Similarly to the Helpful button, I'm really looking forward to this change for a myriad of reasons. Brilliant thinking on having it work on a forum-by-forum basis. Since that's the case, would it work with club forums as well? Thanks for everything! ❤️

The subforums aren't required for clubs to show. I have 12 (main) forums and I have the club checkboxes hidden via CSS. I have all the club forum content show in fluid mode if a member switches to that. I'm using the Combined Fluid Mode for categories though which is accessible for guests. Here's an example of the General Entertainment category. Reading your next post, this sounds a bit above my technical knowledge though without seeing it, but if you want to send me a DM, I wouldn't mind chatting it out and seeing if I can lend a hand.

The 'Helpful' option is one of the features of Invision Community 5 that I'm most looking forward to. I expect it to give a lot of communities a nice organic boost. I love the implementation. 🔥 Once again, great work!

Hey @WebCMS. I'm using the Fluid Mode as an option for members, Club forums included. If the club forums aren't displaying, it may be disabled in the Admin section. Community > Clubs > Settings > Show Club Content Areas > Enable 'Throughout the community'

Thank you for sharing the fix, @Stuart Silvester

I was hoping that was the case and it wasn't anything on my end. Thank you for the update! One other question if you don't mind. Would re-uploading the files from the stable version be the correct method to roll back? Thanks again! 🤘

Hey everyone. I updated to the recent Beta and started receiving an error on all of my page articles Example Page: https://www.fanclubs.org/articles/entertainment/movies/movies-like-the-town/ Beginning of the log: Outside of disabling plugins and applications and clearing the cache, I'm not sure what else to try. I appreciate any help anyone can provide. Thank you.

It's a better user experience, easier navigation, quicker to access content, requires less scrolling, has a much-improved mobile experience, showcases helpful replies, and so on. From my point of view, it's very SEO-friendly.

This looks absolutely amazing!

I'm a big fan of the SEO tools in place, but I'll jump in. There's one small nitpick and one feature that would be a big help for me. 1. When a URL changes, custom Page Titles don't follow. They show in the adminCP under the previous URL. 2. I would love to be able to create my own Title Templates for specific URL Paths. I realize that might be a bit of a niche request, however. 3. Clubs (Non SEO) - I'm using an unsupported plugin for categorizing Clubs. If there was a way to categorize or organize Clubs natively, that would be immensely helpful. Can't wait to see what the team is cooking up.

I know absolutely nothing about development, but this has been a fun follow. Thanks for the continuous transparency and updates as things are being finalized.

Unfortunately, it's still not working for me. Hopefully it magically starts working again, soon. 🤞

That's my fear. Twitter has recently disabled embedding on Substack, so it wouldn't surprise me if they're expanding that rollout. I'm hoping that's not the case, though.

Thanks for chiming in @Ryan Ashbrook. That tool that you linked appears to be working fine for me 🤔

Hey Jim, thank you for flagging this. I'm hoping this helps narrow it down, but to follow-up, I'm not using Cloudflare (or any CDN).

I started having the same problem on both of my communities a few days ago. I'm on the latest software and I'm up to date with optional patches. I have had my host (Cloudways) looking into it the last 2 days with no luck as well. I'll update if I figure anything out, but I'm semi-glad to see it's not just me.

My one community is very broad, so a Q&A wouldn't be the best option for new members. It's unfortunate that spam is still such an issue, but as spam blockers get more sophisticated, so do the spam bots/spammers. To add to the conversation and what works the best for me, I'll share my approach, below. Switched to hCAPTCHa Require the first post to be approved by the staff before a new member's content can be seen. Subscribed to and setup Cleantalk. Toy around with sensitivity until you find what works best for your community. Consider setting up alternative registration methods (Google, Apple, Facebook, etc.) if you can, making it easier for real people to register. Good luck spam-fighters! 🤜🤖

Is it showing for you, now? Thank you.

@opentype, I just wanted to follow-up on this as it's still not displaying correctly in Combined Fluid Mode on mobile. Thank you again.

My mistake. In Fluid mode, it works fine, but it's when you use 'Combined Fluid View,' that's where there are issues. Thanks again for taking a look. How to replicate: Enable 'Combined Fluid View' in a forum Category or Forum with subforums View that forum/category on mobile, and it will display with the avatar overlaying the text.

Hi @opentype, thanks for the fantastic app. It looks fantastic, but I am running into an issue due to my forum structure. Some of my forums use the combined/fluid view, but the plug-in breaks on those forums. Would you mind taking a look when you can? Thank you.

Hello IPS team! A probably rare request, but something I would like if possible is the ability to change the forum view by member type. Fluid view has done a lot to promote activity on the boards. That is now the default view for members. And they seem to be very happy with the change. What would be great is to have the ability to have guests (search engines in reality) view the Table (traditional) view. Reason: I would like to continue having members default to fluid view, as they're more active and love having everything in one place. But I would like to have Google see and properly index the individual forums. Thank you. Continue the great work!

Thank you for looking into it and the prompt support. I disabled the chatbox temporarily and will take a look at that, so thank you for pointing that out. As for outgrowing the host, I switched to their VPS - Cloud hosting, so I'm squared away in terms of resources. It's a pricey jump, but necessary for now as I look for another host next year. As for the tasks not running, I worked through it with the host and it seems to be squared away, now. A few notes in-case it comes up in the future: 1. I use SiteGround as my host, and their shared plans do not allow alterations to variables such as execution time, so the Cron script won't work with their shared plans. 2. Even once on their cloud hosting, I was receiving errors with the cron task method. The reason being is the PHP Binary didn't work, and needs to be PHP-CLI with Siteground. So instead of: usr/local/php74/bin/php The cron task had to start with: usr/local/php74/bin/php-cli Hopefully this can help someone else in the future, as well. You can mark this as resolved as we're squared away. Thanks again for taking the time to take a look.

Hey @stu_m, any recommendations you have that I can look into once I outgrow this host? And are you on shared hosting or dedicated? Thanks again!

The hosting isn't bad (Siteground's GoGeek plan). Just a technical holdup for now.
