Discrepancies in the Statistics
Would be nice, if someone could take a look into this. We use these values to measure community activity and figure out which content, activity and campaign works to generate new and activate exiting members. Thus it's necessary that those numbers are reliable and consistent.

Settings-field for user name is recognized as a field to enter credential
Under Account Settings > "Display Name" the field to enter a new display name is recognized as login-field to enter your credentials and thus in some browsers (e.g. Firefox) populated with saved credentials (usually email addresses) which confuses users. See screenshot. The yellow highlight is made by firefox to indicate that is has auto filled in your credentials. Chrome also suggests filling in credentials when focusing the field.

[Bug] Missing text ressource (in JavaScript?) for timestamp of post
Sorry for answering late. I've been on vacation. Actually I can't reproduce this issue right now. So maybe this was a browser issue. The text seems to be generated directly from the browser with it's own settings anyways because for me it's always in German language, no matter what language pack I choose. Edit: Which does not happen here in the forum, where it always is english, even after dynamic update via JS: In my forum the time stamp is in German even with a newly created, untranslated ("empty") language pack: See the English "Just now" in the header and the German "vor 1 Minute" in the post (dynamically updated via JS after waiting some time).

[Bug] Missing text ressource (in JavaScript?) for timestamp of post
When you post a new Topic, the date is shown right above that topic (as for any other post). If you then keep that page open and wait some time, a JavaScript seems updates that time stamp to something like "2 minutes ago". This text is broken (at least if language is set to any other than english): If you then reload the page everything is fixed, until it breaks again when the JS again updates that timestamp.

Any new infos on this issue?

Discrepancies in the Statistics
May be it's a problem with the "lastVisited"-field? For example, I retrieved user info for a specific member of my community (member id 2120, if you want to check by yourself) via the REST API. And this is what I've got (excerpt): joined: "2024-11-15T08:46:52Z" lastActivity: "2026-07-16T08:33:08Z" lastPost: "2026-06-01T09:31:16Z" lastVisit: "2026-07-07T15:05:42Z"How is it possible, that "lastActivity" date is several days after "lastVisit"? I expect "lastVisit" to always be the newest date or at least same day as lastActivity. Seems that lastVisit is not reliable (at the moment)? Is it a bug?

Discrepancies in the Statistics
But shouldn't be that the exact same if the end-date of time period is "today" (as above)? Because, the date of "last visited" can either be within the selected time period (between start date and today), which means the user should be counted in both statistics. Or "last visited" is before that period, which means, the user is not counted in any of those two statistics. Thus, it should be the same numbers in that case. The only case, where "last visited" date would be counted for the "total visits" statistic, but not for the "last visit" statistic would be, when "last visited"-date of a user is after the end date of the selected time period, which is impossible if it's today.

Discrepancies in the Statistics
In ACP I want to know how many unique visitors have there been in the last week or month. So I go to ACP > Statistics > Member Visits. There I have two options: "Last Visit" and "Total Visits". Now, here are the results (please note that I've filtered by the same groups, same date range and today's date is 9 Juli 2026, so "Last Visit" should give valid results when looking back from today): Why do they show different results in regard of the unique visitors? From my understanding "Unique Visitors" in "Total Visits" Should be the same as the number of Users with "Last visited" Date in this date range, shouldn't it? And if not, which one is correct an why?

The search funciton on my community or this forum are useless
Well, I'd appreciate clarification. Please! Where have the topics been moved to? On the Overview Page there are only four forums left. And none of them is How can we access this for example? No, I don't have links to all my topics (beside the ones in the post above), because before that redesign I had my activity streams to monitor my own topics and contributions and see how those topics evolve over time. Now they are all gone. I didn't expect to need to bookmark them all manually for later read! This is more like a reset than a redesign. And compared to time before this community forum seems dead silent now. Also the "rebuilding" process was started 6 days ago. I don't think that there are still things in the queue. This forums are still broken.

The search funciton on my community or this forum are useless
Ok, well. But that topic from me (Bug in rank progression) never was es self hosted issue. And as far as I remember, I never had posted a topic in self hosted area. So why were they moved there? Also, the other Topic about searching the word ai is rather new and it's located in current forum Ideas and Requests, but still is not listed in my activity feeds and can't be found with search. And how do I get to that old forum, e.g. "Invision Community Classic"? If I click the link in the bread crumb navigation (screen above) I get this: Also I don't see any menu entry leading to this forum.

The search funciton on my community or this forum are useless
That seems to have fixed ... something. "Content I Startet" now lists a single thread of mine: (Goes all the way down with this thread only). Other current threads like this one are still not in that stream (and can also not be found through search): https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/486871-users-cant-search-for-ai/ And one other thing: Where were threads like this moved to? https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/482137-the-rank-progress-bar-is-calculated-incorrectly/ I can find this one only with google. Also the paths in the breadcrumb nav to get there don't exist:

Any Feedback? Is this the way it's supposed to work or is it a bug? Both, Activity Streams and Search?
-
The search funciton on my community or this forum are useless
Well, I did. It reads to me, that you are aware that there is room for improvements and that ai based search might be a thing in the future. And Jim states, that activity streams only take content from the last 365 days into account. What else did I miss? Because the screenshots and links above show, that even existing features like activity streams and search currently don't work at all! Activity streams are empty when they should not and search does not find when it should.

The search funciton on my community or this forum are useless
Well, here is a topic I've started some weeks ago: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/486871-users-cant-search-for-ai/ Here is, what "Content I started" looks like: And "My Content": Also, why does this search: https://invisioncommunity.com/search/?q=%22search%20title%20only%22&quick=1&start_after=any&updated_after=any give 0 results, when this discussion I was looking for exactly contains that search term? I literally copied it from there (after I found the topic through google). In general I have to agree @michimachi. Finding content in IC is really a pain or even doesn't work at all.

Users can't search for "AI"
... or the suggested whitelist of common / trending two letter terms. I don't know if people type uppercase in the search box. People are lazy.

Users can't search for "AI"
I know that quotes will work (see my first post). But average users don't do that, so they don't find what they are looking for. We already set the default from match "Any of my search term words" to match "All of my search term words" to improve search results, because most users don't mess around with those advance options. They simply type their search in the box and hit enter, just in the same way as average Joe uses google. Also using quotes will only match that exact term. So "AI search" won't find a topic called "AI based search" but without the quotes it would. Users don't remember the exact title of the topics they are looking for, but they do remember some specific key words. And that's what they will search for. Or they just look for some specific keywords to find topics covering those. At the end the search feature has to work for our community members, not for me as an experienced community admin only.

Users can't search for "AI"
Well, right here in the forum it does not: https://invisioncommunity.com/search/?&q=ai%20search&type=forums_topic&quick=1&search_and_or=and&search_in=titles&sortby=relevancy In our own Community it's exactly the same. I don't think we, as users, can do that in our cloud hosted communities?

Users can't search for "AI"
Well, "AI" (or "KI" in Germany) is a very common topic these days, but you can't search for that in IC, because each search term requires 3 letters at least. You can combine it with another term using quotes though, like "ai coding", but that advanced kind of search is not what users type in the box. And if you search for 'ai coding' without the quotes, then the ai part is dropped silently. I guess we either need a customizable list of allowed two-letter search terms or reduce the minimum letters for a search term to 2? What do you think`?

Read/Unread Topics in Grid and Feed Views
This feature request is rather old, but essential! Please highlight unread topics in Feed View bold. We've tried out "Feed view" with our users and they complain, that they can't see what's new on the start page. I know, that there ist the "new" indicator on every forum, but since there topics listed in that view, they expect them to be bold if unread. This could look just like this (mocked, see bold topics in "Feedback" forum): This would really help for acceptance of this view.

Courses Quiz Settings: How does "Passing Score" work?
Any chance this will get fixed? Wording is still wrong and miss leading in 5.0.16 and you can still set the value to more than 100, breaking all the quizzes.
