I think I posted about this ages ago but its something I find so annoying and it would be great if it could be improved. The user interface for starting a post simply doesnt work when you have sub forums. For example if I want to start a topic in general chat, when I select it I then have to click in the white area beside the drop down to make the drop down disappear and show the continue button.

I'm shockingly bad at css but can just about get by. I like using the wordpress customiser as I can see in real time what effects my code is having, whereas on invision I have to make changes, save, then refresh to view. Is there a more efficient way to go about it for someone at my level?

Is there a live demo that works? The current link isn't

Thank you. Yes that demo link works.

Can text in the tooltip be hyperlinked? Also your demo doesnt seem to be working>?

Best thing I ever did was get in touch with @ASTRAPI He now hosts and manages my site and its never been faster. Im also paying less than before.

ah ok, not to worry, thanks.

Thank you...and drop it in to the html?

Will this plugin achieve the below please? Will it provide me with some code I can drop into some html or does it have to be added as a widget?

Thank you Marc. This would massively improve the usability on mobile.

Is there a way of showing pagination in a 'display more' format like the activity streams, rather than by x amount per page?

No changes I make to any of these templates seem to make any difference

Can someone point me in the direction for the template for /subscriptions/ please?

I probably should have just asked him directly, pretty sure he made the knots.css file now I think about it 😀 Thank you sir.

I am making a few pages and rather than cluttering up the customcss folder I would like to use folders specific for each individual page. I assume this is a better option also as it will only load up when that page is viewed. When creating a page I see there is an option for selecting an existing css file. How do I create a new file that will show amongst these options please?

They need to be sent to 2 email addresses. Don't have a need to store them as such. I was looking at both those forms but wasn't 100% sure if they would work. Also I want something that I can just drop into the source code of a customised page.

Is there an easy way to create custom forms? Looking to do something like the attached

Thanks Daniel, Yep you are probably right its not going to serve my needs if sendgrid or the like is still required. Thanks for the response.

So my only expense with that would be the initial outlay for the software? Does this have systems in place to prevent blacklisting? Do you manually have to update the subscription list or have you integrated it with IPS? Thank you. More or less same questions about this as I made above to Daniel

Looking at options for sending out newsletters. In the past I have just done it directly through the admin panel, being careful to only send 1000 at a time to minimise the risk of being blacklisted. Now I have taken someone on who is going to be managing regular email marketing campaigns monthly, or perhaps even weekly to a subscription base of 30,000. I would like to know what software everyone is using to do this. I have obviously looked at the obvious ones like mail chimp and active campaign, but the prices are going to stack up pretty damm quickly using those. I see invision already has send grid set up for use, but that doesn't look cheap either. Also if I understand it correctly, using that will mean forum notification emails etc will go through that also, eating into my valuable quota. I do have some budget on this but obviously want to do it the most cost efficient way. If this means sending it through invision still with a workaround to avoided being blacklisted that would obviously be great. Particularly if the email campaign (opens, click throughs etc) can be tracked. Hope to get some good replies from you guys. Thanks.

The example I showed is actually using a different IPS app to community map. Sorry if that wasn't clear

Interested in this. I now sell hosting on 3 separate servers so was looking for a billing option also, and noticed invision have stopped this.

@DawPi has a very nice little plugin that I use that will also change any amazon affiliate links posted to use your own amazon affiliate code.

Ive just done more or less the same thing on my site with user based permissions. Regular guests and members get to see a map at a fixed location which is of no real use. To be able to zoom right in they need to upgrade. Image below is what regular members see. Enough to see theres something in their area but not enough to present any security issues.

The answers simple. Restrict the map zoom. Is there any real need for people to be able to zoom right in to see the very street someones on?
