Please could you let me know who you are logged in as, so I can take a look?

I'm logged in as the (only) admin. 

Thanks @Jim M

On my Mac, I get a notification that I received a new message:

After I click that notification, I'm taken to the Inbox but no message is selected, so I see this: 

So at first I'm a bit confused as it looks like the message I was just notified about isn't there? Then I realize that I have to click the highlighted discussion in the column on the left, and then I also have to scroll all the way to the bottom of that discussion to read the last message. 

Shouldn't the message that corresponds to the alert (there's actually only 1 new message) be selected and visible after I click the notification? 

Before it went down, I even saw this when trying to react to a comment, and the last comments I submitted took a long time to be submitted. 

For a little bit of time (1 minute, 2 minutes?) my site was almost down (the CSS was broken) and I couldn't use it, there was a db error "too many connections" and when I came to invisioncommunity.com it was the same here! 😰

That would be expected as you're not logged in and the guest cache would impact you. If you want to read notifications though, you would be best to login as you may receive notifications that guest wouldn't be able to take action on and have other expected issues with that.

It's not really an issue for me, now that I know, I could just stay logged in on my phone. It's an issue for my members though, as I can't imagine explaining that behavior to all of them. When they receive an email notification and click the button labeled "Go to this Post" and they don't see a post, they think something's wrong.

Yes, that would be normal

But then that is an issue: I post a question on my Mac, receive a notification on my phone where I'm not logged in, click the link in the notification and there's no reply to my question. 🤨

Ah, is this people who are not logged in? If so, it will be guest cache

Yes that could be the issue. Is that normal then? 

Yes, it looks like a caching issue. It occurs when you've already viewed a page, then someone posts an answer and you try to view that same page again.

I just tried experimenting with a test post but I can't reproduce the issue when I reply to my own thread: my reply is immediately accessible in that case.

Do you have any caching system activated?

I'm not sure. I'm a cloud customer and my board was migrated by Invision. 

I've experienced this a couple of times on my iPad and also on my iPhone. A comment is added as a reply to a topic, and I can see that comment appear as being posted "6 minutes" ago on the topic list (the comment was actually posted 15 minutes ago). Yet when I click the "6 min" link it takes me to the first post of the topic and I can't see that last comment. I can access the last comment as expected from Chrome on my Mac. 

Another time on my iPhone I received an email notification that a reply had been posted to a topic, I clicked the link and could not see the reply. The reply appeared as expected on my Mac. 

After a while (15 or 20 minutes) I end up being able to see the comment on the iOS device. 

Great, that works then. Thanks guys! 🙂 

Ok so actually it can be marked as the solution as long as there's at least one reply. So I have to reply something like "Thanks for posting your solution", then I can mark the first post as solved. 

I'm trying to mark as solved a topic with one single post. The poster edited his post right after posting to add his solution. Can I not mark it as solved?

Our new Courses and Lessons application is coming along great. We hope to have a sneak peak ready next week. 🤞

I too can't wait to have a look at that! 😄

No. Every section has its own template and its own variables. There is no easy way to move templates between sections. It needs manual recreation with knowledge of every detail. 

Ok thanks. I'm glad you chimed in. In fact your SuperGrid is the closest theme and I suppose I'll end up using that or hire you to do a custom job. 

Thank you @Randy Calvert - I've looked at those and others in the Marketplace but I haven't found something i like. IMO They don't look as clean as the two examples I shared. It's too bad Invision doesn't offer a decent default theme especially since they have really nice ones for this site and for the "Our Picks" page.

Is there no way to somehow adapt the theme file used to display "Our Picks" to the Articles in Pages? 

I'm struggling to make my own articles look good on my website. Is there a way to make the page displaying all the articles look like the news on this Invision website, or like the "Our Picks" page on my forum? 

(Jump to the answer in the video)

Interesting. Actually I see these attributes (gyroscope, accelerometer...) for a video that was posted on my forum in July 2022. 

Does anyone know if there's a way to test this on a Mac, so that I can take screenshots for my users? My iPhone 7 is too old, and Safari's Developer menu only goes to iOS 14 on my Mac.

That is really the only way in which to fix them

Got it. 

Any idea why even with all plug-ins disabled, when I copy paste the same YouTube link to my forum it adds allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=" — which isn't added to @Nathan Explosion's forum?

You do have at least one item there which is manipulating post content (trim empty lines) so if you do see it happening in the future, I would certainly disable that 

Actually "Trim Empty Lines" is just a CSS add-on that hides empty <p> tags, it doesn't manipulate the post content.

Ok so I'll just fix the broken threads I can find manually... but this is a bummer.

I would suggest testing this with no 3rd party items enabled, as something there is breaking your content on submitting

I have tested it and I can post videos as expected with or without 3rd party items enabled. The issue was with these two older topics (who knows if there aren't others). 

I haven't added new or removed old 3rd party plug-ins. I have only a minimum setup with 4 simple plug-ins:

I found another broken page: https://www.logicprohelp.com/forums/topic/140230-logic-pro-optimization-distribution-of-threads-on-cpu-cores-on-m1-mac/ -  so something's wrong here. 

@Marc Stridgen if you can look into it that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
