload.

All support on the forums do get our staff's attention. If anything cannot be handled here then we sometimes convert them to a ticket via email.

Join us for our March release chat live!

Many clients need to integrate with external platforms. They might have a website or some sort of client login system. It's actually our most common customization we do 🙂 

Once I click "End Event" in the Live Topic it's within a minute or so.

Just to confirm: we added a way to see the Pages media full URL. It will be in the April release.

We are currently in the beginning stages of developing a Courses and Lessons application within Invision Community. This will only be available on our cloud services as a value addition.
We receive regular requests for Learning Management System (LMS) capabilities in Invision Community and the Courses app will start us down that path. 
The Courses app is not going to try to be a full LMS. Not trying to run a university here 🙂
But we do think there is value in offering basic LMS capabilities within a community context. Some features we are already doing:
Ability to create Courses with multiple Modules Modules can have multiple content items that a member can read/engage (articles, videos, discussions) Courses can be made optional or required. Required courses can be defined as "do this first" or literally required as in you must take course within X days of joining community. Badges/points awarded on various completion events. Reports for those who enroll and/or complete a Course. Reports can be exported to CSV. As this is early development we are open to ideas and suggestions.
How might you use Courses?
What capabilities would you want to see?

femvoxcommunity@gmail.com was blocked in our system because when you originally tested it did not exist. I have removed the block.

Nearly all use our email sending. I think you two are outliers 🙂

Do you mean the "From" address? Right now they are all from noreply@invisioncloudcommunity.com but the "on behalf of" address is your address.
We can look into it but the problem is the return path. We have to ensure that bounce/spam reports come back to us for processing.

Hopefully the new GraphQL system and future JS option will make the need for PHP unnecessary 🙂 
We are trying to get to the point where "writing a PHP script" will not be necessary even if you want to extend the system to do all sorts of custom stuff.

Having two Matts still sometimes scares me.

On our cloud platform, we handle email for you. To ensure email deliverability we have to keep our "score" high which means we are very strict about managing email sending.
Right now, our systems monitor when an email bounces or is reported as spam. For spam reports we immediately stop sending to that email to ensure a good sending score. For bounces, it depends on the type of bounce but they will eventually be blocked as well.
This is great for sending scores but sometimes emails get blocked when they should not. People might accidentally click mark as spam. Their email provider might be having technical problems one day causing bounces that then get resolve. The list goes on.
Bounce Management
We are adding the ability for you to view reports on bounced/complaint emails, take action on member accounts (purge them or mark them as no notifications), and unblock emails that our platform may be refusing to email.
A few notes on unblocking: we have to impose some limits of course. Spam complaint blocks can only be unblocked one time. If a second spam complaint for same email address comes in then no further sending will happen (ever). Bounce emails can be unblocked five times.
A further note on spam complaint emails: depending on the nature of the complaint, they may not be able to be unblocked. Sometimes a spam complaint comes in and is targeted to the source (your community) and other times is targeted to the platform (our entire infrastructure). If it's targeted at our systems globally, then you would not be able to unblock it. But then, who wants to keep emailing someone who marks you as spam anyway!
 
This new feature will be available on all of our packages except Beginner.

I wanted to let everyone know that we will soon be eliminating page views as a limiter on all our current offered packages.
Advancements in our underlying infrastructure have made it not as important to meter based on traffic.
