I can no longer find the page that lists all supported embed in invision community. I tried pasting an instagram link to a video but that doesn't work. I was able to paste the embed as HTML but is there no support for instagram embed? Thanks. 

Well scratch that, I can reproduce the issue with only one tab open. So there's another variable which makes it work sometimes and not other times.

Do you have any extentions running on the browser.

I can reproduce the issue with no extensions.

Given what you have said there, its sounding more and more browser related. Of course we cant tell it to do different things if there are different numbers of tabs open

Bugs aren't always predictable, there may be a variable that we're not accounting for here, such as if I had already visited that notification or not for example, I'm not sure. 

I'm using an up to date version of Chrome (Version 113.0.5672.92 (Official Build) (arm64)) on macOS 12.3.1. All extensions disabled. 

The only extension I have is 1password.

Interesting. Now I can no longer reproduce the issue if only one tab of my website is open in my forum. 

The issue remains if I have more than one tab open though. 

Thanks. I just had this happen to me again: I was typing a private message to someone, got a notification, clicked it, and my browser window was updated to the new page. Thankfully the private message is saved in the text area and I was able to retrieve it when I went back. 

Done. Thanks! 

I was able to make an animate screen capture of the behavior if that helps. I'd rather not share publicly but I can send it by email.

I have tagged this for the attention of our developers to have a read of. I cant see how we can control this, however Im not one of the developers myself, so its not to say someone else might

Thank you Marc. Different websites behave differently when clicking a notification banner like this. Some websites (Reddit for example) have even changed the behavior for their notifications in the past.

Users already have the choice to open links with our without new tabs/windows using their browser functions. (I press the Command key on my Mac for example for a new tab). Forcing a new tab through HTML removes that choice, so it only makes things worse. 

I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing? It doesn't matter whether or not I press the Command key here when clicking a notification banner on my desktop Mac, for Invision Community, it always rewrites one of my website's already opened tab and never opens a new tab. 

I'm talking about clicking this: 

Here's a simple example: 

I have only one tab opened with page A on my website. 

I click a notification banner about a new reply to another topic.

The new topic overwrites the tab that had page A opened. There's no way to go back: the back button in Chrome is disabled (as if I was never on another page before). The tab does not register the overwriting as a new page in the history, it's the same page, only its content was overwritten. I can't go back to page A.

If the back button on your browser isn't taking you back to where you were previously, that would be a browser issue.

I'm pretty sure it's an issue with how the Invision software is coded: My back button works as expected and takes me back 1 step in my history for that tab, however when I click a notification banner to visit a page, the current page is wiped out of the history to be replaced with the new one. This happens only with the Invision software, and it happens with all browsers. 

In any case I really wish that clicking a notification would open a new tab and not replace one of the currently opened forum pages, that would make more sense. 

This is a frustrating behavior. 

1. I visit a page from my forum (page A) and keep it open in a tab, hoping to come back to it when I get a minute. 
2. I receive a notification banner that there's a new reply to another topic. 
3. I click the banner. 
4. The page I had kept open (page A) is replaced with that other topic (page B). 
5. I click the "Back" button on my browser: it takes me back to the list of topics. There's no way to find page A again. 

Ok thank you Charles. 

Do you know why my cloud-hosted website would display this? 

Thanks Charles.

There is a full screen button in Live Topics.

I am already in full screen view, however the "Questions" section below the video is so tall that the video is kinda small. On that doctored screenshot I just shared I've made the video bigger so it's the size I wish it was. 

In reality even in full screen, the video is about half that size (I wish I had an undoctored screenshot but I don't have one).

Alternatively if you dont want ant showing at all, you can shut them off from System>Settings>Email

Yes! That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! 🙂 

I've promoted a few posts on my forum so they're listed under "Our Picks", however now those also appear in every notification email being sent. Is there a way to remove them from the notification emails? 

Thanks!

When I see the buttons at the end of a course, I feel like I'm missing some options that would make the visitor move forward. Most people don't want to return to the course they just took or retake the same quizz again either? Most people want to either go to the next course, next module, or back to that course's list of modules, or to the library of courses.

I wish there was a way to make the video larger (and still see the chat pane) in Live Topic. Something like this: 

(Jump to the answer in the video)

Looking great! I can't wait to get started building my first course. 🙂 

Ok thanks for confirming Andy. 

Ok thanks Marc. 

Ok thanks Marc. Maybe it's because of these super long strings of code. Oh well no big deal. 

Here's what Google's Rich Results Test reports: 

In my search console, one topic from my forum generates the "Incorrect Value Type" error defined by Google as:

The value specified for a field was of the wrong type. For example, you specified a string when a number or array was expected. See the structured data documentation to learn the required value type for that specific field.
