Sometimes when I have submitted a reply to a topic, then come back to the same topic to enter another reply, the text editor shows me the text I've already submitted?

Yeah, this is likely related to being tied to one of our load balancers when it was outdated or otherwise unavailable. That should be resolved now, if not, please clear your browser cookies and you will get one which is up to date. Sorry for the inconvenience. 

Thanks!

Does it work in incognito mode or with another browser? Sometimes Chrome is too aggressive in caching pages, and it might have cached that error page.

It works in incognito, and it works in Safari. 

I've emptied the cache but still got the error. 

I finally emptied "Cookies and other site data" and it's now working. 

Thanks!

Ok so I turned off all extensions and cleared the cache, I'm still getting the issue. 

The thing is, I'm always using Chrome. I've visited invisioncommunity.com with Chrome successfully many times until just a few minutes before. I haven't installed anything new since this started happening. 

For some reason Chrome will no longer let me access this site? I'm now accessing it from Safari (same computer).

Yes. You probably don’t see it because you are looking at your own records, which you can’t react to. 

DUH. That was it. Thanks. 🙂 

Is it possible for users to react to a database record? I can't seem to find that setting.

It looks like you haven't completed the upgrade process. Please go to <url>/admin/upgrade and follow the instructions.

Yes, but that's odd because I went through it, the website was down for a few minutes while I was watching the progress bars... I'll try again. 

Now it's showing this... 

Ok I tried again, and now it's upgrading (again).

Ok so this time it worked. And the database warning disappeared. Weird that I had to go through the entire process twice? 🤔

I performed the 4.7.14 upgrade. The "Marketplace" icon is no longer present in my ACP which led me to believe that the install was successful, however I still see 4.7.13 in my ACP with a suggestion to upgrade to 4.7.14.

In my ACP I also see a warning for a database problem:

You’ll be able to add any of your custom profile fields, so if a bio is already a part of those then you’re good to go 🙂

Ok that's great thank you!

@Ehren Will it be possible to include other data (than what's visible on your video) in the mini profile strip? 

Two things that would greatly benefit my community are: 

1. Add the member signature in the mini profile (so that basically the signature would be hidden by default but people who need to see it would know where to look for it). 
2. Add a short bio in the mini profile (so you can know what credentials that member has). 

Thanks! Can't wait. 🙂

Has anyone else had to do this?

I don't have an official business so couldn't get anywhere with business verification on facebook.

Yes. I ended up being able to get them to verify it but it took a few days. You don't need an official business account. You just need your regular account and the app you've created at https://developers.facebook.com/apps/

Ok I think I know what probably happened. I must have copied the HTML from an older article into a newer one and deleted the older article. Rookie mistake. Thank you @Jim M!

This is remarkable. 

Will there be a way to adjust the length of the snippets? I like the idea, but I wouldn't want them to be too long. Trying to strike a balance between enough content visible to get people interested in the conversation, but not too much so that they still have to open the topic to read more. 

I was going to watch a Netflix movie but I think I'll watch that video 6 times in a row instead. 😍

@Ehren for the win!! 

No, I'm not. The URL is https://www.logicprohelp.com/articles/map-midi-controller-knobs-to-plug-in-parameters-r1/

Oh ok, I assumed the front page was a listing page, because the "listing" display option of a field affects the way that field is displayed on the front page. 

So what's a listing page? How do I create one? I looked up the IC guide but couldn't find anything about it. The only mentions of a "database listing page" are referring to the ACP. 

On one of my articles, all images disappeared. Instead it's showing the name of the images. Like this: 

All my other articles display their images as expected.

You need to drag the filter widget on a database listing page. That’s what this setting is for. It can’t be tied to the badge display itself without custom coding. 

Thank you. I tried to add the Database Filters widget but it does not display. Is it because my Articles database is not using categories? 

Ok so I ended up using the visual language editor which worked fine for this application, thanks @Marc Stridgen!

Here is a tutorial for a multi-badge setup from one field:

https://www.opentype.space/superdocs/ips-community-tips/pages/multi-color-select-box-badges-with-pages-r16/ 

That's a great tutorial, thanks for sharing. I just set it up on my blog to be able to have different colors for different badges showing the type of article. 

One question: 

In the field settings, I selected "Allow filtering" but how are you supposed to filter your articles by the field value? I'm expecting to be able to click the badge to filter records but that does not work.

The only person who can really answer that question would be  yourself, as its personal preference really.

I wanted to ask other community members what they were doing, and what they've found works best for SEO in their experience. I suppose this is an issue that all boards that have a long history are facing, so I'm hoping we can have a discussion about how best to handle it. 

Here is an example.

Today I searched Google for "Delete Account site:invisioncommunity.com"

The #1 result is an outdated 2015 archived topic that does not contain the answer.

How would you handle this? Unarchive the topic so that you can reply to it with an up to date answer, or link to an answer? Or delete that topic and redirect? 

I have the same question. I'm cloud hosted. I wish there was a way to automatically compress images and videos, as today most users expect to take a photo or even a video with their phones and upload it to their post, the way they do on Facebook. 

Great. Thanks a lot @Marc Stridgen and @opentype, looks like I have some reading to do. 🙂 

Related to the the Pages database "Articles":

I don't really need a featured article but would rather use that badge to highlight the newest article. Where can I edit the word "Featured" to say "New" instead? Thanks!

Thanks a lot! My Article database does not use categories, so I'm going to follow @opentype's suggestions.
