The forum threads are used to have a cohort of students complete their projects, on a daily basis, and I go in, also on a daily basis to give feedback to all. Since I put the feedback to all in ONE post, everyone benefits from it. If I was to give feedback in the gallery, only the poster would get the valuable information. Here is a current thread for our bootcamp. So, if there was a "simple" way that the image could be clicked on, and it would direct the viewer to the gallery, along with all the information put there by the poster, it would be great. It would also mean more clicking for the viewer who might want to see the ten projects posted on that day, and just like my feedback post, they would not be as available as intended for others to read.

I currently have the Invision gallery installed but the forum is going to be only added in January. Right now, I still use bbpress, which has been ok for years. Right now, I encourage my members to post their projects in the gallery, and embed their image in the specific forum threads. However, this is slightly different than they used to do as before we had the gallery, all the information about the project was also posted in the forum. Now, they put all the details and credits in the gallery (which is great), but now, when following a thread in the forum, members are not repeating all the information they posted in the gallery. I know I cannot test anything since my Invision forum is not yet installed, but at that point, would the embeded image be linked to the gallery post itself so the viewer could access all the information the poster will have put there? Thank you.

Interesting. Glad to see there is another way to do it. Thanks.

So far, I can see that one way to embed images from the gallery into a forum post is to copy the image address in the gallery and add that inside the post in order to have the actual image displayed instead of just a link. Is that the most effective way or is there a different way? I want to make sure that the same image does not end up to be uploaded twice.

Thank you.

Thanks. It was well hidden!

OK Thanks. It was not a necessity. If needed, they can ask an admin or moderator. I just wanted to make sure I was not missing something.

I have a pretty graphic heavy site, and expect that the number of images added to my gallery to add a lot of weight on the server over time. Is everything automatically saved on the server or is there a way to store the images outside? I saw a mention that someone used AWS for images. If that is an option (I use AWS for my videos), where would I set that? Thanks.

Aside from Edit and Delete, I cannot find any way to add other "managing" commands for the users. Is it possible for them to Move an image from one category to another? If so, where do I set that? Are there other commands than Edit and Delete that would make sense to allow users to do? If so, which ones and how?

OK that "share" option under the three dots might be one way to do it. Quoting would not be good as the reference would be images and not text. Is there a way to "reply to a specific post", and such?

In my current forum (I have not yet converted to Invision), I have some daily "feedback posts" for all the projects posted on that day. Members like to be able to see what I am talking about and since I refer to images and not text, quoting them is not the most convenient way to go. So far, my way around was to identify the post with its number. Here is an example: https://scrapbookcampus.com/Community/topic/masks-workshop-2022/page/3/#post-72121 It is a little annoying but it is a workaround. I don't mind, but it is not really convenient for someone who might want to just reply to one other poster. Once I migrate to the Invision forum, is there an easier way to refer to another post (or reply directly to it) for the members?

Thanks anyways. It was worth asking in case there was a simple setting to check/uncheck.

My gallery is for Digital Scrapbooking, so members would create graphics with their program, with or without photos, but they don't really have EXIF like you would have for photographers. In fact, it will only give standard information on the size (which I ask to be a certain dimension) and nothing else that is of use. Instead of confusing my members, is it possible to remove it from the gallery option? Thanks.

By the way, is it possible to edit the thread title from "Ratting" to "Rating" so it might help anyone searching for it?

Thanks. That was probably the one missing setting. With so many settings everywhere, it is easy for a newcomer to miss one (or a few).

Thanks @Jim M I have added a temporary admin account information on the Access Information. I am still waiting on any information from the SSO plugin author.

I have had https for a few years now so I didn't recently do anything. I am not sure if i should do something else, but refreshing pages still does not allow me to assign a rating.

I searched without success for an explanation. I have set up my gallery, and for each image in any gallery, is that set of 5 stars. I assume it is to rate the image by viewers but it is not responding at all. Am I understanding the system wrong? Or do I have to set something differently? I did check permissions and every group is supposed to have access to the rating.

I thought it might have something to do with the accounts directly inside Invision first. I'll follow up with the SSO's author too.

I am running a bit in circles with a situation. I created an account when I installed Invision for my site. The name was MyC**** and the email was admin@scr*********. I also installed Wordpress SSO. Now, I might have messed up something because my admin account on my site is Cassel (as display name) but MyC**** as username, and the email is cassel@cr********. Now, if I log into my site, normally, as the Cassel admin, when I go to the Invision AdminCP, it switched to the MyC**** with the admin@scr****** account. Now, I am trying to streamline things, but it is not working as expected. I have a Loom recording of what is happening when I try to change the details but I don't want to post it in the open forum so let me describe it: I was able to change the email address to the MyC*** account from admin@scr******* to cassel@cr******* (you can see at the bottom) However, for the Cassel account, the email is cassel@cr****** and even if I try to change it to admin@cr***** (to make it different than the M account), it always reverts to this, even if, in the member activity it shows that it was changed. I tried logging out completely and come back, and the email is still cassel@cr***** Can you help me straighten this out?

I am trying to change the information in the Invision backend and as often as I enter the password in "Review/Update Access Information", it displays fewer "dots" in the field making me wonder if it takes the correct information. Can I rely on that to know that the pw is recorded correctly?

I am mostly puzzled why it is not using the same account, and it switches from USER1 to USER2 when I go from the site to Invision and from USER2 to USER1 when I go back. Mystery!

Thanks @Marc Stridgen I'll look further into this. Other than the Easy Editor, I can do everything else in the CP so far so it is not a HUGE issue.

I see that. Isn't there a way to grant myself all those permissions? I do have two admin accounts. In WP, they are keymasters so they can do everything.

I am really not sure what is going on. I tried installing the patch and at step 3, it says I don't need it and I don't have permission. That seems ok I guess, if I don't need it. Waiting to see if there is anything wrong in my setting up the Wordpress SSO plugin.
