  1. This would be great to be able to set a character limit, so you don't have to do anything extra, and also to make sure the Our Picks boxes are all the same height. A Read More button also lets people know that there is more to read on the subject, some may think what they are reading is the complete entry. Great idea.
  2. Thank you for the info and link, I'm going to check it out now. UPDATE: After reading the article, it convinced me to deactivate the Clubs option for now.

    This worked perfectly, thank you. The suggested change for the spacing issue did not work though. Is it ok if I PM you the link to the page, will that help at all for you to see it?

    As I started watching the video, I laughed and my eyes watered at the same time. Why? Excitement! It's truly hard to fully compete with the likes of Elementor, Divi, or even WPBakery, but it's not impossible. You guys are definitely headed in the right direction. I was just going to ask, if it's possible to have 2 or 3 blocks side by side, so I can place images in each block, then I saw your comment ... If I wanted just the top row to have 3 columns, then underneath that, 1 column, then under that, 2 columns, is that possible? If not, being able to customize the layout of a page like, pretty much like the page builders I mentioned would be incredible. Thanks for the amazing update. With so many negative things happening in 2020, 4.5 will surely be the highlight of the year.

    We need a visual builder like Elementor in order to take full advantage of PAGES and be able to make anything our minds could imagine!
  6. CLUBS When I asked a few people on my forum about the use of CLUBS, one friend stated how he didn't think it should be used. To him it would just be segregating content from the main forum. Why create a club about a certain topic, when a thread could just be created on the forum. I know of the following thread, and read through it, but would love to hear some fresh insight on this topic. BLOGS Do you use Blogs on your forum? Do you use it for yourself, do you let forum members create their own blogs, and if so, do they actually use it? Again, just like CLUBS, why create a blog and talk about a topic when you could just create a thread on the forum and discuss it there? I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Not sure if I should invest in getting this last piece that I am missing from the IPS tools.

    The block that displays Latest Comments, I would like to display this on my homepage to let people know that there are comments being made in the Videos section. How would I change the block header from 'Latest Comments' to 'Latest Video Comments'? Thank you in advance for your help!

    I am using a IPFocus theme, Chameleon. I just changed it to Daily. I just did this, and it worked. Thank you.

    I noticed when looking at a video while the DISCOVER tab is selected, a video says it has '11 views', then while the TRENDING tab is selected, the same video shows it has '18 views'. This goes for all videos, they have different view count depending on which tab is active. Is this a bug? Or what does this mean exactly? Does it mean how many views they got in each section (Discover, Trending), if so, is it possible to display total view count, no matter which tab is active? Thank you.
  10. At one point I did have email validation set up, so these accounts must be from that time. I currently have it set to Administration Validation. This is a great idea. Thank you so much. I will try this.
  11. Thanks for the reply, but is ist still possible to achieve? Connecting Facebook for login and promotion?
  12. Thank you for clearing that up. I guess I have to delete them one by one.
  13. I also need to do this, but I can not find the setting pictured anywhere. I looked in System>Login & Registration>Registration ... and what is pictured above, is not showing at all. Maybe mine is different. I have my 'Validation method for new accounts' set to 'Administrator validation'. So when I go to Members>Members and click on the 'Validating' tab, I have 7 pages of accounts I would like to delete. I do not see a way to bulk select and bulk delete all in here. The problem with deleting them one by one is, once I delete the first one, it changes the selected tab back to 'All'. I accidentally deleted a member because I thought it was still in the 'Validating' tab. Any help with this?

    Thanks for this. This worked as far as adding the line above, but the text 'View All Categories' is still flushed with the bottom and not centered vertically. Any way to adjust this? Thanks.

    Would you also agree that this would be an incredible feature to have built in to the forum? I think it would be amazing. Such a small but significant feature would make a big difference. I really get worried of the idea of having to install so many plugins knowing at any moment the developer could decide to stop supporting or updating the plugin, not to mention the possibilities of plugins conflicting with each other and causing errors and breaking the forums functionality. I do hope one day this feature gets added by IPS.
  16. I did try it, got to parts that didn't match up, what I was seeing on the page to what the guide was showing. The guide is not so straightforward as it should be. Then after reading the following on the Guide's page, why not update the Guide to show what has changed? ImportantPlease note that due to changes on the facebook platform, the below process may not be the entire process required, and you may have to get your application business verified. We are working on a solution to this issue at present.
  17. The Help Guides are not as "helpful" as I would like them to be. It is much easier to follow along with instructions when you can see them, visually, as in a video, as in the Invision Community YouTube Channel. For the love of all things holy, can you please add videos displaying things in your guide, especially the ones that are harder to achieve, such as Social Media Promotion/Login. Setting this up has been difficult. Especially when what I am seeing as screenshots in the Help Guide, does not match what I am actually seeing on Facebook. I understand you may not have someone available to make these videos, why not task someone in the community with the job, give them a year of free renewals for making videos for you. I'm sure someone would be willing to help. Under Search Engine Optimization, the tab 'Meta Tags', I do not understand what this is for, when launching the 'Live Meta Tag Editor' what exactly do I change or edit, a video showing and explaining this would be very helpful. Under 'Statistics / Activity / Keywords .. I am not sure what this is for. When I click 'Manage Keyword Settings', what do I add for Keywords and why? I didn't find anything regarding this in the Help Guides. It would be great if someone could open up the ACP, start from the top, and go over each setting and explain what things do or what they are for? Update the Help Guides, or better yet, create YouTube videos.
  18. Anyone able to answer if the guide is outdated? Does this still work? Thanks.

    I didn't know it worked this way, thank you so much for clarifying this.

    1 more thing, my first Giveaway has just ended, I had it set to pick a winner, and I don't see anywhere on the front end or back end where it has chosen a winner. I do have the block enabled on the dashboard. Is there something I am missing? What is suppose to happen when it chooses a winner? Thanks. UPDATE: It chose a winner at the next hour. So If it chooses a winner on the hour, should I set the giveaway to end at like 11:59 so it will pick someone at 12:00?

    If I "Lock" a Giveaway, does this mean that it will be displayed on the front end, people can see the prize(s), they just won't be able to enter/participate? Also, even if I leave the Giveaway locked the whole time, will it still pick a winner automatically once it ends? I want to state that for every dollar they donate, will earn them 1 ticket. Then I will manually add them with the amount of tickets they earned. This way when payment goes through Paypal, it will be under Donations. Just curious, if I did set it up as a Raffle, and someone bought tickets, because I am using Paypal, do you know what info is displayed on the Paypal side? Does it actually say "Raffle" and mention tickets, etc? Thanks for answering my questions.
  22. Incredible. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my pre-sale questions. I do appreciate it.
  23. SC36DC replied to iamART's post in a topic in Marketplace
    This would be incredible. Interested here also.
  24. Is this guide outdated? Is it still possible to set up Facebook Login, Status Import, and Promotion? I noticed this part on the guide.

  25. it sends a standard message you can't add your own to it, although you probably could edit the language string in the ACP of the message Ok that's fine regarding the message. But would the code work this way: Let's say I have a 20% code for purchase for 2000 points. The code is 'FORUM20'. Once they purchase this 20% coupon code, will they get a PM message then showing them the 'FORUM20' coupon code. Can I also change the icons that display in the box like in the image here? Thanks again.
