Thanks for the replies @Gary and @Marc Stridgen I have travel agent/agency credentials and love to travel. I happen to have been born and live in a tourist town which has grown tremendously over the past 50 years. My goal is to create a travel/tourism website for my hometown based around the forum functionality. Of course blogs, event calendar, photos, and videos will be involved and later some other of the other functionalities will likely be involved to help monetize the site. However, the core of the community will be based around the forums, which I am guessing is the case for most subscribers. I don't want to completely customize the site, but I do want to make it look a certain way. I think I can achieve most of this using the built-in functionality, at least I hope this is the case. @Marc Stridgen I posted this question because I didn't want to start posting separate questions every time I ran into one. I'm willing to do the learning "up front," but the guides don't seem to be comprehensive enough to allow this. Maybe it's best that I slow down a little and go back through them again. If there is training elsewhere, please let me know. In the meantime, I'll work with the guides again and post questions as they arise. Thanks for you time!

Hi Randy, right now I'm in the setup phase. Well, I've done the most basic setup and started creating content (blog posts, events schedule). I consider myself still in the setup phase but also wanting to customize the site. I each it to look and flow better for future members. I know I have a LOT to learn but I'm up to the task. I don't have the time or desire to learn how to code. I can possibly manage some very basic code snippets obtained elsewhere and inserted, but I have no time or desire to learn to code myself. I love learning so I'm willing to put in the time and effort, but I'd like to do so in an efficient manner. That's why I'm looking for something with some structure that allows me to continue to build on what I learn.

I'm looking for comprehensive training or guides for Invision Communities. I'm beginning to feel a little overwhelmed. I know what I want to do, but having trouble getting it done. My degrees are in Computer Science and Network Engineering (from the 90s). I'm a techie guy, but I'm not a programmer (or coder as I believe it's called today). I know just enough to know I need help or I need to better educate myself. As I don't have the funds to hire someone at the moment, I'm willing to invest time in myself by learning the platform. Would someone please direct me to training via Invision or a third party? I've read the guides and looked around, but I don't see a training section. Please tell me I'm simply overlooking it. Thanks!

Sorry for the delay replying. As a new subscriber, I've been busy creating! When I post blog entries, I want to encourage discussion in the related forum. So, I'm looking for a way to add a direct link in a blog post that a member would click or tap to go to the related forum. I can do this by simply using the URL of the forum page, but I thought there may be a way, internal to Invision, that allows me to link to a specific forum.

I'm new to Invision. Just purchased my first subscription. I'm trying to link Blog entries to my various forums. I can accomplish this by using the URLs assigned to each, but I'm wondering if there is a built-in way to do this and if so, which is better. Thanks for your input.
