A prospective new member is annoyed by the login form because it says "You did not pass the security check. Please try again." but he doesn't see a security check and does not know how to try again. What could have happened there? 

Yay! It works! 😃

Great! Thanks a lot. I'm assuming that once a member dismisses an alert once, they won't see it again on the following log-ins while the alert is still running, correct? 

I think I remember an announcement that there would be a new feature where I can display a message when a member logs in, and they have to acknowledge it before they can move on and use the site, did that make it to 4.7.1 ? Where can I find it? Thanks!

Ok thanks!

Thanks!

I recently upgraded to 4.7.1 and now Marketplace search does not work (it doesn't matter what I enter in the Search field, I get no results).

They are language bits from each app. Pages, for example, is a page created in the Pages app. You can remove it, by the way:

Great, thanks a lot!

I also wish I could remove "Status Update": no one on our board uses those. 

I wish we could customize the labels that appear in the filter pop-up menu that appears in the Search field. None of my audience has any idea what "Pages" are, they refer to it as "Tutorials", and I wish I could name them so in the Search field: 

Thanks, I'll make it a feature suggestion then. 

I love the new search filter labels inside the search field in 4.7.1 however is it possible to customize which ones are shown or what labels they have? For example for my blog the filter label is "Pages" but our visitors don't call them "Pages" and they have no idea what "Pages" are. 

Thanks!

Any template that is manually edited by yourself will not have been amended in any way by the upgrade procedure. Therefore the templates mentioned, you should check. Take a look at this, which gives you a better idea of how to check these by comparison

Got it, thank you. I have some reading to do. 

Ok so I did not revert any templates, I performed the upgrade, everything went well and the themes that were supposedly incompatible are still working exactly the same as before. The ad code is still there, all the custom modifications I had made to the HTML are still there. 

So I'm unclear as to whether the template files were updated successfully or not, or if there's anything left for me to do? 

Ok I did a test on a copy of a template to check and apparently "Revert" removes all custom HTML but not the custom CSS or the customizations made with the Easy Editor Mode, which wasn't obvious to me, so that's good news. I'm going to try to update now.

you would just revert that theme, and reapply the code

Thank you. What does "revert a theme" means exactly and how do I do that? Sorry this is my first time updating IPS so I'm new at this and want to make sure I don't screw it up. 

Thank you. My theme is very basic, it's the default factory Invision theme that I have customized by adding the ad code from my ad publisher. So I'm not sure if I will need to re-customize a new default theme or if I'll be able to somehow update my theme and keep the ad code, or will have to simply reapply the ad code? 

I want to update however it says some of my themes are incompatible. I understand that I'll have to incorporate my changes in the new theme.

What I'm trying to understand is:

1. After I update, what will happen to my incompatible themes, will I continue to be able to access their code?
2. After I update, which theme will automatically be applied by default? A new default theme, or the current incompatible theme?

Thanks!

For example in the message I give them a direct link to their own profile page so that they can quickly upload a profile pic. In my canned answer I've written PROFILE_PAGE and every time I send a message I have a to manually copy and paste/replace PROFILE_PAGE with their actual profile page URL, I wish this could be handled automatically.

You mean in regular posts across the community (comments, topics etc.) or in personal messages?

You're right I had private messages in mind. For example I use canned answers to encourage people to set up a profile picture (and explain to them how to do it). But I keep having to type the title manually, and copy paste their name manually inside my canned answer (to make it more personal). 

Wow that's great. I love it! 

Is it possible to adopt the search interface that is on this site (pic below) on my site? Is it part of the last version update (I still haven't done the August update)?

Would be great if we could embed loop videos. 

I wish we could have tags in canned answers such as <member-name> to be replaced by the name of the member we're communicating with, and the possibility to fill the title as well.

The only way in which to change that would be by amending your theme

Ok thanks. 

Thank you. So there's no way around it? Can I not increase the font size of posts on mobile devices, so that it matches the font size that the user is seeing in the text editor while typing?
