  1. We seem to be getting the same problem as far as I understand the subject of this thread. Since we moved from self hosting to cloud, about every five days or six days we get a message saying that ads.txt is not there and we are losing revenue. We then have to go through the process of placing it again, doing an update and it then says it has been found and everyone is happy until the next time. This has probably happened about half a dozen times so far. Our Webmaster thinks that it is something to do with cloudflare Confusing it or something. I don't understand – but does anybody recognise this kind of behaviour and does anybody have a solution please? Thanks
  2. Thank you. I feel very embarrassed that I don't know this stuff!
  3. Thank you for this. I've altered the contents but so far it doesn't seem to make any difference. Maybe it takes time. I'm rebuilding the site map.
  4. Thank you for this. Do you mean in the SCO optimisation page? I have this I think I changed that at the beginning – but are you referring to somewhere else? I'm afraid that I struggle with this kind of stuff even though I've been running the forum on various platforms for nearly 20 years. As for it being hardcoded into the old URL, where would I reach that please?
  5. We have recently changed our name/URL from consumeractiongroup to nationalconsumerservice - www.nationalconsumerservice.co.uk when I post the URL on Facebook, it is still retrieving our old name. Anybody any idea where this is coming from please so that I can go in and change it Thanks
  6. That would be great. Looking forward to it – as you know.
  7. I'm going to say now – something that may be the developers are a bit cautious about saying – that I don't understand why the marketplace is gone. It was like a one-stop shop. It was like a modern supermarket we could go in and see everything that was available and keep yourself up-to-date in a timesaving and efficient way. Now it's like having to travel around the country to see what's going on. Easy to miss things, time-consuming, I don't see any upside to getting rid of the marketplace. I expect that the third-party developers probably feel the same way although maybe they would prefer not to speak out about it
  8. Thank you. This looks very interesting indeed. A couple of comments though – first of all it looks rather more complicated to set up than the keyword tooltips application from @Adriano Faria but more significantly for us, we have been using the keyword tooltips application for quite a number of years and there is a lot of data already linked. With a completely new system we would have to go through an entry to all again by hand and we probably have at least 150 or 200 different links. Whereas I'm hoping that when @Adriano Faria produces his version 5 upgrade, we will simply be able to use the existing data. Adiano says that he hasn't made many sales of this keywords tooltips application. I have to say this amazes me because it is so fantastically useful and saves a huge amount of repetitive information giving and having to define things again and again and again for people. If we didn't have it then the job of our site team would be very difficult indeed and the people who come to us for help would be far less informed because we would be up to keep up with it
  9. That's great. Thanks. All we need now is converters – and a version 5 keyword tooltips application and we are ready to roll 😁
  10. Last time I checked these were not available yet. Any news on this please? Also we are thinking about moving away from dedicated hosting to your cloud service. Would we need converters if we did that? We've been with you for a few years and we came over from vbulletin which is why we need converters. Thank you
  11. I don't know if this feature would be of interest to anyone else. It certainly would be extremely useful for us. I run a forum which gives free consumer law advice in the UK. We have 400,000 members over the last 19 years. Many row threads/topics can go on for many pages as we help people with litigation against companies. There is a lot of uploading of PDF documents from both sides and eventually it is very difficult for these things to get lost in the middle of the discussion and we have to work our way through them to find them again if we need them. It would be great if somehow or other at the top of each topic there was a list of included attachments so that either our members or the staff could simply click the one they wanted and it would open up. Alternatively, clicking the attachment icon could go to the place in the thread where it had been uploaded and we could then upload the attachment and also see the context in which it had been inserted. Thanks
  12. For our part we would be very pleased to see it exactly like a normal topic with all that functionality and flexibility and ideally would like to be able to configure that all reported posts go to XX sub- forum or ZZ sub- forum – and even maybe certain topic -related reported posts would go to a related forum and reported posts from somewhere else will go to another sub- forum of our choosing. That way we could have all the functionality of the existing reported post system – if we wanted it – but if we wanted to change it to suit our particular needs then we could. I think we are looking for maximum choice and I suppose that because the topic system exists already, I would hope that it wouldn't need a lot of extra design to make that happen.
  13. Actually I think I may have found it – it seems to be the "feed" setting in the theme editor – but how do I bring it all to the left-hand side? Okay I think I have that too. Feed setting in the theme editor – and flipside bar on large screens. Thanks
  14. I've just started experimenting with a free trial – before eventually converting a test forum and eventually our live site but probably some months down the line. I hope you think that imitation is the finest form of flattery!! What are the settings for this appearance – where you have a forum icon on the left hand side with a full description and then the posts down the middle I think it looks rather smart and for a starting point, we may well decide to do the same. Thanks
  15. I'm sorry to say that I rather knew you were going to say that. I have found that once envisioned makes decisions about things, they tend to be pretty fixed. It would be so difficult to make the reported posts system configurable so that every user/administrator – manager – could get it working the way they would really like to work which suited their own particular needs and their own way of working. I think I've said this before in the past two years – what's wrong with Choice?
  16. Thanks again for the advice to use the free trial. It's very helpful – mainly reassuring because I see a great familiarity in the backend and I can see that it's not going to be as difficult as I imagined.
  17. A frustrating thing that we have found with version 4 is that reported posts seems to have been designed by a completely different committee to the one which designed the standard topic interface. I think it would be very helpful to bring the reported posts threads into line in their functionality with topics. It would also be very helpful to be able to configure the reported posts to be directed to any particular place. As I expect it is with all forums, we have some private forums where there is a lot of interchange between staff members. It will be extremely helpful to be able to set up a separate private subforum simply to receive reported posts so that they are more easily accessible and we don't have to go to some special reported posts corner which as I have indicated works in a way rather different from the rest of the forum topics. Surely having a single uniform interface design would be much easier for everybody and also much easier to keep upgraded.
  18. I'm not sure the right name is – but I'm just wondering whether there is available some sample site provided by Invision where we can open an admin account and have a look at the adminCP et cetera to try and begin a little understanding of the layout and differences et cetera. Thanks
  19. Thank you. What is the consequence of not having the converters if we install version 5 on the live site?
  20. I'm just very keen to get a test version installed so I can take my time to see how it all works and see what work I need to do to configure it so it suits what we do.
  21. Tank you - but I seem to remember that once we upgraded without converters and there was chaos
  22. Thank you. I can take it from that then that version 5 could not yet be used for people who have migrated from a different system – even though this was now several years ago. We came over from vbulletin
  23. Thank you for this. One further question, please. I notice that the version 5 download doesn't include converters et cetera which were necessary with version 4 because we came from a different platform. Does that mean that converters are not necessary any more? Thanks
  24. @Miss_B thanks for the installation link above – that refers to version 4. I need to find a link to version 5 I suppose
  25. Hi, I am trying to organise that we set up a version 5 test site so we can install it and understand it and get used to it before we then update our live site. I see that we have to change our licence to a version 5 licence. If I change the licensed version 5 licence, we still able to carry on using version 4? Also, I feel nervous about even upgrading our test site until we know exactly what we are doing. This means that we would be operating our live site, a test site – and also a version 5 test site – until we felt comfortable. In other words, we would be operating three sites and I understand that this would be beyond the licensing terms. How can we manage this please We have a huge forum. Over 5 million pages, 400,000 members, over 400,000 topics. It simply a volunteer service and any things to go smoothly as possible with as little stress as possible. So I suppose what I'm asking is please could we run two test sites for a while – our existing version 4 – and an experimental version 5. Thanks
