Hi Mike, I have the setting exactly like yours above but the Fluid view button doesn't render on forum page. Maybe it is because I have only one main forum and no subforums. I do have multiple club forums. How many forums do you have? Can you show me your frontend forum page where it renders Fluid view button with forums & clubs forums consolidated in a list with checkboxes? Cheers!

I turned on the Reviews on Articles and on the frontend article page, it renders Reviews and Comments tabs. I can add comments but there is no option to add reviews and the tabpage is readonly. "Can give star ratings for content?" for the user-group > Content is ON. Is there a separate permission for it?

is there a current-year variable to use in the copyright notice?

What are the differences between Forums and Clubs? I guess if both the Forum data and Club data are stored in the same table, the above suggestion should be feasible to consolidate their topics in Fluid view because their URL structures are similar. Otherwise, it is understandable. Please confirm if I could wait for this feature implementation or go with subforums instead... I thought Clubs sounded more modern, interesting and amusing for members to be a part of them and Clubs can have sub-clubs/subforums too. But the topic fragmentation using clubs without the option to choose Fluid view is going kill the site with lowered activity.

Can you point me to the menu path where I can turn on Ratings for Articles? I checked Pages and Databases in ACP but could not find the Ratings setting.

On the Club topic page, the Clubs widget lists only 10 clubs instead of all clubs.

Forums and Blogs have Ratings but Clubs and Articles don't. Please provide Ratings feature on Club topics and Articles as well. On hovering over Ratings stars, the stars get unhilighted and don't restore (even if we don't click on them). The only way to restore the stars is to refresh the page. Breadcrumb missing on clicking on a Club card. On the Forum homepage, the Clubs widget lists only 10 clubs but when clicked on a Topic page, the Clubs widget lists all the Clubs (more than 10 clubs)

Please provide an option to I turn off irrelevant emojis by category like country flags, food, activity, travel, symbols, etc. It would be nice to filter out everything except Smileys and Emoticons (first and last categories) to eliminate all other clutter.

I have a single forum and a few clubs. When I go to Display Settings of the forum, the "Enable Combined Fluid View?" switch is disabled with a warning - Combined fluid view cannot be enabled as this forum does not have any sub-forums Multiple forums will fragment discussions and lower forum activity negatively. I used clubs to segment popular topics but would like to offer an option to users to consolidate the forum/clubs content in a Fluid view. I guess it would be ideal to consider the Clubs as sub-forums and allow to enable Fluid View of the single forum in conjunction with Clubs. The Clubs widget (on the Forum page) could be reused/repurposed with checkboxes prefixed before each club name and Select-All checkbox to filter the Fluid view along with the single forum (to save space in the widget sidebar). It is like "View the forum along with these optional Clubs". This is just extending the functionality across topics of forum/clubs instead of enabling Fluid view for subforums only. After all, Clubs are forums and the club content is just topics (similar to forum topics) - at least the URL structures of forums, clubs and their topics are very similar. Clubs will allow us to group related topics in one place like Food, Wine, Entertainment, Travel, Music, Polls, Politics, etc. Consolidating forum and club topics in a Fluid view will resolve the lowered forum activity due to fragmentation of discussion topics across various clubs.

In a case where a mod leaves the forum, the mod's personal URL to the RSS Feed of the private Mod club remains the same which is a concern. Now we end up deactivating the account and create a new mod account for the new person. I'll submit a suggestion.

Each forum and club has it own RSS Feed in the icon menu at bottom right. When I visit the private Moderators club, there is an RSS Feed for the private club with the mod's member ID key. How do I disable the RSS Feed for Moderators only as it can contain private topics if shared inadvertently? I unchecked Moderators group in the new RSS Feed's Settings but when visiting each forum/club, there still appears an RSS Feed in the footer for the visited forum/club and this happens even for the private Moderator's club - the URL with the member ID private key. It is ok if moderators don't have access to RSS Feeds but not sure how to regenerate the new Member ID key or disable RSS Feeds for moderators. In a case where a mod quits the forum, the mod's personal URL to the RSS Feed of the private Mod club remains the same which is a concern. Now we end up deactivating the account and create a new mod account for the new person instead of reusing the same Mod account for the new person. Please provide an option to regenerate a new Mod Member ID key for RSS Feed of private clubs/forums (preferably) and this option to regen new Member ID key should also be offered while changing the email/password of any Mod account. Or, do not render the RSS Feed link for private clubs/forums.

I tried after a couple of days and I'm able to edit the footer template without having to Revert the prior changes. I don't see any errors in the browser's console.

You are right. I did not notice the member ID unique key in the URL. Thanks!

I have a private club meant for moderators only but the new RSS feed I created is listing topics from this private club. This is a serious security issue. The new feed I created does not have any options for Clubs. Is there a way to disable the Default RSS feed (Discussion Latest Topics feed)? Please advise...

I like this for now as most users may not notice/use the option to Paste as Plain Text. After pasting as Plain Text, users can reformat it if necessary. At least, the color of the pasted content won't get messed up awkwardly on the site across various themes.

Text entered in the editor has no issues on any theme. When copied and pasted, your editor could sense the background/foreground color of the pasted text and compare it with the current theme's colors and make transparent adjustments (not sure if that is even possible). This is how the text looks like when pasted from a Dark theme (when viewed on a Light theme). This is how the text looks like when pasted from a Light theme (when viewed on a Dark theme). With more power, comes more problems...

Currently, the only way to add links like Terms, Guidelines, etc. to the Footer is to modify the templates for each theme. The users should not find it difficult to locate these essential links on a site. It is surprising that IC lacks this basic feature after so many years. Please add a module to add custom links in the Footer. Also add options to Terms, Guidelines, etc. to include those links in the footer. Add a box to render custom HTML before/after the footer like a <hr> above the footer for better formatting and layout.

I set Default Forum View to Fluid in ACP > Community > Forum > Settings and switched "Members can choose..." to ON. I don't see the Community Hub widget anywhere and no Fluid view button to toggle. This settings renders ALL topics from the Forum+Clubs on the single Forum page (home) for Guest users only (no View toggle buttons and no check boxes to toggle their filters) but after login, it renders just the Forum topics on homepage without Club topics and no check box filters (just Condensed/Expanded view buttons) Is it because I have just one forum? But i have multiple Clubs which should be good enough to render Fluid view to toggle Forum+Clubs filters on the Forum page to choose - like it does for Guest users. It would be ideal to render checkbox filters in the Clubs widget to save space so Clubs widget could be reused for filtering the topics + Forum topics.

My members are able to switch the view between Condensed and Expanded. But there is no Fluid view option to select as shown in the screenshot. It would be great if the Fluid view can consolidate the topics in all forums and clubs into a single list with a filter check list. My total attachment limit is 250KB for ALLL attachments ever uploaded (not: 50MB). I ran out of it by uploading 3 downgraded screenshots

Welcome to your Which option are you using to please most of your users?

There used to be a Fluid layout - dynamic listing with Forum filter box that can include topics from Forums and Clubs on a single page. The setting is still there in the ACP but it doesn't render the Fluid switch button on the frontend. Please advise... By the way, what is the size limit on this forum for attachments? Yesterday it was saying 35KB (I uploaded only one screenshot so far) and today it says 8KB. Here is the screenshot of Fluid layout shared by your Sales team last year - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h3s4hkxFbNF6gYR1rP_b_UpbweZDqO-h/view By the way, the Fluid display is available for guests (topics from all forums+clubs in one list without the Fluid/Grid/Table switches) but when logged in, it defaults to Condensed/Expanded switches and no Fluid switch. Grid view doesn't work at all.

When I copy/paste text from a page into a post/comment and another user reads using a different theme, the background color of the pasted text is displayed in the origin theme's background color. I know there is an option to Paste in Plain Text but users may not use it because the pasted text in the editor displays with the same background as the current theme and hence not noticeable. Eg: Dark theme - copy text from a page and paste into the editor and post. Other users using a light/default theme see the pasted text with dark background. How do I workaround this issue? Here is the text I pasted that I copied from the dark theme into this editor here that is using light theme. Welcome to your community!

The user accounts I'm using to test were created sometime back but the Terms were implemented recently. I guess that explains. I'll do some additional testing with brand new user accounts and revert back if needed.
