When I'm browsing this forum I sometimes see the name of a member who is watching the same content as I am displayed at the top left in a yellow box. Is it possible to have that same feature on my forum or is that a modification? Thanks! -
Sometimes in a thread, you see for example a "1 month later" box in between two posts. However in some cases a post was removed and the box is still displayed yet there are no posts after the box. Is there a way to remove the 1 month later box?
-
Thanks Marc for your patience. However I still don't understand the distinction? Both are called "Notifications". In the "Notifications" pop-up menu you click on View all notifications, and the Notification list opens in the main window rather than the pop-up menu, but to me they look the same so I would assume they are both the same list of Notifications?
-
Ok so forget about the badge with the number. If we focus only on highlights, then right now as soon as you click one notification, they are all grayed out. But if you choose "See all notifications" then you get to a page that behaves exactly the way I want (unvisited notification links continue to remain highlighted the next time you visit that page). I wish the Notification pop-up menu would behave the same as that page, so that you can keep track of which notifications you've clicked and which you have not.

I see it now, thank you!! I have a footer ad that is covering that part of the forum pages... which is another subject for another thread. But I was able to delete the links, thanks all!
-
Thank you! So yes I'd like to delete them right away. I see how to select the link. However I don't see a "moderation actions" menu when I view the list of topics in a forum? I can see that menu only when I view all the posts inside a topic.

I moved some sticky posts from one forum to another. Now in the original forum I have an arrow with a link to the moved post. It's been a few days so I now want to remove those links, how do I do that? Thanks.
-
Great! I did that and it works! Thanks a lot for the simple idea. And thank you too @Nathan Explosionfor the detailed code, I'm sure this will come in handy at one time or another, I appreciate the help as well.
-
Ok thank you Marc.
-
Thank you. However on my main computer where I'm always logged in, they are never shaded, even when there is no new content at all? Edit: Oh I see they're shaded only when logged out and there's no unread content then. Is there a way to disable this function?
-
I noticed that when I'm not logged in (on another machine) the forum icons are shaded. What is the meaning of shaded icons, and is there a way to disable them so they're never shaded (I am using custom forum icons).

Thank you!

After I hide a user's signature, how can I display it again?

Thank you! -
I really like the widget we can see at the top of the sidebar on this forum, the one about "Scheduled Maintenance - Today - Complete". Is it possible to make my own for my forum? Thanks!
-
I clicked the little x to the right of a user's signature and chose to hide it. If I want to now display it again, how do I do that? Thanks!
-
Ok I understand, and I will post there. Thank you!

Let me clarify the behavior I wish, which is similar to mail apps such as yahoo mail, gmail, or the Mail app on a Mac computer. There are 5 new posts since you last visited and the bell shows a (5) badge. You click the bell and see 5 highlighted notifications listed at the top for posts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. You click the link to visit post 3, reply to it, do a few other things etc... The bell now shows a (4) badge. You click the bell and see posts 1, 2, 4 and 5 highlighted, but 3 is now grayed out because you visited it. That way you can immediately identify visually that you've already processed the notification for post 3 but you still have to take care of posts 1, 2, 4 and 5. Does that make sense?
-
Thanks Marc for your answer. That's too bad. I really wish the Notifications could keep track of what you've visited and what you haven't, like on an email program for example. When I have multiple notifications and open the menu, and click one notification to visit the post, maybe type an answer, and then come back to the notification menu, I can no longer tell which notifications I've already clicked and which I haven't. Let's call it a feature request for a future version of the software! 😃
-
Recently moved from another forum software to Invision and I love it for the most part. I do however miss the behavior of the bell / Notifications pop-up menu and want to see if there's a way to implement it in my Invision Community board: If I had for example 3 notifications, the bell would have the number 3 and show 3 highlighted notifications in the pop-up menu. If I then clicked one of the notification that took me to a new post or a new private message, or if somehow I read the corresponding post or private message, then that specific notification was no longer highlighted, and the bell would show the number 2 with only 2 notifications highlighted. That behavior made it real easy to keep track of which items in the notification list had been visited and which ones were yet to click/visit.
-
Ok great, thanks Jim, I appreciate it, and I will contact my ad provider. I will update this thread once I find the answer.
-
Thank you Jim. The reason I was thinking this may be an issue with Invision was because once I add a widget (any widget), everything behaves as expected, both the sicky part, and the padding part:
-
Thank you, however that did not work as expected unfortunately. First, the sidebar ad is stuck to the content on its left with no padding, unlike a real sidebar. Second, the sidebar ad that is supposed to turn into a sticky ad (stays in place while scrolling down) once it reaches the top of the viewport, completely disappears when you scroll down (and the forum content becomes full width again).
-
I need a sidebar in order for ads to be automatically displayed in the sidebar. However the only way I've found to create a sidebar is to open the builder and create a small widget (a small text widget). Now I have my small text widget and the ads automatically shows up below. But I would prefer to not have that small text widget at all. Is there a solution? Thanks!
-
Thank you very much, that works! 😃
-
Longer topics on my forum automatically display a sidebar with Replies/Created/Last Reply counts, Top Posters in this topic, Popular Days...etc. How can I remove that sidebar? Thanks!
